Jefferson Airplane
Jefferson Airplane Live Performance at Concertgebouw Amsterdam - Today
In September 1968, just after the vibrant summer of love, Jefferson Airplane delivered a powerful performance at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. This live recording captures the band in their prime, following the release of their groundbreaking album "Surrealistic Pillow" in 1967 and right before the launch of "Crown of Creation" the next year. Notably, this period marked the band's experimentation with psychedelic rock, which resonated deeply with the counterculture movement. The performance reflects their deep connection to the '60s ideals, and songs like "Somebody to Love" showcase their lyrical depth and sonic creativity. Also interesting is the band's lineup changes during this era, particularly the presence of Grace Slick, whose distinctive voice became a hallmark of their sound. All in all, this set at the Concertgebouw feels like a snapshot of a defining moment in rock history.
