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.
