This Day in Rock History - August 13th

1965: The Jefferson Airplane makes its live debut at the Matrix Club in San Francisco. Before the year ends, they will become the first Bay Area band to be signed to a major label. (No, that’s not Grace Slick in the photo. That’s Signe Toly Anderson, who sang with the group until her first child was born. Slick was then named as her replacement.)
