Bob Dylan did receive an invitation, but he declined due to the fact that he was still recovering from his motorcycle accident the previous year. Hendrix paid tribute to him by covering "Like a Rolling Stone".

Ver unlikely as Hendrix was covering the song as early as Feb.67. It's probably just a coincidence not a tribute.

I was thinking today about another "tribute" that Jimi played at Monterey...when he played a snippet of "Strangers In The Night" in the middle of his cover of "Wild Thing."
I guess because Frank Sinatra was the founder of his U.S. record label, Reprise.

Was lucky enough to visit the site a few years back and it's still there in all its pristine glory. But it's far smaller than I imagined, especially bearing in mind that they could easily have got a crowd of 50,000 had the event happened in Golden Gate Park.
Luckily I even got to walk on the stage and unleashed my inner Hendrix. Ha.

oh is that Oldham in the pic with Brian? I wonder why he would have been there for the 50th when the Stones did not play the festival.

Strange that Brian, who of course had recently been busted 'was able' to attend but not Mick and/or Keith.
Of all the musicians Paul Simon seems to be the one who has maintained his creativity and profile the most.

Busted but not yet convicted.
He was arrested in May but didn't go to trial until the end of October when he received a nine month prison sentence which was later changed to three years probation.

As far as I recall Mick and Keith had not been convicted, I believe their trial took place end of July.
Of course Keith never had much time for the peace and love movement..so wouldn't have thought he was that interested in attending the festival.
One final opportunity for Brian to be centre stage (sort of).
And of course take some new(ish) drugs: STP and DMT.
Or that guy from Jordan's Furniture.Quote
