Jimi Hendrix playing The Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock in 1969, photographed by Henry Diltz, the festival's official photographer. Hendrix was supposed to close on Sunday night, but things were so backed up that he didn't come on until Monday morning, and this was taken around 6am. Diltz got to stand on the stage throughout and photograph every act. "The key point was when Jimi started playing the Star Spangled Banner," he recalled. "He started to put the sound effects in: machine guns, planes dive-bombing."
Diltz, a former Modern Folk Quartet member, also shot covers for the Doors, James Taylor and Crosby, Stills & Nash, and co-founded Morrison Hotel Gallery.
