Rock Around the Clock

Re-Creating a Night on the Radio,
New Year's Eve,
Looking Back on 1967-1968

By Russ Gifford

Join Russ Gifford and step into the time machine – the destination – New Year’s Eve, 1969! We’ll relive the hits from 1967 and 1968 to remember the Summer of Love and the upheavals of 1968. This session is dedicated to the transition in America that none of us realized was happening until we looked back.

We will remember the Mamas and the Papas, and see the rise of Jefferson Airplane, the Doors, and Jimi Hendrix. Janis continues to fly high as well. We will see the second wave of the British Invasion taking hold, but the Beatles and the Stones will retool and chart the path for everyone that follows - along with the trailblazer, Bob Dylan! We will see new acts like Credence Clearwater Revival bring rock back to its GarageBand roots, along with a number of Canadians that are also blazing their own paths to stardom - people like Joni Mitchell. This is the History of Rock, 1967-1968, Part 4!
