Jefferson Airplane

On May 19, 1967, Jefferson Airplane performed a live concert at California State University in San Luis Obispo, California, during a pivotal time in their career. This performance took place shortly after the release of their iconic album "Surrealistic Pillow," which debuted in February 1967. This album is notable for featuring classic tracks such as "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit," both of which were included in their live setlist. At this point, the band was gaining significant recognition and becoming a central figure in the San Francisco music scene and the broader counterculture movement of the 1960s. Their improvisational style and integration of rock with psychedelic elements were instrumental in shaping the sound of the era. The live recording captures the energy and innovation of Jefferson Airplane as they were on the cusp of becoming one of the leading bands of the time.
