Jefferson Airplane

The live recording of "White Rabbit" on March 4, 1967, captures Jefferson Airplane at a pivotal moment in their career. Just months before this performance, the band released their groundbreaking album "Surrealistic Pillow," which included hits like "Somebody to Love" and, of course, "White Rabbit.” This album marked a significant shift in their sound, steering them into the forefront of the psychedelic rock movement that was overtaking the 1960s music scene. Performing at the iconic Cafe Au Go-Go in New York, they delivered an electrifying rendition of "White Rabbit," showcasing Grace Slick's powerful vocals and dynamic stage presence. Interesting to note, the song itself reflects themes of escapism and psychedelic experiences, resonating with the counterculture's spirit. This performance solidified the band's reputation and set the stage for their future influence in music.
