Organizers of West Fest, a concert that will put 42 bands on 3 stages in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park Sunday (10/25), also hope as many as 3,000 guitarists will show up to jam during a closing set tribute to Jimi Hendrix so the event can lay claim to a Guinness Record.  The free Woodstock anniversary festival features Jefferson Starship, Leslie West of Mountain, Country Joe McDonald, Ray Manzarek of The Doors, Ronnie Montrose, and dozens of current and former members of other Bay Area bands and groups that played the 1969 event. The record for the most guitarists was set last August in Texas, where 1,859 played (story).  The concert organizers included Woodstock veteran Artie Kornfeld.
