Jefferson Airplane Live Performance of White Rabbit at Kralingen Festival

Date: June 27, 1970

In June 1970, Jefferson Airplane took the stage at the Kralingen Festival in the Netherlands, delivering a mesmerizing live rendition of 'White Rabbit.' By this time, the band had already solidified their status as pioneers of the psychedelic rock movement, following the release of their acclaimed album 'Volunteers' in 1969. This album showcased their keen sociopolitical awareness and experimental sound, which resonated deeply with the counterculture of the era. Interestingly, 'White Rabbit' itself is often celebrated for its haunting lyrics that draw upon Lewis Carroll's 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland,' reflecting the band’s ability to blend lyrical depth with a captivating musical experience. Their performance at the Kralingen Festival stands as a vibrant reminder of their cultural impact during a transformative period in music history.
