OK…where do we start? Let's start with Jimi: this legendary, incendiary Jimi Hendrix performance (“incendiary” to be taken literally here: Jimi actually doused and torched his guitar in Monterey) is one of two or three pinnacles of Rock music, PERIOD!. Think of this performance as Jimi Hendrix dropping a REAL Big One on the world of Pop and Rock music. In the mayhem that ensued, nothing would ever be the same. And, no, after playing this disc "you will never listen to the Surf music again" (certainly not the way you did before Hendrix  cremated his Guitar for the whole world to see).

Ah, but wait…you ain’t heard nothing yet…compared to what you are about to find on the other side of this record, Jimi Hendrix's side is basically a filler - a light aperitif; a humble hors d’oeuvre to a delicious five-course meal Otis Redding is about to serve you. Flip the disc to the Otis Redding side and hear what we totally, firmly, categorically believe is the SINGLE GREATEST live performance in the history of recorded music. According to the legend, after Otis' 15-minute performance with Booker T. & the MG's and Mar-Keys (he was more or less dragged away from the stage by the police despite protestations from the audience, because he overstayed his brief time slot), Mama Cass was gasping for air (no, folks, she WASN’T choking on  a sandwich!), Janis Joplin was weeping uncontrollably, and Brian Jones and Pete Townsend were standing there, deaf, dumb and… numb. No wonder. Nothing we've heard in 37 years of collecting music matches, let alone tops, the screaming passion, the agony and the ecstasy,  and the brutal intensity - almost violence - of the Otis Redding’s Monterey performance – the very last live performance of his brief life. You can literally hear Otis struggling in between songs to regain his breath.  If ever a performer EXPLODED on stage in a mushroom cloud, this is IT. Show us another concert performance of this level of emotional and physical intensity, if you can. SHOW US!!! WE DARE YOU!!!

In other words, on side 1 Jimi Hendrix douses and torches his guitar.

On side 2, Otis Redding sets HIMSELF  on fire!!!

Finally, for those doubting Thomases who claim that Otis Redding had a voice of only limited range: hearing this live version of "I've been loving you too long" should keep ‘em mum for awhile: the guy sings his SOUL out!!! 

For its extraordinary contribution to the modern music, superb production, craftsmanship, fine musicianship, revolutionary significance and influence it exerted on numerous generations of musicians, writers and general public, or for some other innate quality, this album was voted one of top-200 albums of all time in one of the largest poll of critics, music reviewers, professionals and producers ever organized: the poll, which was conducted by Paul Gambaccini, legendary BBC Radio A&R man, surveyed more than 50 top music professionals (including Roy Carr, Jonathan Cott, Robert Christgau, Cameron Crowe, Chet Flippo, Ben Fong-Torres, Charlie Gillett, Greil Marcus, Murray the K., Lenny Kaye, Bruce Morrow (a/k/a "Cousin Brucie"), Tim Rice (of "Jesus Christ Superstar" and "Evita" fame), Lisa Robinson, Robert Shelton (who wrote liner notes for Bob Dylan's first album), Ed Ward, Joel Whitburn, Pete Wingfield, etc.). For more details, see: "Critics Choice: Top-200 albums" compiled by Paul Gambaccini, Omnibus Press, Library of Congress Catalog No.7855565 (or ►click here  for the complete album listing).
