1960s - #3: In late 1966, the Jefferson Airplane recruited Grace Slick, and the rest, as they say, was history. Over the course of the next 6 months, the Airplane took center stage as one of the leading bands of the new psychedelic rock movement that emerged from San Francisco. Their breakthrough album, Surrealistic Pillow, produced by the Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia, and released in February 1967, spawned two huge hits, Somebody To Love and White Rabbit, both powered by Grace's vocals. The Airplane played at the Human Be-In in January and then at the Monterrey Pop Festival in June, helping inaugurate the Summer of Love, in which thousands of young people converged on the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco. This soundboard recording captures when it all started, Graces's first night with the Airplane, on October 16, 1966, 58 years ago today.

Nico - These Days | Zero G Sound

Nico - These Days - My Funny Valentine (Bootleg)

















Nico was a model, actress, chanteuse, and former Velvet Underground frontwoman known for her sultry voice and ice-goddess presence.

The original goth rocker, Nico's albums are demanding and bleak, but map a unique and starkly powerful vision that has become more influential with age. An intimate of Bob Dylan, Jackson Browne, the Velvet Underground, the Stones, Jim Morrison, Iggy Pop, and others, her fascinating story is recounted in the biography "Nico: The Life & Lies of an Icon" by Richard Witts, published in Great Britain by Virgin books; "The End" by James Young is a seedy look at her drug-addled final years by a member of her touring band.

This is a compilation with tracks recorded live between 1968 and 1974 in New York City. It was released as "These Days" and - with the same tracks - as "My Funny Valentine".

Tracklist:

1 Heroes 9:20
2 Procession 4:45
3 My Funny Valentine 4:13
4 All Tomorrow's Parties 5:27
5 Secret Side 3:13
6 Femme Fatale 3:08
7 The End 9:52
8 The Fairest Of The Seasons 4:08
9 These Days 3:33
10 Little Sister 4:26
11 Winter Song 3:22
12 Chelsea Girls 7:28
13 I'll Keep It With Mine 3:24
14 Somewhere There's A Feather 5:53
15 Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams 5:19
