More Of 1968 Music

Even though seeing the Jimi Hendrix Experience live was the highlight of 1968 as far as I was concerned, there was quite a bit more that happened that year musically:

  • The Beatles traveled to India to visit the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi at Rishikesh and released The White Album.
  • The Rolling Stones released Beggars Banquet
  • Simon and Garfunkel released Bookends
  • Big Brother and the Holding Company (with Janis Joplin) released Cheap Thrills
  • Jefferson Airplane released Crown of Creation
  • The Jimi Hendrix Experience released Electric Ladyland
  • Donovan released The Hurdy Gurdy Man
  • The Moody Blues released In Search of the Lost Chord
  • Bob Dylan released John Wesley Harding
  • Aretha Franklin released Lady Soul
  • Traffic released Traffic
  • The Doors released Waiting For The Sun
  • The Mothers of Invention released We're Only In It For The Money
  • Cream released Wheels of Fire
...but I was a bit behind the times, living in Hawaii
