Jefferson Airplane

In the summer of 1969, Jefferson Airplane was riding high on their groundbreaking album "Surrealistic Pillow," released in early 1967. This pivotal album, featuring iconic tracks like "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit," helped catapult the band into the forefront of the psychedelic rock scene. Their live performance at Woodstock on August 17, 1969, showcased not only their musical prowess but also the cultural zeitgeist of the era—peace, love, and a touch of rebellion. Interestingly, the song "White Rabbit" is often associated with the counterculture movement, exploring themes of mind expansion. It's worth noting that this performance was pivotal not just for the band but also for the festival itself, marking a defining moment in rock history. Jefferson Airplane’s fearless blend of mysticism and musicality makes this live rendition a memorable piece of the Woodstock legacy.
