Review - :
In 1967 the {~Monterey Pop Festival} not only launched the careers of several legends of late-'60s rock including {$Jimi Hendrix}, {$the Who}, {$Janis Joplin} and {$Otis Redding}, but also highlighted the San Francisco sound led by the {$Jefferson Airplane}. Their eight-song set from Saturday evening June 17, 1967 is captured in its entirety on {^High Flying Bird: Live at the Monterey Festival}. In hindsight, when compared to their elongated early morning, acid-jamming at {~Woodstock} two years later, or the debacle that was Altamont, this is the {$Airplane} simultaneously peaking and ushering in the Summer of Love. It's still amazing to hear the unique blending of {$Grace Slick} and {$Marty Balin}'s vocals on tracks like {&"Today"} and {&"She Has Funny Cars"} as they both had powerful voices, incredible range and the elegance to fluidly harmonize with ease. Previously these performances made their way onto compilations, box sets and bootlegs; although the U.K. label {@Magnum} had released this material in the mid-'90s, the 2007 {@Music Avenue} edition has superior sound quality. Of the eight tracks, half are taken from the {^Surrealistic Pillow} album, two are {\folk} tunes -- {&"Other Side of This Life"} and {&"High Flying Bird"} -- and the finale previews two cuts from the then unreleased {^After Bathing at Baxter's} album, {&"Young Girl Sunday Blues"} and {&"Ballad of You and Me and Pooneil."} ~ Al Campbell, All Music Guide
