Friday Music

Written by the group and released in 1967 this ode to San Francisco was not only a protest song in opposition the war in Vietnam it launched the band into broader recognition on the music scene. 

Up to this time the group displayed a grittier, bluesy style of performance.  Creative differences resulted in a loss of original members and the band was reconstituted in time to arrive on the psychedelic music scene. 

If you are into trivia this song also leaves the listener with the impression that San Francisco is endowed with a warm and moderate climate.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  The visiting Brits coincidentally enjoyed a rare stretch of warm weather.
