Celebration at Big Sur
Held just one month after the Woodstock festival in 1969, the Big Sur Folk Festival featured standard bearers like Joan Baez while inviting new kids on the block like Joni Mitchell and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. Baird Bryant and Johanna Demetrakas’s film was released in 1971, a year after Michael Wadleigh’s historic Woodstock. Sadly more idiosyncratic acts like The Flying Burrito Brothers and The Incredible String Band were left on the cutting room floor but Celebration at Big Sur still has plenty to celebrate.
