Jefferson Airplane

Great Society

1965

Airplane Pre-History

Marty Balin, an aspiring folk singer, forms a ‘folk-rock’ group with his friend Paul Kantner. With his father, he finds investors to buy a sleepy pizza joint at 3138 Fillmore, in the Marina District, renames it the Matrix and decorates the club with murals in a new, hip style. After asking around and auditioning musicians, Kantner and Balin decide on the following lineup:

Marty Balin-vocals Signe Toly-vocals (she would later become Signe Andersen) Jorma Kaukonen-lead guitar Paul Kantner-guitar, vocals Bob Harvey-bass Jerry Peloquin-drums

Initially, although Jorma Kaukonen—hitherto the hottest solo acoustic blues picker in the South Bay—played electric guitar (including an electric 12-string), Kantner and bassist Bob Harvey simply played amplified acoustic guitar and bass. Harvey, Kantner and Toly were basically folkies, while Peloquin had drummed with various jazz groups. Kantner and Balin knew each other from the SF coffee-house folk scene, and Kantner knew Kaukonen as a fellow former student of the University of Santa Clara (as well as from the South Bay folk scene).

August 13, 1965 Matrix, San Francisco, CA (First gig, opening night of the Matrix)

There were probably several other Airplane gigs at the Matrix in August and September. In fact, the Airplane may have played many nights at the Matrix during this period, as their equipment was there and they rehearsed there.

(Although most sources list this as October 22, 1966, that date is unlikely since they were playing in California that week and they would not travel to Iowa for one show, so I believe this was in 1967 and it is more logical than 1966 since they played in Pittsburgh the previous night.
