Review of Monterey Pop (1968) by Manny C — 16 Aug 2008
Most like to call Woodstock the definitive rock and roll doc, and while it is good, it still cannot hold a candle to what D.A. Pennebaker's footage of the Monterey Pop festival captures.The Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane bring the home pride, The Who scare the heck out of everyone, Janis Joplin sings with an abandonment not seen by anyone since (leaving Mama Cass in awe), Otis Redding brings gritty soul to the hippies and Jimi Hendrix blows everyone away with a iconic set.
