Jefferson Airplane Live Performance of White Rabbit at Woodstock Music Fair
Before performing 'White Rabbit' at Woodstock on August 17, 1969, Jefferson Airplane released their groundbreaking album 'Surrealistic Pillow' in 1967, which catapulted them to fame. This album featured hits like 'Somebody to Love' and 'White Rabbit,' the latter of which became an anthem for the counterculture movement. By the time they took the stage at Woodstock, Jefferson Airplane was already a prominent name in the San Francisco music scene, known for their distinctive blend of rock and psychedelic sounds. Their performance at Woodstock was pivotal, not just for the band but for rock history itself; it captured the essence of a generation striving for peace and love. Interestingly, lead singer Grace Slick's powerful vocals and the song's surreal imagery enchanted audiences, making this live version a cherished moment in the band’s legacy.
