The Montrose Area, Westbury Square, Market Square, Allen's Landing, Liberty Hall, Catacombs, Love Street. All very familiar names and locations in Houston back then. This was a time when music only came on vinyl. You could not download or even go out and buy music videos. There was no cable or MTV. Your one and only chance of seeing an artist was catching them live. Even if it meant having to spend a whole five dollars for a ticket to see someone like Hendrix or the Doors. It was during a time of counterculture marked by civil rights unrest, an unpopular war, women’s rights and a general distrust of our government. Music was what brought us together. This site is dedicated to the Houston music scene during that period.
