OTIS REDDING at the MONTEREY POP FESTIVAL: An uncle gave me the Criterion Collection for Monterey Pop at Christmas, so I looked to see whether you too could chase away the Winter doldrums this week with music from the Summer of Love. Lo and behold, here's Otis with Booker T & the MGs and the Mar-Keys, playing "Shake," "Ive Been Loving You Too Long," "Respect" ("a song that a girl took away from me... a good friend of mine..."), "Satisfaction" and "Try a Little Tenderness."

You can see the video for "All In Good Time" at his website and stream "Some Dusty Things" (which I might prefer) from HisSpace (which is also streaming his cover of "I Don't Like Mondays").
