Part two of this Jefferson Airplane history picks up with the addition of Grace Slick to complete the classic band lineup. This video tracks the band's success from Surrealistic Pillow through Crown of Creation. Manager Bill Graham steers the band for a short period of time as the band dynamics take dramatic twist and turns.

I thank you.

For my birthday in 1967 my mother asked a record store clerk for advice to steer me away from the Beatles "drug albums" she'd heard about. So for my birthday that year my mother gave me After Bathing at Baxter's with its innocent looking cover. I can only imagine if she had been able to see the inner sleeve and hear that music.... but I don't think she ever realized what she'd given me.

There was nothing better than seeing the Airplane in a free concert in Golden Gate Park on a Saturday afternoon !

Sgt Peppers, The Doors and Surrealistic Pillow were my big three albums in 67. all pretty flawless.

I love After Bathing at Baxters most of all! One of the great records of the era. Wore out my share of copies. To my ears the Jack/Jorma/Spencer jam,  Spare Chaynge is astonishing even to this day. Plus Saturday Afternoon/Won't you Try can't be topped. Also, the Airplane boasted one of the top rhythm sections in all of rock with Jack and Spencer. They were telepathic together. Check out some of their live performances of the era, especially the Pooneils and you will hear what I mean.

I love Cassidy's bass on this album. It was thunderous. It not only held the bottom sonically, it drove the entire sound on the title cut and on House on Pooneil Corners with lots of rich harmonics.

After Bathing… is one of my favorite albums of the sixties.

I didn't know until just a few years ago that Grace had done the vocals on Sesame Street. To think that my first exposure to this most adult and psychedelic band was through a children's show!

After Bathing at Baxters is without doubt my favourite Jefferson Airplane album.

I remember that Levi's radio ad. I was about 12 or 13, and had only owned Beatles albums. I remember going into the record store over and over again, just staring at the front and back cover of Surrealistic Pillow. I wanted to buy it, but there was something about it that seemed scary, so I didn't. I was one of those white-bread kids who reacted to Sgt. Pepper by deciding to like the Monkees. But I named my cat Pooneil, even though I hadn't heard the associated songs. I just liked the name.

The outtakes make Baxter sound positively sane and grounded. 😵‍💫

Nice Matt! Bringing back a flood of memories. Grew up in San Francisco. Was only 10 years old at the time, and I was want to be hippie. My older cousins were real hippies, and I remember sitting in the rooms with their black light, posters, and cannabis smoke swirling around, listening to the airplane.
Sidenote: also remember an episode of get Smart when KAOS Spike the Washington DC water supply with LSD and the president (who would’ve been LBJ), fired the Air Force and replaced them with Jefferson airplane.
Looking forward to part three.

Jefferson Airplane are one of a handful of 60s groups that have never clicked with me tbh, so I am enjoying your history of the band Matt.

Another excellent video. The Jefferson Airplane series has been among your best in the band history category (and they are all great). Thanks, Matt.

Thanks Matt, we'll done! Thank you for the "trip" back to the bizarre time '66, '67 & ' 68. I was very young, grade school, but remember it well. The music scene was amazing, the dress, the politics the argot of the time...."far out".

Interesting stuff ty. Grace has stated many times publicly the latter "starship" years ie we built this city was crap, and compared to what this band was all about early on, vs the later years shes spot on. The early years were incredible. Grace is a God. Marty a genius.

It's fitting that Jack is on the cover of Bless because he drives the band on that album.

Great series. This band fully embodied that Summer of Love spirit. My childhood was in the 60s and, outside of the war, it was the best decade to live in. I'd give anything to go back to that time.
