Jefferson Airplane's iconic music helped define a generation that focused on civil rights, environmental awareness and anti-war activism, and they appeared at the seminal Monterey Pop, Altamont and Woodstock music festivals. This concert will pay homage to the landmark recordings "Dragon Fly" and "Red Octopus," the latter of which propelled Jefferson Airplane to the top of the charts in 1975. Fronted now by singer Cathy Richrardson, star of "Love, Janis," the band also continues to perform a repertoire of hits spanning all eras of their existence, including "Somebody to Love," "White Rabbit" and many others.
