Jefferson Airplane Live Performance of Tobacco Road at Cafe Au Go Go
On March 4, 1967, Jefferson Airplane delivered a electrifying live performance of "Tobacco Road" at the iconic Cafe au Go-Go in New York City. This show came shortly after the release of their groundbreaking album, "Surrealistic Pillow," which had hit the shelves just weeks earlier in February 1967. The album marked a pivotal moment in the band's career, propelling them into the forefront of the psychedelic rock scene with hits like "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit". Interestingly, this was a time when Jefferson Airplane was redefining musical boundaries, blending folk rock and psychedelia, and establishing themselves as a voice of the counterculture era. The intimacy of the Cafe au Go-Go allowed the band to connect deeply with its audience, creating an unforgettable atmosphere that resonated with the spirit of the '60s.
