This incredible CD contains Grace Slick's first ever performance with Jefferson Airplane. On October 15, 1966, Signe Anderson did her last show with the band. The very next night Grace Slick had her debut. This CD, whose full title is Live At The Fillmore Auditorium 10/16/66 Early & Late Shows- Grace's Debut, contains both sets. (This CD labels them as "Early" and "Late" shows, but it was all part of one show; thus, no repeated songs.)
Grace Slick is acknowledged as one of rock's greatest female singers. Before joining the Airplane, she had been the lead singer of Great Society, another band of the San Francisco music scene. From that band she brought two songs to Jefferson Airplane ("Somebody To Love" and "White Rabbit"). But neither song was played on this first night with the band. However, the songs that were played included some great Jefferson Airplane classics, such as "It's No Secret," "3/5 Of A Mile In 10 Seconds" and "The Other Side Of This Life."
The band closed their second set that night with an incredible version of "3/5 Of A Mile In 10 Seconds," a song written by Marty Balin. Grace Slick must have made an impression on the folks that caught this show. And on the band. This was the second beginning of an important San Francisco band, and the seeds of greatness can be clearly heard on this recording.
