The Complete Monterey Pop Festival
(1967) 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. With his characteristic verite style, D.A.
Pennebaker captured it all, immortalizing those moments that have become legend:
Pete Townshend destroying his guitar; Jimi Hendrix burning his. The Criterion
Collection will present the most comprehensive document of the Monterey
International Pop Festival ever produced, featuring all three films of the
Festival -- "Monterey Pop," "Jimi Plays Monterey" and "Shake! Otis at Monterey"
-- along with nearly every complete performance filmed by Pennebaker and his
crew.
The Criterion Collection's three-DVD release of The
Complete Monterey Pop Festival will feature almost two hours of rarely seen
outtakes. Among the performances are The Association: "Along Comes Mary";
Country Joe & the Fish: "Not So Sweet Martha Lorraine"; Al Kooper: "(I Heard Her
Say) Wake Me, Shake Me"; The Butterfield Blues Band: "Our Love is Driftin'";
Electric Flag: "Drinkin' Wine"; The Byrds: "Chimes of Freedom," "He Was a Friend
of Mine" and "Hey Joe"; Laura Nyro: "Wedding Bell Blues" and "Poverty Train";
The Jefferson Airplane: "Somebody to Love"; The Blues Project: "The Flute
Thing"; The Who: "Substitute," "Summertime Blues," and "A Quick One While He's
Away"; The Mamas & the Papas: "Straight Shooter," "Somebody Groovy," "I Call
Your Name," "Monday, Monday" and "Dancing in the Street."
Commentary by festival producer Lou Adler and D.A.
Pennebaker.
