[@jackramp1]

I was there and remember this well...

[@TheGoodmansRadioShow]

You look good for a man in his 70's

[@ajdoubleu4218]

Wow? Really ? OMG amazing, so jealous!

[@janettoungett3965]

That must of been awesome

[@AriesSagSexxx]

Incredible! Wish i was there!

[@Natalia-ep5vq]

You were very lucky !!

[@estebannemo1957]

It's so nice to hear the group play live. They were the real deal, not just a studio band.

[@julianwalden4181]

The 60s man. 👍🏻💜

[@devildoll9929]

Sublime. Together with The Association they made some of the best harmonies ever.

[@julianvickery8341]

The Mamas & the Papas' performance of "Straight Shooter" on Day 3 (18 June) at the close of the Monterey International Pop Festival in 1967. Track 1 of 9 songs they played that day.

[@edf9682]

I wish there was more live Mamas and Papas available. Most is overdub except this concert and it’s amazing!!!

[@jonhodgkinson3191]

Mama Cas what a voice

[@disintegrationnation9352]

her harmony @ 2:15.

[@thesp3628]

Only found this track recently, absolutely love it.

[@tonyleva35]

My God.....how this is overlooked is beyond me.

[@trfesok]

Out of all the songs they did at Monterey, this came off the best. Thanks for the upload!

[@gabrielcontrerashernandez2986]

Ahora escucho está canción y se me viene a la mente Once upon a time in Hollywood. 🌻

[@jennyjohanna9129]

This is HOT STUFF!!! What a Groove!!!

[@goov47]

Awesome drummer!!

[@ajdoubleu4218]

Fast Eddie Hoh 🔥🔥

[@bethk3773]

What a great drummer ! Why haven't we heard more about him ?

[@lupcokotevski2907]

The great session drummer 'Fast' Eddie Hoh. He was their touring drummer. Some of his work: Bloomfield, Kooper, Stills Super Session album, Donovan (eg Season of the Witch), Tim Buckley (Goodbye and Hello album), The Monkees (eg Daydream Believer). Drugs screwed him up and by 1970 his career was over. He passed in 2015 aged 71. He was corresponding with fans in his later years. Not forgotten.

[@readyfreddy4630]

Mama Cass really nails me to the wall !

[@edf9682]

They were bickering at this time I believe due to Michelle sleeping with Denny while married to John and Cass was in love with Denny. I read that Cass knew she was a way better singer and used her voice to drown out Michelle...

[@Elif-ed8gf]

@@edf9682 omg really

[@michellem.7067]

Michelle's mic wasn't working because the group before them wrecked the stage.

[@juanfrankazofeifagonzalez6583]

- Awesome,Wave Groovy...~😀🌉🙆🏻‍♀️🎶🎸

[@greenwichlirr1]

The best thing about Eddie Hoh's drumming here is the sly grin that creeps on his face right after the amazing fill he does at around :46 seconds in. He was having a ball.

[@LiamGWilickMusic]

OH MY GOD!!! THAT IS THE BEST MOMENT ON THIS VIDEO. I love the M's & P's and the song but Eddie is a fukin amazing drummer. I wish there was more video of him playing. That's him on Pleasant Valley Sunday and all over that Monkees record and on Super Sessions with Bloomfield, Kooper & Stills!

[@ajdoubleu4218]

Liam G Wilick absolutely! Trying to find more coverage on him. OMG, wasn’t he just a cool cat🔥🔥

[@jimflys2]

Yep, he is really killing it on this set. Check out the Monkees l.p. called Peices, Aquarius, Capricorn and Jones Ltd. That is all Eddie and some really great examples of his playing imo.

[@ajdoubleu4218]

@@jimflys2 so sad he died 2015. I tried to do so much research on him and I would have loved to have made contact with him. I’m told he always took the time to reply to his fans.

[@disintegrationnation9352]

good catch!

[@georgewatts9361]

So much talent.

[@НиколайМарковски-у9ы]

Прекрасни ❤️ Божествено ❤️

[@AndyHuff38]

Sublime! love it

[@waynerobert7986]

Fabulous

[@danteanthonyr8233]

They sound so clean

[@lupcokotevski2907]

The brilliant session drummer 'Fast' Eddie Hoh ripping it up - that's him on Season of the Witch by Donovan and Daydream Believer by The Monkees. He's the man on the Bloomfield, Kooper, Stills Super Session album.

[@TheGoodmansRadioShow]

Never knew he was the Super Sessions drummer. Man of the moment indeed

[@mareygracer14]

Nice song...Q.Tarantino movie with Brad Pitt & Leonardo DiCaprio brought me✌🏼📽😎

[@TheGreenmeeny]

WOW…clips of Fast Eddie Hoh

[@kevanbrown7620]

I like the intro riff, a bit similar to the riff to Pleasant Valley Sunday by the Monkees

[@ncarpenter28]

So good!!

[@NuCkInFuTs1]

Alright who's got the dope? Half of that belongs to me. Lol

[@archjackson782]

pretty amazing... do under estimate Michelle....

[@scarlette536]

Cass Elliot is doing all the singing. Michelle never has her microphone on.

[@markoverman2250]

wrong

[@brianwolle2509]

i can hear her.

[@jiordanfisher6076]

her microphone wasn't working

[@NuCkInFuTs1]

Maybe John had something to do with that lol, don't get caught fucking his tenor!! Haha

[@runidjurhuus3937]

In the end you can hear her

[@frederickglasser5617]

Michelle doesn't need to have her mic on. All she needs to do is stand there, hit that tambourine, and just keep looking prettttty.

[@michaelfuria4257]

Michelle is beautiful!

[@blackestcat1111]

I often wondered can she sing?

[@jiordanfisher6076]

i think her voice adds a lot to the songs. of course her voice is not as powerful as Cass', that's not to say she can't sing.

[@NuCkInFuTs1]

She was the eye candy 🍬🍭

[@michellem.7067]

She sings "String Man", if you guys want to know how she sounds like.

[@niccoarcadia4179]

let there be drums, great bangin' don't know who he is but he makes the song work!

[@gturner4216]

+Follow The Sun That's the recently departed Fast Eddie Hoh. Session player extraordinaire , on a lot of the Monkeys stuff, Donovan, Tim Buckley etc. Producers called on him when they wanted sparks to fly in the studio.

[@niccoarcadia4179]

G Turner Thanks for the info. I just read about him. A session drummer and a friend to the party people of Sunset Strip. He partied with the best of 'em. Super cool guy!

[@ajdoubleu4218]

The late great fast Eddie Hoh. 1944-2015, died 8/11/15. R.I.P.

[@johnnymfan5065]

Too bad Michelle's microphone malfunctioned and you can't hear her.. This would sound fantastic if it was working. Some say it broke during the Who's performance. I wonder why she or a stagehand didn't test the mics before they went on?

[@richwayne45]

Does Spanish Harlem by The Mamas and Papas exist on video? I've seen every performance from their Monterey set, but I can't find Spanish Harlem anywhere?

[@shelby8364]

I was wondering the same thing!

[@steverose7782]

Best I could locate is the live audio version without video from June 1 1967. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioXCapKOrbioo9k

[@joelcampbell1491]

Cass was stoned lol.Whst a voice

[@ellenkincaid8435]

Too bad not more videos of the band playing

[@TheGoodmansRadioShow]

Yes, very little live footage exists sadly

[@NuCkInFuTs1]

Here's a wild off the wall thought.. what if Papa John joined the Doors after Jim died???? How would have that went? Or another thought.. what if Bob "the bear" from Canned Heat joined the Doors after Jim died???

[@KeepRockin55]

many a lost sekker never came back from this trip

[@jonhodgkinson3191]

Would of given anything to have been there roadie

[@brianwolle2509]

would of? where do you get such english? do they teach this shit? try "would've".

[@NuCkInFuTs1]

They do but not all of us pay attention in skool so be nice! Lol

[@NuCkInFuTs1]

Jon me too man, then maybe we would've had a chance at a roll in the grass with Mama Michelle too! Lol

[@northing69]

Охрененно круто !

[@Micky1958]

I think this show was after Michelle was fired, but they needed her for their last performance. Plus I think she has a dead mic untill the end. Did I get this right folks or am I wrong

[@Inyourspectraleyes]

Benjamin Y Yes I am pretty sure this was after Michelle got fired and they did a few last shows in 1968

[@brianwolle2509]

why was she fired?

[@Inyourspectraleyes]

@@brianwolle2509 She had an affair with Denny.

[@NuCkInFuTs1]

@@brianwolle2509 RyRy is correct, John found out about her fucking his tenor.

[@Lonahenderson]

On an ed Sullivan compilation she was eating a banana while singing
