Jefferson Airplane

On December 31, 1966, Jefferson Airplane delivered an electrifying performance at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco, which is fondly remembered as a pivotal moment in their career. This live recording, "Jorma's Blues," showcases Jorma Kaukonen's evocative guitar work, reflecting the band's unique blend of rock, blues, and psychedelia in that era. Before this show, they had released their critically acclaimed album "Surrealistic Pillow" just a year earlier, which launched them into the spotlight with hits like "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit." Interestingly, by the time of this New Year's Eve concert, the band was already becoming a cornerstone of the burgeoning counterculture movement, not just in music but also in embodying the spirit of the 1960s. Their presence at the Fillmore, surrounded by other legendary acts, also helped them cement their status in the psychedelic rock scene.
