Monterey Pop Festival, June 18, 1967
The Who guitarist Pete Townshend smashes
his guitar at the end of their performance of "My Generation", the
audience were stunned as Townshend began smashing his guitar, amid smoke bombs
and frightened concert staff rushing onstage to scurry expensive microphones to
safety. The Who, after winning a coin toss, performed before Jimi Hendrix, as
Townshend and Hendrix each refused to go on after the other - both having
planned an instrument-demolishing conclusion to their respective sets. (Monterey County Herald Archives)
