This Day in Rock History - June 16th

1967: What would quickly become known as “the Summer of Love” kicks off in California on this day when the Monterey Pop Festival opens. Among the acts: Eric Burdon and the Animals, the Association, Booker T. and the MGs, the Byrds, the Mamas and the Papas, the Who, and several relatively new acts such as Canned Heat, the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Otis Redding, Simon and Garfunkel, and the Steve Miller Band.

Top ticket price for the event is $6.50 and a documentary of the event by filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker, released two years later helps cement the fame of both the event and several of its top acts.
