“Monterey” #15 1/13/1968

Among the many performers that played the Monterey Pop Festival in June 1967 were Eric Burdon and the Animals. Like those acts, the event mightily shaped their future musical endeavors. Eric and the band wrote this biographical song about the three-day concert. “His Majesty, Prince Jones” was Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones, who was not only an MC but mingled with the crowd in a regal manner. A very early concept video for the song here.
