JABase: Jefferson Airplane Set Lists, version 3.0
updated March 29, 2007
Changes in this version: check for a '#' for new or
updated listings (added since version 2.4)
This list began as a compilation of a list posted in January 1995 by the late
Johnny Blasi, and one I started compiling in 1988. Many errors have been
corrected from the first version, and new sections have been added for radio and
television broadcasts, movie appearances and known tapes. Any obvious errors are
noted, such as several shows with the same date. Also, dates often suffer
American/European transpositions, such as 11-2-69 being interpreted as November
2 or February 11.
The latest published version of this reference work can be found at Scott Abbot's Jefferson Airplane Homepage: http://home.myfairpoint.net/srabbot/airplane/
Special thanks to everyone who sent updates, including but not limited to: John Addie, Chip Chilton, Joey Covington, Dean Coy, Craig Fenton, Tom Hlousek, Adrian Johnson, Brian Moriarty, Bert Paul, Adam Schanke, Thomas Schmid, Mike Scotellaro, Michael Stelk, Lauren Taines, Dave Tamarkin, Jeff Tamarkin; and Johnny Blasi for getting it all started.
Some entries have been updated to agree with the listings in Craig Fenton's book "Take Me To A Circus Tent", although many entries here conflict with entries in Craig's book, due to additional new information not available when his book was written.
Anyone is welcome to post a link to this list on their web site, but please DO NOT post a copy of this list on your web page as it is constantly changing and I do not want a bunch of outdated copies floating around the web.
This compilation is provided as a service to fans and collectors of Jefferson Airplane performances, and may be distributed freely, provided it is neither published nor sold for profit, and that this notice appears on all copies.

Jefferson Airplane tapes in circulation
This is far from being a definitive list, but summarizes the average length and quality of most of the JA tapes in circulation. In the case of TV broadcasts, the quality is for the audio only.
Note: with the advent of CD trading and bit torrents, this list has become obsolete, but has been retained here for historical purposes.
Sources are as follows:
AU: Recorded from the audience
FM: FM broadcast
SB: Soundboard recording
ST: Studio recording
TV: TV broadcast (usually mono)
VT: Video tape
Quality is the average of tapes circulating for each date. Obviously someone must have high-quality masters, and there could be several source audience recordings for some shows, so this is just a general grade. Quality grades are P: poor, G: good, VG: very good, EX: excellent
Rarity: Range from 1 to 5 (1 = "everyone" has it, 5 = very hard to find)

Most of these are mentioned in the set lists, but are summarized in this section.
October 16, 1965 - Longshoreman's Hall, San Francisco CA
Although this show did take place on this date, tapes claiming to be this show are most likely edited from one of the Fillmore shows from October 14, 15 or 16 1966. Fat Angel in October 1965?? Donovan didn't record it until May 1966!
June 22 & 23, 1966 - Avalon Ballroom, San Francisco CA
Most Avalon shows are well-documented, and there is no evidence that JA played the Avalon on these dates. They did play the Avalon on July 22 and 23, and it's likely that tapes with these dates may be either of these shows, although July 22 is the most likely date since tapes of July 23 are not known to be in circulation.
October 5, 1966 - Winterland, San Francisco CA
Bill Graham's concerts are very well documented, and there is no proof that JA played the Winterland on this date. Since I have not seen this tape, I don't know what it really is, although I suspect it's one of the other common shows from thus run, either September 30 or October 7.
November 6, 1966 - Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco CA
A bootleg CD says this is Grace Slick's first show, but gives it this date. Although JA did play the Fillmore on this date, it is well documented that Grace's first show was the day after Signe's last show, which would date it October 16 1966. Although no one in the band mentions that this is her first show, or at least it wasn't on the tape, Grace's singing lacks the confidence of her later shows, and even the confidence of the late October Matrix shows, so in my opinion this tape is indeed Grace's first show and not November 6.
February 3, 1967 - Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco CA
Tapes with this date appear to be a compilation of earlier shows, probably from October or November 1966.
February 4, 1967 - Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco CA
Jam, 3/5 of a Mile In 10 Seconds, Fat Angel, Somebody To Love, often found at the end of this tape are from Toronto 8-5-67.
February 8, 1967 - Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco CA
Again, a date not listed in any Bill Graham or Fillmore documentation. I haven't heard this tape, but I suspect it's probably February 4, 1967.
March 3 or 5, 1967 - Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco CA
Another unlikely Fillmore date, since they were known to be playing New York City on this date. Possibly a mislabeled 8-5-67.
May 10, 1967 - another transposition of the October 5, 1967 studio sessions.
May 12, 1967 - Fillmore, San Francisco CA
This tape is Winterland 10-14-67, except Fat Angel from Toronto 8-5-67.
May 29, 1967 - Winterland, San Francisco CA
This show (from the "Loves You" boxed set), is from one of the Fillmore/Winterland shows earlier in the month. Also, the "alternate version" of The Ballad of You and Me and Pooneil on the boxed set is actually a live cut, probably overdubbed in the studio.
June 16 or 18, 1967 - Monterey Pop Festival
Their set was Saturday evening, June 17.
June 19 or 20, 1967 - Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco CA
Yet another copy of Winterland 10-14-67.
June 21, 1967 - Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco
Yet another mislabeled copy of Toronto 8-5-67.
August 3, 4, 5, 1967 - Losers, San Jose CA or Winterland, San Francisco CA
Although JA did play Losers on these dates in 1966, they were playing the O'Keefe Centre in Toronto on these dates in 1967. The frequently mislabeled August 5, 1967 tape is from the O'Keefe Centre, Toronto, although it is often listed as a Fillmore, Winterland, Matrix or Losers show.
September 5, 1967 - Studio rehearsals
Probably the October 5, 1967 rehearsals.
September 5, 1967 - Fillmore or Winterland, San Francisco CA
Actually Winterland October 14, 1967.
October 15, 1967 - Studio rehearsals
Also the October 5, 1967 rehearsals.
October 19, 1967 - Warfield Theater, San Francisco CA
Tapes with this date are probably an edit of October 14, 1967 and June 13, 1969.
October 31, 1967 - Terrace Ballroom, Salt Lake City UT
This is an entirely bogus show and date. JA were in Hollywood recording tracks for Baxter's, so it is highly unlikely that they would have traveled to Salt Lake City on the same day. This date is the fabrication of a bootleg cd producer, and the bootleg is copied from legitimately released live CDs, including the Fillmore show in the "Loves You" box, "Bless Its Pointed Little Head", and Woodstock. Also listed as "Langoon Opera House".
January 30, 1968 and February 1, 1968 - Matrix, San Francisco
All tapes of these dates are Matrix 2-1-68.
August 9, 1968 - Kansas City MO
Audience tapes of this date are really Kansas City KS, May 9, 1969.
September 15, 1968 - Concertgebouw, Amsterdam
The venue is frequently incorrectly listed as the Paradiso, Amsterdam. All reliable documentation, including the announcer on the radio broadcast, posters, and people who were there say it was at the Concertgebouw.
October 21, 1968 - Airplane House Jam
These tapes appear to be a mix of 2 Hot Tuna Matrix shows from 1969 and Mickey and the Hartbeats from the Matrix, late 1968.
October 30 and 31, 1968 - Matrix, San Francisco
Tapes with these dates are Matrix 2-1-68.
January 2, 1969 - Elysian Park (or Theater), Los Angeles (or Big Sur) CA
February 11, 1969 - Elysian Park (or Theater), Los Angeles (or Big Sur) CA
Actually November 2, 1969.
June 13, 14, 16, 1969 - Family Dog at the Great Highway, San Francisco CA
This run is a confusing mess. It was broadcast several times on a San Francisco station, once as the uncut concert and again as edits from more than one show. Some tapes even include 1967 recordings as this date. All tapes are from 6-13-69, with Pooneil and Eskimo Blue Day from the 2-4-70 tv broadcast.
July 9, 1969 - Winterland, San Francisco CA
Another Winterland date with no documentation. Tapes of this show are most likely the Family Dog, June 13, 1969.
August 2, 1969 - Fillmore East, New York NY
There is no documentation of JA playing the Fillmore East on this date. I believe tapes with this date are October 4, 1970.
September 1, 1969 - Baton Rouge LA
September 7, 1969 - Family Dog, San Francisco CA
Tapes of this show dated September 1, 1969 have been circulating for years. However, it was broadcast on the Deadhead Hour in 1996 as the Family Dog in San Francisco, September 7, 1969. A copy of this tape in the Dead's tape vault is dated September 7, 1969, and Dick Latvala and David Gans both believe this is the correct date and venue.
October 31, 1969 - Forum, Los Angeles CA
At least one bootleg album claiming to be this date is really Fillmore East, May 7, 1970. Check the set lists.
November 1, 2, 3, 1969 - Elysian Park, Chicago IL
There is no Elysian Park in Chicago, it's in Big Sur, outside of Los Angeles. The only date JA is known to have played Elysian Park of these dates is November 2. All others are probably mislabeled November 2 tapes.
February 23, 1970 - Auditorium, Dallas TX
Actually the Winterland, same date.
February 28, 1970 - Winterland, San Francisco CA
Fat Angel, Nothing and Mexico are from Winterland 2-23-70, Wooden Ships and J.P.P. McStep B. Blues are from Family Dog 6-13-69, and The Other Side of This Life is from LA Forum 10-31-69.
May 3, 10, 15, 1970 - Fillmore East, New York NY
June 15, 1970 - Fillmore East, New York NY
JA played the Fillmore East only on May 6 and 7, any other May 1970 dates for the Fillmore East are false. All tapes with these or other incorrect Fillmore East dates are usually May 6 or 7.
June or July 6, 1970 - Anaheim CA
Anaheim, February 7, 1970.
December 31, 1970 - Winterland, San Francisco CA
Tapes with this date are October 4, 1970. There is no evidence that JA did a New Year's Eve show, it is believed to be just Hot Tuna.
September 22, 1972 and October 3, 1972 - Winterland
There seems to be some confusion about this show. It's generally accepted that the last original Airplane show was on Sept. 22, 1972, with a live FM broadcast. Tapes and bootlegs exist credited to both dates, yet they are the same show. The September 22 tapes usually have "You Wear Your Dresses Too Short" as an encore, with Marty Balin. Bill Graham's records support the September 22 date.
