WHAT A LONG STRANGE TRIP IT'S BEEN
CASEY KASEM set the standard for radio countdowns with his weekly AMERICAN TOP 40 show. Now, Casey reaches into the archives to bring you rare and exciting performances from the 60's greatest musicians.
In the "Summer of Love", when Haight-Ashbury 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. This psychedelic sound became the soundtrack for an unforgettable era.
