"Monterey", Eric Burdon

[@anamariacl3503]

I never been in Monterey, but every time I hear this song I can imagine how it was. One of the best song from Eric Burdon, what a amazing voice!!!!!, I love his voice.

[@Toyboy789]

This was one of the first pieces that turned me onto the music of the late 60s - while it was all happening around us . . . The excitement of a Brave New World was palpable. We all felt the 'revolution' just around the corner. I still sense all that excitement today (in my early 50s) when I crank this track up! Thanks for the post conkyjoe!

[@paulkate72]

This man had one of the best voices to come out of the 60s. What a talent was/is Eric Burdon. And he could sing more than just the blues. How many can do that!? A legend.

[@fmdog44]

One of the great voices and music styles of the entire rock music world. Never got the recognition he deserved.

[@Kernel5068]

eric burdon puts soul into all his music with his insite and knowledge. This song is another example...love that base part!

[@stratocruising]

"You wanna find the truth in life, don't let music pass you by." Genius and Truth.

[@TimMunyon]

The greatest song ever to commemorate an event! This song has passion, insight and great music!

[@Montery12]

In the 1960s, Eric Burdon was known for singing lyrics that conveyed societal issues. I grew up in the 60s and his music empowered me to move forward and not give up in life…At a time when I was powerless, vulnerable, had no money and no real advise from a positive fatherly-figure…Eric through his wonderful music showed me that I can be anything and do anything I wanted…Today I am successful in life…Thanks Eric, mom and a special school teacher who believed in me…

[@mickeymousebiker1]

For Jim and Stan. If you guys are still on two wheels out there in NorCal, then, ride safe. Because of you guys, and the ride we took to M-Rey, the spring of 1967 was a gas for me. Love ya, my brothers!

[@m.inthedesert7134]

Love this so much! I was only 5 or 6 when my parents took my family to Monterey pop so my older brothers could see Ravi. My Mother & I spent the day wandering the grounds people watching( she knew enough to point out Michelle Phillips & we saw Micky in his headdress). The air was scented with jasmine, patchouli & nag champa. Lovely! It wasn't until recently that I realized the great Eric Burdon was there (floored me!) & discovered this song. Can't think how it took me this long to come across it!! The words capture the festival perfectly. I've never forgotten the magical feeling of that amazing day.

[@Chasencharlie13]

+Marie Churchman Great stuff Marie, you were so lucky to have been there.....Peace and Love......

[@m.inthedesert7134]

Thanks and the same to you ✌️

[@lucypotato5019]

+Marie Churchman Lucky You!

[@timhitt5934]

I bet pot scented the air too!

[@CarSal44]

Studying electrical engineering (MSEE) I lived 3 years in MONTEREY, from 1971 to

[@HarryAreola0]

The bass kicks ass!!!!! Erick - one of the greatest voices in RnR.

[@philipatoz]

Thanks KZbin, I now understand this, a song I've heard about a billion times since it came out. What a fantastic homage to all of the great bands at Monterrey Pop Festival. It's truly a sonic snapshot of the 60s and a salute to great rock music. Also, its incredibly complex musically - not in the droning, driving bass, but in the "performer imitations" of Hendrix, Who, etc. I can't imagine how difficult this would be to pull off live. The bass and the vocals keep the tension up - GREAT song!

[@johnknottenbelt2502]

Eric Burdon's "ode" to the mother of all Music festivals !

[@rdavidwolfe]

I forgot how much his music was in my life, enbedded in my mind. Super nice to have the ears rehear my youth.

[@tiptoncathcart]

This guy is a legend! One of the great, GREAT voices and I could listen to as I die. Thanks Eric!!!!

[@MarkGloverMasterson]

Doesn't get better than this -- love this UK lot. Experienced Burdon @ Bumbershoot a few summers ago. Exceptional lyricists! And I read that they took to the stage following Johnny Rivers. Soooo cool!!

[@skeena59]

"You want to find the truth in life, Don't pass music by." Truer words were never spoken. Pure musical magic by Eric and the Animals captures the taste and flavor of 3 day festival.

[@docdurdin]

Eric's still out there kickin' ass.... No dead at 27 BS...

[@linda100]

Amazing song, Eric Burdon is so talented !

[@deathcapped]

Still wear patchouli, still have blacklight posters, still have Jefferson Airplane vinyls - I never left the 60's. Damn I love this song!

[@ferency98]

Thank you for posting. I love to see the different sides of Eric Burdon. To go from The Animals, to this song, to the lead singer of War. One of the greatest voices of all time. Thank you Britain for Burdon!

[@TheQ97]

WOW!!!! . . . It Just Doesn't Get Any Better!!!!

[@mickeymousebiker1]

To Stan and Jim: thank you for the memories and the photos of Jimi, Grace, Brian, and Janis. Thank you for the motorcycle ride to the event. Thank you for being there in June 1967.

[@erick308058]

Love this song! Such a great song I'm glad my dad showed me this magnificent tune!!!!

[@joseluisazuara699]

Hermosa canción tenia 12 años vivía en álamo Veracruz y los que estudiaban en México (poli-unam) cuando regresaban al pueblo a los que les gustaba esta musica la llevaban en sus discos de acetato y yo tenia algunos amigos que me prestaban sus discos y entre ellos figuraba eric burdon y allí en algún álbum de burdon se encontraba esta hermosa canción (de época) saludos a toda la raza de esa época que me toco coincidir con ellos "hermosa época)

[@goodtotheend1]

60 yrs old and I still love the sounds back then, lots of goodtimes, keep u the good sounds.

[@mickeymousebiker1]

This one just moves so right (still). Jim and Stan -- thanks for the great ride with me to M-Rey (spring 1967).

[@1960jack]

great clip! fantastic music history from the ultimate rock, pop gathering ever! Eric Burden and the Animals were truly a great band. I went to the 40th anniv. of the Monterey Pop and had a blast... wish I was at the original plus I wish Eric could have been on the 40th anniv. ticket. Long live the good spirits ... down in Monterey!

[@edgross2031]

One of my favorite films. I was a filmmaker in 1970, this was an influence, working with the pioneers of music videos. Also i once stayed overnight in Monterey and walked the fairgrounds the next morning. Magic!

[@philbrown9764]

I was a year away from joining the Marines and going to Nam, Chu Lai 68-69.

[@walterfechter8395]

Like being bathed in an aura of gold and orange. My favorite tune by Eric Burdon. For all of those who organized all the musicians. For the musicians. For all of those who were there in the audience. Thank you, Little Steven Van Zandt, for last night's Underground Garage show about Monterey Pop '67.

[@TheQ97]

so glad i was alive to experience this!!!

[@delta9779]

"YOU WANT TO FIND THE TRUTH IN LIFE DON'T PASS MUSIC BY" sounds pretty simple to me. Live it love feel it thanks for the memories of a time gone by love Eric and all groups of that time.

[@imaynardstool]

Totally agree, Doug. Love the footage of Eric - especially sitting on the fence. Great tune, great singer.

[@discomadame]

such a fantastic song and a real underrated artist eric burdon's the king

[@cincinha]

Talento nato. Fantástico.

[@jamesdananay3390]

I remember watching the film from this concert, what blew me away was Janis Joplin and when she had finished the pan to Mama Cass' face, she was blown away also.

[@Hologhoul]

I had this song on the VHS 'Jimi Plays Monterrey' - I lost the video, assuming I could easily get it on DVD and later found it hard to get hold of without paying stupid money. This track really captures the whole feel and vibe of the festival, it's quite magical.

[@delta9779]

ty conkyjoe I was 17 and wow was i digging him amd the whole scene where has life gome I get chills when I hear this with all the memories it brings back. "IF YOU WANT TO FIND THE TRUTH IN LIFE DON'T PASS MUSIC BY" and you know I would not lie down in Monterey Thanks for the memories.

[@curtjester1]

"Three days of understanding....People moving with one another...EVEN the cops grooved with us!! Do you believe me, yeahhhh??!!!"....That depicted the best of the 60's, and that was the best lyric line of any song of the 60's

[@eduardo51123]

I was so young, but I remember those days like if it were a dream, a beautiful dream.... Thanks Eric.

[@a_missippian]

This song kicks ass. Every little thing about it is perfect. Album version has more stuff, esp an awesome intro. Still many thanks conkyjoe for the upload.

[@chesterarebest]

i grew up with this guys records and most of friends didnt get it. He was brilliant and lyrics and muisc arequite astounding.....stand the test of time..complex and provacative

[@TheQ97]

AND . . . Another Classic by Eric . . . . . . HE CAPTURED THE FEELING!!!

[@MicheleJane]

Wish I could've thought clearly enough to have asked Eric Burdon when I met and partied with him 36 years ago about Monterey and Hendrix. He did tell some interesting stories, and was a very cool, kind person.

[@paulabuontempo6436]

mimmimooter what did he say you? How is he like?

[@kellygilford8637]

Living history. I live right up the street and it still looks exactly the same!

[@Sunni5050]

Thinking about those days. How much has changed. It was a special time. Never will be repeated.

[@kendematk]

FANTASTIC SONG I LOVE IT.

[@alvavilledasebastian8580]

yo tenia como once que cabida esta música nunca debería de pasar de moda tan natural soy de hidalgo y e recuerda mi infancia y mis padres y hunos.enrique flores h tablón atita

[@Boinados]

Great bass work !

[@itdoesntmatter56789]

In 1967 I did not know Monterey from Manta Ray but I sure loved Eric Burdon's music. Thanks for this trip down memory lane!, conky!!

[@dianemickelson4384]

Wish I had been old enough to of been at the Monterey pop festival but sadly I was only 10 and I had some friends growing up who had older siblings that went to Woodstock and sadly I was to young to go to that also, but not too young to enjoy the great musicians and their music. Thank God for Turntables and Vinyl back in the day and the stores who sold them and for KZbin , from which I was able to see this, and for all the people who post all the wonderful songs I like old, classics and new.

[@dianemickelson4384]

Tony Harris I won't. thank you.

[@Ori0987]

I wasn't even born yet so 😂

[@Ori0987]

Luckier than me lol

[@GenericGene]

Thanks - One of my favorites -

[@danm5273]

Had the 45 of this...love the psychedelic rock era! Too many great tunes to list.

[@Cyclist0623]

My God, he is SO YOUNG here! Incredible. That Sitar - raga rock. What a time. Burdon really captured it in this piece. "You wanna find the truth in life? Don't pass music by." What a line. "Even the cops grooved with us." That was sure before it all fell apart.

[@bobbo1948]

This is about Eric & The Animals. Not the other performers. A great song, exemplifying a fabulous event. Eric was way ahead of his time.

[@frankcovip2000]

This is an authentic jewel of music history, I never seen before. Thx a lot for posting conkyjoe. Regards from México..

[@laberlaban]

An All Time Classic Rock'n'roll On Acid. I love that sound! Great lp! "The Twain Shall Meet" from '68. As new and fresh as 42 yrs ago. Super! :oD

Great song brings back good memories!

[@TheQ97]

"... If You Want To Know The Truth In Life ... .... Don't Pass Music by!!!"

[@electricchurchmusic4298]

Amazing !!!

[@markino1963]

he's still around....saw a fantastic LIVE at the Tramps in NYC some years ago so many feelings stories and blues beat rock from the best sixties....it was the house of the risin sun!

[@tatumanu]

For all i heard and saw on tape from Monterey ...it was pretty much a perfect festival .... no problems with security, no reports of bad drugs, awesome crowd and of course Jimi Hendrix Experience delivering it flawlessly. Wish i was there more than i wish i was in Woodstock.

[@docdurdin]

Eric Burdon = pure talent... Never sold out.

[@michellarriere3561]

docdurdin génial

[@gb032645]

The coolest voice in rock history.

[@humphreyman690]

Wow memories flood into my mind, as I go through my daily grind bringing back to me, the earlier days, when my spirit soared free...in a moment of escaped time, between the seconds on the wall.. bring me back to monterey

[@magpieeye3239]

One of my favorite places to hang out...Monterey :)

[@mberge1]

I remember listening to this song on the radio when I was a kid. Awesome!

[@georgehernandez1627]

One of the Best songs written in the sixties about rock festivals, if not the best/next to Woodstock. Eric really kicks super ass in this song so the the new Animals! Still great to listen to after almost half a decade!!! George/Guadalajara Mexico. Time/Peace XX

[@alexcamaro98]

[@GuitarmanIIII]

Last night, Little Steven opened his Underground Garage with this one. Steven's radio show featured a great tribute to the greatest outdoor concert (Monterey Pop '67). Thanks, Steven!

LOVIN IT!

[@neponsetriver]

Thanks for this version. Another one featuring random Monterey footage was taken down by KZbin a while ago, along with the channel. Let's see how long this one stays up. A wonderful song that was not as popular as a single at the time as it should have been; from the LP "The Twain Shall Meet", which also had "Sky Pilot" on it.

[@TacoVeldstraGrutte]

The storey of popconcert Monterey! great Eric Burden!

[@LiberTBo]

There is some film footage here from the Monterey Pop Festival in1967...other footage appears to be random and from alternative southern California sites.

[@stevie0523]

@philipatoz man, u just hit the nail right smack on the head....i can't imagine how great it would be to hear this live....

[@broncodeviltexas]

Great lyrics. Eric Burdon, with the Animals, then the new Animals and then with War. Great bands all.

[@janperkins2989]

The 60s and 70s had the BEST music of ALL TiME! OUR GENERATION did that.

[@JustAFocus]

3:29 -- Always liked this short little quote of the Byrds' "Renaissance Fair."

[@andythomas706]

This is the lineup I saw in London in December '67. They were quite something. I think the albums are patchy but there's no doubt they recorded some stirling stuff! Sky Pilot is another example!

[@yardtick]

Eric Burdon is good and gets as much credit as Clapton. They are both incredible. I was around when the Animals were around. I've seen Eric twice and he was exceptional. Go see him in a small venue if possible. He lives in AZ and still tours.

[@lotusalivelight24]

[@iansail93]

I am an Aussie and never went to Monterey or Woodstock. We had a similar show miles north of Melbourne on a farm - Sunbury and I went to the 2nd one. It was amazing and will always remember it and the funny things that happened there.

[@Rousemouse100]

Idk if anyone notices but when he mentions a certain artists name they start playing in a manner that would emulate the sound/song in which that artist or band would play

[@Elvis.Pelvis]

No shit?

[@billfarley9015]

"His Majesty Prince Jones" was Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones. I used to have a 45 of this song but I could never understand this line: "the Grateful Dead blew everybody's mind". I saw a concert at Tanglewood with The Who, Jefferson Airplane and BB King. Before it started I was wanderering around and came upon The Who who were in a little shack they were using for a dressing room, and got to talk to them a bit. Security was a lot looser back then and The Who were very young, kids really. The concert was very good too, very professional.
