Shake! Otis at Monterey (1987)

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.

Another great taken way before their time. If you get the deluxe Monterey Pop Festival box set, this is included on the same disc as Jimi Hendrix.

In just a brief 5 song set, Otis Redding shows off what makes him one of soul music's greatest legends.

Otis Redding is a badass and that is all to it. No one can repeat sentences for a whole day and still make it sound so groovy.

in the criterion release this film is coupled with jimi hendrixs performance at monterey. while hendrix is virtuosic and an incredible entertainer, otis reddings performance has the soul and energy that jimi lacked. i realize that may sound like heresy, but reddings attitude shines so much more than jimis does. he was a great entertainer and was less tied to the free love culture of the time. wish it could have been longer.

Redding is one of my favorite artists at the whole show, and it's a shame they gave him a mere 17 minutes. His performance is dynamite, and there's none of that pointless intro nonsense. But Pennebaker does fuck up in one crucial way. When "Try a Little Tenderness", one of Redding's signature songs, starts up the director picks that moment to cut away and show us a goddamn 3-minute montage of festival attendees (usually in relation to the lyrics... weary women, people being tender). We only get to see Otis again during the final minute of the song. So fucking stupid.
