One of my favourite pieces by Jimi… it’s absolutely beautiful. I had this played at my Dad’s funeral several years ago & the peaceful, reflective, somewhat mournful quality of this superb instrumental truly echoed my emotions that day.

the greatest ending ever by the only one Jimi Hendrix (1942-1970) .Rest in peace and power,bro!

this is the best guitar playing ever recorded

A sadness for the end of an era.. ... melancholy blues , he knew it was over.

So happy 2 C all these incredible comments! We all agree that this piece of Jimi has touched our hearts the most out of a!l that he has given us!! His emotional spiritual depth in this song is like no other!!! You really were the true Voodoo child Jimi! Rest in peace brother!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I've always thought this song was some of his best playing.

Over 50 years ago, Jimi did this for all of us suffering thru This 21st Century of HORRORS 2001< A true ANGEL of GOD! He somehow KNEW! He is still there, watching.... J.C. Age 73

I always refer to this song as Jimmy's requiem. Soulful filled with elation and then sadness.

This was filled with an almost unendurable beauty. I met a few people who were there, and I'm acquainted with Juma Sultan, the guy who played African percussion on that gig (and also on Hendrix' performance on the Dick Cavett Show). Everyone said it was one of those indescribable moments where everything fell into place. And it pretty much puts everything in perspective. Here was the end of a tumultuous decade. The month before, men walked on the moon. Woodstock was all about peace, love, flowers, etc. Then Hendrix comes out and plays the most violent rendition of the national anthem anyone could have made. It reminded the audience what kind of reality awaited them when they came down from their high. And it admonished the whole nation for violating its covenant with God and its people. Then after a heavy romp with Purple Haze, he does a guitar improvisation, then this work of absolute beauty. And that was it. There was nothing more that could be done (he did Hey Joe as an encore, but,,,,). Nobody but Hendrix could have pulled that off.

The best song never recorded on studio

This Vilanova Junction.....Pali Gap from Rainbow Bridge....and Machine Gun from Band of Gypsies. His finest work. Incomparable and unique. A force of nature.

Jimi 50 years ago today at Woodstock. 18 August 1969 - 18 August 2019. Jimi’s music will live forever. Cool, iconic, and truly beautiful.

My favorite Hendrix noodling.

this song is only found on the Woodstock album. I feel it is one of his best songs even though he was just jamin. One of the best.

Hi, Jimi , decades later , I'm 72 by now and you made me a blues, rock and METAL -Fan, still visiting festivals with people of all age. Thank you for everything!

Every note and every blank space has a meaning and a feel. That’s why he’s so great

13 years old when the movie was shown in german cinema in 1970. After watching and listening all that insane stuff this scene blew me away. This improvisation is one of my alltime Hendrix favorites.

By the way this is called Villanova Junction and wasn't completely improvised. Jimi had rehearsed and created this song at the Shokan house in preparation for the Woodstock festival

one of my fav Hendrix tunes, as he stated himself he must be extra terrestrial.

Jimi, just when there’s nothing else he can do on the guitar 🎸 he once again shows us there’s a lot more he can do’ ! And this is an example of this

Saw Mr. Hendrix walking down Liberty Rd. coming from Mrs. Isley's, (The Isley Brothers mom) house.

Hoje 2022. Em 1970 tinha 14 aninhos.No antigo cine Bijou na praca rooseveld em sPaulo Brasil,assisti Woodstock pelo menos umas 15 vezes.Indescritivel a performance do Hendrix .Apice purple haze e este final com este blues melancolico.Obra prima.Bons tempos e boa musica.

Will always be the greatest guitarist that has ever lived 50 years later and no one has come near as good

A beautiful song, beautifully played and written in the mind of Jimi Hendrix. I've been loving it for over 50 years.

The best live guitar performance of its time. Every heavy metal god owes Jimi a debt of gratitude. He was unquestionably the best guitarist of his time.

This song is terrifying beautiful ❤

This song was consciously laid down by Jimmy Hendrix for the future generation to discover the feel of soul music. Timeless

I've just experienced every emotion humanly possible listening to this, absolutely beautiful, what a God given talent, what a beautiful human being RIP JIMMY 🙏❤️😎

Magical out of this world Indian classical riff, unfathomable talent if James Marshall Hendrix, with great timely drumming of Mitch Mitchell ...rock on beyond...🙂

This is his most wonderful super play.

beautiful piece of music. Shows the pure genius of this Artist. Many techniques and styles in this performance

When this came out on record, I thought that this beautifully sensitive guitar work, combined with the bombastic shrieking "Star Spangled Banner", comprised the single greatest display of guitar mastery and craftsmanship I'd ever heard. Now, fifty years later - I feel exactly the same way.

One of my favorite Hendrix tunes ever. So much soul. It was included on the first Woodstock album. Couldn't stop listening to this one.

My favorite of all Hendrix music. Groovy, touching and intensive. Simply love it.

It’s Hendrix! There’s nothing much more you can say! When you hear Jimi Hendrix you know it’s him ! No questions about it

Bro.... the 6 min before this song has being taken off a yt and its the best music piece ever

End of the World listening. A New Year's kit song in this house. Beautiful closing for history.

Not just a song ...an event. A feeling

Two minutes and 38 seconds of the most beautiful, soulful, tender, agonizing, redemptive pieces of music ever recorded. Saw Mr. Jimi live when I was 17 years old. He changed music and changed the world. I still miss him.

I saw hendrix three times , once when i was about 12-13 in Hawaii , didn’t even know of him nor knew he was on stage with 7,500 girls screaming monkees. Went to SD yrs later. Never the hippie but grooved on rock, hendrix first time too much feedback and whay out, second time oh yeah he smoked ,looked like one with that white strat . Then woodstock at the end was the heaviest mellow moment for me, many years I looked for that ending, thanks to utube ( i was not at woodstock)

This is the sort of thing that he could just knock off for fun. For most musicians it would be a dream to be able to play such stuff at the best of times. Glad somebody else recognised this masterful recording.

Song and video express perfectly the coming End of the Summer of Love. A turning point. And the moment for hippies to becom nostalgic...

I’m amazed by what Hendrix could do with the guitar 🎸, etc! I am a musician myself! The things I dream impossible, Jimi Hendrix does! As for me being able to do these things , yeah you guessed it, I’m literally still dreaming like 👍 every one ☝️ else

I'm 56 but remember very young renting a vidio from block Buster's a Wood Stock concert..my favorite was Jimmi Hendrix !!!

I love you too Hendrix...live on forever❤️❤️

How can you be that accurate and sutile Honey My Love ❤

one of his deepest.... super tone...

Like Picasso putting aside his spectacular, surreal work and doing a drawing of a little kid. Shed the power and let the love shine out.

This brings tears to my eyes. Love Jimi and he’s my cousin too…serious- found out doing my family genealogy! Blew me away.

Without a doubt the best version of this song

Sempre será alguém muito especial. Hendrix não era só um músico. Cada nota emitida por sua guitarra era repleta de beleza e emoção. Eternamente Hendrix em meu coração

to me this has always been "Untitled Instrumental", as it was on the Woodstock Album sleeve released prior to the film. we learned it by ear and played it for years to close our original shows, an ode to jimi. love to all from italy, robert

me,too. 昔、NHK-FM クロスオーバーイレブンで聞いたことがあります。最後にジミヘンの「thank you」の声も記憶に残っています。

God bless you Jimi, and thank you....

🎵🎶Hey man, take a look out the window and see what's happening Hey man, it's raining It's raining outside man Aw, don't worry about that Everything's going to be everything We'll get into something real nice you know Sit back and groove on a rainy day Yeah, yeah I see what you mean brother, lay back and groove Rainy day, dream away Ah let the sun take a holiday Flowers bathe an' ah see the children play Lay back and groove on a rainy day Well, I can see a bunch of wet creatures, look at them on the run The carnival traffic noise it sings the tune splashing up and Even the ducks can groove rain bathing in the park side pool And I'm leaning out my windowsill digging everything And you too Rainy day, rain all day Ain't no use in getting uptight, just let it groove its own way Let it drain your worries away Lay back and groove on a rainy day Lay back and dream on a rainy day🎵🎶

1 of the most amazing adlibs ever

Thanks for this….. Man , Jimi was such a richly gifted artist…… I miss him.

Finally I found This OMG year's I've been searching... Thanks Jimi 💜

That is my most favorite piece of music. Just playing what his heart was feeling at the time, looking out over the field.

There was his supreme miracle work I saw it in Yamaha Hall in Tokyo 1970. It still brings me a sadness and joy. I really saw him in a big screen with many young people. He was a man called Jimi Hendrix.

Thanks Jimi!!!

Yeah, maybe a tad sad, but so beautiful, totally different from his usual repertoire, but so tasteful ~ Love You Jimi, you inspired me to play. I don't trip on LSD any more, I just trip on the carpet ! 🎵

This ' ending ' pi ece tears my soul apart. Yes, tears too. Look who opened it/ who closed it.

What a masterpiece. I think this was the direction Jimi was headed to. Sadly we will never know. RIP

I love Jimi playing like this it goes right down to your soul. It is moving and you can feel the sadness the end of an era to it. When he plays like this like in little wing, castles made of sand, new rising sun , machine gun etc that's when I think his true greatness comes out ...the softer side as well as the heavy metal machine sound of the faster songs. R.i.p

There's a website called "Why Jimi Hendrix Played Last At Woodstock", but it goes on with some B.S. about Jimi's manager being greedy, YET IF YOU WATCH THE FILM ABOUT WOODSTOCK (made at the time), YOU SEE THE WHO ARGUING WITH JIMI THE NIGHT BEFORE ABOUT WHO'S GOING TO GO ON LAST. Both bands seem to be humble, saying to each other (but rather heatedly, at least on The Who's part): "We're not goin' on after you! We can't follow Jimi Hendrix!"; but I think it was really about the fact that the 2nd-last act would have the best time slot, because the last act would be on too late. Jimi made the best of all the delays (The Who also ran well over) by going on 9am Monday Morning, even though 90% of the 400,000 audience had left by then; but for those who stayed, what a magical time and place that must've been!

I ❤️ this song !!! SO beautiful !!!

So so so beautifull....

Love this song!

this is definitely the BEST of ALL TIME

How good was that... Jimi couldn't read music...he didn't need to...GENIUS

And they are still cleaning the place up to this day

This ist the Magic no one else can do exept him

Thank you.... What an incredible understatement

incredible music... made me start guitare when i was 16..

This always leaves me with a lump in my throat and a grin on my face. Words fail. 💔→❤bless him.

One of His Masterpieces!

so appropriate to show the end of woodstock..a somewhat gentle but lovely solid rock ballad

This isn't even a song right? Just genius coming out of a guitar at the end of a decade, trailing off.....

Beautiful, unostentatious and phrasing so free it has to be Jimi. Fly on...

The BEST

Eternal song ☮️🙏

Might just be the greatest guitar riff ever imagined and recorded.. soulful, playful, and oh so powerfully representative of the human condition..powerful and soft

An extraordinary display of emotion!

my dad saw him fucking play this

this song seemed like background music for a caravan.fitting end to a great mucical event

Just great

Hendrix way of saying thank you..and yes beautiful track,song or whatever,with influences of blues jazz and rock and blues

Jimmy hendrix o maior artista musical e guitarrista do planeta Terra 🌎 guitarra 🎸.

Que buen tema con aire tranquilo y tocado como ninguno, sólo como Jimi Hendrix lo hacía 👏🎸

Bru rip to jimi had to play this 4 times over I wish this went on for a hour super rip to one of the greatest to ever live, this is what the world should be done right now working together and cleaning up our messes left behind by all how poetic and beautiful

Beautiful !

That's the cut I've been looking for. I think somebody stole my album. Thank Ya...

Gotta love all Jimis genious music. But listen extra careful to the details of this tune. One of his best live moments ever. It has got everything. Its AMAZING. ( Especially if you knows what he is doing on the guitar ).

Gracias negro por tu musica!!........de otra Galaxia

When I first heard this I thought it was the most fantastic guitar playing I'd ever heard! But; it seemed to go on FOREVER!!! musta been the psychedelic acid...lol

I've heard a lot of covers but none come close. Masterpiece

I also thought Jimi was playing a Flying V for this song, but in this video, it looks like his Strat.

It isn't because he is playing difficult licks on this tune. He is playing the right melody. It is just different as well as beautiful.

So sad, I could cry.
