Organized by John Phillips of The Mamas and the Papas and inspired by the success of European festivals, Monterey was the first major event of its kind in the USA. In addition to legendary performances by Jimi Hendrix and The Who, it featured the first large audience performances by Janis Joplin and Otis Redding (who tragically died a few months later). Hendrix set his guitar on fire for the first time in public during his performance, a gesture that became iconic in rock culture. I hope you enjoyed this video!
