Live: Ravi Shankar At The Monterey International Pop Festival is a 1967 album by Ravi Shankar. It is the full recording from the historic music festival in California on 18 June, 1967. He is joined by Alla Rakha on tabla and Kamala on tamboura. This is from the 1998 CD on Angel Records.
A rainstorm could have prevented Ravi Shankar from playing at the Monterey International Pop Festival. But in the afternoon of June 18, 1967, he, Alla Rakha, and Kamala walked on stage and for 45 minutes, the rainfall stopped. It was with this performance, and his appearance in the film, that gave him (at the age of 47) rock star and guru status, even though he rejected both notions.
