Jefferson Airplane

In August 1969, when Jefferson Airplane performed "We Can Be Together" and "Volunteers" on The Dick Cavett Show, the band was experiencing a significant peak in their career. Just prior to this performance, they had released their groundbreaking album "Volunteers," which came out in late 1969. This album was notable for its politically charged lyrics and countercultural themes, aligning well with the social climate of the era. The performance on The Dick Cavett Show was particularly noteworthy as it took place immediately following their historic appearance at the Woodstock festival in the same month, marking a key moment in the band's evolution as a leading figure in the psychedelic rock movement. The live performance included other prominent musicians like Joni Mitchell and David Crosby, emphasizing their relevance in the music scene at the time.
