A Different Look at the Monterey Pop Festival


T&C

Recommended Posts

I just watched this this morning.  Monterey was coming out party for Janis Joplin and Jimi.  
The Who knew about Jimi, and insisted they went first, because they didn’t want to follow Jimi.  The Who rocked, Townsend smashed his guitar, Moon destroyed his drum kit....then Jimi blew the world away with his performance, he lit his guitar on fire, and took Monterey festival to a higher level.  Then the poor Mamas and papas had to close out after those two monster performances, and an amazing weekend.  Poor hippies 😂

Hendrix didn't want to follow The Who either, for the same reason. They ended up tossing a coin. The Who won, so Hendrix followed them.
