“After Bathing at Baxter’s” is Jefferson Airplane’s third album, which was inspired by the Beatles’ “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts club Band.” The psychedelic group from San Francisco wanted to go with a more experimental approach. Gary Blackman, a friend of the band came up with the title. “After Bathing at Baxter’s” really means after “bathing taking LSD.” Baxter was the band’s code word for LSD.
