Notes about this release from Amazon.com:

Live at Woodstock, Jimi Hendrix’s headlining appearance at the 
most famous festival in rock music history, is rivaled only by 
his set at Monterey Pop for sheer legendary status. But the two 
are very different. The rock guitarist was a virtual unknown in 
America when he delivered his literally incendiary performance 
at Monterey in 1967. A little more than two years later he was 
an established star, picked to close this mammoth three-day show 
(he was slated to appear on Sunday night, but weather and various 
snafus pushed that to Monday morning). Introduced as the 
Jimi Hendrix Experience, Hendrix quickly corrects that to 
Gypsy Sun and Rainbows, with original drummer Mitch Mitchell 
and new bassist Billy Cox augmented by two percussionists and 
a second guitarist (all three are for the most part inaudible, 
subsumed in the great sonic wash of Hendrix’s wailing guitar 
and Mitchell’s thrashing drums). The music had changed, too. 
Hendrix had started moving away from the format of short, poppy 
songs with the Electric Ladyland album, and while he still plays 
"Purple Haze," "Foxey Lady," and "Fire," much of the emphasis in 
this lengthy set is on extended jamming. Not all of it works, 
but when it does--as on "Spanish Castle Magic" and a sped-up 
"Voodoo Child (Slight Return)," which leads into the feedback-drenched 
re-imagining of "The Star-Spangled Banner"--the performance takes 
off. Little more than a year later, Jimi Hendrix, still regarded 
as the greatest rock guitarist ever, would be dead. ~ Sam Graham
