Jefferson Airplane

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jefferson Airplane was an American rock band formed in San Francisco, California in 1965. A pioneer of counterculture-era psychedelic rock, the group was the first band from the San Francisco scene to achieve international mainstream success. They performed at the three most famous American rock festivals of the 1960s—Monterey (1967), Woodstock (1969) and Altamont (1969)—as well as headlined the first Isle of Wight Festival (1968). Their 1967 record Surrealistic Pillow is regarded as one of the key recordings of the "Summer of Love". Two hits from that album, "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit", are among Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".

The "classic" line-up of Jefferson Airplane remained stable from 1967 to early 1970, and consisted of Marty Balin, Jack Casady, Spencer Dryden, Paul Kantner, Jorma Kaukonen and Grace Slick. The group broke up in 1972, and essentially split into the two bands Hot Tuna and Jefferson Starship. Jefferson Airplane was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996, and honored with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016.

Where is Grace Slick? She could scream in tune.

I have come to really love these posts. I had forgotten how much really great music I used to know. Sometimes, not often, I wish I could go back to the early 70’s and do it all again.

Needs to include "If You Feel" from Crown of Creation.

The crosstalk between Jorma and Jack is one of the sweetest sounds I know of on record.

This advertisement for Levi-Strauss was the first thing I ever heard by Jefferson Airplane. It was played on the radio stations KRLA and KHJ in the early spring of 1967. At first I thought the announcer said "Jefferson Airlines," and that he was talking about an air transport service. Shortly afterwards, their recording of "Somebody to Love" began to get airplay.

I never heard the ad again until Youtube came along.

Somebody to Love by Jefferson, was the only song I could get into.

It’s been about 40 years since I’ve played a Jefferson Airplane album. Fun stuff.

“After Bathing at Baxters” was their best, with “Pillow” a close second.
