The quintessential San Francisco psychedelic band and a defining force in popbefore turning toward political
statements in the late '60s. Jefferson Airplane was the first of the San Francisco psychedelic rock groups
of the 1960s to achieve national recognition. Although the Grateful Dead ultimately proved more
long-lived and popular, Jefferson Airplane defined the San Francisco sound in the 1960s, with the acid rock
guitar playing of Jorma Kaukonen and the soaring twin vocals of Grace Slick and Marty Balin, scoring hit singles
and looking out from the covers of national magazines. They epitomized the drug-taking hippie ethos
as well as the left-wing, antiwar political movement of their time, and their history was one of
controversy along with hit records. Their personal interactions mirrored those times; the group was a collective
with shifting alliances, in which leaders emerged and retreated. But for all the turmoil,
Jefferson Airplane was remarkably productive between 1965 and 1972

The final Jefferson Airplane studio album -- if their half-hearted 'reunion' from 1989 isn't (and really
shouldn't be) counted -- presented yet another alteration in the band's lineup. Not only would Long John Silver (1972)
be the second project minus co-founder Marty Balin (vocals), who left after Volunteers (1969), but
Joey Covington (drums) also split before the long-player was completed, forming his own combo, the short-lived
Black Kangaroo. Covington contributes to a pair of Paul Kantner's (guitar/vocals) better offerings
"Twilight Double Leader" and "The Son of Jesus," while Hot Tuna kinsman Sammy Piazza (drums) lends
a hand to Jorma Kaukonen's (guitar/vocals) whimsical "Trial by Fire." Eventually, Turtles' and
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young percussionist John Barbata (drums) would fill the drummer's stool
for the remainder of the Airplane's rapid descent. He would likewise make the transition alongside
Kantner, Grace Slick (piano/vocals) and Papa John Creach (violin) into the brave new world of Jefferson Starship.
Even more so than on their previous platter, Bark (1971), the material featured on Long John Silver
rather blatantly exposes the two disparate factions to have emerged from the once unified Airplane...(AllMusic)
