Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock

August 18, 1969


It's been 40 years since Jimi Hendrix caught up with Neil Young at Woodstock.


On that helicopter day, a million stories were made. And here's one of our favorites -- Jimi & Neil trying to make it to the Woodstock concert along with the nearly half a million strong.


We had long believed it to be an urban legend that Jimi and Neil stole a truck in order to make it to Woodstock. It turns out that is not too far off the mark.


From a radio interview program "On The Record" by Mary Turner in 1979, Neil was asked about what he remembered of Woodstock: 

Young: "One of things I remember about Woodstock was trying to get there to play. As it turns out, the charter plane I was on with Jimi Hendrix flew into the wrong airport. We were supposed to be picked by a helicopter. The roads were jammed and there was nobody at the airport, so we had no way to get to the concert.


So we're standing at the airport with Melvin Belli [an attorney] trying to figure out what to do. And Melvin Belli steals this pickup truck parked at the airport.


So it's the three of us in this stolen pickup truck trying to get to the Woodstock concert to play -- Jimi, Melvin & me.


That's what I really remember about Woodstock.

peace


More on Jimi Hendrix and Neil Young and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young at Woodstock.


Also, see Woodstock: The Day After.


UPDATE 8/17: Another variation of the story appears in David Zimmer's CROSBY, STILLS & NASH: The Biography with Neil hot-wiring the truck and Elliot Roberts, Young's manager, is driving the pickup truck with Jimi Hendrix on the hood. 


Elliot says: 'Jimi Hendrix was a hood ornament! It was insane.'"


As they say, if you remember Woodstock, you weren't there...Labels: jimi hendrix, neil young, woodstock

Well, there is in fact a pick-up truck story tha Neil tells in Shakey. "We were on the other side of the crowd. So we get this pickup truck, and we're driving it thru the crowd. I think everybody was pretty high. Crosby and Stills were standing on the front of the truck or on the running boards yelling..."


It is very likely that the 2 stories got confused by the coke heads. I would go with Neil's '79 story considering he wasn't high at woodstock and he tells the story only 10 years after the fact.

I know someone who claims to have been at woodstock and a Stratocaster was thrown into the crowd by someone in his band or even Jimi he does not know who threw it. He still has the guitar and this person is trustworthy.

The white strat with the dirt is the woodstock strat. He played the black syrat and the white strat at his last concert in fehmarn. There is a picture of him playing the white strat and the grain in the headstock is clearly visible =hendrix+fehmarn&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjh8NmpuMH3AhW-k_0HHeIgBWMQ2-cCegQIABAB&oq=hendrix+fe&gs_lcp=ChJtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1pbWcQARgAMgUIABCABDIECAAQHjIECAAQHjIECAAQHjIECAAQHjoCCCk6BAgpEBM6BAgAEAM6CAgAEIAEELEDOggIABCxAxCDAToECAAQQ1DjFli9M2CMQGgAcAB4AYAB9AGIAesFkgEFMy4yLjGYAQCgAQGwAQXAAQE&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-img&ei=KCJwYuG8Hr6n9u8P4sGUmAY&bih=741&biw=412&client=ms-android-samsung-rvo1&prmd=simvn#imgrc=S0NvST9Ue41h0M

I actually touched the headstock on the woodstock strat at EMP in 2000, I also noticed it had a roughly 6 inch scrape on the top of body above the pick guard(would be below pick guard for Jimi because he played it upside down.) The last 2 inches of the scrape angled abruptly at about a 20 degree angle. The scrape scratched the finish but did not go through to the wood.The color was a bit brighter cream yellow than what I expected. Other than that it looked almost new. 17dc91bb1f
