Jefferson Airplane

Live at the Monterey Festival's cover photograph wasn't actually taken at the seminal 1967 concert. But no worries: the eight-track set inside is all Monterey, and it smokes. Although the Airplane had yet to morph into the acid-rock behemoth of 1968, the band's early performances were always visceral affairs full of bluesy folk-rock. Leads vocalists Grace Slick and Marty Balin soar, especially on "High Flyin' Bird." Jorma Kaukonen, meanwhile, invents psychedelic guitar with every searing lick.
