Product Overviews

Jimi Hendrix and Otis Redding arrived in California virtually unknown. Returning stateside from London, where he had moved to launch his musical career, Hendrix exploded at Monterey, flooring an unsuspecting audience with his maniacal six-string pyrotechnics. Redding, venerable star of Memphis' Stax record label, seduced the "love crowd" in one of his best-- and last-- performances. Jimi Plays Monterey and Shake! Otis at Monterey feature the entire Monterey sets of these legendary musicians, performances that have entered rock and roll mythology.

Special Features:
* High-Definition Digital Transfers
* Soundtrack - 5.1 Mixes by legendary recording Engineer Eddie Kramer * Audio Commentaries by Charles Shaar Murray and Peter Guralnick
* Excerpt from an interview with Pete Townshend
* Interview with Phil Walden
* Trailer
* An Essay by Music Critic David Fricke

Jimi Plays Monterey & Shake! Otis At Monterey- (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] Reviews By Customers

After giving this with a blue ray player to my dad for christmas i found that he already had 2 different versions of this on regular dvd, we watched it on blueray and it had much better detail but was still fuzzy as it is a really old recording. My dad loves classic rock concerts and he loves this dvd, although i do not know if he really needed 3 copies of it...
