1. It is a historically significant photo of a famous individual. According to authors Harry Shapiro and Caesar Glebbeek: "One of the abiding images of the place and time of Woodstock is Jimi, in white-beaded leather jacket, blue jeans, gold chains and a red head-scarf standing center-stage sending out "The Star Spangled Banner". (Shapiro, Harry; Glebbeek, Caesar (1995) [1990]. Jimi Hendrix: Electric Gypsy (New and Improved ed.). St. Martin's Press. ISBN 978-0-312-13062-6., page 385) Author and musicologist Ian Inglis wrote: "Woodstock has come to represent a unique moment of community, and Hendrix's appearance in particular symbolizes the freewheeling spirit of the era as well as the troubled heart of the anti-war movement." (Inglis, Ian (2006). Performance and Popular Music: History, Place and Time. Ashgate. ISBN 978-0-7546-4056-1, page 57) Pop critic Al Aronowitz, writing for The New York Post said: "It was the most electrifying moment of Woodstock, and it was probably the single greatest moment of the sixties." (Cross, Charles R. (2005). Room Full of Mirrors: A Biography of Jimi Hendrix. Hyperion. ISBN 978-0-7868-8841-2, page 271)
