Album Info: Historic performances recorded at the Monterey International Pop Festival 16,17, 18 June 1967

Album Info: Jimi Hendrix performed on the final evening of the festival, June 18, 1967. Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones, who did not perform at the festival, introduced The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Hendrix was almost entirely unknown in America at that time but was very well known amongst the rock stars of London, where he had been playing club gigs and recruiting the members of his trio.

Album Info: Otis Redding was at the pinnacle of his career at that time. He was booked as the closing act on the Saturday night of the festival, June 17, 1967. Otis came to the stage following a set by his backup band, Booker T. & the MG's. However, Otis' high charged performance ran into a time limit under the festival's permit, resulting in his having time to perform only 5 short songs. Otis died less than 6 months later.

Band Description:

  Jimi Hendrix was an iconic American musician and one of the most influential guitarists of the 20th century. Born in Seattle, Washington in 1942, Hendrix began playing the guitar as a teenager and soon gained a reputation as a skilled musician.
