Jefferson Airplane Live Performance of Instrumental-Blues at Cafe Au Go Go
On March 4, 1967, Jefferson Airplane performed live at the iconic Cafe au Go-Go in New York City, showcasing their experimental flair with 'Instrumental-Blues.' This performance came hot on the heels of their acclaimed album 'Surrealistic Pillow,' released just a month earlier in February 1967. 'Surrealistic Pillow' was a game-changer, marking the band's rise to fame with hits like 'Somebody to Love' and 'White Rabbit,' both of which captured the vibrant counterculture of the 1960s. This live performance, steeped in that same spirit of exploration, highlights their willingness to push musical boundaries. Interestingly, this was a time when psychedelic rock was just beginning to flourish, and the Airplane was right at the forefront of the movement, making their shows not just concerts but transformative experiences for the audience.
