Who remembers the 60's?

Grew up around Phila. Went to concerts mostly at a place called the electric factory in 67. Saw steppenwolf, the who, amboy dukes and many others. Hung around the art museum and got wasted every weekend during summer. there was always " love ins" and concerts at Fairmont park a big place where all the local freaks met. Weed was always abundant and was some best i ever smoked. Good memories.

Another Doors gem

if you remember the 60s, you're either lying, or didn't do anything worth remembering

You're the first to get the joke. Or at least to comment on it.

You are a little older than I am. I didn't really listen to rock in the 60's as I was 9 years old in 1970. But I did have an older sister with lots of records.

I did see the tail end of the hippy days up close and personal. Mamma, Sister and I were in the Smokey Mountains in the summer of '72 and heard about a big show in Rockingham NC. Sister was 17 at the time, and talked Mamma into letting her go to the show. It was a three day deal. Peach Tree Festival, or something like that. All the big bands were there. {We saw Fleetwood Mac in our hotel pool} Faces cancelled, so Alice Cooper what the headliner. And about 200K hippies. {my first time seeing large scale public nudity}

Rockingham is so small, I could hear the show from back at the hotel.
