Album Notes & Community Reviews

Capturing his iconic closing set at the 1969 festival with the short-lived 'Gypsy Sun and Rainbows' ensemble. The sprawling, heavily improvisational performance is most famous for his feedback-heavy, profoundly political deconstruction of 'The Star-Spangled Banner', which remains one of the most culturally significant moments in rock history.
