Summary

In June 1967, an estimated 200,000 people converged upon the northern California coast for a weekend of "music, love, and flowers." Over three glorious days, 32 acts made their music known. Monterey would launch the careers of Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Otis Redding, but they were just a few among a wildly diverse cast.
