(Book)

Includes bibliographical references, discography, and index.

A complete rock music history of 1967 and the summer of love. During late spring 1967, tens of thousands of young people began streaming into San Francisco, kicking off a counterculture explosion that was the Summer of Love. Now, on the 50th anniversary of that revolutionary even, acclaimed journalist and pop culture historian Harvey Kubernik takes us on an insider's look at the happenings in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and beyond - in the months leading up to, during, and after that seminal summer - through the lens of rock music. This lush volume features little known and previously unpublished interviews with scenemakers and musicians of the time and the people who knew them; psychedelic festival posters, concert flyers, and other 1960s ephemera; and stunning images from acclaimed photographers of the era.
