Jefferson Airplane, one of the pioneering bands of the 1960s counterculture, continues to make waves more than half a century after their formation. In an exciting turn of events for fans old and new, the legendary rock band has announced the release of a never-before-heard live recording from their iconic performance at the Fillmore in 1969. The live album, titled Flight of the Airplane, captures the band’s raw energy and groundbreaking fusion of folk, rock, and psychedelia that defined their era.
This release is not only a treat for longtime fans, but it also introduces Jefferson Airplane’s revolutionary sound to a new generation. The album features some of the band’s biggest hits, including “Somebody to Love” and “White Rabbit,” with electrifying live renditions that showcase their improvisational brilliance. The recording had been locked away in the vaults for decades, and the band’s surviving members, including Grace Slick and Jorma Kaukonen, have worked together to bring this piece of rock history to the public.
In addition to the live album, the band has confirmed a limited-run reunion concert series to celebrate the release. The shows will feature a lineup of surviving members and guest musicians, promising a musical journey that spans their storied career. These performances will be a rare opportunity for fans to experience Jefferson Airplane’s unparalleled stage presence live once again.
Grace Slick, known for her powerful vocals and iconic stage persona, expressed her excitement about the new album: “It’s like rediscovering a part of ourselves, and I can’t wait to share it with the world. Music is timeless, and this is our way of keeping the spirit of Jefferson Airplane alive.”
With this new release and concert announcement, Jefferson Airplane proves once again that their music remains as relevant and vibrant as ever, solidifying their place in the pantheon of rock legends.
