	Monterey Pop Festival at AllExperts
		Monterey was the first major rock festival in the world and became the model for future festivals, notably Woodstock -- although unlike Woodstock it was not a profit-making venture and Montereys' various audio and visual products still earn income for the non-profit Monterey Festival foundation.
		The festival was the subject of an acclaimed documentary movie entitled Monterey Pop by D.
		Monterey Pop was a seminal event: it was the first real rock festival ever held, featuring debut performances of bands that would shape the history of rock and affect popular culture from that day forward.

		Monterey Pop turned out to be the root of every rock festival to come, most notably Woodstock and Live Aid, but for different reasons.
		Monterey was different from all of the other rock gatherings because "the seekers at Monterey had assembled not for a freak out but for a tune in - the first international pop festival." (1) Twenty-five hours of music in two and a half days brought over 50,000 people together.
		Monterey was a pop festival, not a battle of bands, which was something the Who and Hendrix had going between themselves.

	Monterey Pop Festival - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Held at the Monterey County Fairgrounds in Monterey, California, the festival was planned by record producer Lou Adler, singers Michelle Phillips and John Phillips of The Mamas and the Papas, producer Alan Pariser, and publicist Derek Taylor.
		Its sister event, the Newport Folk Festival, was an annual fixture for the folk movement during the early Sixites, until it was poleaxed by Bob Dylan's watershed electric performance in 1965.
		Monterey was also the first high-profile event to mix acts from major regional music centres in the U.S.A. San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Memphis and New York City -- and it was the first time many of these bands had met each other in person.

	Monterey Pop Festival
		A festival of this size was unheard of -- never before in rock history had so many musicians performed together at the same event, and combining the genres of soul, folk, rock and psychedelic rock was unprecedented.
		Monterey Pop was the embodiment of the 1960s hippie and flower-child movement.
		Revenues from Monterey Pop '67 were donated to various causes championed by the organizers and musicians, such as the LA Free Clinic, the LA Children's Museum, the UCLA Children's Hospital.

	Metroactive Music \| Monterey Pop Festival
		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.

	Rockument Radio - Cross-Currents - Monterey Pop Songs
		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.

		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.

	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 DVD Journal \| Reviews : The Complete Monterey Pop Festival
		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.
		The Festival's massive original program is a fascinating full-color time capsule, so we get it in a click-through page-by-page facsimile of its photos, artwork, and essays written by some of the Festival's organizers and participants, even Leonard Bernstein on the worthiness of pop as a musical form.

		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.

		Trivia: It was revealed several years later that Cream was going to be invited to perform at the festival, but their manager refused and didn't tell the band for several years.
		Monterey Pop, in comparison to Woodstock, does indeed have a distant feel and, overall, lacks that film's spit and polish.
		Even though Monterey Pop has a garage rock feel, it's not really about `garage rock' per se, which has its roots back to 50s.

	167 - The Complete Monterey Pop Festival - The Criterion Collection Forum
		On a beautiful June weekend in 1967, at the height of the Summer of Love, the first and only Monterey International Pop Festival roared forward——capturing a decade’s spirit and ushering in a new era of rock and roll.
		Monterey would launch the careers of Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Otis Redding, but they were just a few among a wildly diverse cast including Simon and Garfunkel, The Mamas and the Papas, The Who, The Byrds, Hugh Masekela, and the extraordinary Ravi Shankar.
		the original...monterey pop film still holds up well....the end of the film with ravi shankar wowing the crowds actually still brings tears to my eyes when you see the collection of stars sitting near the front jump up in riotous drug filled excited applause at the close of his set....beautiful.

		Laura Nyro, who supposedly bombed at Monterey, is given two outtake songs, but it's interesting to discover that she was quite captivating.
		And if you also own the Monterey Pop complete CD boxed set, you will know that the Electric Flag was introduced as the greatest band in the world, considered a top act at the time.
		The whole festival was for charity, as we also learn from the supplementary interviews, and the artists therefore had to sign waivers releasing the rights to their performances.

	Complete Monterey Pop Festival - DVD Movie Central
		In its day, it was the first rock festival of its kind, then it became the first live concert movie in Monterey Pop.
		The Monterey Pop film’s only real drawback is that it only showcases one song per artist (but as mentioned, that’s easily remedied by the other inclusions in this set!).
		The Complete Monterey Pop Festival is not only far and away the best DVD release of the year, but very possibly the best DVD ever put on the market.

		Criterion has given me a chance to stand corrected, the Monterey Pop Festival was indeed THE music festival.
		I'm not saying Woodstock was bad, it was very good, but Monterey came first and has some of the most memorable music moments in history.
		Also included on the discs are numerous commentaries from Pennebaker and producer Lou Adler on the festival, music critic and historian Sharr Murray on Jimi Plays Monterey, and TWO commentaries on Otis Redding's performance.

		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.
		Given the large number of great bands and performers at the festival, many reviewers have speculated about why some footage was included and some bands entirely skipped over.

		With the theatrical release of this multimedia document garnering national success for this pop festival, a youth movement was born.
		While Pennebaker describes at length the difficulty of the shoot and the painstaking process of cutting and building his film, Monterey Pop would ultimately set a style and standard for all festival films (Woodstock, Concert for Bangladesh, The Last Waltz, et al) to follow.
		The popularity of the festival was ultimately a mixed blessing for him in that, even though he evolved and changed as an artist over the succeeding years, many in his audience wanted him to continue to replicate the wild night at Monterey.

		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.
