Editorial Reviews
While Woodstock remains the festival of the '60s, Monterey in many ways laid the foundation. During the height of 1967's "summer of love," the Monterey Pop Festival ushered in the new voices of rock and introduced America to the otherworldly guitar work of Jimi Hendrix. With a star-studded lineup that included Janis Joplin, Otis Redding, the Who, Jefferson Airplane, Ravi Shankar, and Simon & Garfunkel, the show featured many of the era's finest musicians performing at the peak of their ability. D. A. Pennebaker (Don't Look Back, Down from the Mountain) documented it all masterfully, capturing such legendary moments as Jimi Hendrix setting his guitar aflame and the Who destroying their instruments. Almost as astonishing as the virtuosity of the acts is the unpretentious attitude of the musicians, who are captured on film by Pennebaker freely mingling with the crowd during fascinating interstitial footage. This three-disc Criterion treatment includes three films: "Monterey Pop," "Jimi Plays Monterey," and "Shake! Otis at Monterey," as well as more than 90 minutes of rarely seen outtakes. In addition, there's commentary from Pennebaker, festival co-producer Lou Adler, and Hendrix biographer Charles Shaar Murray. For those who were around to experience it, the impact of Monterey is difficult to overstate. And for those who weren't, this DVD offers the clearest, most complete picture yet. Barnes & Noble
