  By 1996, Jefferson Airplane had evolved significantly from their early days in the 1960s as pioneers of the psychedelic rock movement. The live recording of "Volunteers" at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame took place during a period when the band was participating in various reunions after their initial disbandment in 1972. This performance coincided with a resurgence in interest in their music, as well as the nostalgia surrounding the counterculture of the 1960s. Prior to this event, the band had released critically acclaimed albums like "Surrealistic Pillow" and "Volunteers," which featured some of their most iconic tracks. Interestingly, the band's music often served as a soundtrack to social change, with "Volunteers" being a particularly poignant anthem of activism and protest. The 1996 performance marked a reunion moment, celebrating their legacy and solidifying their influence in rock history.
