Jefferson Airplane Live Performance of Somebody To Love at Woodstock Festival

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

In the summer of 1969, Jefferson Airplane was riding high on the waves of their groundbreaking psychedelic sound and counterculture influence. Just before their iconic performance of 'Somebody To Love' at Woodstock, they had released the album 'Crown of Creation' in September 1968, which included hits that showcased their innovative style. This live recording on August 17, 1969, not only highlighted their musical prowess but also cemented their status as a leading act of the era. Fun fact: at Woodstock, they were one of the first major acts to take the stage, and their set became emblematic of the festival's spirit—capturing the essence of the 60s' social upheaval. Grace Slick's haunting vocals paired with seasoned guitarist Jorma Kaukonen's riffs left an indelible mark, making it a performance that fans still celebrate today.
