Travel through the history of rock with this app. Rockspots San Francisco guides you through the streets where the hippie culture was born and rock history was made: Where Linda Ronstadt created the Eagles. Where The Band performed their Last Waltz. Where Janis Joplin lived. Where Jerry Garcia died.

Through search criteria such as Home, Concert Venue, Birthplace, Death Site, Burial Site, Album Cover and Recording Studio you’ll be closer to the story than ever before.
The Fillmore West, Winterland, Altamont, Monterey and Haight-Ashbury. Many of the historical spots are long gone, but now you can relive the story. Go back to The Summer of Love and see where the artists lived, met, played, hung out and died.

Rockspots San Francisco lets you search for specific artists (more than 30 spots related to Grateful Dead), music video locations or the story behind a song. Why not pay a visit to Jimi Hendrix’ “Red House Over Yonder”?

Take your iPhone for a trip around San Francisco, or do the traveling at home. You can read the stories and save your favorites for a later pilgrimage. Find the spots easily on the map and get the directions on how to get there from your own location.

Where the artists lived, met, played, hung out and died.
