The opening night of the 3 day festival headlined by Simon & Garfunkel. Though they put on an exemplary set, the bands to come over the next 2 nights (specifically The Who, Airplane and Hendrix) would show that they were quickly being left behind. This night was more mellow overall all than the rest of the festival with all bands involved, except maybe Johnny Rivers lame version of “Memphis”, putting on fine sets. The Association’s 2 songs are very enjoyable once you get past their high schoolish approach to music. A definite highlight to this night is Eric Burdon & The Animals outstanding version of “Paint It Black” complete with violin intro.

The Saturday afternoon show begins with a fairly safe set from Canned Heat, a nice listen but nothing outstanding. Big Brother & The Holding Company play both Saturday afternoon and Sunday night. Most gig guides list the bulk of the show available coming from Saturday afternoon, therefore the majority of their set is sequenced here. There is one other song available, a second version of “Combination of Two” and it can found on the Sunday night portion of this collection. Big Brother’s show is up to their usual high standards of playing, great stuff. Country Joe sounds very dated on their usual political banter, however, their set does now includes the instrumental “Section 43”. Not previously available until the release of the “Complete Monterey Pop DVD” it proves that politics aside they could play some good music. Al Kooper’s set is documented with one outstanding song now available due to the release of the ”Complete Monterey Pop DVD” set. As with Big Brother, Butterfield Blues Band play both Saturday afternoon and Sunday night. All available songs are sequenced here and it is unknown which songs are from which set. It is a very enjoyable blues tinged set of covers. We now have one song available from Quicksilver Messenger Service due to the DVD set release, it is an excellent song and I would love to someday get my hands on their entire set. Steve Miller is up next with an adequate, and average, blues followed by another highlight, the unusual Jazz influenced rock of The Electric Flag. There seems to be little in the way of live Electric Flag available, though they played the Fillmore West on numerous occasions, and it is nice to have these 3 songs available.

16. Try A Little Tenderness
Saturday night opens with a solid set from Moby Grape, not their best performance ever but not the worst I’ve ever heard from them either. Hugh Masekela is next with a very dull “Healing Song”. The Byrds at the time were being touted as America’s answer to The Beatles. Their lackluster set shows that at least on this night this was not the case. It is an average and rather boring set for a great Rock & Folk band. I’m not even sure why Laura Nyro was there, she really did not fit the mix of artists playing on Saturday Night and would have found a better home on Friday night. Her 3 songs really don’t do much for me but I am not familiar with her music so it’s not really my place to judge the performance. With the exception of Moby Grape (because I’m a big fan) this is my least favorite disc of the festival. Disc five is like night and day to disc four in my opinion, opening with an excellent set from Jefferson Airplane they prove that they could live up to all the press and publicity surrounding them at the time. Their sound was changing at the time to a harder Rock edge and less Folky edge, the performance is wonderful to my ears, it is taken from the Thunder Bolt import disc rather than the Monterey Bootleg as the sound on the import is fuller and a little less shrill. Booker T does their usual high standard of performance as well as doing one song with the Mar-Keys and then we have what I find is another highlight of the entire festival. Otis Redding’s set is powerful and very tight, one of those great moments in Rock and Roll history.

DISC SIX
Sunday afternoon, 6/18/67
RAVI SHANKAR
1. Raga Bhimpalasi
2. Tabla Solo In Ektal
3. Dhun (Dadra and Fast Teental)
Sunday afternoon is about as mellow as it comes with only Ravi Shankar performing. Not really my cup of tea, this is pretty much pure music and like classical music, I very much respect it but don’t really understand it. Ravi’s complete performance is only available on the long out of print cd “Ravi Shankar at the Monterey International Pop Festival”.

Sunday night opens with a meandering “Flute Thing” from The Blues Project. Big Brother then put on another set which by all accounts wasn’t as tight as their first set. A second version of “Combination of Two” is featured here from the Complete Monterey DVD set but it is unknown if this is from Saturday or Sunday’s performance. Buffalo Springfield are next with a relatively unexciting set, then things really start to heat up with The Who. They put on an exciting set of pure destruction, the Monterey crowd didn’t know what hit them.

INTERVIEWS
Sunday night continues with two more excellent sets, first we get two tight songs from the Dead. A very good listen, there is one more song that has been listed as from this show showing up on some bootlegs. It is unconfirmed from this show and most collector’s do not consider it from this show, it is therefore not included with their set. Jimi Hendrix is up next with another highlight to the entire festival. Probably one of the most heard and written about sets of the entire 3 days, this was Jimi’s debut US performance and he did not disappoint. Disc nine ends the set and festival with Scott McKenzie’s Monterey Anthem “San Francisco” followed by an uneven closing set from The Mamas & The Papas.
