		Monterey was a pop festival, not a battle of bands, which was something the Who and Hendrix had going between themselves.

		The Monterey Pop Festival was a breakthrough event for the Jefferson Airplane, which became nationally known thanks to its performance there, but what Casady recalls best is the music itself, especially sets by Redding and Ravi Shankar.
		Monterey Pop is a classic of the genre, mainly because the performances were so spectacular.
		Some of these tours are extremely enjoyable, but Monterey Pop Festival remains the seminal pop festival, the single moment in time when the zeitgeist of America changed, and the change was captured on film.

		Monterey was peace and love at the beginning, Gimme Shelter is death and destruction at the end.
		Monterey Pop would be fine if it was just an ordinary concert, but the Monterey Festival also housed some famous actual performances.
		Monterey Pop is a simple documentary, so it won’t win any awards for innovative cinematography (although the light background trick for the Otis Redding set was really a neat idea)… but the movie(s) look fine and probably the best they ever have.

		Monterey Pop, the film by D.A. Pennebaker, is one of the 10 best rockumentaries of all time and a pivotal moment in the history of rock music.
		The purpose of this show is to highlight the pop songs of that period and point you to CDs that contain the released versions, which were playing on the radio and in people's heads as they arrived and departed Monterey.
		They played this song at Monterey Pop, which was the duo's most sugar-sweet pop song at that time, rather uncharacteristic of their usual songs of melancholy and anger.

		Monterey Pop was originally intended for television, but the content of the film (however tame it might seem now) prevented that, so the film was eventually shown in cinemas, as were the film versions of Woodstock and Altamont.
		Monterey Pop, the shortest of the three feature films, spends some time behind the scenes, a little while with members of the audience, but concentrates on the events on stage.
		Monterey Pop was remastered from the original 16mm A and B rolls, Jimi Plays Monterey and Shake from 35mm dupe negatives.

	DVD Savant Review: The Complete Monterey Pop Festival
		The Monterey International Pop Festival was three nights that marked a real change in pop, away from solo performers and folk oriented music, to album based rock groups.
		A number of the performances at the 1967 Monterey International Pop Festival are recorded, along with the audience reaction, and a few glimpses of behind-the-scenes activity.
		Almost completely free of the overpowering hype that has strangled pop music ever since the advent of MTV, Monterey Pop is a partly improvised attempt to record the length and breadth of the whole three days of concerts.

		The Monterey International Pop Festival, the three-day event staged in 1967 that has become one of rock music's most famous and in some ways greatest concerts, gets the royal treatment with this three-disc boxed set.
		Monterey Pop, D.A. Pennebaker's 79-minute, 1968 film, effectively sets the scene for the festival, which took place during the fabled "Summer of Love," when the hippie ethos was in its fullest flower, especially on the West Coast.

	The Complete Monterey Pop Festival: Criterion (1968)
		Monterey Pop appears in an aspect ratio of 1.33:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; due to those dimensions, the image has not been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
		Monterey Pop boasts both Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1 soundtracks in addition to the original stereo mix.
		As one might expect from a concert presentation, Pop featured an emphasis on the forward channels, and an emphasis on vocals made the soundfield seem fairly centered much of the time.

		And then pop, well, I can't tell the difference between any of the groups or the songs, every single one of those Britney Spears or Backstreet Boys types offering the same beats, same lyrics and same messages, only with a note and word moved around or replaced.
		It wasn't the biggest festival, or the most popular one (Woodstock would probably hold the title for both) but it is the first of it's kind and while now it may seem like nothing, at the time is was something new and amazing.
		Monterey Pop is D.A. Pennebaker effort on chronicling the music festival that actually solidified that rock music was not a soulless moneymaker and actually captured the spirit of an era (and who knows, maybe if Britney Spears and N'Sync and the rest all get together at a music festival, the same thing might occur).

		Back when the Monterey International Pop Festival brought together an era-defining confluence of rock, blues, soul, ballads, psychedelia, and jazz that spoke for a generation in ways that scared hell out of the old folks.
		Monterey is, though, best remembered for the new talent it introduced, breakout performers who would soon shape rock music for generations afterward.
		Criterion's The Complete Monterey Pop is not just a beautifully produced record of an event important when viewed through the lenses of popular music, cultural history, and simple nostagia.

	DVD Breakdown \| The Complete Monterey Pop Festival (1967)
		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.
		The only caveat for The Complete Monterey Pop Festival is the release's appeal, which is bound to be rather limited in nature due to the subject matter.
		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.

		"It Happened in Monterey" - The author, Elaine Mayes, one of the official photographers of the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival in California, has beautifully captured the moments in her candid shots of both performers and audience.
		Elaine Mayes concurs that the Monterey Pop Festival became the prototype for similar events to come, such as New York's infamous Woodstock Festival of 1969.
		The Monterey Pop Festival was held at the height of the "hippie" movement, where music, fashion and social conscience seemed inseparable.

	'Monterey Pop' DVD captures memories
		NEW YORK--In the hit song ''Monterey''--commemorating the landmark Monterey Pop Festival of June 16-18, 1967, in northern California--Eric Burdon and the Animals sang the lyrics: ''Young gods smiled upon the crowd/Their music being born of love/Children danced night and day/Religion was being born/Down in Monterey.''
		These memories also are reflected in director D.A. Pennebaker's 1968 documentary ''Monterey Pop,'' now being issued for the first time as a three-disc DVD set by the Criterion Collection.
		''Monterey Pop''--considered by a range of film buffs, rock historians and music fans to be one of the greatest rock movies ever--is a 79-minute program featuring career-defining performances by Jimi Hendrix, Otis Redding, the Who, Big Brother and the Holding Co. with Janis Joplin, and Ravi Shankar.

		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.
		Funds were raised for the concert, the site was established, and the idea that the proceeds were to go to charity was born.
		The first major music festival was held on June 16, 17 and 18, 1967 at the Monterey County Fairgrounds in Monterey, California.

		Otis At Monterey and a two-hour plus outtakes disc, Criterion’s package finally gives viewers an accurate look at what Pennebaker saw on June 16, 17 and 18th, 1967—79 minutes was never going to be enough to take all of this in.
		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 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.

	Monterey Pop
		The songs themselves form the centrepiece of the film; band after band of '60s pop icons follow one after the other, shot with hand-held cameras, often in close-up to capture the rapturous intensity of live performance.
		Monterey Pop, on the other hand, offers us almost nothing of the backstage 'reality' of the performers on stage.
		When Hendrix humps his amplifier (and yes, it looks as silly as it sounds), or makes love to his guitar and then sets it on fire and smashes it to pieces, we've seen it imitated and recycled so many times by so many bands that the originality of the moment is lost.

	Monterey Pop: The Film (1967) : Directed by D.A. Pennebaker, reviewed by Nick Burton (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The 1969 Woodstock festival may be viewed as an ephemeral triumph of hippie idealism, but, as this wonderful documentary by D.A. Pennebaker shows, the Monterey International Pop Festival of 1967 was a far more significant musical event than Woodstock.
		The range of talent here is indeed diverse, so much so that some of the acts seem out of place: Simon and Garfunkel, as good as they were, look geeky beyond belief in their groovy turtle necks and medallions, and Country Joe and the Fish come off as psychedelic muzak.
		There are fine performances by Jefferson Airplane (with Grace Slick playing an electric harpsichord on the lovely "Today"), Janis Joplin singing Big Mama Thorton's "Ball and Chain" like her life depended on it, and a stark, electric violin-driven version of the Stones' "Paint It Black" by Eric Burdon and the Animals.

	Monterey Pop Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Pennebaker, who'd gained critical acclaim for Don't Look Back, his cinema-verité account of Bob Dylan's 1965 English tour, was hired to film what was supposed to be an ABC TV special on the three-day Monterey event, the first rock festival of its kind.
		What's most apparent from watching Monterey Pop is precisely why those four out of the 32 acts broke through in such a big way that weekend.
		Otis at Monterey features two audio commentaries by music historian Peter Guralnick, one a song-by-song analysis of Redding's Monterey performance (including Guralnick's assertion that Redding altered his stage style for the consumption of a mostly white audience), the other a look at Redding's entire career.
