It was the Summer of Love—two years before the hysteria of Woodstock—and those three days at the Monterey County Fairgrounds in June 1967 captured the sound of a new generation. Within months, unknowns such as Jimi Hendrix and the Experience, The Who and Janis Joplin would be world-famous. But at the Monterey Pop Festival, they were just staking their claim on the future of rock. Monterey Pop features over 100 photographs of the event, taken by legendary photojournalist Jim Marshall and accompanied by an in-depth text by Joel Selvin that includes firsthand recollections from such participants as David Crosby, Jerry Garcia, Country Joe McDonald, Al Kooper and many others.
