By Jack Brummet

47 years ago today: The Monterey Pop Festival

By Jack Brummet, American Music Ed.

On June 16, 1967, the three day Monterey Pop Festival in California began.  The performers played for free and all proceeds went to charity.  This was the birth of "the summer of love."  

The festival included the first major appearances of many bands that would come to dominate music over the next few years, . .and decades,   Among the bands and performers:  The Who, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin, The Byrds, Grateful Dead, Otis Redding, Simon & Garfunkel, The Steve Miller Band, Canned Heat, The Mamas And The Papas, Jefferson Airplane, Buffalo Springfield, and The Electric Flag,
