Page "Jefferson Airplane" Paragraph 14

In November 1965, Jefferson Airplane signed a recording contract with RCA Victor, which included an unheard-of advance of US $ 25, 000.

Prior to this, they had recorded a demo for Columbia Records of " The Other Side Of This Life " with Bob Harvey on bass, which was immediately shelved by the label.

On December 10, 1965 the Airplane played at the first Bill Graham-promoted show at the Fillmore auditorium, supported by The Great Society and others.

The Airplane also appeared at numerous Family Dog shows promoted by Chet Helms at the Avalon Ballroom.
