What should i play??

I would suggest some Joan Baez or "The Band".  I think they sing a song call "The Weight".  Good stuff from the 60's.  Or, that song: I like to teach the world! 

Hope these help!

Lots of old hippies and classic rock lovers will be there?  It will probably be great fun!  Being sort of an old hippie, here are some tunes on chordie from that timeframe (and a couple of others) that will resonate well with such a crowd.  They will also lend themselves nicely to 2 players/voices:

Hope this is helpful - James

Well, I take it Primal Scream - Kill All Hippies, will be a big no no!  <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif" border=0 alt="Laughing">

I'd just like to echo the advice to play The Band - The Weight. Terrific song.

Anything by CCR, Crosbie, Stills, Nash and Young, Janis Joplin.

Maybe,

The Who - We're not gonna take it.

Joe Cocker - With a little help from my friends.

The Doors - Spanish Caravan.

Hendrix - Hey Joe.

I reckon the hippies would maybe like that sort of stuff.

Wow, thanks a lot for all the suggestions, this sure helped!!!
