The Top 25 Music DVDs of All Time

2. Monterey Pop (Criterion)

Mama Cass of the Mamas and the Papas captures the enthusiasm of June 1967's Monterey Pop music festival as she watches open-mouthed while Janis Joplin tears through "Ball and Chain." Cinema verite master director D.A. Pennebaker goes for varied moods and grooves in his original documentary's selection of performances from the Who, Simon and Garfunkel, Ravi Shankar, Jefferson Airplane, Country Joe and the Fish, Canned Heat and others, but numerous outtakes and entire sets from Jimi Hendrix and Otis Redding clinch this three-disc set as the Sixties' defining moments.
