JA Pt 12: The Summer Of Love Pit-Stop—The Full Story Behind The First Rock Festival & The First Bootleg Record (The Magic Mountain Music Festival & Bob Dylan’s The Great White Wonder) (Ep. 267B)
DiscograffitiShow Notes
Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. Part 12 of the series takes a brief breather from the Jefferson Airplane trajectory, as we broaden our focus to take in two historically significant musical firsts that went down during the Summer of Love—the very first rock and pop music festival (The Magic Mountain Music Festival, held one week before Monterey Pop!), and the very first bootleg record (Bob Dylan’s The Great White Wonder).

Four years ago, a guy named Rudy Fischmann started listening to Discograffiti. He signed up for Patreon. I reached out to him, and we became fast friends. He’s 54—just three months older than me—and he told me during our first conversation that he had brain cancer. He began making this show—in case you’re unfamiliar with it, I’m pretty sure The Discograffiti Soldiers of Sound Podcast is the world’s only podcast within a podcast. And yet here we are, 150 episodes later, and Rudy has created a show that’s lasted far longer than most regular podcasts. And it’s literalized the Discograffiti community, bringing folks together far and wide as friends, collaborators, and…hell, possibly even as lovers, as far as I know.
