Jefferson Airplane

In August 1969, during the iconic Woodstock Festival, Jefferson Airplane showcased their pivotal role in the counterculture movement, performing their classic hits "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit." Just prior to this live recording, the band had released the album "Volunteers" in 1969, which featured a more politically charged sound and resonated with the tumultuous socio-political climate of the era. This performance not only solidified their status as one of the leading bands of the 1960s but also highlighted the seamless blend of rock and psychedelic music that defined their style. A noteworthy aspect of their Woodstock set was Grace Slick's commanding stage presence; as the band's lead vocalist and songwriter, her contribution significantly shaped their sound. The recording also captured the essence of the festival, making it a lasting testament to the band's impact during one of music's most celebrated moments.
