October-December 1968 Jefferson Airplane Performance List (Airplane X)

As a result of my research into other areas of Rock Prosopography, I have ended up with a fairly detailed list of Jefferson Airplane performances from 1965-69. Since I have no other plans for it, I am posting it here. This list leans heavily on the posted Jefferson Airpane set lists document by Scott Abbott, as well as information from Jeff Tamarkin’s fine book Got A Revolution, but it includes considerably more shows. Please forward any changes, updates, advice or criticism.

The previous installments listed known shows from Jefferson Airplane’s formation through 1965 and 1966. The first post in the sequence is here. This post covers known shows from October through December 1968.

October 3, 1968 [venue], New York, NY
Jefferson Airplane Whitney Museum Benefit

October 6, 1968 [venue], Clarkson College, Potsdam, NY

Jefferson Airplane/Ballet Afro-Haiti/A.B. Skhy

November 9, 1968 [venue], Long Beach State, Long Beach

Probably an outdoor show, since it started at noon.

November 16, 1968 Electric Factory, Philadelphia, PA
Jefferson Airplane

November 19, 1968 [Manhattan Hotel], New York, NY

The Airplane attempted a rooftop concert atop a 9-story hotel, but they created a nuisance and were shut down by the police.
