On a beautiful June weekend in 1967, at the beginning of the Summer of Love, the first 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 among a wildly diverse cast that included Simon and Garfunkel, the Mamas and the Papas, the Who, the Byrds, and Ravi Shankar. D.A. Pennebaker captured it all, immortalizing moments that have become legend: Pete Townshend destroying his guitar, Jimi Hendrix burning his. Join fellow music lovers and history buffs for an extraordinary film and lively discussion with Asheville music journalist and author Bill Kopp, at the Grail Moviehouse in the RAD, on Monday, June 12th at 7 PM! Sponsored by 103.3 Asheville FM. Bring a friend! Watch trailer here: TICKETS
