Licensor Information
The Monterey International Pop Festival Foundation
Directed by: D.A. Pennebaker
Jimi Hendrix and Otis Redding arrived at California's Monterey International Pop Festival virtually unknown. Returning stateside from London, where he had moved to launch his musical career, Hendrix exploded onstage, flooring an unsuspecting audience with his maniacal six-string pyrotechnics. Redding, a venerable star of Memphis's Stax record label, seduced the "love crowd" in one of his best--and last-- shows. Jimi Plays Monterey and Shake! Otis at Monterey, acclaimed documentarian D. A. Pennebaker's Monterey Pop companion pieces, feature the entire sets by these legendary musicians, performances that have entered rock-and-roll mythology.

Release Notes on Restoration
Jimi Plays Monterey
Jimi Plays Monterey and Shake! Otis at Monterey are presented in their original theatrical aspect ratios of 1.33:1. These new high-definition digital transfers were created on a Spirit Datacine. For Jimi Plays Monterey and Shake! Otis at Monterey, the 35mm duplicate negatives were used. All transfers were supervised by director D.A. Pennebaker. The soundtracks were remixed by Eddie Kramer from the original analog 8-track tapes made at the concerts by Wally Heider and conformed to picture by Ted Hall at POP Sound. To further enhance the image, the MTI Digital Restoration System was used to remove thousands of instances of dirt, debris, and scratches. The soundtracks were mastered at 24-bit: audio restoration tools were used sparingly to reduce clicks, pops, hiss, and some crackle.
