Jimi Hendrix at the Monterey Pop Festival in Monterey, California, June 1967. #jimihendrix #montereycalifornia | Americana Music Society

On June 18, 1967, Jimi Hendrix made his first major appearance in America at the Monterey Pop Festival. He ended an explosive set with "Wild Thing," then pulled out a can of lighter fluid from behind his amps, poured it over his guitar, and lit it. It resulted in one of the most iconic moments in rock history, and a photo of Jimi Hendrix and his flaming guitar ended up on the cover of Rolling Stone. | Pigeons and Planes
