It’s not uncommon to feel like you’re stepping back in time at San Jose’s History Park. But it is interesting for an exhibit to bring back some memories of a time that might be a bit, well, hazy for people who lived through it.
But that’s part of the fun of “South Bay Flashback: Riffs, Rhythms and Revolution,” a yearlong exhibition that opened Saturday and takes a long, strange trip into the music scene in and around San Jose in the 1960s and ’70s. Nearly 300 items are on display from the extensive collection of Bill Guardino, a San Jose native who has been collecting posters, handbills, records, underground newspapers and other artifacts of the time for more than five decades.
Fortunately, there’s a lot of time to check it all out, as the exhibition will be open through Dec. 21, 2026. History San Jose CEO Bill Schroh says he expects several events to be held at the venue, including some next month related to the 60th anniversary of the Grateful Dead’s first concert in San Jose.
