During the Psychedelic era, bands would tend to write songs that would be abit more whimsical and engaging with lyrics that had mystic imagery and light-hearted themes. The music was uncomplicated and very melodic and stirring with it's simplicity. The songs could be described as "Childlike" as they tended to have an immediate appeal to both children and adults. This show has collec...

We are going to listen to a series of songs that will have us look within ourselves to either be self reflective or perhaps acknowledge shortcomings we might have.

This is inner reflection though perhaps not with a goal of self reali...

We listen in on the bands who played louder and harder than standard pop bands. These were the early instigators of what would be termed as Hard Rock or "Heavy Metal". These bands played with more power and volume to punctuate their impact on audiences that were ready for something more exciting and more 'Street level' than the softer sounds of pop music being heard on A.M. rad...

They had their own scene and their own landmarks to celebrate their music. The San Francisco Sound was a cross between blues, some jug band music and the new electrified sounds that amplified the Bay Area scene. There were extended jams and studio experimentation.

Sometimes the best way to listen to a band is by seeing them live. The Artists get to interact with an audience and use that energy to expand musically on a number or perhaps play with more power and feel. Sometimes their music doesn't translate as well on a studio album but a live performance captures every nuance of their playing. Here are some live performances that capture the power (chor...
