When you experience this show you get to see, hear, and feel the far out vibes and sounds of the greatest 60's rock legends. With costume changes, this 6 member band brings to the stage greats of the 60's and 70's rock era, with a psychedelic ending you won't want to miss. They bring the nostalgia of the Love Generation and Flower Power days back to those who lived it and to a new generation fascinated by it.
