Monterey Pop Festival anniversary!

It was on this date in '67 that it began. My fave music festival - the last time that you'd see a real mix of pop, soul & rock - AM & FM performers. The DVD on it is awesome. It made or solidified the popularity and reputations of the Mamas & Papas, Hugh Masekela, the Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin with Big Brother & The Holding Company, Canned Heat, Otis Redding, the Who, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Laura Nyro, the Association, the Buffalo Springfield, Ravi Shankar, Eric Burdon & the Animals, the Byrds, Simon & Garfunkel, Country Joe & The Fish, Al Kooper, the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, and Quicksilver Messenger Service. Essential.
