In tonight's episode, Back to the Garden puts on a theatrical experience that recreates the Monterey Pop and Woodstock experience through storytelling.

On Saturday, June 17th, 1967, a 20-year-old woman from Laurel Canyon in Los Angeles, a singer-songwriter, took the big stage at Monterey Pop.

She was awkward, inexperienced.

It was only her second major live appearance.

No one knew that in the years to come her songwriting would strongly influence people like Elton John, Joni Mitchell, and Jackson Browne.

The Back to the Garden band with our friend Lauren remembers the immortal music of Laura Nyro.

We play themed story concerts and we have a storyteller who's gonna speak.

We play shows that are tributes to the music of Woodstock or Monterey Pop: The Beatles; Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young; Eric Clapton.

We aren't a costumed tribute band.

We don't try and look like anybody except ourselves.

Our goal is to give everybody an experience that brings back a lot of memories and we deliver the music in a as--we try to deliver the music in a very authentic way, the way that the artists originally cut it.

Robert: My goal as the storyteller is to tell the audience something that they didn't know.

They know these songs, they've lived with these songs, they grew up with these songs.

These songs are loaded with emotion and they bring back feelings and experiences and so on.

And so what I wanna do is I wanna give them just a little piece of information that connects them to the song in a different way.

Robert: Monterey Pop was a lot of things, but it was definitely not your big sister's folk music festival.

Looking back, as Marc told you, it actually was designed to be the kickoff party for the Summer of Love in 1967, and it was billed as a counterculture celebration, but you know, the culture had already changed and that's why so many of the artists that played at Monterey Pop actually had big hit songs on Top 40 radio.

So really, really, it was the coming out party for the baby boom generation and you know who you are.

And we wanted a different kind of culture provided, provided that it came with a rock and roll soundtrack.

John inherited a lot of money because his grandfather started the company that made this: Poligrip denture adhesive.

Those 3 days in August of 1969 defined a generation and captured its soul.

Woodstock was a real-life, real-time demonstration of the power of peace, love, and music.
