The Complete Monterey Pop Festival (Blu-ray Disc, 2009, 2-Disc Set, Criterion Collection)

I wish even more performances had been preserved

As a documentary, the feature movie is rather bare. However, as a collection of performances, it is a wonderful time-tunnel trip with miraculously re-engineered sound that can be cranked up without fear. I hope you have a subwoofer to give it that live-concert feel :)

In addition, the "outtakes" practically double the size of the collection; clicking "play all" is like running a second movie. And the other special features (video, stills and text) provide the history not narrated into the feature documentary. Taken all together, this is the next best thing to buying a time machine.

Now if we could just get some "outtakes" of the acts that are still missing...Read full review

Nice film footage, but certainly not enough of a three day festival.

I would like to think that the entire three day festival was filmed. The film footage shown of each performer was good, but certainly not enough. I wish that a series of videos had been released showing almost the entire show given by each performer. Read full review

Pop goes the pop.

Quality updated performances from a first if it's kind venue. Major format problem regarding access to the outtake performances. There is no tab for the outtakes. You have to go to a 2nd screen, pick fifth from a list of six, titled supplements. Huh? This is the single biggest portion of Monterey Pops and it's buried without a written tab on another page under Supplements? Shame on the formaters.Read full review

Amazing Set!

I'm very pleased with my boxed set but the only thing I was not happy with is that The Paul Butterfield blues band was not on the outtakes like the box said it was other than that it's a fantastic set and well worth the moneyRead full review
