Trace the footsteps of the hippie counterculture that reshaped American music, art, and politics. Visit the homes where Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and The Grateful Dead lived and played. Stand in the Panhandle where free concerts rattled the windows, and in Golden Gate Park where thousands gathered for the Human Be-In.
This is the story of a neighborhood, a movement, and a summer that the world has never quite stopped talking about.
