Jefferson Airplane

• The group consisted of Marty Balin

(vocals), Jack Casady (bass),

Spencer Dryden (drums), Paul

Kantner (vocals, guitar), Jorma

Kaukonen (guitar, vocals), Grace

Slick (vocals, keyboards, flute,

recorder).

• Marty Balin founded Jefferson

Airplane in 1965

• They supported boldly

antigovernment political views and

served as a force for social change,

challenging the prevailing

conservative mind set in “White

Rabbit” and issuing a call to arms in

“Volunteers.”

• Surrealistic Pillow (1967) yielded the Top Ten hits “Somebody to Love” and “White Rabbit,”

making the Airplane the most commercially successful band on the underground-oriented San

Francisco scene. The album stayed on the charts for over a year and peaked at #3.

• Surrealistic Pillow included surreal psychedelic raves with titles like “3/5 Mile in Ten Seconds,”

and “She Has Funny Cars” It closed with a stark, lengthy, unrehearsed and chorus-free ballad,

“Comin’ Back to Me,” which featured “spiritual advisor” Jerry Garcia (of the Grateful Dead) on

guitar.

• In 1969 the Airplane performed at both the Woodstock and Altamont rock festivals and released

their most overtly political album, Volunteers. Afterward, the group gradually frayed under the

weight of differing viewpoints.

• Jefferson Airplane formally evolved into Jefferson Starship in 1974, achieving considerably more

commercial success in the Seventies than the Airplane had known in the previous decade.

Hendrix

• Jimi Hendrix was arguably the

greatest instrumentalist in the

history of rock music.

• Hendrix was born Johnny Allen

Hendrix on November 27th,

1942, in Seattle.

• Hendrix, a left-hander, played a

right-handed guitar without

restringing it, a unique stylistic

quirk.

• He expanded the range and vocabulary of the electric guitar into areas no musician had ever

ventured before. His boundless drive, technical ability and creative application of such effects as

wah-wah and distortion forever transformed the sound of rock and roll.

• In 1966, he relocated to London. There he formed a trio with two British musicians, bassist Noel

Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell. The Jimi Hendrix Experience held its first rehearsal on

October 6, 1966 – coincidentally, the very day that possession of LSD became illegal in the U.S.

• Hendrix helped usher in the age of psychedelia with his 1967 debut, Are You Experienced?

• The Jimi Hendrix Experience recorded three landmark albums - Are You Experienced?, Axis: Bold

As Love and Electric Ladyland - in a two-year period.

• A long-simmering disagreement between Redding and Hendrix fueled by Hendrix’s desire to

explore other musical areas, led to the disbanding of the Jimi Hendrix Experience in June 1969.

• Hendrix debuted a short-lived experimental band called Gypsy Sun & Rainbows at the

Woodstock music festival. He took the stage on 7:30 a.m. on August 18th, 1969.

• Hendrix’s feedback-drenched version of “The Star Spangled Banner” was a highlight of the two-

hour Woodstock film documentary, as Hendrix evoked the pyrotechnic sounds of war in the

jungles of Vietnam as he interpreted the National Anthem for a young and increasingly war-

weary generation.

• He performed his last concert in Germany on September 6, 1970. On September 18, 1970 he

died from suffocation, having inhaled vomit due to barbiturate intoxication. He was 27 years

old.

Janis Joplin - (vocals; born Jan 19, 1943, died Oct 4, 1970)

• She has been called “the greatest white urban blues and soul singer of her generation.”

• She performed folk blues on the coffeehouse circuit in Texas and San Francisco before hooking

up with Big Brother - guitarists James Gurley and Sam Andrew, bassist Peter Albin and drummer

David Getz

• Joplin’s tenure with Big Brother may have been brief, lasting only from 1966 to 1968, but it

yielded a pair of albums that included the milestone Cheap Thrills.

• Joplin left Big Brother in December 1968, taking guitarist Sam Andrew with her.

• Her first solo album, I’ve Got Dem Ol’ Kozmic Blues Again Mama!, appeared in 1969, and she

toured extensively with her Kozmic Blues Band.

• By mid-1970, however, she’d dissolved that group and formed a superb new one, Full-Tilt

Boogie.

• Joplin had often sought refuge in drugs and alcohol, and she was found dead of a heroin

overdose in a Hollywood hotel room on October 4, 1970.

• The posthumously released Pearl – the title was her nickname – comprised nine finished tracks

and one instrumental to which she was supposed to have added vocals on the day she died. It

was titled “Buried Alive in the Blues.”

• Pearl became Joplin’s biggest seller, holding down the #1 position for nine weeks in 1971.

• Janis Joplin has passed into the realm of legend: an outwardly brash yet inwardly vulnerable and

troubled personality who possessed one of the

most passionate voices in rock history. It could be

argued that her legacy has as much to do with her

persona as her singing

Santana

• Carlos Santana (guitar, vocals), Jose Chepito Areas (timbales), David Brown (bass), Mike Carabello

(congas;), Gregg Rolie (keyboards, lead vocals), Michael Shrieve (drums)

• Santana’s guitar solos and the piercing, sustained tone have made him one of rock’s standout

instrumentalists.

• Santana’s belief is that music should “create a bridge so people can have more trust and hope in

humanity.”

• Santana was born in Autlan de Navarro, Mexico, in 1947.As a young violin prodigy, he performed with his

father’s band on the streets of Tijuana and then switched to guitar after hearing blues and rock and roll.

• Carlos formed the first version of Santana in 1966. As the Santana Blues Band, they played the clubs in

San Francisco.

• Santana’s performance at Woodstock in August 1969 was one of the festival’s surprise hits.

• Debut album Santana was released in October 1969. It shot to #1 and yielded two hit singles: “Jingo” and

“Evil Ways.”

• The group reached its popular peak later that year with Abraxas and its hit singles, “Black Magic

Woman/Gypsy Queen” and “Oye Como Va.”

• The year 1972 found Santana moving in a more

experimental direction with Caravanserai.

Personnel changes followed as Carlos Santana

began functioning as both bandleader and solo

artist

• Santana cut Supernatural (1999). Supernatural has

sold 21 million copies and launched #1 hits in

“Smooth” and “Maria, Maria.”

• Santana’s resurgence culminated with a sweep of

the 42nd Annual Grammy Awards on February 23,

2000. That night, Santana and Supernatural won

Grammys in nine categories

Sly and the Family Stone

• Sly and the Family Stone took the Sixties ideal of a generation coming together and turned it into deeply

groove-driven music.

• Rock’s first integrated, multi-gender band

• They synthesized rock, soul, R&B, funk and psychedelia into danceable, message-laden, high-energy

music. In promoting their gospel of tolerance and celebration of differences

• Sly and the Family Stone came together late in 1966, with keyboardist/vocalist Stone recruiting family

members: his sister Rose (keyboards, vocals), brother Freddie Stone (guitar) and cousin Larry Graham

(bass). The group was rounded out by Cynthia Robinson (trumpet), Greg Errico (drums) and Jerry Martini

(sax). Their first single appeared on a local label in 1967, while their debut album, A Whole New Thing,

was released nationally on Epic in 1968.

• The group connected with the rising counterculture by means of songs that addressed issues of personal

pride and liberation

• Sly and the Family Stone dominated the late Sixties charts with such essential singles as “Dance to the

Music” (#8 pop, #9 R&B), “Everyday People” (#1, pop and R&B), “Hot Fun in the Summertime” (#2 pop, #3

R&B) and “Thank You Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin” (#1, pop and R&B).

• “There’s a Riot Goin’ On” (1971), which captured the souring mood of the country no less than the sound

of his own ship going down. During this period, Sly and the Family Stone became notorious for missing

concert dates, success with singles such as “Family Affair” (#1, pop and R&B).

• A realignment in group members occurred in 1972, and Stone led the band through a couple more albums

- Fresh (1973) and Small Talk (1974)

• After 1974, the releases became increasingly sporadic and Stone himself appeared to drop from sight

Grateful Dead

• Tom Contanten (keyboards),

Jerry Garcia (guitar, vocals),

Donna Godchaux (vocals), Keith

Godchaux (keyboards), Mickey

Hart (drums, percussion), Robert Hunter (lyricist), Bill Kreutzmann (drums), Phil Lesh (bass, vocals), Ron

“Pigpen” McKernan (keyboards, harmonica, vocals), Brent Mydland (keyboards, vocals), Bob Weir (guitar,

vocals), Vince Welnick (keyboards).

• The Grateful Dead shaped a psychedelic atmosphere of the Sixties. They also kept the spirit of the Sixties

alive in the decades that followed

• Their fans were known as “Deadheads.”

• Their albums supplemented singles and concerts became improvisational marathons.

• Their signature song was “Dark Star,” an extended piece that never got performed the same way twice.

• Highlights of the group’s recorded legacy include

o Anthem of the Sun (1968)

o Live/Dead (1969)

o Workingman’s Dead (1970)

o American Beauty (1970)

• Deadheads and critics alike insisted that the best way to experience the group was in concert, where the

mystical band-fan bonding ritual drove the music to improvisational peaks.

• His health improved in the wake of those crises, revitalizing the Dead through a period of heightened

activity that included the 1987 hit album In the Dark and Top Forty single ("Touch of Grey").

• Drugs haunted the Grateful Dead, who lost keyboardist Brent Mydland to a fatal overdose in 1990. Garcia

himself died on August 9, 1995, at a treatment facility in California, where he’d gone to seek help for his

heroin addiction.

• They played their last concert the previous month at Soldier Field in Chicago in July of 1995.

Crosby Stills and Nash

• David Crosby (vocals, guitar), Graham Nash (vocals,

guitar), Stephen Stills (vocals, guitar, keyboards,

bass)

• The trio brought harmony to the forefront of

popular music with their unique three-part vocal

blend.

• A low-key supergroup, they emphasized singing and

songwriting above all

• They met in 1968, with Cass Elliot of the Mamas and the Papas making the introductions.

• Their debut album-simply titled Crosby, Stills & Nash-arrived early in the summer of 1969

• Woodstock marked their second public appearance.

• Still’s instrumental virtuosity and the trio’s inspired songwriting-which spoke the language of the

counterculture both in personal and political terms

• Deja Vu, a more eclectic and electric endeavor in which the group expanded with the addition of Neil

Young

• Shortly after its release, CSNY recorded “Ohio,” a song written by Young in response to the killing of four

students at Kent State University by National Guardsmen during an antiwar protest.

• Performing acoustic and electric sets highlighted by guitar duels between Stills and Young and the

foursome’s affecting harmonies, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young became a major concert attraction.

• CSNY disbanded in 1971.

• The quartet regrouped in 1974 to undertake rock’s first stadium tour.

• CSN, a 1977 album by the trio, yielded a Top Ten hit in Nash’s “Just a Song Before I Go.” Daylight Again

(1982) and, “Wasted On the Way.” Its subject was the band’s combative chemistry. “We have wasted an

enormous amount of time on petty issues that should never have kept us from making music,”

• CSNY made its second studio album, American Dream, in 1988, and reunited again in the late Nineties to

cut Looking Forward.

• “They used to say we were speaking for our generation, and I think that it’s still true,” Crosby noted. “You

hear a lot of music these days about rage and frustration and anger, but not much about hope and love

and forward motion. That’s what we want to continue to stand up for.”Or, as Stills once succinctly put it,

“Changes, that’s what our stuff is about: emotional, intellectual, musical.”

–

• Originally called The Golliwogs

• often abbreviated CCR or Creedence

• The group had suffered a setback in 1966 when the draft board called up John Fogerty and Doug Clifford

for military service.

• Woodstock. Their set was not included in the Woodstock film or its original soundtrack because John

Fogerty felt the band's performance was subpar. (Several CCR tracks from the event were eventually

included in the 1994 commemorative box set.)

• Songs

o "Suzie Q"

o "Proud Mary”

o remake of the rock & roll classic "Good Golly Miss Molly"

o "Keep On Chooglin'", the entire song has only one chord: E7.

o "Bad Moon Rising”

o Travelin Band

o "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?."

o

• The speedy "Travelin' Band", however, bore enough similarities to "Good

Golly, Miss Molly" to warrant a lawsuit by the song's publisher; it was

eventually settled out of court.

• "Creedence Clearwater Revival, which disbanded in 1972
