Jefferson Airplane was a rock band based in San Francisco, California, that became one of the pioneering bands of psychedelic rock. 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 three most famous American rock festivals of the 1960s—Monterey (1967), Woodstock (1969) and Altamont (1969)—and the first Isle of Wight Festival (1968) [1] in England. Their 1967 break-out album Surrealistic Pillow ranks on the short list of the most significant recordings of the Summer of Love. Two songs from that album, "Somebody to Love"[2] and "White Rabbit", are among Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Songs of All Time."
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.[3] Marty Balin left the band in 1971. After 1972, Jefferson Airplane effectively split into two groups. Kaukonen and Casady moved on full-time to their own band, Hot Tuna. Slick, Kantner, and the remaining members of Jefferson Airplane recruited new members and regrouped as Jefferson Starship in 1974, with Marty Balin eventually joining them. Jefferson Airplane was presented with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016.
Jefferson Airplane, the band that launched the San Francisco rock sceneJefferson Airplane, the band that launched the San Francisco rock scene, never specialized in cooperation. A fractious, contentious group of strong personalities, the band nonetheless ruled over the Summer of Love. As “White Rabbit” and “Somebody To Love” poured out of radios across the country, the band headlined the Monterey International Pop Festival, appeared on the cover of Life magazine and ushered in a new era of rock around the world as its members fought with each other as much as they battled record companies, managers and concert promoters.
The Airplane’s breakthrough album, “Surrealistic Pillow,” was released in 1967, providing the love children with LSD-spiked, revolutionary songs. The classic lineup’s disparate sound — Marty Balin’s pseudo-soul folk singing, the warbly contralto of Grace Slick, guitarist Jorma Kaukonen’s brilliant blues finger picking, Jack Casady’s experimental bass playing, Paul Kantner’s stoney polemics — was the perfect representation of the city at the time.
“San Francisco is 49 square miles surrounded by reality,” Kantner said.

The Jefferson Airplane flew into town Sunday for a Proposition “P” benefit at the Fillmore and played the best set of theirs I ever heard.
It was an exciting and fascinating performance which indicates that the Airplane has not only weathered the hassles of national prominence (“we’ve been living an accelerated life,” Marty Balin says) but has managed to grow professionally and musically. Its new album, now being completed in Hollywood, ought to be sensational.
The Airplane began its set with music that was utterly strange to me; a heavy, propelling but swinging beat and a fiercely glowing solo line from Jorma Kaukonen. It turned out to be the old favorite, “Other Side of This Life,” redone in a new arrangement with Marty’s voice sounding better than it ever has, warn, clear and effective.
It really was a most impressive set. The group has more stage presence than ever; they look like winners all the way. Both Balin and Grace Slick are in excellent voice and the instrumentalists are playing like demons.
Standing there listening to them, it suddenly struck me that this is really a four-man band with two singers (even though Grace sometimes doubles on various instruments as does Marty) and it is the best rock band in the country. The only group that I have heard which can push them is Cream. I’m convinced the Airplane is superior all over to any other band and only the Grateful Dead and Big Brother of the American bands is in their class.
