American psychedelic rock band from San Francisco, CA. During the late 1960s, the band epitomized San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury culture.

The band began in 1965 when singer Marty Balin met guitarist Paul Kantner. They began as a folk-rock group, added lead guitarist Jorma Kaukonen, drummer Spencer Dryden, singer Grace Slick, and bassist Bob Harvey, who was soon replaced by Jack Casady. The group was signed by RCA Victor, and their debut album charted at #128, selling 10,000 copies in the San Francisco area.

The band went through several lineup changes over the years but continued to make music and perform at iconic festivals like Woodstock and Altamont. In 1971, members Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady formed Hot Tuna but remained part of Jefferson Airplane. The same year, the group formed its own label called Grunt Records.

In February 1974, Grace Slick and Paul Kantner officially formed Jefferson Starship which marked the end of the original phase of Jefferson Airplane. The band was later inducted into Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 as a Performer.

Jefferson Airplane's first live album demonstrated the group's development as concert performers, taking a number of songs that had been performed in concise, pop-oriented versions on their early albums -- "3/5's of a Mile in 10 Seconds," "Somebody to Love," "It's No Secret," "Plastic Fantastic Lover" -- and rendering them in arrangements that were longer, harder rocking, and more densely textured, especially in terms of the guitar and basslines constructed by Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady. The group's three-part vocal harmonizing and dueling was on display during such songs as a nearly seven-minute version of Fred Neil's folk-blues standard "The Other Side of This Life," here transformed into a swirling rocker. The album emphasized the talents of Kaukonen and singer Marty Balin over the team of Paul Kantner and Grace Slick, who had tended to dominate recent records: the blues song "Rock Me Baby" was a dry run for Hot Tuna, the band Kaukonen and Casady would form in two years, and Balin turned in powerful vocal performances on several of his own compositions, notably "It's No Secret." Jefferson Airplane was still at its best in concise, driving numbers, rather than in the jams on Donovan's "Fat Angel" (running 7:35) or the group improv "Bear Melt" (11:21); they were just too intense to stretch out comfortably. But Bless Its Pointed Little Head served an important function in the group's discography, demonstrating that their live work had a distinctly different focus and flavor from their studio recordings.
