shame on you for being a music writer and never hearing this. I played this record every single day for 2 years when I was in high school.
Can't wait to listen to this.
Respect is Otis's own, not a cover, which explains why he says "that little girl stole my song."
Redding's entire Montery Pop show is on the Montery Pop DVD set, and there is a new Stax Revue live in Scandinavia DVD out also w/Arthur Conely, the Markays, Sam & Dave, and Booker T and the MGs. It's fucking awesome.
The videos mentioned by nipper are definitely worth checking out. Also, if you liked the Monterey performance, check out the Live in Europe album with the same Booker T & the MGs/Mar-keys line-up as at Monterey; and Live at the Whisky a Go-Go album, which featured his road band, the Bar-kays (6 person horn section!).
Both Redding's and Devo's covers of Satisfaction kick the shit out of the original.
tons of vid from the monterey performance on youtube ...
