Leave your thoughts about Shake! Otis at Monterey.
| User ReviewJeff DIn just a brief 5 song set, Otis Redding shows off what makes him one of soul music's greatest legends. |
| User ReviewBrandon HThis is all TOO short, but man it's great! If he had lived, Otis would have left Michael Jackson in the dust and far behind. In my opinion, he still does. |
| User ReviewPavandeep SOtis Redding is a badass and that is all to it. No one can repeat sentences for a whole day and still make it sound so groovy. |
| User ReviewSean GAnother great taken way before their time. If you get the deluxe Monterey Pop Festival box set, this is included on the same disc as Jimi Hendrix. |
| User ReviewRussell Gin the criterion release this film is coupled with jimi hendrixs performance at monterey. while hendrix is virtuosic and an incredible entertainer, otis reddings performance has the soul and energy that jimi lacked. i realize that may sound like heresy, but reddings attitude shines so much more than jimis does. he was a great entertainer and was less tied to the free love culture of the time. wish it could have been longer. |
| User ReviewMartin TRedding is one of my favorite artists at the whole show, and it's a shame they gave him a mere 17 minutes. His performance is dynamite, and there's none of that pointless intro nonsense. But Pennebaker does fuck up in one crucial way. When "Try a Little Tenderness", one of Redding's signature songs, starts up the director picks that moment to cut away and show us a goddamn 3-minute montage of festival attendees (usually in relation to the lyrics... weary women, people being tender). We only get to see Otis again during the final minute of the song. So fucking stupid. |
