MONTEREY POP

Original 1978 Re-Release British 30 inch x 40 inch Quad Poster for the 1968 D.A. Pennebaker Music Documentary MONTEREY POP starring Jimi Hendrix, The Mamas and the Papas, Canned Heat, Jefferson Airplane, Simon and Garfunkel, Eric Burdon and The Animals, The Who, Scott McKenzie, Hugh Masekela, Big Brother & The Holding Company and Otis Redding.

On a beautiful June weekend in 1967, at the beginning of the Summer of Love, the Monterey International Pop Festival roared forward, capturing a decade’s spirit and ushering in a new era of rock and roll. Monterey featured career-making performances by Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Otis Redding, but they were just a few of the performers in a wildly diverse lineup that also included Simon and Garfunkel, the Mamas and the Papas, the Who, the Byrds, Hugh Masekela, and the extraordinary Ravi Shankar. With his characteristic vérité style—and a camera crew that included the likes of Albert Maysles and Richard Leacock—D. A. Pennebaker captured it all, immortalizing moments that have become legend: Pete Townshend smashing his guitar, Jimi Hendrix burning his.
