Before posting Jimi's moving Star Spangled Banner,
~ Carlos Santana's magnificent 'Soul Sacrifice' performance, 1969 Woodstock before 500,000, a half a million people.
Wonderful years! 
and many including this wonderful presentation of the classic 'Oye Como Va'. Carlos' playing, the pianist, percussionists and awesome crowd are amazing. Don't know how I missed Santana since we followed concert schedules closely. But I was fortunate to see many other greats as I noted in the thread.
I wish DU would set up a Front Page section for the arts rather than merging all into one large Video & MMM section. Or separate off the political and current affairs postings. This has probably been suggested I'm sure. Have a great day!

Am interested in the possible CD release of what would've been "Santana IV," with the presence of Shrieve, Rolie and Schon.
What a blessing to have this music.
P.S. Re Jimi - listened today to "Pali Gap," also from "Rainbow Bridge."
That's some quite artful layering and dubbing of lines.
Also - a live version of "Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad" on YouTube is, well, have a listen.
There's more than one live version; this is from the "In Concert" LP released in 1973.
The cover of LP/CD is the four standing next to each, in nature, looking straight ahead (detail may be needed).
My boys (in their forties} and many of their friends idolize him.
I think his playing of "The Star Spangled Banner" on his guitar was just unbelievable.
He's also very handsome.

He is burred in Renton Washington. I visited his grave back in 1994 and it was just a foot-stone with his name and a stratocaster engraved on it. This is his grave now:
Now for the sergeant:
a few times and may visit the site next time. We saw Morrison's grave in Paris, what an experience. The music, harmony and creativity of that time was something, so glad I was around then. At times like this it seems like yesterday.
Peace, and here's to the power of love as Jimi would say.
going to see Jimi in Baltimore wanted us to go. We were quite young and Dad said no, but I've had the opportunity to see other greats like Elvis, The Allman Brothers with Duane, Sly Stone, Dylan, Prince, Aretha Franklin, Tina and Ike and quite a few more. Hendrix was the man in that exceptional time of brilliant musicians. Wish I'd seen him perform like Santana and Morrison. Peace.
to Hawaii. Went years ago to see friends near Princeville, Kauai who started a café/restaurant. Only saw a bit of Honolulu but the wonders of Kauai were awesome, the flora, waters, beaches, Waimea Canyon and a night at Tahiti Nui's I'll always remember.
Loved the artistic clothes that Hendrix and others wore then, so colorful, decorative and exotic! How things have changed.
