Jefferson Airplane

First released by Real Gone Music on "new dawn" blue vinyl, this new re-press of Jefferson Airplane's Woodstock set will be pressed on a "vibrating" violet color variant.  As one of the first acts to sign on for the festival, Jefferson Airplane embraced the spirit of the event from the start, but the band's Saturday night closing set was delayed to Sunday morning due to the rain that seemingly would never retreat.  The Airplane was up all night waiting for the OK to go onstage - which didn't arrive until 8 a.m. Sunday.  With guest pianist Nicky Hopkins joining, the band performed a scorching, nearly-two-hour set.  Now, listeners who may have missed out on the first run can enjoy the concert on vinyl once again, complete with liner notes from rock and roll authority Richie Unterberger and photos from official festival photographer Henry Diltz.
