The band had been one of the first to sign on for the festival, their imprimatur prompting many other acts to hop on board, and their stature had landed them a coveted headlining slot closing Saturday night’s schedule. But, as the torrential downpours and the unexpected crush of half a million people kept on delaying their set, the chances of putting on anything approaching a quality performance seemed to diminish. According to Paul Kantner, “We were supposed to go on at 10:30 at night and we’d been up and down about four or five times on acid that night, getting ready to go on, and then everything was delayed for whatever reasons. So, we didn’t get on until like 7:00 the next morning and everybody was pretty much burned out.” Kantner’s protestations to the contrary, the Airplane (with guest pianist Nicky Hopkins in tow) played a scorching two-hour set that defied the elements and the circumstances. Grace Slick led the charge as the band plunged into a frenetic version of Fred Neil’s “The Other Side of This Life”: “Alright, friends, you have seen the heavy groups. Now you will see morning maniac music. Believe me, yeah. It’s a new dawn!” What followed was an adventuresome (and surprisingly tight) set that not only featured the band’s big hits like “White Rabbit” and “Somebody to Love” but also premiered songs from the Volunteers album that was still three months away from being released, including a 21-minute version of “Wooden Ships!” Indeed, about the only members of the crew who weren’t up to snuff were the ones filming the concert documentary, which explains why the Airplane is not one of the acts that commonly come to mind when thinking about Woodstock; they didn’t appear in the film due to subpar footage, and only one of their songs (“Volunteers”) was included the chart-topping 3-LP Woodstock release. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, Real Gone Music is proud to present Jefferson Airplane’s complete Woodstock performance.

Formed in 1965, the group defined the San Francisco Sound and was the first from the Bay Area to achieve international commercial success. They were headliners at the Monterey Pop Festival (1967), Woodstock (1969), Altamont Free Concert (1969), and the first Isle of Wight Festival (1968) in England. Their 1967 break-out album \u003ci\u003eSurrealistic Pillow\u003c\/i\u003e was one of the most significant recordings of the Summer of Love. Two songs from that album, “Somebody to Love” and “White Rabbit”, are among Rolling  Stone’s “500 Greatest Songs of All Time”.  Slick’s recruitment proved pivotal to the Airplane’s commercial breakthrough—she possessed a powerful and supple contralto voice that complemented Balin’s and was well-suited to the group’s amplified psychedelic music, and, a former model, her good looks and stage presence greatly enhanced the group’s live impact. “White Rabbit” was written by Grace Slick while she was still with  The Great Society.  The first album Slick recorded with Jefferson Airplane was Surrealistic Pillow, its 1967 breakout album. Slick provided two songs from her previous group: her own “White Rabbit” and “Somebody to Love”, written by her brother-in-law Darby Slick. Both songs  became breakout successes for Jefferson Airplane and have ever since been associated with that band.  The October 1966 to February 1970 lineup of Jefferson Airplane, consisting of Marty Balin (vocals), Paul Kantner (guitar, vocals), Grace Slick (vocals), Jorma Kaukonen (lead guitar, vocals), Jack Casady (bass), and Spencer Dryden (drums), was inducted into the  Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracks: Other Side of This Life • Somebody To Love • Plastic Fantastic Lover •  White Rabbit • 3\/5 Of A Mile In l 0 Seconds • She Has Funny Cars • High Flyin' Bird • It's No Secret •  Today • My Best Friend • Don't Slip Away • This Is My Life And I Like It • We Can Be Together • Volunteers\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Renaissance","offers":[{"title":"Orange LP","offer_id":50486818242891,"sku":"2026898","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Blue LPx2","offer_id":50486818701643,"sku":"2026899","price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/81VONxEJnCL._AC_SL1500__0de4be18_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727616057"},{"product_id":"now-playing-79","title":"Now Playing","description":"\u003cp\u003eCelebrate the evolution of Jefferson Starship from their 70s rock roots to their 80s pop-rock anthems with this \u003ci\u003eNow Playing\u003c\/i\u003e.

Much had changed in America – and within Jefferson Airplane – in just the two short years since the release of the San Francisco collective's breakthrough smash Surrealistic Pillow. The countercultural movement had darkened, government involvement in Vietnam escalated, and regard for human rights fallen. Retreating from the excessive experimentalism that graced its prior two LPs, the Airplane responded to the social circumstances with defiant, assured, and cohesive songs shot through with driving psychedelia, crunchy acid-rock, and rustic country. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom start to finish, it's the aural equivalent of a demonstration march.Having drawn attention for the inclusion of profanities in multiple tunes, the Top 20 LP also ran up against the nonprofit Volunteers of America after the sextet wanted to title the record Volunteers of Amerika in order to express further dissatisfaction with the country. While Grace Slick and Co. gave into the charity's desires to switch the name, there's nothing compromising about Volunteers. Kaukonen's leads cut searing swaths through urgent fare like \"Eskimo Blue Day\" and anthemic \"We Can Be Together,\" which boldly speaks out against convention and in favor of chaos and anarchy.Indeed, in organizing a pseudo summit of many of the counterculture's leading musical figures to participate on Volunteers, the Airplane treats the album as an orchestrated stance against the establishment. Stills and Crosby assist in rocking the boat on a turbulent cover of \"Wooden Ships\" lined with Slick and Marty Balin's overlapping lead vocals.

The group's three-part vocal harmonizing and dueling was on display during such songs as a nearly seven-minute version of Fred Neil's folk-blues standard \"The Other Side of This Life,\" here transformed into a swirling rocker. The album emphasized the talents of Kaukonen and singer Marty Balin over the team of Paul Kantner and Grace Slick, who had tended to dominate recent records: the blues song \"Rock Me Baby\" was a dry run for Hot Tuna, the band Kaukonen and Casady would form in two years, and Balin turned in powerful vocal performances on several of his own compositions, notably \"It's No Secret.\" Jefferson Airplane was still at its best in concise, driving numbers, rather than in the jams on Donovan's \"Fat Angel\" (running 7:35) or the group improv \"Bear Melt\" (11:21); they were just too intense to stretch out comfortably. But Bless Its Pointed Little Head served an important function in the group's discography, demonstrating that their live work had a distinctly different focus and flavor from their studio recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Music On Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":51129104695627,"sku":"1080872","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/3de8e7da-ce32-40b7-9728-2785082e86aa_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1737369204"},{"product_id":"volunteers-1","title":"Volunteers","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe album is a real sign of the times with politically charged lyrics dealing with the injustice of the Vietnam war.
