I find it interesting that Melanie was not mentioned. John Sebastian wasn't mentioned either, but they never PLANNED on having him perform. I forget the actual events word for word but it was something like 'I was there doing such and such and they had some empty time and they said go ahead and play'. Don't quote me on that but I know it was something close to that.
Another thing that has made me think 'Hmm...what if...' is what if Jimi had not been so stubborn to insist on playing Sunday and played some other day. Would it have been so wonderful and praised like it is now? Would Jimi have been the same mind frame and put so much heart and soul into his rendition of 'The Star Spangled Banner'? Just something to think about I guess...
