Jefferson Airplane

In August 1969, Jefferson Airplane performed their iconic hit "Somebody to Love" at the Woodstock Festival, marking a high point in their career amid the counterculture movement. Just prior to this explosive performance, they had released their landmark album, "Volunteers," which came out in 1969 as a call to arms against social injustices of the era. The connection to Woodstock is profound; this live recording encapsulates both the spirit of the festival and the band's commitment to challenging conventional norms. Interestingly, Jefferson Airplane was among the first major rock bands to make a significant impact at Woodstock, shaping the narrative of the festival. They were not just musicians but cultural icons, using their platform to advocate for peace and love during a tumultuous time.
