Santana, Sly and the Family Stone, Tower of Power, and the Doobie Brothers further diversify the landscape. Woodstock puts San Francisco artists on the world stage. Despite a series of tragedies that strike the community, the music keeps on going.

In free-thinking San Francisco of the ‘60s, bands form that change the landscape of music forever: Jefferson Airplane, Big Brother and the Holding Company, Janis Joplin, Country Joe and The Fish, Steve Miller, the Grateful Dead, and countless others.
