Monterey Pop
Do you know where your kids are hanging out tonight?
Directed by D. A. Pennebaker
Produced by John Phillips-Lou Adler, Leacock-Pennebaker
A vibrant, energetic documentary capturing the spirit and performances of a defining 1960s music festival, celebrating youth culture and artistic expression.
Featuring performances by popular artists of the 1960s, this concert film highlights the music of the 1967 California festival. Although not all musicians who performed at the Monterey Pop Festival are on film, some of the notable acts include the Mamas and the Papas, Simon & Garfunkel, Jefferson Airplane, the Who, Otis Redding, and the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Hendrix's post-performance antics -- lighting a guitar on fire, breaking it and tossing a part into the audience -- are captured.
