Jimi Hendrix was the last artist to perform at Woodstock. Several delays pushed his performance from late at night to nine the next morning. He performed for two hours in front of 30,000 fans. His most memorable moment came when he played the “Star Spangled Banner,” putting a psychedelic twist on the patriotic ballad.
Woodstock was expected to be chaos. It peaked with an estimated attendance of 400,000. Surprisingly, the festival proved peaceful. There were even a few babies born there! Next, Joan Baez finds herself in handcuffs for her activism.
