Monterey Pop: 40 Years Ago - 2007 - 6/10
Certainly not the best experience of this legendary festival.
For that, go to the concert doc by Pennebaker, especially the bonus material.
Historical background – “Berkeley In The Sixties” (1990).
The bloom, and demise, of the flower – “Summer Of Love” (2003).
Nonetheless, this is a good overview, with background, bits of performances, and the aftermath.
Some of the footage was new to me, meaning there is probably still “stuff” in the vaults.
Woodstock overshadowed this, but Monterey is a joy to watch and a capsule of a slice of time.
