In a word; stunning! By far the best book ever about the historic Monterey Pop Festival, co-authored by Harvey Kubernik and his brother Kenneth, a more than worthy successor to Harvey's beautiful (and equally wonderful) "Canyon of Dreams." Over 250 pages, the book is filled with hundreds of amazing and never before seen photos of the artists and the three day event itself. The photos are the icing on the cake; the text, which includes a foreword from Lou Adler and an afterword from Michelle Phillips, features revealing, insightful commentary both contemporary and from 1967, from the artists, the promoters, photographers, journalists, and from attendees. This book is really, really sweet, and is a must-own for anyone remotely interested in the impact of this landmark rock n' roll event. Kudos to the Kuberniks. Nice work gentlemen; I salute you. |
