41st Anniversary of The Monterey International Pop Festival
It really has been 41 years since the "summer of love" took a whole generation in a totally new direction. Many have reflected on that particular June weekend in '67 at the fairgrounds in Monterey, California ... three days of "Peace, Love and Flowers". That was the Monterey International Pop Festival. The HOP 178 commemorated the occasion with a very special weekend of "live" musical selections from The Monterey Pop Festival on Friday June 20 through Sunday June 22. The on-air festivities are just part of the fun so be sure to visit some of the cool web sites listed below. I strongly recommend picking up a copy of the Criterion Collection DVD...it is chock full 'o great performances and tons of extras. Enjoy!!
