The Monterey Pop Festival (Monterey Pop / Jimi Plays Monterey / Shake! Otis at Monterey)
: essential video:The first great rock concert documentary by the filmmaker who invented the form. D.A. Pennebaker (who teamed up with Richard Leacock, Albert Maysles, and other filmmakers here), fresh off his Bob Dylan documentary, Don't Look Back, captured the music and scene of the first real rock & roll festival. The Monterey Pop Festival of 1967, which laid the groundwork for Woodstock two years later, offered an amazing array of talent that was absolutely of that moment. And, as the intervening years have shown, ...

Jimi Plays Monterey
: :One of the most startling, exciting live performances in rock history is presented here in all its glory. The Jimi Hendrix Experience were already making a name for themselves in England but were little known in the States when they appeared at Monterey in June 1967; that all changed after this gig, which saw Hendrix and his trio play an electrifying mix of originals ('Purple Haze,' 'Foxy Lady,' 'The Wind Cries Mary') and covers ('Hey Joe,' 'Like a Rolling Stone,' and the climactic 'Wild Thing,' ...

Nine Hundred Nights - The Story of Big Brother and the Holding Company with Janis Joplin
: :This document, devoted to the two-plus years ('66-'68) that Janis Joplin spent as a member of San Francisco's Big Brother and the Holding Company, offers ample material to support the view that Joplin, who died in 1970 at age 27, was a great singer and an enduring inspiration. On the other hand, it probably won't dissuade those who agree with Pete Townshend of the Who (one of the stars of the '67 Monterey Pop Festival, along with Joplin and Jimi Hendrix), who has called her ...

Casey Kasem's Rock n' Roll Goldmine - The San Francisco Sound
: :One of rock music's golden eras is spotlighted in The San Francisco Sound, which features some of the artists who emerged from the Bay Area in the mid-to-late 1960s. There's no arguing that various trappings of San Francisco culture at the time (the hippies and their flower power; the rampant consumption of LSD) now seem 'dated,' as host Casey Kasem puts it. But even if these performances aren't great from a purely audiovisual standpoint, there's a certain timeless appeal to songs like Van Morrison's 'Domino' ...
