No idea why but this just slid into my consciousness.

What's the quintessential song from the era?  I could never pick just one. I might be able to make up a playlist.

 

I'm old enough to have seen a lot of the music from that era, live. Either at concerts or in clubs.  In NYC, I used to live in the Village, not far from CBGB.  And around the corner was The Bottom Line.  Both had live bands just about every day.  And down the street?  All the jazz clubs.  

 

At the time, it didn't seem like too much of a big deal, but in retrospect, I was really lucky. Today's music just doesn't seem the same and the concert scene just isn't the same.  What do concert tickets cost today? $500?  It used to be more like $7.

 

The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Yardbirds, MC5, T-Rex, Rickie Havens, Country Joe and the Fish, The Talking Heads, The Doobie Brothers, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, The Grateful Dead, Captain Beefhart,  America...

 

And I'm probably forgetting a bunch of the rock bands.  I'll skip all the jazz greats.
