ROCKOLLECTIONS: MONTEREY POP AT 54 PT.1 Yeah I know I am late, I got stuck in a River. Last week marked the 54th Anniversary of the Monterey Pop Festival, held June 16-18 1967. As a matter of fact, these will be Reruns of Shows I did 4 years ago- never mind the ones I did in 2007! So when I say 50...think 54, lol! For some perspective, this was the beginning of the famous Summer Of Love, and the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper was barely 2 weeks old. And I was beginning to be consumed by this wonderful Music, the likes of which I had never heard before. Among the people who put together the Festival in 7 weeks was John Phillips of the Mamas & Papas. Let’s go back 54 years, and have him give the introduction to the weekend and present what might be a surprising Opening Act. And go from there.
