Today in Creative History: August 18th, 1969, Jimi Hendrix plays a visionary rendition of The Star Spangled Banner for a stunned audience at Woodstock. It's a performance that will go down in history as the musical climax of a tumultuous decade in the USA. Decades later, this rendition still sounds as startling to our ears as it must have to the tens of thousands in attendance.  If you'd like to become a supporter of Creative Codex and receive access to all of the patron exclusives (including the Kurt Cobain series and the Sermons Only version of Jung's Seven Sermons) check out my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mjdorian If you'd like to buy me a coffee or some new guitar strings, now you can on Venmo!
