About this photograph
Guitar legend Jimi Hendrix is photographed on his knees, setting his Fender Stratocaster alight while performing "Fire" at the Monterey Pop Music Festival in California on June 18, 1967. This was the first time Ed Caraeff took photos of Hendrix and this photograph is widely regarded as one of the most iconic photos in rock history, and the only image to appear twice on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. Ed Caraeff was only 17 at the time he took the photo and it was his first trip away from home 400 miles away.
Ed admits, "I was alerted before his performance by another photographer, from Germany, down in the photography pit. He asked me if I knew about Jimi Hendrix; I said no, and he said, 'Save some film for this Jimi Hendrix cat, he’s real wild.' So that’s all I knew."
