While this wasn't especially upsetting, seeing the crowd behave as if they were watching a Roman spectacle was frightening. After the Good Guy had pinned the Bad Guy (everyone knows in advance which is which), he would look to the crowd for its verdict. As the crowd roared its merciless answer, the wrestler-turned-gladiator let his opponent have it in the chest...
...GETTING worse all the time. You look at this crazy, screwed-up world bursting out all around you, and you wonder how long it will be before you're as nuts as Mayor Daley and his cops. So what can you do? You can cancel your subscription to the Times and start reading Field and Stream. Or hide in your room and watch I Dream of Jeannie on TV.

Pennebaker, who made Don't Look Back, the one widely seen verite documentary, more than half a dozen cameramen prowled the crowd catching the mood-but not the meaning-of the event. Several performers (Janis Joplin, Otis Redding, Ravi Shankar) come through with a jolting, immediate intensity, but watching Monterey Pop is like listening to an LP with pictures. Twenty years from now, the film may have value as a historical curiosity. Surely...
