Review of Monterey Pop (1968) by Darren B — 28 Aug 2010
Great documentary capturing the Monterey Pop Festival of 1967, with a slew of now-legendary acts. Janis Joplin, the Mamas and Papas, Canned Heat, and Otis Redding, only months before his death that same year. And who can forget The Who's rowdy performance of "My Generation" complete with Pete Townshend's destructive antics, only to be topped by Jimi Hendrix setting his guitar on fire, and then smashing his guitar?
Ravi Shankar's ending piece rounds off what was one of the most notable music festivals of the 1960's, topped later by Woodstock.
