Weekend Monterey Music Threefer

 

On June 16, 17, and 18, 1967, the Monterey International Pop Festival was held in Monterey, California. The festival not only kicked off 1967's "Summer of Love" and all the "flower power" vibes attending it, but also marked the emergence of several major stars all gone before their time, notably Janis Joplin (on the 17th), Otis Redding (also on the 17th), and Jimi Hendrix (on the 18th).  Here are their iconic performances of "Ball and Chain," "I've Been Loving You Too Long," and "Foxey Lady", respectively.  Hope you enjoy.
