Free Music Notes for Love Is the Song We Sing: San Francisco Nuggets 1965-1970
Free Music Review: If you hear the song I sing, you must understand.
Hit: 4 Stars
This box set is devoted to the San Francisco rock music scene of the second half of the 1960s. It comes in a hardcover book filled with lots of information, plus beautiful photographs of the performers. The four CDs feature music by performers both well known (Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane) and obscure (Public Nuisance, The Ace of Cups). The vast majority of the songs featured here will be unknown to most listeners. Not every song is great, but most of them are quite enjoyable. This set is well worth getting for fans of '60s rock music.Free Music Review: Nuggets of Turd

Pretty cool. Beautiful Book with good history. Unfortunately some of the cuts aren't that great, and some don't even play. Perhaps I got a factory second, but who's got time to send it back?
It's a pity.

To me this is one of the best various artists box sets ever. They did it right, told a story and didn't always go for the hits but for what is important to the story.Free Music Review: Thin Overview

I'm not sure what the purpose is of this box set. There was so much music, by all these bands, that to throw some of it in a box, as if it belonged together, does a disservice to the music, musicians and the era it proposes to commemorate. The common denominator might be San Francisco but there was great diversity with-in the scene. That's what made Frisco in the '60's great. I can't fault the music but I think it distorts a picture that has never been taken. This box set,as good as it might be,does not begin to tell the tale it advertises on the box.Free Music Review: Nostalgia

Pop music has come a looong way---if this set is anything to go by, very few 60's bands knew how to play an instrument!
Still, this music is powerfully evocative of a certain place and time, and I imagine a lot of people old enough to remember the Summer of Love (or some that wish they'd been there) will enjoy it very much. The four CDs (be warned, the sound quality is all over the place) are housed in a huge book, with lots of interesting commentary and plenty of pics (bands may not have known how to play, but they sure knew how to dress).
