If you can find a copy of the album recording of the Monterrey Pop Music Festival, listen to Redding's performance. He was backed by Booker T. and the MGs (who had a couple hits of their own) and it showed a man at the height of his vocal powers. Outside of Janis Joplin's performance and Jimi Hendrix's, nobody there came close. It truly was shame he was taken from us way to soon.
