"White Rabbit" was the second "Summer of Love" psychedelic hit for this legendary San Francisco band. Written and performed by Grace Slick when she was still with The Great Society, she gifted the song to the Jefferson Airplane when she joined the group, making it their second Top 10 hit in the United States. It appeared on the band's album Surrealistic Pillow, which is among the very best rock albums ever recorded, let alone among the very best psychedelic albums ever recorded. "White Rabbit" debuted on Billboard at #50 and on the Cash Box Top 100 Singles chart at #59 on June 24, 1967. It peaked at #8 on July 29, 1967 on Billboard for two weeks but reached even higher at #6 on Cash Box on August 12, 1967. This is a SYNCHRONIZATION from the original track (on CD) of "White Rabbit" to the live broadcast performance of the song by Jefferson Airplane when they appeared on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour on June 25, 1967. It appears here in WIDESCREEN.
