It is interesting that a show featuring Signe's last vocal performance would begin with a nice long jam - an instrumental track.
At this point, Jefferson Airplane had one album out, Jefferson Airplane Takes Off, and at this concert they did five songs from it: "Runnin' Round This World," "Tobacco Road," "Come Up The Years," "And I Like It" and "Chauffeur Blues." The band had been together for only a year, but it's clear from this recording that they'd already developed their own sound, powered both by incredible vocals and exploratory jam sections.
Bill Graham introduces the band, saying "Candidates for the Sexual Freedom League, Jefferson Airplane." Then begins the low rumble of the "Takes Off" intro - yes [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], an airplane lifting off. And the band launches into an intense jam.
Jam
Here is a taste of the lyrics: "Do away with people laughing at my hair/Do away with people frowning on my precious prayers/Take me to a circus tent/Where I can easily pay my rent/And all the other freaks will share my cares." Oh yes, those are certainly lyrics from San Francisco, 1966.

"3/5 Of A Mile In 10 Seconds"
Jefferson Airplane's rendition of "Tobacco Road" is slightly slower than that by The Nashville Teens. It's heavier, more b
One of the characteristics of the San Francisco music at this time was the ability to improvise and to extend songs and venture into new territory. Not just the ability, but the passion for it. And Jefferson Airplane immediately shows its ability and zeal and willingness to take chances. And listen to that bass.
Jefferson Airplane shared the bill that night at the Fillmore Auditorium with Butterfield Blues Band and Big Mama Mae Thornton. Tickets were $2.50
"Tobacco Road"
Signe, in all the early photos of the band, seems more wholesome, more innocent, than Grace Slick. But listening to her belt out these tunes, it's clear that her rock goddess self lurked beneath the surface, and came out in performance. It must have been something to see her in concert.
Jefferson Airplane is a band that always gave it their all - they poured themselves into their music. The passion and earnestness of this band can be heard especially in the vocals. This is a great early version of "3/5 Of A Mile In 10 Seconds," a song that would be featured on their most famous album, Surrealistic Pillow (1967).
"Runnin' Round This World" is a song from their first album [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], their only record at this point - Jefferson Airplane Takes Off (1966). This song mixes pop and folk elements, making it a lighter song than a lot of the band's material. But it's a fun tune, written by Marty Balin and Paul Kantner.
"Runnin' Round This World"
Fans of the 1960s San Francisco music scene can rejoice. Collectors' Choice Music is releasing four albums of live Jefferson Airplane performances. The first [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], whose full title is Live At The Fillmore Auditorium 10/15/66 Late Show - Signe's Farewell, contains vocalist Signe Anderson's final performance with the band. Most people are aware that Grace Slick was not the original female singer for Jefferson Airplane. Signe Anderson was. This CD release is important for many reasons, especially as it is the first official live concert release with Signe on vocals. As such, it's an important document of the band's early development.
