Monterey Pop

CriticsCritics: 87
AudienceAudience: 8.0

This concert film captures music and festival life from a landmark 1967 California gathering, featuring performances by major 1960s artists alongside scenes of the audience and counterculture atmosphere. Highlights include soulful singing, Indian classical music, energetic rock sets, and a memorable guitar-burning finale.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like historic concert films, 1960s rock, and candid festival atmosphere; Not for you if you want every act represented or consistently polished performances like Woodstock.
