Still one of the most famous rock festivals of all time, Monterey Pop brought together much of the music that was striking chords with young people all over America- some of the talent that had been obscure or small time in the US (Otis Redding and Jimi Hendrix), while others were huge smash bands (The Who, Simon & Garfunkel, Mamas and the Papas), not to mention a breakthrough performance for Ravi Shankar. With this accompaniment to the feature film, which was released twenty years or so before this, Hendrix and the Experience brought their sound for the first time after being the cult favorites in the UK. It's not a long concert, but it can certainly be counted as one of his most notorious. 　　There were allegations, which perhaps could or could not be true (I haven't read any biographies about the concert, but I heard the rumors), that Hendrix was on acid during the set. Whatever he was on or wasn't on, the songs that come through (filmed with superb documentary detail by DA Pennebaker, with assistance from Albert Maysles) are none-the-less mesmerizing. Aside from what has been played over and over to show the insane magnitude of Hendrix (burning his guitar after a crazed rendition of "Wild Thing"), there's also a turn of "Like a Rolling Stone", "Hey Joe", and a beautiful bit with "The Wind Cries Mary". There could've been more in the way of interviews, but as it is, Jimi Plays Monterey is a fine little companion piece to the film.

这是一座奇异的小镇，它叫蒙特镇。 　　眉目传情的恋人，在窗口凝视对方的时候，还是春天。女孩青春靓丽，男孩英俊潇洒。女孩放飞的小鸟寄去了她对男人的思念。男孩接过卡片，上面画着一只红艳艳的玫瑰。男孩下定决心，要为自己心爱的人建造一所玫瑰城堡。然而这短短的一次交汇，却沦入一场要耗尽一生才能追赶上的轮回。男孩兢兢业业地修建这所玫瑰城堡，却没有发现自己居住的房子与女孩越来越远。两人就好像钟表上的时针与分针，渐行渐远。春夏秋冬，多少个四季轮回。当男人终于建造完成这座玫瑰城堡的时候，两人都已两鬓斑白。然而爱是永无止境，就像慢慢合拢的时针与分针一样，总会相逢。
