Well, I saw the film (released a year later?), and I
remember seeing it!
So many greats! Santana - wow! The Who, Richie Havens, Joe Cocker, Alvin Lee, CSN&Y, Sly, ...
and of course, Jimi. It actually took me a while to fully appreciate his Star Spangled Banner, I love it now. But I think his most under-rated song of all time, one that I think few people could name (even people who could name, Hey Joe, Purple Haze, Cross Town Traffic, The Wind Cries Mary, Fire, Third Stone from the Sun, Foxy Lady, Are You Experienced?, Manic Depression, Spanish Castle Magic, Little Wing, If 6 Was 9, Bold as Love , Voodoo Child (Slight Return) ).... this song, "Villanova Junction". I just think it is stunningly beautiful, and so fitting as an ending. Sorry to be morbid, but I want this song at my funeral, it always had a wonderful finality, yet this amazing fluid spirit of openness to its sound, like floating on air and drifting off to... where?
And since I first became familiar with the CSN&Y version of "Woodstock", Joni's original sounded strange to me, but I've come to love them both.
