Jefferson Airplane

On March 4, 1967, Jefferson Airplane delivered an electrifying performance of 'Somebody to Love' at the iconic Café Au Go-Go in New York City. This live recording comes just after the release of their groundbreaking album 'Surrealistic Pillow,' which dropped in February 1967 and prominently featured the hit singles 'Somebody to Love' and 'White Rabbit.' At this pivotal moment in their career, the band was beginning to define the psychedelic rock sound that would come to characterize the era. Interestingly, Grace Slick's haunting vocals and the band's rich harmonies in this live rendition echo the innovative spirit of the 1967 Summer of Love, marking a cultural revolution. The Café Au Go-Go was a hotspot for burgeoning talent, and Jefferson Airplane's performance contributed significantly to their rising fame during this transformative period of the 1960s.
