1967 was the year that the recording studio as an instrument changed the way music is created; that the album as a united concept changed the way it is heard; that the festival experience remade the way music is celebrated live. Pop music became big business. If rock and roll was born in the 1950s, then by 1967 - for better or worse - it had grown up. Explore landmark releases by The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Love and the Velvet Underground. Out went the teen-driven single ... in came the album as art. They also look back at the historic Monterey International Pop Festival - a coming out party for Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Otis Redding that said to the world "rock and roll is here to stay".
