Jefferson Airplane

In early 1970, Jefferson Airplane was at a pivotal point in their career, transitioning through a phase of musical evolution marked by changes in their lineup and sound. The live performance captured in the recording of "We Can Be Together" features new drummer Joey Covington, who had recently joined the band, signaling a shift in their artistic direction. Prior to this performance, the band had released "Volunteer" in late 1969, which showcased their increasing experimentation with rock styles influenced by the counterculture movements of the time. The concert held at Pacific High Recording in San Francisco underscores the band’s integration of new soundscapes and rhythms, as they navigated the complexities of their musical identity shortly before the release of their upcoming album "Bark" later in 1971. This live performance can be seen as a testament to their commitment to innovation amidst significant lineup changes in a period of cultural upheaval.
