June 16-18, 1967 The three day Monterey Pop Festival in California began. All the proceeds went to charity when all the artists agreed to perform for free. The event transcends music and entertainment, becoming an emblem of the counterculture that many hold as the beginning of the Summer of Love. The festival saw the first major US appearances by The Who, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. Also on the bill: The Byrds, Grateful Dead, Simon And Garfunkel, The Steve Miller Band, The Mamas & the Papas,
