Cass Elliott was the Powerful Voice that made The Mamas and Papas!! Rest in Eternal Peace Dear Cass!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Cass Elliot's voice is heavenly - just perfection.

We lived near the Monterey Fairgrounds and I was 12 so I got to go with my older sister who got a job as an usher there. She went to all the performances but my parents only let me go to the daytime performances since I was 12. It is interesting to see the movie Monterey Pop because I see our school teachers and policemen we knew working there. I saw Janice Joplin, Steve Miller Band, Country Joe McDonald, ,Canned Heat, The Association, Ravi Shankar. But my sister saw the evening performances of the Mamas and Papas, Jimi Hendrix, The Who and many others. I am now 69 and she is 74 and lots of people in the crowd and performed there are now gone. Thanks for the memories !

What a beautiful time. We were all searching for the "answer" and yet we didn't know that we were living in the midst of what we were searching for. We didn't know that we had "it" until it was gone.

The group was incredible but honestly it is Cass Elliot who stands out above the rest, she had a unique charisma and personality.

Monterey 67 was the warmup for the Woodstock Festival of 69 . This film is historic and a pleasure to see .

THE premiere harmonizers of the 1960s. Miss that vocal syncopation.

I saw them in concert once. I'm lucky. In fact, I am lucky and thankful for having grown up in the 1960s.

Music from the Sixties was the absolute best.

I am so so pleased and thankful the 60's happened music wise, because the 70's, 80's and 90's would have never happened in the way it did. Brilliant concert and video.

Michelle was quite the looker !❤

I ‘lived’ this group. At 15 I was loving all the very best music of any decade. ‼️ so many memories are filling my heart and soul right now. Best years of my lifetime.

I wish I could have seen them in person, I adored them all. I did see and get to meet Janis Joplin and still have the autograph she gave me. she kissed me on my cheek and told me I was cool. I was a nerdy farm boy in high school at the time. That's my touch in with this beat generation.

Eddie Hoh on drums…played on many records of that era, then disappeared. Passed away a few years back. RIP

If I could have attended only one concert in my lifetime, Monterey Pop would be it.

Mamma Cass is awesome!

I was but a wee lad of nine in 1967 but I remember hearing this Groovy songs on the radio the 60s were magical ✌🎸🎶

I just noticed following this through to the end that Hal Blaine of the Wrecking Crew was sitting in with Eddie Hoh for a dual drumming closeout @37:04 through 37:09. Hal played on virtually EVERYTHING that came out in that era, inc Mamas and Papas and Simon and Garfunkle, Beach Boys, you name it. Another legend now departed.

Im 74. Its great to see videos of my favs cause i really didn't get a chance to see them touring back then. It's nice to see them performing in their early years.

Cass had such a great voice.

Nobody’s mentioned the crowd pictures. They all look so happy; cuddling, hugging, kissing, riding motorcycles and feeding each other. Many gorgeous smiles and a feeling of serenity coming from everyone. Just like Scott McKenzies song lyrics… “People in Motion” 🌎 ~peace brothers and sisters~

Amazing how they manage to recreate the vocal harmony of their records in a live concert. There's no doubt Cass Elliot is the keystone, her voice is so crucial to the blend and cuts through everything else. Marvellous!

Mama Michelle, hope you're doing well, girl. National treasure this band was...

Holy crap...56 years ago! All those kids are at least 74 now.

One of the best band during hippie time . Thanks

Ah! The memories!! Saw them live twice, the first time in a small venue just after California Dreamin" hit the charts. Their live performances were something else! I still have their LPs I bought when they came out. There will never be another group like them!

Amazing! This is a piece of music history. Both the images and music.

I'm 66 years old. Wish I had been an adult in 1967. I remember my mother was going to go to Woodstock but she had 3 kids. No one to stay with us for a week or so. Songs about love. No hip hop kill the police music. A time with less violence.

What an absolute treat to hear the Mamas and the Papas so RAW!

Denny and Cass voices are critical to the sound of the Mama’s & Papa’s without these 2 I don’t believe they become stars !! John’s song writing skills on full display here !!Thank You for the music Mama’s & Papa’s

I'd love to be a time traveler and go back to see this concert!

I've always loved them since I was 8 years old that was in 1972 I listen to mostly classic Rock but these guys were so GREAT and I had a crush on Michelle 💖

The music, colorful clothes styles; so wish I’d have been there. Born 10 years too late. Cass Elliot is wonderful! Absolutely love her reaction from audience to Janis Joplin’s performance “Wow man, heavyy” ☮️🎶

Denny Doherty...what a voice..oh yeah😊

Brilliant band were the Mamas and Papas. My favourite song of theirs was Twelve Thirty, Young girls are coming to the canyon. In 1967 they were ahead of their time. Wonderful harmonies.

The talent, modesty, humor, melodies, compassion, beauty, cohesiveness, and connection. This was an era that has now long since faded into our distant memory. I was so fortunate to grow up in this time period and feel sorry for the youth of today. I truly believe that they have no idea what true living is, what true talent is, what true art, beauty and connection is. I am older now, but I wouldn't trade it for anything to be young in todays world. I have something that no one will ever take away from me....The memories of the events that I lived oh so grandly with my eyes wide open, breathing, moving, laughing, looking into the sky and knowing that I was, and that I am truly alive.

Great to hear Scott Mackenzie. Loved his song about if you are going to San Francisco to wear some flowers in your hair. Great voice!

Their harmony is spot on. We’ve since learned their time as a group was so complicated. John P wasn’t quite as wonderful as we all thought. It saddened me to read about their true story.😢 I will always remember them with their awesome music forever❤

My Mom used to play their albums on the hifi in our living room, '68. This is the first time I've seen/heard this live version, but I still listen to those albums. They're as fresh as the day they were released, 50 years ago. I will never tire of listening to them.

Cass leading and keeping ‘Dancing In The Street’ on track was a beautiful thing to watch, she was such a great performer, I’m amazed, sheeesh!

55 years ago. So much has happened and changed. Most of those people then are now very old if not gone. They were all so young and healthy. Peaceful and starting to push back against the Viet-Nam war. I was 7 and mostly into the Beatles. I didn't find the Momma's and the Pappa's until I returned to the States in 1975. By then Cass was gone, and the music was Disco. When I lived in San Fransico, all I was into were these festival songs, Donna Sommer, and of course The Beatles. By then, they too had gone their separate ways. I wish I had been a few years older to appreciate and known all these wonderful groups when they were with us and in their prime. Thanks for posting this historic clip. Thanks for the music and the memories RIP.

John Phillips was surely one of the finest pop songwriters of the 1960s, and yet is never really spoken about. If it was Brian Wilson or Lennon/McCartney who wrote "Twelve Thirty", "Strange Young Girls", "Dancing Bear", "I Saw Her Again", these songs would be seen as sacred. Mama Cass is rightfully the most well-known figure of the group, but John really deserves massive credit for his songwriting genius.

60's child here. I grew up with this stuff.

Saw them in New Orleans with Scott McKenzie of “San Francisco” fame in the band……a John Philips song. Great band, great music.

This band's "hipness" was completely overshadowed by their commercial success and "pop" ularity. In retrospect, they were quite a cool group.

Till 83 I was a hippie and now keep on listening to them. I love M&P.

At least I was lucky enough to see The new Mamas & papas, starring Mackenzie Phillips, and Spanky McFarland, with special guest star Scott McKenzie. This was back in 1989. The same year that the city of Monterey had their second Monterey Pop festival. Granted, nothing can even compare it to the first and original one, but it was a 3-day event, on the very same fairgrounds as the original, and they had a lot of terrific artists. There was Randy Hansen who is the greatest Jimi Hendrix impersonator. I was also able to see a Janis Joplin impersonator too, who was really good. A lot of wonderful local musicians and vendors who were selling arts and crafts. I also got to see Jeff Healey, and Billy Preston. I wore my tye dye shirts, lived off of vendor food, and had to sleep in the backseat of my car, since I couldn't get a hotel room. Great memories! Thanks.

I honestly think I like this music better now than I did when it was new. This is some great stuff right here, eternally etched into the cosmic record. I hope I live to see another incarnation of this level of musicianship and songwriting.

These guys were so good. They may looked strange but could ever sing! Mama's and Papas make great records and John Phillips was an amazing songwriter and vastly under appreciated for it.❤

John Phillips what is a master at arranging vocal harmonies. He also wrote some wonderful songs. Cass Elliot was, well, she was Cass Elliot. RIP Mama Cass.❤💚☮️😊

What a great show, Mama Cass was an amazing singer. My 13 year old daughter loves the Mamas and the Papas. Thank you for the video.

I can't believe ive not seen this whole set before. The Mamas & the papas sound great live. Fantastic film.

So much turbulence and pain was to come but for a brief moment all was well in the world.

This is fantastic! Thank you. God, Cass was amazing - so smart, funny, supportive and what a voice!

Brilliant aren't they WAHOO!!my favourite's Mama's n Papa's beautiful singer's💜✌️

Great finally seeing them singing Live.

The Late great Joe Osborn, on bass- he played bass on all their hits- and on so many other hits- it's pretty amazing. One of the most recorded electric bassists in history.

Mama Cass apaixonante! Maravilhosa 🇧🇷 RIP my dear 🌹❤️

I love Cass Elliot's voice!

The ACID kicked in the middle of DANCONG IN THE STREET! Thank you for this very rare video that is FINALLY seeing the light of day. What a group!

I got into the hippie scene in 1970 at 17. Joined the Army at the height of the drug years in Vietnam when there was somewhat of a mutiny among the troops fed up with the politics of the war. I fell in with the hippie GI's "the heads" as they were called and spent my whole tour overseas stoned on drugs. In 1973 after my time in the Army was over I spent some time in San Francisco near the end of the hippie era. It was a 'trip' for sure. Haven't touched any drugs since 1975 when I got saved and became a Christian. God loves you all.

"Fast Eddie" Hoh played drums on Bloomfield, Kooper and Stills "Super Session Lp, released in 1968. An excellent album.

Monterrey was the Mother of all the great music festivals that followed. Just awesome 'Love Vibes' infused with Ergotine Manna. Man what a Groovy Time it was back then. Music flowed like a river. ❤😊❤

I never thought they were soooo good 😂👍🏻👍🏻🎸🎸🌹🌹

They were something else... true spokespeople of their time and generation.honestly a little before my time..i only wish I could have been there.

GREAT post. Thank you. It's no wonder they were so popular. John Phillips was an excellent songwriter, and the band's vocal harmonies are SUBLIME and second to none.

This version of Spanish Harlem! This one man. The Absolute. I just melted.🌟🌹

"Fast" Eddie Hoh on drums, Joe Osborn on bass, Eric "The Doctor" Hord on electric guitar, and Larry Knechtel on piano. Over the years some of the Mamas and Papas members mentioned that there was little to no rehearsal for that Monterey Festival appearance, and while the performance is a little ragged, it's spirited and energetic. Hard to do a gig when your microphones aren't working correctly. Eddie Hoh played drums on the top-selling "Super Session" album. Hal Blaine was probably stuck in Los Angeles cranking out his usual slate of double-scale sessions. Michelle is the only one still living as of this date. That is if you don't count their producer, Lou Adler, who is 89 as I write this.

Purely Awesome, Real Live 4 Part Harmonies, No Tape or Digital Effects, No In Ear Monitors, No Click Tracks, No Auto Tune, Fully Analog, No BS, WYSIWYG… It’s sad this film was tied up in litigation for so long in order to reveal just how incredibly talented all the musicians were at Monterey Pop in 1967!!!

I've said here on KZfaq adnozzium that Cass had such an unbelievable voice and a great spirit, my god I do miss her !!

One of the best band during hippie time . Thanks ❤

This was actually the Mamas and the Papas performing as a trio sonically. Prior to the Mamas and Papas set , some of the microphones were damaged in The Who's performance. Michelle's microphone was not functioning. In these performances, particularly in "I call your name" At the end of the song you can see her frustration with the microphone. She is said to have run off the stage in tears with the anger and frustration. To those who question her contribution to the sound of the Mamas and the Papas the difference is certainly apparent. This performance of the New Journeyman clearly demonstrate all Michelle brought to the sound of the Mamas and the Papas. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qJyEgs5m0K-cdnU.html

It really was good to see the Mamas & Papas in concert in 1967. Thank you :)

Great 30 minute set, probably their best live set ever.

MaMa Cass and her voice elevated them.

Cass: “My Butterfly’s Bent”…and her maniacal scream…she’s so funny! 😹

This video is an example of True Love. What I would give to go back and fall in love again. I miss what we used to be.

I was there. I lived in PG 10 minutes away from the Festival.

Some rare shots of the great Eddie Hoh on drums

Cass Elliot's vocals really standout!

Denny's lead on Monday Monday is spot on.

Whata band it was !!!! One singer was my Canadian fellow from the Atlantic Province of Nova Scotia !! They were just AWESOME ... even live on the stage !!!! I was in the 3rd year of my Elementary School in Europe, on the other side of so-called: "IRON CURTAIN" !!

Love the people watching concert footage here!! Interesting band visually, and of course, they had that great sound. Also I didn't know that Mama Cass had such sense of humor about herself😏❤

L♡Ve this compilation video ✨️🌟⚡️✨️🌟✨️🌞amazing setlist, too.

Never knew their entire performance was on film and with all the other bands putting in incredible performances this shows how good they were

The pinnacle of the sixties! Beautiful! ❤

Lo estoy viendo el video , soy de mexico tengo 62 años edad Y que EPOCA Y MUSICA

Those were the days, my friend, we thought they’d never end... And we’ll never get them back again....😢

Beautiful Times

I will always love the mamas and the papas, by the time I was born in 70, they were done and Cass left us in 75, there will never be another group like them RIP mama Cass you got the raw end of the deal you will always be loved

Phantastic! Classic! Vocally best Group ever! Whished i had see them for only one time!

Mamas & Papas. Peace & Love 4ever & Ever!❤✌

En el 68 tenía quince años y mi padre se había comprado una furgoneta (2 caballos de segunda mano), la familia estaba entusiasmada y encima tenía radio así que salimos con padre y madre a dar una vuelta por la noche , por la carretera desde Barcelona a Castelldefels estaba super oscura pero no importaban nada, y en la radio sonaba The Mamas and the Papas , desde entonces siempre me ha entusiasmado ese grupo californiano, que forma parte de mi . Manel Aisa

👍Fabulous band fabulous Californian sound! The video is pretty good. Thank you

Wouldn’t u love to hear them jam! I certainly would! 🎼🎉🫶🫶

You can hear Denny count off the vocal at 1:20. So cool.

They are the best... I love Mama Cass

hitching one day to a final exam in '68 at UCLA in Beverly Glen canyon, i got picked up by John Phillips, who was driving a white corvette and had on that sloppy fur hat. we smoked a joint on the way, and i was late for my exam. messed up my Univ career, that did, for a while. but it was worth it. interesting dude.

Cass Elliots voice is so powerful. Amazing to see this concert, it was such a turning point in American music
