Monterey Pop (1968)

Early concert film about the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival. The film has some great footage of the likes of Ottis Redding, Hugh Masekla, Jefferson Airplane, and The Who. One thing I really liked about the film is its periodic crowd shots of legendary artistes watching other legendary artists, like Mama Cass watching Janis Joplin, or Jimi Hendrix listening to Ravi Shankar. I'm not a big concert film guy, but thought this was a great time capsule. ***
