Synopsis

This concert film showcases the music of the 1967 California festival, featuring performances by popular artists of the 1960s. While not all musicians who performed at the Monterey Pop Festival are included in the film, notable acts that appear are the Mamas and the Papas, Simon & Garfunkel, Jefferson Airplane, the Who, Otis Redding, and the Jimi Hendrix Experience. The film captures Hendrix's post-performance antics, including lighting a guitar on fire, breaking it, and tossing a part into the audience.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
