The Festival Headliner

Woodstock also put together one of the best line-ups ever, featuring notable musicians like Ravi Shankar, Joan Baez, Santana, Janis Joplin, and Jimi Hendrix. Gypsy Sun and Rainbows, Jimi Hendrix’s band, accompanied him to deliver an epic performance. Hendrix was the festival’s headliner, and he didn’t disappoint.

Monday morning served as an extra, with Hendrix’s performance going well into the wee hours of the morning. He belted out hits like Purple Haze and Foxy Lady, and it was well worth it for those who stayed till then. Hendrix reportedly banked $18K from that performance.
