![The Complete Monterey Pop Festival (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray]](https://images.bolo.ae/I/71MI0JMKGdL._SL1500_.jpg)
Description:
On a beautiful June weekend in 1967, at the beginning of the Summer of Love, the Monterey International Pop Festival roared forward, capturing a decade’s spirit and ushering in a new era of rock and roll. Monterey featured career-making performances by Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Otis Redding, but they were just a few of the performers in a wildly diverse lineup that also included Simon and Garfunkel, the Mamas and the Papas, the Who, the Byrds, Hugh Masekela, and the extraordinary Ravi Shankar. With his characteristic vérité style—and a camera crew that included the likes of Albert Maysles and Richard Leacock—D. A. Pennebaker captured it all, immortalizing moments that have become legend: Pete Townshend smashing his guitar, Jimi Hendrix burning his, Mama Cass watching Janis Joplin’s performance in awe. The Criterion Collection is proud to present the most comprehensive document of the Monterey Pop Festival ever produced, featuring the films Monterey Pop, Jimi Plays Monterey, and Shake! Otis at Monterey, along with every available complete performance filmed by Pennebaker and his crew and additional rare outtakes.

5.0 out of 5 stars This DVD Belongs In A Time Capsule
If you love 60's music............you MUST have this!!First, you get the original Monterey Pop film, remastered. I am fairly certain everyone here has seen it..............it's only about an hour and ten minutes long, but just Janis doing Ball And Chain would be quite enough. But I'm just getting started. You get Hendrix and Otis Redding's entire performances in this package. I already had them both, but if you don't............where ya been?Then we come to the expanded Monterey Pop disc, two hours of never before released footage from the Festival. I'm spellbound by this, and have watched it once a week for the last several weeks. It opens with a great vocal group that I'd completely forgotten about, The Association, doing a stunning Along Comes Mary. Then a two song segment that absolutely melts me and brings tears to my eyes every time I see it: Simon and Garfunkel, so impossibly young and in their prime, do deliciously beautiful renditions of Homeward Bound and Sounds Of Silence. This is nothing short of classical music folks; it'll be played 100 years from now.As if that weren't quite enough: The Byrds do three tunes, including a most stunning Chimes Of Freedom (Dylan), He Was A Friend Of Mine (very political tune about President Kennedy), and a rockin' Hey Joe. This DVD would be worth the price just to hear Crosby and McGuinn's twin guitars and harmonies almost 50 years after the fact. Then you get Buffalo Springfield (For What It's Worth), Crosby subbing for a recently departed Neil Young. You get Electric Flag featuring Michael Bloomfield on guitar, some jumpin' upbeat blues, Drinkin' Wine. Then there's the great Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Elvin Bishop on guitar, without a doubt one of the most influential 60's blues outfits doing Driftin' Blues. Janis w/ Big Brother get another tune, this time Combination Of The Two, from Cheap Thrills, very fun R&B tune. The Mamas and The Papas get an entire set..............yeah, no less than six tunes! The Who get three tunes.............remember this is pre-Tommy. Powerful stuff, as anyone would expect. Throw in a Jefferson Airplane tune, Somebody To Love...........damn, talk about a righteous 60's feeling.If I were trapped on a desert island, had a DVD player and a TV and only two DVD's............I think it would have to be this one and Woodstock. But remember, Monterey Pop by D.A. Pennebaker is the one that started the whole rock Festival film thing..............it was the first. And with this expanded version, it's every bit right up there with Woodstock. Priceless just to have video documentation of this groundbreaking Festival from 1967. And what they've done with the sound is just phenomenal.
5.0 out of 5 stars All you could ask for...
Filmed at California's Monterey festival in mid 1967 at which most of the new San Francisco bands performed, "Monterey Pop" captured the feel of the artists and, equally importantly, the audience at an event that catapulted the West Coast onto the international stage. Problem was that for various reasons, including poor playing & camera-work, a large number of these bands never made it into the released version leaving much of the film dominated by the more established & "professional" UK & US groups such as the Who, Eric Burdon & the Animals, the Mamas & Papas and Jimi Hendrix. But... no matter, because the contributions from Jefferson Airplane (and their superb lightshow lifted straight from the San Francisco ballrooms), Country Joe & The Fish (whose rendition of "Section 43" is a near perfect insight into "hippiedom"), Big Brother & The Holding Company (featuring Janis Joplin at her peak) and Ravi Shankar provide one of the few visual records of the San Francisco music scene at the time.So, if you're interested in finding out what was happening see the original film. But if, like me, you already have it, or if you're just more curious, then this expanded 3 disc DVD edition is just about all you could ask for, and probably all you're ever going to get. Sure, the film quality on several of the additional sequences is poor but hey, you get a further two hours of performances - including Al Kooper, the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Quicksilver Messenger Service, the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield (with David Crosby & without Neil Young), the Association, Laura Nyro and Electric Flag, none of who were included in the original film, and... additional numbers from artists who made it into the original, including Country Joe & the Fish, Jefferson Airplane, Simon & Garfunkle, Big Brother & the Holding Company, the Who and the Mamas & Papas. Plus... a further hour featuring the full sets from Jimi Hendrix (simply electric!) and Otis Redding.In amongst what totals over four hours of music, you get much good and some bad - this was 1967 and many of these groups were still finding their way - but as a comprehensive insight into both the festival and the mid 60's "underground" scene it's unbeatable. And... to top it all, the comprehensive booklet included in this boxed set includes several lengthy reviews of the event, and the background to it, that put it all into context. Wonderful stuff...
4.0 out of 5 stars This Is Not A 4K Remastered Movie
This concert has been remastered to a 1080P Blu Ray release and NOT 4K as some of the reviews have said.The video quality is not that bad. You do see the graininess of the original recording and it is not full screen HD. It is a 4x3 ratio which is the way that it was recorded.The audio for the concert has been remastered to DTS-HD which is excellent. The accompanied disks are Stereo.For what is included with purchase, I wish it would have been the full concert on 1 DVD. Most entertainers perform 1 song and the big names perform a couple. There is a second disk for Jimi Hendrix which has him playing 5 songs, but this set is not part of the main movie and the main movie has Jimi playing a song that is not on the 2nd DVD. The audio quality of Jimi ( and everyone else) is outstanding.This concert was for several days and there should have been a disk for each day. The 2nd and 3rd disk should have been part of the 1st DVD. There is way more to this concert than what was presented here.Packaging is very well put together.
