PARLIAMENT’s superfunky song “Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker),” off their hit 1975 album Mothership Connection, was the band’s first million-selling single.

This is a Bluescentric Brand official Monterey Pop Festival retro ringer tee. Every sale directly benefits MPOP. The material is 4.3 oz 100% combed ringspun cotton fine jersey with side seams and contrasting 1x1 baby rib binded collar and sleeves. 

It was the hottest ticket of 1967 -- June 16, 17 and 18 at the Monterey County Fairgrounds featured performances by Janis Joplin, Otis Redding, The Grateful Dead, The Butterfield Blues Band, Booker T and the MGs, and The Who's first-ever U.S. performance, where Pete Townshend smashed his guitar in a famous finalé. It was also Jimi Hendrix's U.S. debut, so not to be outdone, he set fire to his own guitar "as a sacrifice".

MPOP would be the blueprint for nearly all music festivals that came after, including Woodstock two years later. 

This design is drawn from an original 1967 Monterey Pop day-two front stage ticket. The text reads Monterey International Pop Music Festival, June 17th, 19967 and the location, Monterey County Fairgrounds.
