Experience the 1967 Monterey International Pop Festival through more than 200 photographs by legendary photographer Jim Marshall. This deluxe volume reveals the artists, energy, and unforgettable atmosphere of three days that reshaped popular music. This is the ultimate record of the extraordinary weekend in Monterey, California, when Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and the Who exploded onto the American consciousness. The festival brought together groundbreaking artists, including Jefferson Airplane, Simon and Garfunkel, the Mamas and the Papas, Otis Redding, Ravi Shankar, and the Grateful Dead. Set against the backdrop of the Summer of Love, Monterey Pop introduced the bold, blues-inspired, psychedelic-fueled sound that rocked a generation—and Jim Marshall was there for it all, bottling its lightning through his lens. Trusted by the artists and able to move freely among them, he documented musicians commanding the stage, quieter encounters behind the scenes, and the iconic moment when Hendrix set his guitar on fire. This deluxe edition features: More than 200 photographs, including never-before-seen images from Marshall's archive. Joel Selvin on the festival's origins and lasting significance. Jorma Kaukonen's firsthand account of performing with Jefferson Airplane. Amelia Davis and Mathieu Bitton on Marshall's photographic legacy. Together, the visual archive and accompanying essays transport readers to a remarkable gathering of some of the era's most exciting musicians that helped establish a new model for the modern rock festival. JIM MARSHALL AT MONTEREY POP: In addition to being one of the greatest rock-and-roll photographers, Jim Marshall was a peer, colleague, and friend to many of his subjects. He captured the festival with unmatched access, documenting both its legendary performances and the candid moments offstage. A DEFINING MOMENT OF THE 1960s: Monterey Pop brought together an extraordinary range of performers at a pivotal moment, helping launch careers and usher in a new era of live music. MORE THAN 200 PHOTOGRAPHS: This substantially expanded edition includes twice as many images as the original 1992 volume, with rare and never-before-seen work from Marshall's archive. THE INSIDE SCOOP: In addition to the jaw-dropping photos, in-depth essays explore how Monterey Pop came to be, what it felt like on the festival grounds, and why Marshall's work remains so important. A PREMIUM COLLECTOR'S VOLUME: Exceptional reproduction and a handsome hardcover design make this an essential addition to the shelves of classic rock devotees, photography enthusiasts, and collectors of finely produced art books.
