Jefferson Airplane Performs Somebody to Love Live at Woodstock Music & Art Fair

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

In 1969, Jefferson Airplane was riding high on a wave of counterculture influence, having recently released their groundbreaking album 'Volunteers,' which hit the shelves just months before their electrifying performance at Woodstock. This live recording from August 17, 1969, captures a pivotal moment in the band's evolution. Known for their distinctive blend of rock and psychedelic sounds, the band had already cemented their place in music history with hits like 'Somebody to Love.' At Woodstock, they showcased not just their musical prowess but also the spirit of the era. Additionally, the band's performance became iconic in part because it aligned with the festival's ethos of peace and love, making it a significant chapter in both their career and the cultural revolution of the 60s.
