“BLESS ITS POINTED LITTLE HEAD is an archetypal

“BLESS ITS POINTED LITTLE HEAD is an archetypal live album, and it really is a live album. There’s no overdubbing. There are no redone vocals. That is the Airplane at its peak.” - Jorma Kaukonen

“The Berkeley Festival became a key node in an emerging international circuit of folk music festivals in the 1960s and a crucial gathering site for the West Coast folk revival.” - Michael J. Kramer, assistant professor of history at Brockport

This month in 1966, the Airplane hit the stage at the Berkeley Folk Music Festival. They performed at the University of California, Berkeley alongside Pete Seeger and Sam Hinton. Here’s a playlist recreating the setlist of that night → link in bio.

“[Signe Toly] Anderson belts out songs like ‘Chauffeur Blues,’ and elsewhere the Airplane reach cruising altitude on a nine-minute improvisation driven by throbbing bass lines.” - Mark Kemp, music journalist

“Chauffeur Blues” is known to be Signe’s signature number. Listen to it LIVE AT THE FILLMORE: link in bio.

“Joey [Covington,] Jorma [Kaukonen,] Jack [Casad

“Joey [Covington,] Jorma [Kaukonen,] Jack [Casady] and [Graham] Bond jammed for more than an hour during one of the band’s breaks, capturing the moment on a never-released tape that reveals Joey to be a powerful and creative rock drummer… with sheer strength, dexterity, imagination and sensitivity.” - GOT A REVOLUTION

Remembering the Airplane’s dummer, Joey Covington today. Joey recorded on some of the most loved Airplane albums like BARK, LONG JOHN SILVER, and VOLUNTEERS. Missing you, brother.

“On ‘In Time’ Kaukonen, Jack Casady, and Kantner spin a gentle yet complex web that surrounds Kantner’s vocal; here also Grace does a beautiful job of vocal embellishment, an object lesson to all practitioners of the art.” - ROLLING STONE

"I've learned that, like mutating viruses, psychedelic drugs such as peyote or LSD seem to match their performance to an individual's makeup. The risk varies depending on a person's emotional, physical, and spiritual state." - Grace Slick

Remembering Timothy Leary today. Timothy was a psychologist who advocated the use of psychedelic drugs throughout the ‘60s. He coined the phrase, “think for yourself and question authority.” Sage advice!

“Jefferson Airplane would earn its place in the

“Jefferson Airplane would earn its place in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with music that was the epitome of the 1960s psychedelia: a molten, improvisatory mixture of folk, rock, blues, jazz, ragas, and more, sometimes adopting pop-song structures and sometimes exploiting them.” - ROLLING STONE

In 1996, Jefferson Airplane was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame by Mickey Hart & Phil Lesh of The Grateful Dead. Which JA album do you think captured 1960s psychedelia the most?

“The first LP I did with the Airplane, SURREALIS

“The first LP I did with the Airplane, SURREALISTIC PILLOW, was easy. We went into RCA’s Hollywood Studios, where they’d recorded Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and The Rolling Stones. It had a wooden floor. We put up our four huge Altec speakers and rocked. We had complete artistic control.” - @graceslickofficial

“We had motorcycles in the studio, nitrous oxide tanks, marijuana everywhere. Smoke rose out of the boards with Jack [Casady’s] bass overloading. We experimented with every button.” - Paul Kantner on recording AFTER BATHING AT BAXTER’S

AFTER BATHING AT BAXTER’S was the Airplane’s third studio album, recorded in the fall of ‘67. What do you think the album title means? Post your guess and hit play → link in bio.

“The summer of 1967 was a time of warmth and strife, drugs and war, poetry, visual art and mind-bending music, for which Airplane played a pivotal role, encouraging the growing hippie community to ‘feed your head,’ as the band’s seminal ‘White Rabbit’ espoused.” - VARIETY

What song do you think most shaped the west-coast ‘60s psychedelic rock scene?

“There was.. so much passion and involvement [in VOLUNTEERS] by the band members, which I think dovetailed with what was going on culturally.” - Jorma Kaukonen
