I am exhausted after watching Monterey Pop and Woodstock back to back (with poll)

Well not exactly non-stop back to back as it took me 2 days to accomplish the feat but I have a few comments if anyone cares to listen. It may be hard to believe but I was alive and functioning back when those two concerts happened and I admit that I did not attend either one like the 15 million people who claim to have attended Woodstock but I did make tie dyed shirts in my bathtub. That is kind of like the 10 million men who claim to have been Navy Seals but that is another story for another time.

I love both movies. Monterey Pop is, in my opinion, the movie that started it all and is the prototype of Woodstock and all concert movies that followed. I would even call Woodstock a remake of Monterey Pop with some different performers but there are major difference in the two films. Monterey Pop is raw, unrefined and all about the music while Woodstock is also about the music but is a much more refined movie with it's fancy refined filming techniques. What made the difference for me is that Country Joe McDonald did not sing in Monterey Pop while he did sing in Woodstock. Country Joe has one of the greatest folk rock voices in the histroy of music in my opinion.

Which movie do you prefer if you are old enought to watch them? This article is only about these two films but if you mention another concert film I most likely won't delete your comment as long as you discuss these two films.
