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 late-sixties, after the British Invasion, music began to evolve into a heavier sound. With a blues-inspired, guitar-driven sound and trippy lyrics, this new HARD ROCK seared its way to the top of the charts. Featuring Jefferson Airplane, The Doors, The Who, The Small Faces, Steppenwolf, Blue Cheer, Cream, Canned Heat, Jimi Hendrix, and Janis Joplin. Also includes a rare interview with The Beatles recorded in Holland in 1964 (look for fill-in drummer Jimmy Nicol, who was sitting in for an ailing Ringo Starr).
