The 1970s. Woodstock, the rise of new cultures, and the start of rock and roll as we know it today. All of these things were started in the 1970s. Who wouldn't want to visit that time period? You can go to Woodstock, and see Jimi Hendrix in his prime; you could catch a Led Zeppelin concert before they get too big and eventually break up; you could make some great new friends in the hippies that are starting to emerge, and even join a drum circle.
The Vietnam War is just coming to a close, and everyone is as happy as can be. I, for one, would love to just sit down and talk to a war veteran as it is fresh in their minds, and talk to his family and friends and hear what they have to say about it. While it was great that the veterans were coming home, unfortunately, they were not welcomed with open arms. Many called them "Baby-Killers" and blamed them for all their troubles. Another great reason to go back to the 1970's would be to assure them that they were doing something good, and that they may have saved thousands of people.
Also, I'm sure most people would be too embarrassed to wear this nowadays, but come on everybody! Who wouldn't want to dress up in those psychedelic tye-dye tees and the vests with all those groovy buttons and bandanas? It may not seem like much, but even wearing that would make your visit more authentic, and more fun!
