The Monterey International Pop Music Festival
The Monterey International Pop Music Festival was a three-day concert event held June 16 to June 18, 1967, at the Monterey County Fairgrounds in Monterey, California.[1] The festival is remembered for the first major American appearances by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, the Who and Ravi Shankar, the first large-scale public performance of Janis Joplin and the introduction of Otis Redding to a mass American audience.

The Monterey Pop Festival embodied the theme of California as a focal point for the counterculture and is generally regarded as one of the beginnings of the "Summer of Love" in 1967;[2] the first rock festival had been held just one week earlier at Mount Tamalpais in Marin County, the KFRC Fantasy Fair and Magic Mountain Music Festival.Because Monterey was widely promoted and heavily attended, featured historic performances, and was the subject of a popular theatrical documentary film, it became an inspiration and a template for future music festivals, including the Woodstock Festival two years later. Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner said, "Monterey was the nexus – it sprang from what the Beatles began, and from it sprang what followed."

Fifty years ago, the idea of the rock festival was hatched with a simple but bold ambition: to get the same respect as jazz.
Lou Adler, the Los Angeles record producer and ageless hipster, recalls a meeting in the spring of 1967 where he, Paul McCartney and the Mamas and the Papas — the group that rode “California Dreamin’” to stardom on Mr. Adler’s label, Dunhill — discussed what became the Monterey International Pop Festival.

“The conversation drifted toward the fact that rock ’n’ roll was not considered an art form in the way that jazz was,” said Mr. Adler, who at 83 still sports shades and a whitened Daddy-O beard. “With the possibility of doing something at Monterey, at the same place as the jazz festival, it just seemed like a validation to us.”

Monterey Pop, held June 16 to 18, 1967, at the fairgrounds in Monterey, Calif., down the coast from San Francisco, was pivotal in rock’s evolution as a force in the entertainment business and the culture at large. It served as the blueprint for the explosion of rock festivals that culminated in Woodstock, and with its crowds of face-painted hippies and slogan of “music, love and flowers,” Monterey defined the look, spirit and sound of the Summer of Love.

The impact of the festival’s performances is hard to comprehend now, when buzz bands can crash and burn on social media before ever going on tour. Monterey was the breakout moment for Jimi Hendrix, who lit his guitar on fire, and Janis Joplin, who was quickly signed by another fresh face in the business, Clive Davis of Columbia Records. The Who, Ravi Shankar and Otis Redding got some of their first exposure to the American mainstream there.
“It was a great hang,” said Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead, who recalled a backstage jam where Hendrix sheepishly asked if he could sit in on bass. “Everybody was there — everybody but the Beatles.”
