Jimi Hendrix - The Star Spangled Banner (Woodstock '69)


I once read an interview w/ Jimi when he was asked where he got his "sound". He was of course a paratrooper with the Screaming Eagles for a short time and he replied that the sound he was trying to replicate was the wind whistling thru his ears when he jumped out of a plane.

Going along with that Yoko Ono once said that the sound she was trying to achieve in her music was the sound of falling bombs from the American air force over Japan during WW2.

Woodstock 41 years ago August 15, 1969.

Methinks Hendrix might have liked the guitar work in this 90's tune...

Zippy, I learned about "Black Keys" from you, thanks, I like the band.
Here's one of the covers to their "All You Ever Wanted", I was saving it for a scene for Further Days but, alas! writing it feels more and more impossible as days go by. I like the different tempo than the original.

Rhapsody In Blue - King of Jazz - Paul Whiteman - George Gershwin

Here's an abridged version of the George Gershwin masterpiece composed for Paul Whiteman in 1924, from this 1930 2-strip Technicolor revue film.

"The segment opens with a completely unrelated "Voodoo Dance" from Africa (?), followed by the opening clarinet solo danced by Jacques Cartier, and then Roy Bargy playing the piano solo.

"Danced by Russell Markert Girls and Sisters G.

"King of Jazz" was the first motion picture to use a pre-recorded soundtrack made independently of the actual filming. Whiteman insisted that the entire soundtrack be pre-recorded in order to obtain the best sound, avoiding the poor recording conditions and extraneous noises found in a movie studio. Universal opposed the idea, but Whiteman insisted and prevailed over the reluctant studio executives. After the sound was recorded, the scene was filmed. Later, the film was synchronized to the soundtrack. This allowed the movie to be directed in the same manner as a silent film, with resulting sounds not affecting the completed film.

Hey Sven...Love that BOH song too! Think I'm gonna get the album. Heard this one today and was reminded how much I loved it when it first came out.

Just catching up on evryone's posts and was reading Sven's Angel poem.
I have been hearing this song a lot lately and was thinking that Robert Plant (or whoever wrote it) must have been inspired by Michaelangelo or at the very least those cute little cherub statues. This song sounds (to me) like it could have been a track on Zeppelin 3.
