In Search of the Lost Chord is Danny Goldberg's unique eyewitness history of these epochal twelve months, which saw the flowering of the Haight-Ashbury hippie community in San Francisco, the release of The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper and debut albums from The Doors, The Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. It was the year of the Summer of Love and LSD; the Monterey Pop Festival; Muhammad Ali's conviction for draft avoidance and Martin Luther King Jr's public opposition to the war in Vietnam; Black Power; the Six-Day War and Che Guevara's murder.
Exhaustively researched and informed by interviews including Allen Ginsberg, Timothy Leary and Gil Scott-Heron (one of Goldberg's high school classmates), In Search of the Lost Chord is a refreshing new analysis of the era and provides a unique perspective on how and why the legacy of 1967 lives on today.
