About the image
The Great Society (also known as The Great!! Society!!) existed from 1965 to 1966, and was closely associated with the burgeoning Bay Area acid rock scene.

Best known as the original group of model-turned-singer Grace Slick, the initial lineup of the band also featured her then-husband Jerry Slick on drums, his brother Darby Slick on guitar, David Miner on vocals and guitar, Bard DuPont on bass, and Peter van Gelder on flute, bass, and saxophone.
