Live at the Fillmore Auditorium (10/15/66) late show - Signe's farewell

"Grace Slick was the female face of psych rock. But she wasn't Jefferson Airplane's original frontwoman. This concert disc (one of four newly released shows) is the first official live album to feature Signe Anderson, whose style is more folk-blues mama than icy acid queen. Anderson belts out songs like "Chauffeur Blues," and elsewhere the Airplane reach cruising altitude on a nine-minute improvisation driven by throbbing bass lines".

"The historical significance of this archival live recording is signaled in the subtitle, "Signe's Farewell," as this performance by Jefferson Airplane at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco on October 15, 1966, marks the final one for the band's original "girl singer" (as Marty Balin puts it), Signe Anderson. It is also the first concert recording from the Airplane's early days to see release, and it gives a better sense of the group than its then-recently issued debut LP, Jefferson Airplane Takes Off".
