Synopsis"Jeff Tamarkin is an able guide through the tangled history of one of the Sixties' most musically visionary bands." -- Rolling Stone From a renowned music journalist, a close-up portrait of Jefferson Airplane, chronicling the band's origins in 1965 San Francisco and their role in defining the sound and culture of 1960s and 1970s rock 'n' roll. The most successful and influential rock band to emerge from San Francisco during the 1960s, Jefferson Airplane created the sound of a generation. Their smash hits "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit" virtually invented the era's signature pulsating psychedelic music and, during one of the most tumultuous times in American history, came to personify the decade's radical counterculture and paved the way for other Bay Area music greats, including the Grateful Dead and Janis Joplin. Having worked closely with Jefferson Airplane for more than a decade, Tamarkin had unprecedented access to the band members, their families, friends, lovers, crew members, fellow musicians, cultural luminaries, even the highest-ranking politicians of the time. More than just a definitive history, Got a Revolution! is a rock legend unto itself., The most successful and influential rock band to emerge from San Francisco during the 1960s, Jefferson Airplane created the sound of a generation. Their smash hits "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit" virtually invented the era's signature pulsating psychedelic music and, during one of the most tumultuous times in American history, came to personify the decade's radical counterculture. In this groundbreaking biography of the band, veteran music writer and historian Jeff Tamarkin produces a portrait of the band like none that has come before it. Having worked closely with Jefferson Airplane for more than a decade, Tamarkin had unprecedented access to the band members, their families, friends, lovers, crew members, fellow musicians, cultural luminaries, even the highest-ranking politicians of the time. More than just a definitive history, Got a Revolution is a rock legend unto itself. Jann Wenner, editor-in-chief and publisher of Rolling Stone , wrote, "The classic Jefferson] Airplane lineup were both architects and messengers of a psychedelic age, a liberation of mind and body that profoundly changed American art, politics, and spirituality. It was a renaissance that could only have been born in San Francisco, and the Airplane, more than any other band in town, spread the good news nationwide."

As crazy a time as we thought it was, if not more so.
This is an interesting story, especially for anyone who is old enough to have been a fan from early on (Surrealistic Pillow for most of us), and it's told well, with differing viewpoints without trying to be biased towards anyone who was willing to tell their side. It also answers a few questions about why people came and left. I wondered about all the drummers.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

If you are an Airplane fan, this is worth reading.
Tamarkin clearly did a lot of research. He does a great job tracing the history and development of the band. Well worth a read, though I wish it were available as an ebook. My aging eyes don't like small pring.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
