Dedicated to the memory of Paul Kantner on the two year anniversary of his 2016 death and 50 year milestone of the group's formation, Jefferson Airplane performs Somebody To Love and High Flying Bird (2:52) in concert at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival in Monterey, CA. White Rabbit (6:33) was live on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, televised in Hollywood, CA in 1967.

Jefferson Airplane classic lineup, from October 1966 to February 1970, was Marty Balin (vocals), Paul Kantner (guitar, vocals), Grace Slick (vocals), Jorma Kaukonen (lead guitar, vocals), Jack Casady (bass), and Spencer Dryden (drums).

From Lemonwire.com: When rock music fans think about the music of the 1960s, the Summer of Love and Haight-Ashbury, Jefferson Airplane is invariably included.

With lead singer Grace Slick and the guitar and bass powerhouses of (now late) Paul Kantner and Jack Casady respectively, the sound of Jefferson Airplane was certain to be appreciated by rock fans. The group’s popularity skyrocketed after they headlined the legendary Monterey Pop Festival. Their intricate grooves and thoughtful lyrics took the so-called hippie movement beyond noodling guitar solos and into acid rock. The music was the perfect backdrop for songs like “Somebody to Love” (1967), no doubt the most famous.

From their classic rock album Surrealistic Pillow, Somebody To Love is ranked 274 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
