Recorded live on June 18, 1967, this album offers a rare chance to experience Shankar’s sitar artistry alongside the rhythmic intensity of tabla in pieces like \"Raga Bhimpalasi,\" \"Tabla Solo In Ektal,\" and \"Dhun.\" Its presence in the 1968 film Monterey Pop adds a visual layer to this sonic snapshot, inviting listeners into a space where focused, acoustic interplay commands attention without distraction. This isn’t background music; it’s an invitation to sit down and listen closely. This 1967 pressing on World Pacific presents the performance with clarity and care, ideal for those who appreciate the nuances of live Indian classical music. The vinyl here shows a glossy surface with only minor, barely noticeable paper scuffs, suggesting it has been well looked after without any serious wear. For collectors and devoted listeners, this pressing provides an authentic window into Shankar’s influential presence at one of the era’s most eclectic festivals—proof that even in a lineup packed with rock and pop, there was room for a sitar to speak volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003csection data-track-listing=\"true\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTrack listing \u0026amp; samples\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRavi Shankar - Ravi Shankar At The Monterey International Pop Festival\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003eRaga Bhimpalasi\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTabla Solo In Ektal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDhun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embeds\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embed\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-UNF5-uQkpk\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:152px;border:0;border-radius:12px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embed\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/3sXkygk2kpWlNAA2neCvW0\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:152px;border:0;border-radius:12px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Den Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"VG++ \/ VG+ \/ 1967","offer_id":67822840545596,"sku":"DEN00001433","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/9932\/2684\/files\/NC04ODQxLmpwZWc.jpg?v=1792705936"}],"url":"https:\/\/shoptheden.com\/collections\/artist-ravi-shankar.oembed","provider":"The Den New Hope PA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
