My favorite cover of a Jimi Hendrix song is Voodoo Child by Angelique Kidjo and Buddy Guy (who is probably a better guitarist than Jimi was, but don't say that too loudly or people will get pissed).

In the grand scheme of things, how about Hendrix’s Star Spangled Banner?
It happened at Woodstock, right at the end, which I think can be argued was the exact moment when the US turned some sort of corner.
Up until that moment, the shit had been absolutely hitting the fan here in the US, hard and fast. The Vietnam War and the Civil Rights Movement were ripping the country apart, King and RFK had recently been assassinated, the riots of the Long Hot Summer in 1968 and the emergence of the Black Panthers were still fresh in everyone’s minds, the Hippie community was poisoned by amphetamines, etc., and then came Woodstock. By this time, I think most people realized that we were no longer in the same era as before. Maybe in a lot of ways Woodstock was intended to give us one last hit of the idealistic, communal vibe that was so certainly slipping out of existence by that time. And I think it’s safe to say that Woodstock did that, quite well.
Then on the last day, as the last act, Hendrix played the Star Spangled Banner. There were only 30 or 40 thousand people left at the time (of 600,000). It was completely muddy, there was trash everywhere, every single person remaining was exhausted. The place looked like a war zone. Hendrix hadn’t slept in 3 days. By this time the media had made the nation aware of what was going on. It was a raw, raw moment in US history that Hendrix captured perfectly. I think the sentiment was along the lines of ‘we don’t really know how we got here, but a lot of shit is going to change, and soon’.
