Grace Slick & The Great Society - 1968 - Live At The Matrix
The Great Society (aka The Great! Society!!) were a 1960s San Francisco rock band that existed between 1965 and 1966, and were closely associated with the burgeoning Bay Area acid rock scene. Best known as the original group of model turned singer, Grace Slick, the initial line-up of the band also featured her then-husband Jerry Slick on drums, his brother Darby Slick on guitar, David Miner on vocals and guitar, Bard DuPont on bass, and Peter van Gelder on saxophone. Miner and DuPont would not remain with the band for the duration of its existence. The Matrix, a renovated former pizza shop, was a nightclub in San Francisco from 1965 to 1972 and was one of the keys to what eventually became known as the "San Francisco Sound" in rock music. Located at 3138 Fillmore Street, The Matrix opened August 13, 1965 showcasing Jefferson Airplane, which singer Marty Balin had put together as the club's "house band." 01 - Sally Go Round The Roses 02 - Didn't Think So 03 - Grimly Forming 04 - Somebody To Love 05 - Father Bruce 06 - Outlaw Blues 07 - Often As I May 08 - Arbitration 09 - White Rabbit 10 - That's How It Is 11 - Darkly Smiling 12 - Nature Boy 13 - You Can't Cry 14 - Daydream Nightmare 15 - Everybody Knows 16 - Born To Be Burned 17 - Father LINK
