60s Museum Event--the Playlist

I was lucky enough to serve as a DJ tonight at the 60s Museum Benefit at Chicago's Kinetic Playground club. The night featured sets by the New Invaders (with a guest appearance by Jimy Sohns, lead singer of Chicago's 60s punks The Shadows of Knight) and by the headliner, Country Joe McDonald (with three of the original four Fish backing him)!
