Saturday Sounds - The Monterey Pop Festival 1967

This week's musical treat is a video compiling performances from 1967's Monterey Pop Festival. It's been a while since I've seen the movie so I can't be sure of this, but I think these are probably outtakes; if this list is correct, none of the performances here are from the released version of the movie

What is included here is:

• 0:00 The Association (intro)
• 1:02 The Asssociation - Along Comes Mary
• 3:50 Simon & Garfunkel - Homeward Bound (introduced by John Phillips)
• 6:46 Simon & Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence
• 10:02 Country Joe and the Fish - Not So Sweet Martha Lorraine
• 15:24 Al Kooper - Wake Me, Shake Me (featuring Elvin Bishop)
• 22:52 Paul Butterfield Blues Band - Driftin' Blues
• 27:37 Quicksilver Messenger Service - Dino's Song
• 30:55 The Electric Flag - Wine
• 33:45 The Byrds - Chimes of Freedom
• 37:16 The Byrds - He Was A Friend of Mine
• 40:07 The Byrds - Hey Joe (Where You Gonna Go)
• 42:30 Laura Nyro - Wedding Bell Blues
• 43:43 Laura Nyro - Poverty Train
• 48:00 Jefferson Airplane - Somebody To Love
• 51:59 The Blues Project -  Flute Thing (inroduced by Paul Simon)
• 1:03:12 Big Brother and the Holding Company - Combination of the Two
• 1:09:34 Buffalo Springfield – For What It's Worth (introduced by Peter Tork at 1:09:05)
• 1:12:03 The Who - Substitute
• 1:15:50 The Who - Summertime Blues
• 1:19:21 The Who - A Quick One, While He's Away
• 1:26:03 The Mamas & The Papas - Straight Shooter
• 1:29:48 The Mamas & The Papas - Somebody Groovy
• 1:33:49 The Mamas & The Papas - I Call Your Name 
• 1:38:27 The Mamas & The Papas - Monday, Monday
• 1:42:30 Scott McKenzie - San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)
• 1:46:59 The Mamas & The Papas - Dancing in the Street

It really is an amazing list and includes several of my favourite bands and performers. I was especially excited to see Laura Nyro's performance of "Poverty Train", which completely destroyed me when I saw her perform it in Detroit a few years later.

Light up a fat one, turn down the lights, and enjoy.
