Album Description
In 1969, Jefferson Airplane was the band to book at a major festival. The first act to be confirmed for Woodstock, they set the precedent for all that followed. Their performance early Sunday morning was the perfect greeting to a rising sun, and the material from their forthcoming album, Volunteers, awakened the Woodstock generation to a new day.

Customer Reviews

Long, long overdue
I had often heard critics - a uniformly scurrilous lot - state that Woodstock was a relatively poor performance by the Airplane. Judging by the few available songs that had been released, I suspected that this opinion was nonsense. Having listened to this release (which would have required two discs anyway) twice, I feel utterly vindicated by their performance. Ending the set with the apocalyptic "House at Pooneil Corners" was absolutely perfect. I spoke to Chris, my son and a 26 year old guitarist in NC, yesterday. We discussed much of the garbage music/musicians from that era that is/are held in such high esteem today, while the Airplane is ignored or worse. He mentioned that many of his friends think of Jefferson Airplane as essentially "folk" music. I told him to have them listen to these discs. "Eskimo Blue Day", "Wooden Ships", "Volunteers" and the "Pooneils" are simply incredible both musically and conceptually. The whole set may well be the apex of the Airplane's performing career. Although I had to wait until I was 60 to hear this performance, I am absolutely thrilled to have these discs. The Airplane was great when I last saw them live in November of 1970 but this show represents the Airplane at its artistic peak.

Go Ride the Music!
I'm sure most of you already own the Volunteers CD, and are holding off on this purchase because of that. I say, don't let that sway your decision. This live performance is what we JA fans have been waiting all these years for. The complete show! And, what a show it is. I have most of the other live concert performances, and this one is the one to own (this and Bless It's Pointed Little Head)! Sit back, and let the Airplane take you for a ride. You won't be disapointed. Morning maniac music, indeed. Everything was definitely vibrating by the end of the second CD. Plenty of jams, and lots of high octane rock. Grace sounds fantastic, as well as all the rest of the band.

A defining moment!
I've waited at least 37 years to hear this, ever since I heard (and fell in love with) the Woodstock 2 performances. This blows me away. The ragged edges just add to the stellar fury the Airplane played with that ecstatic morning in 1969. What a way to wake up! Bonus? The sketch for Hijack they play at the end of The Ballad of You & Me & Pooneil. This is a very moving performance. Get it! So you get another copy of Volunteers -the price is right! Carry the fire!
