True story- one of my mentors (the guy that got my boss into the sound biz) was one of the engineers at Monterey Pop and at this Candlestick show. He said it was a huge clusterfuck- the prehistoric P.A. never had a chance against all those screaming teens
Is that the show Kesey and the Pranksters attended? Pretty memorable description of them all high as kites in The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Tests, watching how movements of Paul's guitar would create ripples in the crowds.
Lennon took particular delight in making vaguely obscene alterations to their song lyrics ("I Wanna Hold Your Gland")…
OMG that was the first altered lyric I came up with as a kid!!
you, me and every other 13 year old…

Wow cool. Most of the audio I've heard from those shows was pretty much all screaming teens.

I think that was a previous show at the Cow Palace
I couldn't get a ticket, but I knew kids that went to this show. If I knew it was to be the last one, I might have tried harder.
