Jefferson Airplane was a force of nature at their best. They were unlistenable at their worst. “Bless Its Pointed Little Head” was the first JA and first live album I ever bought. The version of “Somebody to Love” on this record is still my favorite. Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady are on fire here. I’ll sometimes just listen to Jack’s bass intro to “The Other Side of This Life” on its own. This is the album that started my JA fetish which ended when the follow-on band, Jefferson Starship, released “Red Octopus” and I swore them off forever.
