"This set is terrific! Watched the DVD and loved it. Live performances from the greats of all time.



The CD's are awesome. And for a price of $30...it rocks!"
An Enjoyable "FLASHBACK"!!!!!

"This is a great package that is not only for the 'sounds' but also for the 'sights' of that Magical Time...The Summer of Love. Disc One is called "AM" for some of the more comercial 'hits' of that year, while the second disc is called "FM" encompassing some of the 'heavier' cuts to include a few surprise 'obscure cuts like "Mary, Mary" by the Butterfield Blues Band and "Not So Sweet Martha Lorraine" by Country Joe & the Fish.

After absorbing the 'SOUNDS'...Kick Back and take in the sights of the DVD and the 'rare' footage' of the day. Although most is a rehash of the TIME/LIFE "History of Rock and Roll", some additional footage make it a worthwhile viewing and well worth the the Price for the Hours of Enjoyable Flashbacks!!!!"
Mostly great

"It's amazing how much great music was being created during that "Summer of Love" in 1967. This 2 CD/1 DVD set is a nice sample of that music, and the DVD is a well-made documentary putting it all in perspective, with many pertinent comments from people who lived through it. The CDs are quite generous with 20 songs on each, but the second half of the second CD is not as good to me, sometimes even substandard. And as is usually the case with these compilations, some big names who had hit songs in 1967 are not on here, people like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and the Doors, presumably because the producers did not have access to their recordings. I dealt with these shortcomings by re-recording these CDs, cutting 8 tracks, then adding in some missing songs. A couple of good supplementary CDs are AM Gold: 1967 and the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour. The appearance of this set is very nice, with great graphics and an interesting booklet giving some background on the songs and performers. Sound quality is very good, too."
