Jefferson Airplane

In March 1967, Jefferson Airplane performed the song "Today" live at the iconic Cafe au Go-Go in New York City, just as they were solidifying their place in the rock scene. This performance followed the release of their groundbreaking album "Surrealistic Pillow," which had come out just a few weeks earlier in February. The album featured hits like "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit," which went on to become defining tracks of the psychedelic era. By this point, the band had surged into the limelight, capturing the spirit of the counterculture movement. Interestingly, the Cafe au Go-Go was known for showcasing emerging artists, and Jefferson Airplane's raw energy and distinct sound made them a standout. This live recording perfectly encapsulates the vibrant atmosphere of 1960s New York, a time teeming with creativity and social change.
