Movie Background

Monterey Pop

Featuring performances by iconic 1960s artists, this concert film spotlights the music from the 1967 California festival. Although not every musician who performed at the Monterey Pop Festival appears on film, several notable acts are included, among them the Mamas and the Papas, Simon & Garfunkel, Jefferson Airplane, the Who, Otis Redding, and the Jimi Hendrix Experience. The film captures Hendrix's post-performance antics—lighting a guitar on fire, breaking it, and tossing a part into the audience.
