Canned Heat & Jefferson Airplane in Monterey Pop Festival, CA 🇺🇸 (1967) HD CLIP 

🍄

In the crowd somewhere is 22 year old me. I’m 75 years old now and seeing this video brings me right back. Great memories of a long gone era of wonderful music.

I'm 74 years old and was running sound here, it seems like yesterday. I cant even begin to explain the energy that was in the air and crowd. I feel very sorry for the younger generations that weren't around in those days, just can't even tell you how much fun we had and how different things were. Ive got a photo of grace and I being Goofy back stage at a show in '68, all the artists were great people.

Canned heat guys looked so neat, well-groomed, clean, and well dressed. 2 years later nobody could have believed they were the same of 2 years earlier at Woodstock.. fucking awesome blues power band

Blind Owl was a freaking master of guitar and harp. Sad that he died so young. RIP

I'm 68 years old and when i watch great bands like this it instantly takes me back in time and i feel high.

Dude canned heats bass player was tearing up that Precision bass

The Bass dude is a cold stone freak. Love it.

From 1:21 - 2:05, the interplay between Al "Blind Owl" Wilson's superb slide guitar work and the frenetic bass guitar playing of Larry "The Mole" Taylor is worth the price of admission.

Oh, how lucky were the people in the audience for this festival! This is just pure musical magic!

The legendary Al Wilson, ladies and gentlemen.

We used to regularly go see Monterey Pop at our local cinema ‘late night’ screenings & marvel at the fantastic performances the bands gave. The thought of visiting the States back then was an impossible dream for us North London teenagers, a dream only realised decades later when cheaper flights made it possible. On a road trip holiday there about three years ago I wanted to take in the Monterey Fairgrounds where the festival took place & was amazed / delighted that the place was still there, looking exactly the same as it did in the movie I’d seen so many times over the decades. I was even more amazed to be able to clamber up onto that famous stage & feel the presence of all those rock & soul legends who once graced it... it really was a thrill for me as a 67 year old pensioner to experience that magical feeling!

As the T shirt says my wife bought me : “I may be old but I got to see all the great bands”. Growing up as a teenager in Newport Beach in the’60’s was pretty cool. Never was an era like it, never has been since.

R.I.P. Blind Owl!

I was 10yrs old in '67, but was already turned on to all the great music of these bands, thanks to my Mom. It was a great time to grow up, in the 1960's.

How good is the Moles bass playing.. 👍🏼

Grace is now 82 years old bless her

When talent ruled the world of music

I was never much of canned heat fan but I’ve been watching many of they’re vids and they were much better than I thought. Thank you RU-vid for enlightening me.

Grace and Janis, two of my favorites from the 60's...Jefferson Airplane...there will never be another band like them.

Jefferson was on the top of their game.

Great to hear Canned Heat here...the Airplane were really up for this, listen to Grace, she goes for it.....wonderful!!!

Grace. What a voice. She rocks- power!!

The jefferson airplane harmonics are outstanding. Truly awesome.

I began to listen to Jefferson Airplane somewhere in 2009 when I was 19. It's still one of my favourite bands.

Grace's voice is amazing. And what a goddess !

I was 21 this year. Wow, and this still sounds great in 2019

Still stunning after 50 years. And thanks to Frank Cappa for posting it in the correct aspect ratio and high quality. This makes it much more enjoyable and respectful to the artists before and behind the camera.

Even performing a standard like this the style of Canned Heat is distinctive.

Canned Heat was,1 of the very best 1 of the very top blues bands of all time!!!!!!!

The vocal interplay of Grace, Marty and Paul is powerful and transcendent....

Alan Wilson was not only one of the founding members of Canned Heat, he was also the founding member of the 27 Club..God, what he could have contributed to the world of music!

I'm struck by how good the Jefferson Airplane vocals are. Grace had a lot of power but also great control. And the band was tight in general. Thanks for posting.

Larry Taylor is some thing else. I love how he gets in he music. Love to watch him play.

Omg I miss this era! We had such fun and really connected with love, life and music!

Rest in peace Larry "The Mole". You were one of the best.

I was somewhere in the crowd. 18 yr old and thought it was my last chance to go to a concert as my draft notice had come, physical done, report to Oakland on Nov. 15th. Off I went eventually to Vietnam.

one of the best real blues bands ever , even as times go by, the never get old

I was 14 years old then I did not know how lucky I was to experience all that good music and fantastic times the hash was better and then the ACID WOW

those late 60's were a real trippy time. indescribable. never will be a decade like it. wish i could get my hands on a little bit of quaaludes like i used to easily do beck in the day.

Canned Heat.....greatest festival band ever

damn canned heat, one of the really few bands who weren´t posing, but isntead fully into it and even more so later on. i absolutely liked their convincing energy and intensity

Canned Heat killed it!!!! Fantastic

Real music and talent, I long for bands like these again

Amazing! the bear and the owl looking a lil bit like some history teachers here hahaha

So that’s what all the talk about the legendary“Monterey” is about. Amazing performances.

73+ CANCER fighter who knows a good thing and that concert/festival on the orange sunshine express was a continuing trip of good time Charlie! Classic footage of a never forgotten time...PEACE!!!

HA ! The Summer Of Love. I was only 10 but I had a transistor radio with me all of the time. I remember it well.... Thanks for the memories.

Blind Owl plays a great slide solo and the camera man doesn't catch him once...what a shame...

This is a time when musicians were talented, thought provoking, and writing their own songs. Today's performers are nothing but that....performers.

we were young once then and proud of it

Being 70 now is not a bad thing. Not a bad thing. At all 🌸😎👍

I got to see Canned Heat for $3.00, at the Corral, in Topanga Canyon, late at night. I set a chair up in the front of the them, because the place was just about empty. Blind Owl had passed away years before, but I got to party with The Bear, his wife, and the rest of the band during their break. The were incredible musicians! I got to hear stereo lead guitar players on stage left and stage right. Un freakin’ real!!!

The innocence and creativity of that decade make me cry!

Mike Crichton somewhere in the crowd is 24 year-old me. I’m 79 years old and I got to see canned heat and got to sit in with Jefferson Airplane and Grace slick

Al Wilson was a true talent and yet is never mentioned as one of the '27 club'. I think that Zep borrowed a lot from Canned Heat (as they did from others) but it's more obvious when you listen to their more obscure stuff like the 'Boogie House Tapes'.

i was at Woodstock--TYA, Sly, Who and of course Jimi, we stayed and helped on the trash patrol--Yasgur pulled our car out of the mud with his tractor--love this mix!

The brilliance of the Blind Owl n' the Bear!

In that crowd is a 16 year old (me) along with my “surf bros” all of us from Monterey. Thank you for the memories! 8”

This video is brilliant , not just the fantastic bands , but the social history of the people in the crowds all tells a story of living in the sixties Nick 67 from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I did not attend any of the M. Pop festivals back then, but knew everyone on the stage there. I moved in January 1967 to San Francisco after graduating high school mid-term that year Sacramento. I was not really into music but was an Electronics nerd who already had 2 patents in electronics. Almost immediately word got around that that "there's a kid living on the cliff overlooking Ocean beach who can fix your guitar amplifiers on his kitchen table. Soon there was a steady stream of players, most of whom became or were rather well known. So that lead to designing sound systems and then taking over a failing recording studio and recording a lot of the album hits in the 70s and 80s. just under 200 gold or platinum albums. It was a fantastic environment, with the original hippies being the spiritual descendants of the Beats of the 50s, SF was unlike any other hot spots for the arts and alternative philosophies. The music community was concentrated in a rather small area since San Francisco is actually a lot smaller than its image, only 750,000 people yet very influential in the art and philosophy, political movements, lifestyle and sciences from the 1940s to present. I moved out of the US 20 years ago when it became everything we were fighting against in the late 60s. I seldom return but I do see some of the artists who are still touring, for example, every other year Jethro Tull so have a nice visit with Ian Anderson, or when Metalica was touring. My favorite band of that era was[is] The Grateful Dead. It was so nice to see the gang from Jefferson Airplane from that period. I recorded different versions , Airplane and Starship. Grace was alway a favorite person.

Perhaps someone has already mentioned this, but the Airplane's version of Today is gorgeous...unfortunately, the camera showed Grace mouthing the words. Marty wrote and sang that tune. Beautifully, it must be said.

Grace slicks stylistic singing was perfect!!! Her powerful voice, she was dripping with charisma and sex appeal!!

Jefferson Airplane are so much an epitome of their time. They seem to have dream the hippie trend even before it came out. Everything works as a community in their band, they make one of the union of all their differences. Precious.

In the audience, Karin Black, really good, beautiful actress, one of my favorites, a long story, I lived in Monterey 11 years later by coincidence. .

The sound is fantastic. What a beauty. Such a year of wonders. Last song is magic

51 YEARS AND COUNTING. HELL YEA!!!!!!

The Owl and The Mole firing on all cylinders

That is one brutal way to eat an orange!!

There are bands and their are legends....this is historical rock....it's like watching jackson pollock drip.

Its hard to imagine that these young lovely people is our grandpa and grandma

Am I seeing two hi-hats there? This clip is so easy to watch over and over. So pure and free.

Those old days in my mind bring Tears and send chills. Staying with My Grannie 4 a month in the summer In Pawnee Ok. At that time when this was happening dam it feels good to share this and I rock on

1´20 yellow guitar = Henry « sunflower » Vestine , i saw Him playin’ with Canned Heat in Belgium (la ferme de la Madelone in Sterpigny) 1 or 2 days before he dies in Paris ... in the end. Of the 90´s RIP Henry, Larry and Robert Lucas, the « Bear » Blind owl and all the good members ofthe band. And don’t forget the boogie

Grace put the haunt in every Airplane track she sang on👍🏻❤️‍🔥🥇👸🏻🥰

Topanga Canyon was one of the "hip places", besides the Sunset Strip and Pete and I (after surfing Malibu) went to "Moon Shadows" where Canned Heat was playing (I was 16, Pete 17) and we snuck in with the help of waitress that let us through the back door. "If the River was Whisky, I'd be a Diving Duck" Randy California (The stage name "Randy California" was given to him by Hendrix to distinguish him from another Randy in the band, Randy Palmer, whom Hendrix dubbed "Randy Texas")

Over ONE HALF CENTURY AGO! Nuts!

RIP, Canned Heat 1967: Alan Wilson, Bob Hite, Henry Vestine, Larry Taylor, & Frank Cook.

I've been listening to Canned Heat since the 1960's, but I never realized until I saw this video that Woody Allen is Canned Heat's drummer. 0:21

When looking to the crowd, you start asking yourself how much fun it must have been en where they are now..what became of them in later life...summer of love 1967..

I wasn't old enough to appreciate the music at the time. Can't get enough of that era. Those who lived it were so lucky.

That stage and fairgrounds was home to some amazing music over many years. The one event that was the most amazing was the Monterey International Pop Festival. Thank goodness it was filmed.

June 1967 Never to be duplicated. Such a beautiful time in our American history.

Just realized why Captain Beefheart wrote the mocking lyrics of "Gimme Dat Harp Boy" ("Gimme dat harp, boy/that ain't no fat man's toy") after seeing Bob Hite and the Heat. Hite bears an uncanny resemblance here to the Captain and sings in a similar vein. Though brilliant, Don's insecurity about his own abilities was legendary.

I am a chavo ruco on my 66 years old and I learn to play blues with those gems!

1967... a great year to be 17. Wish I could do it over.

Saw the Airplane when I was in the the 9th grade at the University of Pacific at Stockton California. I was hooked on the hippie movement & the total music scene from that day forwards. A long strange trip it as been...

Alan Wilson, master of slide and harp in those days, i try to play the same myself, not reaching the same quality.....He died at 27 , It's really sad. from Brittany France

One if the gstill play their albums alreatest bands of the 60s, I'm 67 and play their albums all the time, what a great time for music back then

Larry Taylor was such a badass bassist, quality sideburns too

the 'Bear' always nailed it. Thanks Bob and Al Wilson in full accountant dress and monster slide.

Grace friggin Slick....voice like ice sends you into cold sweats.

Bob Hite! I worked at a campus radio station at the University of Cincinnati in 1980 and interviewed him because can he was playing at a club called Bogart's. I asked him if I could get on the guest list. Here I was in the stressing room partying with canned heat. I was 21 years old. I was sad to find out in Time magazine I believe I saw it, that he passed away not too soon after that.

Such a great time capsule as we know what became of all those June 1967 rockers. Jimi, Janis, Otis, Brian, the Bear, Paul, Mike, and others all gone. Time has not been kind to Grace.

Canned Heat looks so young, amazing

This is from Monterey Pop; a great concert film. Loved the footage of Brian Jones walking among the crowd.

Wow!!! Every year made such a difference back then. Many of the hippies had the short bobbs in 1967, but hair past their shoulders by 1969 at Woodstock....

Concerto magnifico con tutti i migliori artisti di sempre anni irreperibili per la vera musica che emoziona

That poor girl got so high she thought her orange was an apple

Marty and Grace were incredible together
