It's been 50 years, and no one, absolutely no one, is able to exactly reproduce that amazing sound.
Some get close. They play most of the right notes. But no one has recreated the amazing sound of that 1968 Olympic White Fender Stratocaster, the Marshall stack, and Jimi's effects pedals bouncing off the faces of the 50,000 lucky people who remained that early Monday morning.
Jimi attained that height within just four years, then he left the planet to go and kiss the sky. Imagine if he was still alive today.
Yes he was. Villanova Junction, the last song in the Woodstock set, is an excellent example of that. Many different jazz styles are woven into a lyrical, sad and beautiful composition.
While I think OP's link sounds better, I found another edit of that performance with less close-ups of Jimi's nose, and more of his amazing guitar work visible.
That would be fantastic, but probably difficult with copyright claims these days. I remember watching the Woodstock movie in a theater in my high school days, yelling at the screen, "His hands! Dammit show his hands!" As the camera moves from his nose, to his elbow, the shin bone...
Man, that never gets old!

...it was a moment that will never be recreated....
...Jimi was dabbling into jazz about the time of his departure....

Fireworks started on the 3rd all around my neighborhood. This year thanks to the SCOTUS is going to be one of the loudest fourths

...I agree, it was a compromise....
...maybe one day we can have them combined....

...I have never figured out why directors were so prone to do that...
...maybe that what they thought the "ladies" wanted to see....
