1967 Fantasy Fair and Magic Mountain Music Festival (home movie)

The Summer of Love of 1967 (wiki)

(Digitalbondo) The Summer of Love was 50 years ago, way back in 1967. The KFRC Fantasy Fair and Magic Mountain Music Festival ran from June 10th to the 11th, 1967. Here are home movies (from a kind of recording time machine) of The Seeds, Country Joe and the Fish, The Jefferson Airplane, and The Byrds by John Cuniberti. Music by The Byrds.

Why is summer for love? - It's the outfits.

June 10, 1967, was an important day for the Summer of Love and for music history.

Exactly one week later than its originally scheduled date (inclement weather the previous weekend having postponed it for a week), the Fantasy Fair and Magic Mountain Music Festival kicked off on Mount Tamalpais in Marin County, next to San Francisco.

Over two days (June 10-11, 1967), tens of thousands of music fans (many of the shiny hippies) would participate in the first rock festival in American history.

While the Monterey Pop Festival is often credited with being the first rock music festival in history, in fact it was the “Fantasy Fair” that deserves the honor.

Led by KFRC, an AM radio station, the festival featured the Doors, Jefferson Airplane, the Byrds, Sons of Champlin, and many other bands that were gaining notice throughout California and beyond.

The event was designed as a benefit...in San Francisco. More: America's First Rock Festival: The KFRC Fantasy Fair and Magic Mountain Music Festival - Summer of Love
