On June 18, 1967, Jimi Hendrix made his first major appearance in America at the Monterey Pop Festival. He ended an explosive set with "Wild Thing," then pulled out a can of lighter fluid from behind his amps, poured it over his guitar, and lit it. It resulted in one of the most iconic moments in rock history, and a photo of Jimi Hendrix and his flaming guitar ended up on the cover of Rolling Stone. | Pigeons and Planes
