Guitar auction raises $800,000 for rock museum
CLEVELAND (AP) – Giant guitars designed by Yoko Ono, Keith Richards
and Drew Carey took centre stage at the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame charity auction.
Ten-foot-tall replicas of Fender Stratocaster guitars had spent
the summer on display throughout the city. A total of 90 guitars
fetched about $800,000 US on Saturday night at an auction to benefit
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, the United Way and
the Make-A-Wish Foundation, organizers said.
Each bidder paid $75 or $150 to attend the catered gala at the
rock hall.
George Simon, a restaurant owner and lawyer, spent $105,000 for
a guitar painted by Ono. One guitar bearing the likeness of the
Who's Pete Townsend went for $30,000. Another, painted by musician
Graham Nash, sold for $25,000.

At long last... we get to see
BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD's (sans Neil)
performance @ Monterey Pop!!!
From Billboard Online

Spiritual Memories Captured On 'Monterey Pop' DVD
In the hit song "Monterey" -- commemorating the landmark Monterey
Pop Festival of June 16-18, 1967, in northern California -- Eric
Burdon & the Animals sang the lyrics: "Young gods smiled upon
the crowd/Their music being born of love/Children danced night
and day/Religion was being born/Down in Monterey."
These spiritual and musical memories are also reflected in director
D.A. Pennebaker's 1968 documentary "Monterey Pop," now being issued
for the first time Nov. 12 as a three-disc DVD set by the Criterion
Collection. The project will also be available as a less inclusive,
two-tape VHS set for $29.95.
"Monterey Pop" -- considered by a range of film buffs, rock historians,
and music fans to be one of the greatest rock movies ever -- is
a 79-minute program featuring career-defining performances by
Jimi Hendrix, Otis Redding, the Who, Big Brother & the Holding
Co. with Janis Joplin, and Ravi Shankar.
The DVD box, which contains a 65-page historical booklet, boasts
a number of special features. The first disc includes a new, high-definition
transfer of the film, which also starred Canned Heat, Country
Joe & the Fish, the Electric Flag, Jefferson Airplane, the Mamas
& the Papas, Hugh Masekela, and Simon & Garfunkel. It has been
augmented by a 5.1 audio mix in both Dolby Digital and DTS and
includes interviews with Pennebaker, festival producers Lou Adler
and John Phillips, publicist Derek Taylor, and performers Cass
Elliot and David Crosby, as well as the original theatrical trailer,
radio spots, and memorable photos.
The second disc serves up the shorter spin-off documentaries "Jimi
Plays Monterey" and "Shake! Otis at Monterey," along with commentaries
by music historians Charles Shaar Murray and Peter Guralnick and
an interview with Redding's manager, Phil Walden. The third disc
offers two hours of outtakes that also feature the Association,
the Blues Project, the Byrds, the Paul Butterfield Blues Band,
Al Kooper, Laura Nyro, Quicksilver Messenger Service, and Tiny
Tim.
"I always knew that [including] 10 bands out of about 60 wasn't
doing it justice," says Pennebaker, who put everything he had
room for in the original film. And while he didn't know when he
shot the footage how historically significant it would become,
"we could see we had something really beautiful when we started
editing," he says, noting that "virtually everything" lensed is
in the Criterion set.
For Chris Hillman, then of the Byrds, Monterey was indeed "the
best rock festival ever." Citing its "wide spectrum of talent,"
Hillman notes that unlike Woodstock -- which took place in 1969
-- there were "no drug overdoses, no mud, no lack of any amenities,
no negatives at all. Everything worked, and it was such a well-run
show that it set a precedent never to be equaled." Hillman singles
out Shankar's performance as the event's musical highlight. He
says, "You could hear a pin drop when he played, and it was just
mesmerizing."
Ironically, Shankar nearly backed out of the historic gig. "I
was really impressed by some of the musicians like the Mamas &
the Papas, Simon & Garfunkel, Otis Redding, and Janis Joplin,"
says the legendary Indian sitarist, who had just been introduced
to the West through his association with George Harrison and the
Beatles. "I also admired Jimi Hendrix's fantastic virtuosity as
a musician, but then his movements with the guitar -- and finally
burning it up -- were too much. And the Who breaking their whole
instruments disturbed me so much that I decided not to play between
such icons.
"But after a lot of discussions, we arranged to play a separate
afternoon session -- with no one before or after -- and I felt
very inspired," he continues. "It was a fantastic concert. And
I saw the good side of the whole new hippie movement, [though]
I didn't agree with all the gurus of the time, like Alan Watts
and Allen Ginsberg and Timothy Leary, about taking drugs and mixing
it up with Indian yoga and everything. So the movie is a fantastic
memory for me."
Another review
FROM DVD MOVIE CENTRAL
Here is an excerpt
The features are plentiful…I believe we mentioned a third disc
of outtake performances? And not just one or two here, a handful
there…we’re talking over TWO HOURS of great bands making great
music that sorrowfully ended up on the cutting room floor. How
good do you think the three Monterey film release are, when you
consider that tunes that DIDN’T make the cut include The Who doing
“Substitute” and “A Quick One”, The Mamas and Papas doing “Monday,
Monday” and “I Call Your Name”, Buffalo Springfield playing “For What it’s Worth”, Jefferson Airplane’s “Somebody to Love”, Simon and Garfunkel’s
“Homeward Bound” and “Sounds of Silence”, and more? That’s practically
a CD’s worth of 60s greatest hits…and those were the songs that
were left out! The only drawback, which is minor, is that these
performances didn’t get the benefit of a 5.1 remix, but the standard
stereo offerings are still plenty good.
