The Mamas & The Papas - Got a Feelin'

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

Cass had one of the greatest voices of the 1960s. In fact, really, ever.

[@mstrunn]

+George Excellent voice but not close to GOAT Karen Carpenter!

[@unamckillen7125]

Both Cass is power-house and her longevity will be forever Karen is power-house too but in a different way Karen's voice is eternal beautiful Both just different

[@chevyiii]

Especially true if you consider Hardee's!

[@lewisc215]

Better than Tiny Tim?

[@patrickbarnes1612]

Wow, can you imagine - a live version that's even better than the studio recording!!!

[@rafasounds2010]

Drummer deserves an oscar for fixing the tempo at the beginning

[@rafasounds2010]

Well, after close inspection, I've concluded that the tempo fixed itself. It's hard to tell who was following which tempo, but in the end one tempo prevailed.

[@dallasuy95]

It was the bass player, Joe Osborne, who got them back on track. Either way, I love the live version of this song. It’s actually sung with more passion than the original studio recording....which makes total sense considering the subject matter and the venue for that matter.

[@rafaelzengo5534]

@@dallasuy95 Yea, the bass player gets a lot of flak for this performance, but I think he was alright. He made many mistakes that I think were due to not having much time to memorize the parts. But it's clear that he was a class A musician.

It wasn't the drummer and Oscars are for acting not music.

You're so lucky. Always thought you looked a little like Jim Morrison there.

[@notrombones5041]

Tell the truth, now. With those looks (and that hair), you must have had your share of the babes, right?

[@roberttrowell1085]

I can't help but share some personal information here. I'm in extreme metal// hard rock and traditional heavy metal enthusiast who grew up with all of the 60's, 70's and 80's rock vinyls. I was born in 1999 and My grandparents listened to 50's and 60's 'rock' music. They never listened to stuff like Blue cheer, Cream, black Sabbath, or steppenwolf but, I learned so so so much music from their childhood when I was just a baby that eventually they started talking to me about how their was harder and heavier music that they basically had zero interest for whatsoever but, after my interests in music grew exceedingly and my favorite past time was learning and singing music from their era: My grandparents went against my father's wishes;;;((my father my uncle my grandfather and even 3 of my cousins are ordained ministers)(pastors) My father's parents took me to a couple flea markets and after they weren't impressed: they took me to a convention of some sorts where they could give me the opportunity to find harder and heavier music not only from 60's to the 80's, 90's bu they especially wanted me to discover the music before my parents' times and even more so than the past: they really hoped that I would lose my interests in the music of my elders and find music that was popular in my era but, In all honesty, they never ever ever refused me my right to express myself or the opportunity to fully receive music and the gifts of music. Even as highly respected religious public figures the only sinful thing that I know of them doing was owning secular music; though they DID NOT own any ALICE COOPER, and they didn't exactly entertain secular music by promoting secular artists... I remember finding the line that they had drawn in accordance to being and believing they were godly people that did not believe in sheltering me or refusing me any personal freedom. Though by the time I was 9 years old I picked up my second instrument I began to learn secular music and they were so appalled they still to this day that in all of my years as an artist, an entertainer, a musician, and a performer they never stayed to hear me perform. They helped me with transportation to and from so so so many gigs, practices, lessons, meets, shops, and jam sessions but, they never stayed to see me play... I can't remember how young I was but, theyve told me all of my life that if I'm going to be listening to or playing secular music: I can do it out of their presence... They are so very religious and they've made it a point to teach me all that they can about being edifying to God; and they taught me that if I was going to pursue secularism then there would have to be a mutual respect that I did not disrespect them by playing secular music around them, sing any secular Songs, or most of all I were told that to refrain from mentioning or discussing secular topics in any aspect of their presence or their household. The mamas and the poppas were one of the most recent artists that they had physical copies of and Ill never forget how influential they were for me in my youth.

[@MrZinser1]

This is one of my favorite M. and P. songs! What a great time to grow up! THIS is at Monterey Pop! A moment of music history! Thank, God, that we were blessed to view this and remember when this took place! It is NOW the 50th anniversary! I'd love to head to California for a revival and remembrance! Yes, music lovers, we are blessed! Long live, rock and roll and great pop music like the Mama and the Papas! Have you heard "Dancing Bear"? More great music! Peace and Love! Steve

[@dansm1422]

Monterey was the real Woodstock.

[@oppothumbs1]

You got that right. Let acts but more diverse. Denny was better though then Mama Cass' songs which are puff. IMO. Best songs by them R California Dreaming and I Saw her again .

[@mustangmikep51]

You got that right..the "SUMMER of LOVE"..it was all downhill after 67...IMO....harder drugs..harder people...harder life in general..but for a brief moment..it was shear BLISS!

[@raymondmaurer1838]

This is so FABULOUS on so many levels. In 1967 the 'world' we knew was in turmoil not unlike it is today but, the music scene was divided between this sort of folk music of which the Mamas and the Papas exemplified sheer perfection, and harder edged rock-and-roll which would eventually win out for the next decade or so. My opinion for what it's worth. Don't really need anyone to get in my face about it. Peace & Love!

[@tcb5141]

Imagine how prophetic your words were back then.. it's in worse turmoil now

[@basilmarasco1975]

I wouldn't get in your face, and you're basically right. Over the next few years after this song, you had Cream, Steppenwolf, Iron Butterfly, Led Zeppelin, the Who, the James Gang, and a few others leading the way, into the 70s, with even more bands like Nazareth and Bad Company.

[@kittykatz4001]

I was born in 1963. Ty for pointing this out. Now that you have called my attention to it, it’s obvious that you are correct!

[@Mr6stringchaos]

I’ve always loved this video, and this song! Cass Elliott’s voice always makes me melt!

[@kittykatz4001]

When I was a kid throughout the 1970s, I would always watch the Monterey Pop fest on network tv when it was rebroadcast once a yr just to hear this song. (I was too little at the time the festival took place).

[@Klapeful]

That must have been something else to go from Hendrix to the Mamas and Papas set within an hour

[@tommiegirl2441]

Not a lot of live versions of any song are better than the original. This is one - even with the misstep at the beginning. They got it back very quickly, and the rest of the song was fantastic. Cass and Denny were unbelievable.

[@Itsthatguy24]

You said exactly what I was thinking!! I LOVE this version of this song, especially the into haha

[@henryjackson2357]

[@chrgrbltz]

Here is one of those live recordings that absolutely astound one when compared to the Orig. studio recording. There is NO comparison, in particular are the harmonies, pristine-to-perfect, beautiful, lush and full. I make it habit to listen to this version @ least once'a week. The same can be said of YES's (Yessongs live), Lou Reed's (Live Rock and Roll Animal) and RUSH's (All the World's a stage) as just a few examples.

[@holley2]

James Giberson I agree completely. I remember seeing the track listing of this song on the Monterey Pop film and, based on hearing the original studio recording so many times, thinking “Hmmm. How the hell do you perform that song live in front of 20 thousand people?” Well, this is how you do it. You attack it unapologetically and make the audience feel exactly what the song is about. I mean, they are basically singing the lyrics to each other; you can tell that it’s still a little raw for all 4 of them. Really stunning, and a perfect transition between Jimi Hendrix and Ravi Shankar in the film.

[@jeremynv89523]

I’m right with you, brother. Music just doesn’t get better than this. I’ve listened to it probably 100 times now. People like to talk about the minor flaws in this performance; no one ever talks about the really bravura vocal performances of Cass and Denny.

The documentary version of this song is superior to the 1970 and 2023 album version for this simple reason: 0:23 John and Denny's voices are heard alongside Cass but in the album versions Cass's voice is heard too loud and John and Denny are overshadowed, far behind. I love Cass's voice but in that part the song loses its essence and I like the Monterey version more than the studio one, in the 2023 remastering I thought they would change that but they didn't.

[@madelinepae1715]

OK, I guess you're joking, but if you're not... Cass Elliot died in 70's, John Phillips in 2001, Denny Doherty in 2007. The surviving member is Michelle Phillips, but of course she's not 20 anymore.
