(View clips of Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix)
"The Monterey Pop Festival ran for three days in June 1967. For most
of the five shows, the arena was jammed to bursting with perhaps as
many as 10,000 people. The live performances were spectacularly
successful. Janis Joplin, who was singing with Big Brother and the
Holding Company, pulled out all the stops with a raw, powerful
performance that helped establish her as the preeminent female rock
singer of her day.
The Who climaxed a brilliant set by smashing their equipment at the
conclusion of "My Generation". Jimi Hendrix (in the American debut of
the Jimi Hendrix Experience) offered an awesome display of his
virtuosity as a guitarist and as a showman, humping his Marshall
amplifiers and then setting his Stratocaster ablaze. Another highlight
was Ravi Shankar's meditative afternoon of Indian ragas. And then
there was Otis Redding, the dynamic soul man turned in what many
present believe was the festival's best performance. ABC offered
$400,000 for network rights to Pennebaker's film (which was released
in theaters after ABC decided it was too far out for the TV
audience)."

The Monterey Pop Festival by Ed Ward
http://www.britannica.com/psychedelic/textonly/monterey.html
"Held in Monterey, Calif., U.S., on June 16-18, 1967, the Monterey Pop
Festival was the first commercial American rock festival. Dunhill
Records executive Lou Adler and John Phillips of the Mamas and the
Papas organized the festival around the concept of the successful
Monterey Jazz Festival and staged it at that festival's site.
Featuring the first major American appearances of Jimi Hendrix, and
the Who, it also introduced Janis Joplin to a large audience and
featured performances by the Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead,
the Byrds, Canned Heat, Buffalo Springfield, Otis Redding, Ravi
Shankar, and many others.
The timing of the festival was fortuitous: major record companies had
just become aware of the commercial potential of the new rock music,
and, as one witness said, "The action wasn't on the stage; it was at
the bar, where the record companies and the managers were in a heated
bidding war." The Who, Joplin, Hendrix, and the short-lived Electric
Flag signed major record deals; Redding was introduced to a white
audience; and the counterculture's music gained new legitimacy, all as
a result of the Monterey Pop Festival.
Filmed by D.A. Pennebaker and recorded (although contractual problems
kept the album that documented the event under wraps for two decades),
the festival was thought to have been very successful. However, a 1968
festival was scrapped when it was discovered that the proceeds from
the first festival had vanished along with the company's bookkeeper."

Monterey Pop Festival From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monterey_Pop_Festival
The Monterey International Pop Music Festival took place from June 16
to June 18, 1967.
Held at the Monterey County Fairgrounds in Monterey, California. It
was planned by producer Lou Adler, John Phillips of The Mamas & the
Papas, producer Alan Pariser, and publicist Derek Taylor. The artists
performed for free, with all revenue donated to charity. Over 200 000
people attended the festival, and it is generally regarded as the
beginning of the Summer of Love.
It was the first American appearance of Jimi Hendrix and The Who, and
the first major exposure for people like Janis Joplin and Otis
Redding. Many record company executives were in attendance, and many
of the performers won recording contracts based on their appearance at
the festival. It was the first major rock festival held in the U.S.
and became the model for future festivals, notably Woodstock.
