Sly & The Family Stone & The Who pretty much nailed it.

I don't know why people think Hendrix was so great, he was awful that night.
It was his first ever live show with the Band Of Gypsys & they were woefully under-rehearsed & it shows in their set. Compare that to his sets at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 or the Isle Of Wight festival in 1970 where he smoked out the entire bill and you'll see just how lackluster his Woodstock set actually was.
