The Historic Rhythm & Blues Extravaganza That Rocked The 1970 Monterey Jazz Festival
The blues never has been, to my recollection, the occasion for a more joyous celebration of its uniquely vibrant spirit than on a certain day in the late summer of 1970, when Johnny Otis brought his entire azure-indigo caravan of giants to spread their talents over an afternoon on the fairgrounds at Monterey, California. Here was the consummate proof that where today's music may set up communication and generation gaps, the blues destroys them. On stage, where Shuggie Otis, 16; rhythm guitarist Jim (Supe) Bradshaw, 23; singers Margie Evans and Delmar "Mighty Mouth" (no relation) Evans, both in their 20's; and the rest of the singing and blowing battalion representing every decade on up to Pee Wee Crayton and Big Joe Turner, both in their very late 50's, and Roy Milton, who's up there at the Social Security borderline.
The same with the roaring receptive, over capacity audience. Those who stood up on their seats hollering and testifying, or boogalooed along the aisles, were mostly in the 15-25 bracket, while others, less extroverted, exchanged reminiscences about the first time they had heard the call of the blues, perhaps at some half-remembered dance in the 30's, or on a 78 record player at high school in the 40's and 50's. That's what this album is all about. This is no gallery of museum pieces set up to rekindle a lost past, no futile exercise in nostalgia; instead it is a meeting ground were ages, races, and backgrounds coalesce, where grooving together is all that matters. /Leonard Feather

Thank you for this very hip post! Just yesterday I was thinking "I sure would love to hear Pee Wee's version of "The Things I Used To Do" from the "Live at Monterey" LP". Ask and you shall receive!
You're most welcome Franck. And maybe I sensed something that made me post this particular album, apart from that it's a great concert with a stellar line-up that is. Must have been a ball attending to that show. Anyway, glad you enjoyed the post and thanks for your comment.
please could you re-up?
