Jefferson Airplane

Jefferson Airplane was one of the leaders of the San Francisco sound of the sixties. Others include Big Brother and the Holding Company and Creedence Clearwater Revival. They had begun as a group called The Great Society. They are best known for their iconic breakthrough album Surrealistic Pillow, which led to several more successful albums. Being a Bay Area band, they participated in the Monterey International Pop Festival of 1967. They also participated in the legendary Woodstock Music and Art Festival of 1969. They lingered into the seventies before being updated from a psychedelic band into the hard rock band Jefferson Starship. They were inducted by Mickey Hart and Phil Lesh of Grateful Dead. Members Jack Casady and Jorma Kaukonen founded blues rock band Hot Tuna. They provided the counterculture staples Volunteers and Wooden Ships. The latter was also performed by Crosby, Stills, and Nash.
