Jefferson Airplane

From Woodstock Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Jefferson Airplane was quite the biggest band of the San Francisco scene. They were scheduled as the headliner for the second day, Saturday, but finally started in the morning, somewhere around 6.00 and 8.00.

[edit] Details

Singer Grace Slick introduced the band with the words: "Alright friends, you have seen the heavy groups, now you'll see morning maniac music, believe me, yeah..."

Indeed, Jefferson Airplane played some morning maniac music for the tired audience. Their setlist featured well-known songs from their Surrealistic Pillow album but left little room for improvisation (unlike other Airplane shows from this period). There's only a 1:42 long fragment of "The Other Side of This Life" available.

"Volunteers" was probably quite new for the audience. This wonderful song was recorded for the album with the same name months later. "Eskimo Blue Day" is also from this album. The last song is some sort of oddity that wasn't heard that often.
