Jefferson Airplane - 1967-08-05 - Toronto (SBD)

1967 - It was billed as the summer of love. In the wake of the Monterrey Pop Festival in June 1967, the flower power generation and psychedelic rock music, both of which had become synonymous with San Francisco, were firmly embedded in the public consciousness. On July 7, Time Magazine featured a cover story entitled, The Hippies: The Philosophy of a Subculture. It is estimated that around 100,000 people traveled to San Francisco in the summer of 1967. The media was right behind them, casting a spotlight on the Haight-Ashbury district. Albums such as Sgt. Pepper's by the Beatles and Surrealistic Pillow from San Francisco's own Jefferson Airplane, with their vivid imagery and allusions to drug use, climbed to the top of the Billboard charts. Ever the sharp eyed promoter, Bill Graham took the Airplane and Grateful Dead on tour across the US and into Canada, billing the shows as "Bill Graham Presents The San Francisco Scene" in order to capitalize on the attention that the city of the Golden Gate Bridge had been receiving. This soundboard recording captures the Jefferson Airplane during that tour, on August 5, 1967, 46 years ago today, in Toronto.
