		The Monterey city fathers, who had braced themselves for an onslaught of debauched hooligans, were pleasantly surprised to see thousands of well-mannered, neatly-groomed (most of then men weren't even sporting shoulder-length hair) flower children milling peacefully around the festival grounds.
		Monterey marked the first time Jimi had performed for an American audience since 1966, and he made it count; by the time his set was finished, his Stratocaster was in ashes and the audience were shaking their heads in disbelief.
		Given the fair to moderate pop success of singles like Try A Little Tenderness and I've Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now), he was completely unprepared for the ecstatic response he received from the Monterey festival-goers.

	Music: Tiny Tunes (Weekly Alibi . 07-08-97)
		From John Phillips' opening address on Disc One to the festival finale on Disc Four, featuring an inspired version of "Dancing In The Streets" by The Mamas and The Papas, it is apparent that June 16, 17 and 18, 1967, were three of the most perfect--not to mention vital--days in the history of music.
		This collection, consisting of ex-cerpts from the sets of 20 of the 31 artists who appeared at the festival, is an effective collection of concert highlights--including some of the more memorable performances offered on stage, but it falls short as a complete historical documentary of the event.
		And the Monterey International Pop Festival was important enough to be represented in its entirety, or at least representative of all of the artists whose motto, Music, Love and Flowers, has carried on for two decades.

	DVD Breakdown \| The Complete Monterey Pop Festival (1967)
		But from a musical perspective, the Monterey festival, a much smaller-scale affair as far as the numbers of visitors were concerned, was a much more influential event.
		The immense variety of soulful performances at Monterey Pop went a long way towards convincing a skeptical public that there might be more to rock than had previously been the consensus opinion.
		As a film, Monterey Pop is neither as innovative nor as technically proficient as some of Pennebaker's other documentaries from this period, limiting the film's audience to those with a strong interest in the music and history of that time.

		The idea for the Monterey International Pop Festival came out of the mid-60's belief that what had been pop music was now a much more serious art form, and could take its place alongside jazz.
		The idea for the festival is originally credited to Alan Pariser, heir to the Sweetheart paper fortune, who conceptualized the concert while attending the 1966 Monterey Jazz festival.
		The first major music festival was held on June 16, 17 and 18, 1967 at the Monterey County Fairgrounds in Monterey, California.

		The eclecticism of the festival is well-represented in the box set, which features outstanding performances from Jimi Hendrix, The Byrds, The Butterfield Blues Band, and many more.
		At the Monterey Pop festival, Hendrix played wonderfully and the box also records the final moments when he destroyed his guitar.
		The importance and far-reaching impact of the original musical mega-fest, Monterey Pop '67, is a fascinating cultural study in it's own right.

		Thrown just as the Summer of Love was starting, The Monterey Pop Festival was the place for west coast hippies and musical lovers.
		Arguably the best festival of all time, the Monterey Pop Festival introduced the wailing guitar of Jimi Hendrix, the smashes and blasts of the Who, and the vocal stylings of the amazing Janis Joplin to the masses.
		Most of the facts on Monterey were taken from the book "Monterey Pop", by Joel Selvin, and of course wanted (and unwanted) opinions and ramblings by me. I hope you enjoy it...

	The Complete Monterey Pop Festival - Movie Review - Stylus Magazine
		Just as the Monterey and Woodstock Festivals were decidedly different affairs, the films are a study in contrasting style, despite the similar subject matter and general filming technique.
		The Who, for all their festival appearances, never seemed to take too keenly to the whole “flower power” scene, and their apocalyptic set reinforces that notion; they seem to revel in providing a bit of wanton destruction to shock the peace-and-love crowd out of its dope-induced mellow.
		The Monterey Pop Festival was all about having an open mind, embracing differences, and achieving world peace, if only in that little corner of the world.

		Simply put, this DVD set is a must have for everyone that loves rock and roll, and there should be a law that every library in America should have a copy of this available to the public, and it should be mandatory viewing for all high school students.
		Imagine a film of many of the best rock and pop acts of the 1960s performing at or near their peak smack in the middle of 1967's fabled Summer Of Love.
		"Monterey Pop" should be required viewing--far more than "Woodstock", that's for sure--for anyone interested in what the 60s was really all about.
