Early History
When Jimi Hendrix lit his guitar aflame at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival, he was part of an era that introduced what is known today as The Summer of Love. It was the beginning of a musical revolution that included bands like Big Brother & The Holding Company, The Who, and Jefferson Airplane. Not only were these bands wild and unafraid to share their passion on stage, they also took full advantage of the new technologies available that could make their instruments sound different than anything that had been heard of previously.
