the match that started the fire that was the hippie movement

With the extended tracks, this is NOT to be missed. FINALLY we get to see the great Quicksilver Messenger Service, Buffalo Springfield, the Entire Who performance, the Entire Hendrix performance, the Entire Otis Redding performance. This was the greatest 3 days of rock and roll and was the birth of the San Fracisco Sound. Love it or hate it. There is no in between. See magic and mysticism. Buy or rent this movie. In-friggen'-credible!

Country Joe and the Fish get an extra song, many backstage and people footage, see Hendrix walking with Brian Jones. Everyone was on the Bear acid, purple gel-tabs and God himself was present.

Even the sell-outs, The mamas and The Papas put on an impressive show. If You Go To San Francisco Be Sure To Wear Some Flowers In Your Hair was written for Scott McKenzie after Papa John Phillips witnessed the magic that was happening.

Don't miss the extended version of the Monteray Pop festival. The weekend rock and roll reached puberty!

score 10/10
