Rewind 1967: A 40 Year Celebration

The Monterey Pop Festival was the pivotial point of the year 1967, when on June 16th through the 18th, it featured a historic lineup of superstar artists and bands. For many, it was their debut and a showcase of taste and talent.

We pay a salute to the artists, bands, organizers, volunteers and the fans who made this event happen in rock and roll history. Lucky for us all three of the concerts were recorded in high quality audio and video.

Janis Joplin sang with Big Brother & The Holding Company and they later recorded their first album that same year. Canned Heat came Rollin' and Tumblin' in with the blues. Jimi Hendrix experienced his firey debut performance. The Mamas & The Papas sang Dedicated To The One I Love, and The Association played "Along Comes Mary." The Byrds rocked out with "So You Want To Be A Rock 'N' Roll Star," and Eric Burdon & The Animals treated us to"San Franciscan Nights."
