Vintage Video - 4th of July Special

To mark US Independence day, a couple of  unconventional but brilliant performances of the American National Anthem:


Marvin Gaye - The Star Spangled Banner
Recorded at the 1983 NBA All Star game, just over a year before his tragic death.




Jimi Hendrix - The Star Spangled Banner
Live at Woodstock 1969 (actually starts about 1 minute in)

This is the only video of this performance currently on YouTube. Presumably they get taken down for copyright reasons, so enjoy it while it's there.
