The title pretty much sums it up! Jerry Garcia was supposed to have come up with the title to this album while hanging out with his friends from JEFFERSON AIRPLANE. SURREALISTIC PILLOW embodies the spirit of 67 in San Fran including the drugs, the free love, and the music scene. There was a real musical revolution going on in San Fran at this time. Bands were more friends than competitors and often played together on stage and in the studios. The spirit of the day was about creating the perfect sound not about egos or money. It was all about the music and that's the way it should be. SURREALISTIC PILLOW is a perfect example of what great music can sound like. This album is absolutely a perfect addition to any music collection. In my opinion, this is the best AIRPLANE album ever made. It is a perfect album to pretty much just listen to straight through. Every song is good and every song is different so there is no room for bordom with this one. With Grace just joining the AIRPLANE right before this album-she just perfectly blends with the rest of the band as if she was with them from the start. Her voice is magical and her presence is huge on this album. The traditional JEFFERSON AIRPLANE songs, like WHITE RABBIT and SOMEBODY TO LOVE, that you hear on the radio today are staples on this album. It also includes songs, like TODAY and PLASTIC FANTASTIC LOVER, that Jerry Garcia was supposed to have played on. SHE HAS FUNNY CARS is another favorite song of mine. I guess what I am trying to say is that this is a one of a kind album that everyone needs to own. It doesn't matter if you lived through this great historic musical revolution or if you are a newcomer who just needs a little perspective of how great this musical era was-BUY THIS ALBUM! You will be listening to it for years and years to come.Read full review
