Plot summary

Renowned documentary filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker captures Otis Redding in his ascendancy, singing at the historic Monterey International Pop Festival in June 1967. Comedian Tom Smothers introduces Redding to a crowd that is leaving -- until Redding grabs them with his charged rendition of "Shake." Redding's performance also includes "Respect" (which he wrote), "I've Been Loving You Too Long," "Satisfaction," and "Try a Little Tenderness." Tragically, Redding died in a plane crash six months later. An innovative filmmaker who started in the 1950s making experimental films, Pennebaker garnered an Oscar nomination for Best Documentary Feature in 1993 for The War Room, his behind-the-scenes look at Bill Clinton's 1992 campaign. His other subjects have included Norman Mailer, Bob Dylan, and David Bowie.

Short but sweet

A legend at play showing why he was a legend. Epic but all too brief. Like his life.

no more, no less

It's June 17, 1967 Monterey, California. Tommy Smothers comes on stage and introduces Otis Redding. It's twenty minutes of Otis performing. This is exactly what you expect, no more, no less. Sure, it's great for fans but it's great for any music lovers. His music is easy to love. There is one weird thing that the filmmakers did with "Try a Little Tenderness". They took the words "Young girls they do get wearied" to literally start a montage of every girl at the festival. It's a little weird and a little stalkery. Maybe I'm being too sensitive.

Man, this guy was amazing!

I saw this on TCM and it certainly is an unforgettable experience. It really stays with you-thinking about the influence this great musician had. It only lasts 20 minutes, but I gotta say that what I did see I cannot and will not forget.

This is a beautiful document of a beautiful moment in music history.
