Rock out to this playlist of legendary ‘60s coun Rock out to this playlist of legendary ‘60s counterculture artists!

Artists like Jefferson Airplane, Big Brother and The Holding Company featuring @janisjoplin, and @gratefuldead were all at the forefront of the psychedelic rock movement in San Francisco. Throughout the ‘60s, the San Francisco scene brought music, art, fashion and the “Summer of Love” in ‘67. It led to artistic and social experimentation, and an abundance of psychedelic music which became the central part of the movement.

“‘Wow man, who’s that?’ And Paul said, ‘ “‘Wow man, who’s that?’ And Paul said, ‘Oh, that’s Jorma Kaukonen; he teaches guitar upstairs. He’s a great guitar player.’ I said, ‘We should have him join our band.’ And Paul said, ‘Oh no. He’s really good.’ Then I said, ‘Paul, that’s what we want (laughs).
