Jefferson Airplane

In August 1969, Jefferson Airplane performed at the Woodstock Music & Art Fair, a pivotal moment in both the festival's history and the band's career. At this time, the group had just released their influential album "Volunteers" in November 1969, which featured a blend of counterculture themes and social commentary reflective of the era. Prior to this, their earlier album "Surrealistic Pillow," released in 1967, had propelled them to fame with hits like "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit," the latter of which they performed live at Woodstock. This performance solidified their status as leading figures in the psychedelic rock movement. Notably, "White Rabbit" was inspired by the hallucinogenic experiences of the 1960s and became an anthem of the counterculture, making their live rendition at Woodstock particularly significant in the cultural zeitgeist of the time.
