Monterey Pop 40th Anniversary 5 1/2 Hour Extravaganza on WMBR's Lost & Found Program

Hosted by:

Originally aired:

On June 18th, exactly 40 years from the last day of the Monterey International Pop Festival, we will broadcast live an extended 5 1/2-hour program (noon-5:30) featuring LOTS of unreleased material from the fest (none of it in the 4-CD box set, the DVD box set, or the newly released Starbucks 2-CD set). Larry Miller and I will host the proceedings, me playing the curious, vicarious thrillseeker (and I've got all the rare musical goodies!), Larry playing (this ain't no act, kids!) the old unruffled hippie who WAS THERE (not to mention that he was likely the nation's first progressive FM rock dj on San Francisco's KMPX back in early 1967)! In addition, although Al Kooper (The Blues Project, Blood, Sweat & Tears, solo artist), assistant stage manager and a performer at the festival, will be recording in Los Angeles on the day of our Monterey Pop Special, he was kind enough to record 10 minutes worth of responses to my email questions. We will, of course, air this on the show. Plus a pair of tickets will be given away every hour to the July 1st Summer of Love Tour stop at the Northampton Fairgrounds, featuring Jefferson Starship, Big Brother & the Holding Company, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Tom Constanten (former keyboardist in The Grateful Dead), and the music of It's a Beautiful Day with original members David and Linda LaFlamme We'll see what other treats we can drum up, but you'll surely want to tune in for some amazing music and recollecting!

Location: 88.1 FM
