I saw Randy Hanson years ago and he is good
One could say I'm a Jimi Hendrix fan.
Pretty good,I never heard of Randy.
Would be awesome to see him play live!
Then there's this group:

Another favorite....that one.
And to hear he was backstage and hopped up on mesc at the time, and was called to play ...and played that historic performance...well, kudos to Carlos.
I read that the Woodstock promoters were looking to fill out the bill and asked Bill Graham to suggest some SF bands...he gave two names of the newer bands on the SF scene, It's a Beautiful Day, and Santana.
The promoters listened to the tapes, and chose Santana. And, the rest, as they say, is history.
Interesting stuff.What you might not know about Jimi Hendrix…
- He voluntarily enlisted in the Army, and was honorably discharged after only one year of service.
- Left handed Hendrix played his (standard right-handed) Stratocaster Upside-Down.
Interesting. Didn't know that. Keyword searches based upon that info allowed me to find this interesting trivia about Woodstock:Another favorite....that one.

I read that the Woodstock promoters were looking to fill out the bill and asked Bill Graham to get the Grateful dead...he did, on the condition they took another band from his management list of SF bands...he gave two names of the newer bands on the SF scene, It's a Beautiful Day, and Santana.
The promoters listened to the tapes, and couldn't decide...so they flipped a coin....and chose Santana. And, the rest, as they say, is history.

Interesting stuff.
I have a book on all of Hendrix's guitars and their whereabouts, including the pieces of the ones he smashed.
He did have at least one Strat designed and set up for a lefty - a sunburst that did not need to be restrung.
Oddly enough....never played it in a concert.
Seen him with flying Vs, but did not know he had a Gibson SG or Les Paul.
Interesting. Didn't know that. Keyword searches based upon that info allowed me to find this interesting trivia about Woodstock:
"Santana was supposed to go on later on the evening of day two but due to all the delays the band was forced to go on much earlier. However, Carlos Santana had taken a dose of mescaline and was still peaking when the band was performing. As a result, he imagined that the neck of his guitar had become a snake and was moving."
Didn't know this amazing fact about this famous song:
Richie Havens' song "Freedom" was totally improvised. He was called for so many encores that he ran out of songs to sing, so he just picked up his guitar and started singing "Freedom".
EDIT: Another act that was invited to play the festival but declined was Led Zeppelin. Instead, they played a concert that same weekend not too far away from the site in New Jersey.
Having owned a few Strats and, an SG (they both are worlds apart). I'm glad he did the bulk of his work with the Fender...such a beautiful sounding guitar over all aspects of the musical scale. Just choose your wood and, let the beast sing! Thanks for the video MaxQ! (BIG Hendrix fan here.) Hate too say it to but, i also did not know about Randy Hansen....Awesome tripping, channeling effect...Whoooooooa!:surprised:

That is the night I was privileged to see Jimi in concert at the Band Shell at Waikiki beach park. I graduated from Navy boot camp in San Diego in April and had been sent to Hawaii to wait for my ship to return from a WestPac cruise. I can't remember how I got a ticket but my roommate and I rode the bus from the base to the park. It was my first "real" Rock Concert. It was amazing and I was a fan from that time on.
Friday night he had stopped his concert due to sound problems and told everyone to keep their tickets so they could attend the Sunday concert. A friend had been to the Friday concert and offered me his ticket as he had duty on Sunday. By Sunday I didn't have enough money for bus fare, base pay was only $125.00 per month and I was sending $50 home for a car payment, so I couldn't go.
