1* Music/JimiHendrix opens up the last morning of Woodstock with his epic version of "Star-Spangled Banner". The most remembered moment out of what became a historic weekend.
2** And later on Series/TheDickCavettShow, Cavett warns Hendrix that he's gonna get hate mail for performing an "unorthodox version" of the national anthem, Jimi replies, "Unorthodox? Nah man, [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments I thought it was beautiful.]]"
3** Remember that Jimi himself was a veteran, having served in the paratroopers. Reportedly, members of the military loved him.
4* As shown in his performance of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMGv4EewHdg "Hey Joe"]] at the 1967 Film/MontereyPop Festival, he's able to play the guitar with his ''teeth''.
5* Two days after Music/SgtPeppersLonelyHeartsClubBand came out, the Hendrix Experience covered it at the Saville Theatre. [[ApprovalOfGod Paul McCartney, who was in the audience, viewed it as one of the greatest honours of his career]].
