Producer D.A. Pennebaker

On a beautiful June weekend in 1967 at the height of the so-called "summer of love," the first and only Monterey International Pop Festival roared forward -- capturing a decade's spirit and ushering in a new era of rock and roll. Monterey would launch the careers of Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Otis Redding, but they were just a few among a wildly diverse lineup including Simon & Garfunkel, The Mamas and the Papas, The Who, The Byrds, Hugh Masekela, and the extraordinary Ravi Shankar.

Notes
With his characteristic verite style, D.A. Pennebaker captured it all, immortalizing those moments that have become legend: Pete Townsend destroying his guitar; Jimi Hendrix burning his.
