Trivia
Redding was notorious for forgetting the lyrics to his own songs, and a good example of it is his performance of "Respect," in which he essentially sings the same verse ("Hey, little girl...") over and over again.

Quotes
Otis Redding: We're gonna slow it down this time and sing a soulful number. This song is a song that, you know, we all ought to sing sometime. This is the love crowd, right? We all love each other, don't we? Am I right? Let me hear you say yeah then!
Crowd: Yeah!
Otis Redding: All right.
[singing]
Otis Redding: I've been - loving you - too long - to stop now, You were tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiired and you want to be free, My love is growing stronger, as you become a habit to me...

no more, no less

It's June 17, 1967 Monterey, California. Tommy Smothers comes on stage and introduces Otis Redding. It's twenty minutes of Otis performing. This is exactly what you expect, no more, no less. Sure, it's great for fans but it's great for any music lovers. His music is easy to love. There is one weird thing that the filmmakers did with "Try a Little Tenderness". They took the words "Young girls they do get wearied" to literally start a montage of every girl at the festival. It's a little weird and a little stalkery. Maybe I'm being too sensitive.
