There's no arguing that various trappings of San Francisco culture at the time (the hippies and their flower power; the rampant consumption of LSD) now seem \"dated,\" as host Casey Kasem puts it. But even if these performances aren't great from a purely audiovisual standpoint, there's a certain timeless appeal to songs like Van Morrison's \"Domino\" (the Irish-born Morrison relocated to Northern California early on in his career) and the Grateful Dead's \"Truckin'\" (others featured include Steve Miller, Santana, Country Joe and the Fish, and Janis Joplin with Big Brother \u0026amp; the Holding Company). There are some flaws: lumping Morrison and Santana in with the others under the banner of psychedelia is convenient but inaccurate; not all of the tunes come from the '60s (let alone the '67 \"Summer of Love,\" as the cover suggests); and with just six songs and a total of 38 minutes, it's way too short. But at least there's no lip-syncing, and overall, the program effectively evokes a thrilling time in rock history. --Sam Graham\n\nProduct Description\n\nIn the \"Summer of Love,\" when Haight-Asbury was the center of the hippie universe, musicians began exploring the boundaries of rock and roll with free-form, blues-inspired song structures that reflected the social and political upheaval of the times.
