Monterey Pops! An International Pop Festival (2)
Michael Lydon, unpublished, for Newsweek, 20 June 1967
Part Two
DAY TWO was over and Sunday came grey and cold, but the excitement was still there and growing. Could anyone believe what had happened, what might happen? Hours of noise had both deafened and opened thousands of minds. One had lived in sound for hours: the ears had come to dominate the senses. Ears rung as one slept; dreams were audible as well as visual.
