Monterey Pop is somewhat a rarity among documentaries, one designed almost exclusively to entertain. There are one or two moments when the camera forgets about the performers who appeared at the Festival sponsored by John Phillips and concentrates on those gpeople who came to listen: the girl, from Champaign, Illinois, who thinks she’s lucky to be able to clean all the seats in the amphitheatre; the girl who feels the listeners had to put up with a lot of “bulls-t” from lesser groups in order to hear the top performers; the police chief who expects trobule from-the Hell’s Angles and wonders how the city is going to feed the expected crowd of 50 to 55 thousand.
