whats your favroite of the 4 "major" rock concert films? ive only seen woodstock, so i cant comment. but im very interested in your comments!
I like Woodstock, Monterey (where I live!), and the Who at the Isle of Wight. I didn't like Gimme Shelter. All the violence and stopping every 30 seconds to tell people to be quiet got old very quickly.
I've never seen Gimme Shelter.. I take it thats a Rolling Stones movie? Out of the other 3 I like Woodstock the best.
fave live rock movie - Live at Pompeii second would be the Rolling Stones Rock N Roll Circus I like gimmie shelter, seeing airplane react to marty balin being punched is a wild scene! Woodstock is great, as much a portrait of a movement as a music movie Isle of Wight has some tense moments, but overall is good Monterey Pop is always amazing to see, with Jimi smashing and Janis wailing so well good flicks all
only seen Woodstock, so mine would have to be that. I'd love to see both Monterey and Altamount(Gimmee Shelter) but the dvds have not been released on region 2 dvds.
Monterey was the mother of all pop festivals!. I haven't seen the D.A. Pennbaker film but have heard the whole soundtrack. I believe that 'The Grateful Dead' did not give permission for their performance to be included in the film.Hence their omission. Oddly missing were two bands: 'Love' & 'The Doors'. It is rumoured but not confirmed both bands fell out big-time with co-organiser: Lou Adler .(Who incidentially 'turned down' 'The Doors' for a recording contract) .
