Jefferson Airplane Live Performance of The House at Pooneil Corners at Woodstock Festival

Venue: Max Yasgur's Farm Location: Bethel, New York, United States Date: August 17, 1969

In August 1969, Jefferson Airplane graced the stage at the iconic Woodstock Festival, delivering a powerhouse performance of "The House at Pooneil Corners." At this point in their career, they had just released their seminal album "Volunteers" earlier that year, which reflected the turbulent social landscape of the time and marked a turning point for the band. It was their final album before the festival that helped solidify their place in the counterculture movement. The song itself showcases the band's signature blend of psychedelia and folk rock, interlaced with messages of hope and protest. Notably, this performance was among the first to introduce non-linear storytelling in rock music, a vivid reflection of the era's spirit. The energy of the live setting, captured amidst the chaos of Woodstock, stands testament to the band's deep connection with their audience, making it a memorable moment in rock history.
