I’ve heard a lot of people sing this song, and Grace Potter comes the closest to anyone in capturing that old Airplane magic.
Grace Potter is so under rated. More talent than anyone can count.
🤩More than Billie Eilish🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
All of them excel. They just lack the big $$ $. And to their credit they wouldn’t sell out! But the Nocturnals were special.
does any one got goosebumps listening to this song? psychedelic music at its best.
You are correct ckuzu ; excellent taste !!!
Hell yeah....sent me back to my trippin years
YOU NEED TO WATCH " PINK " DO THIS LIVE .......🎤 PHENOMENAL !
Yes. I do.
Yes. She has another rooftop version in which she glisondoes up 2 octaves at the end.
I saw them do this at The Marquee Theater in Tempe and it came as close as anything I've ever seen to literally blowing the roof off the place. The crowd was going nuts, the band was on fire, Grace was somehow floating above us all -- I haven't done psychedlics for 40 years but I was flying on this song!
Dig that.
Well said. Saw her last summer, touring/fronting with Jefferson Starship. The show closed with White Rabbit and Somebody to Love. Grace was outstanding.
She does this song justice. Glad to hear it again. I won't compare it with Grace Slick at Woodstock. That was a long, long time ago. They say that Grace Slick wrote this in minutes and it just flowed out naturally.
She, above, doesn't have the "right" inflections as Slick, which made the song slick, not graceful. People just don't know how the pills were given out back then, how we were to behave. I've listen to the 1967 version and the song at Woodstock, and I prefer the 1967, Dick Cavett, version. I prefer the "Spanish" elements to the song. Slick said, "In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Slick mentioned that, in addition to Alice in Wonderland, her other inspiration for the song was Ravel's Boléro. Like Boléro, "White Rabbit" is essentially one long crescendo." That's what made this brief song so great. The mix of Alice and Boléro. If you don't know Boléro, listen to it. This song may be about hallucinogens, but it's sung by someone intellectual.
@@cynthiacoleman4577 There is zero dichotomy between the ingestion of hallucinogens and intellectualism. The drugs were ofyen taken to gain greater insight or connection. Some of the greatest writers, thinkers and artists used liquor to LSD and beyond to achieve a "higher state of mind"...
@@swrennie , concordo contigo. Alucinógenos podem elevar o espírito. Feliz comentário o teu. Um abraço aqui do Brasil!
I agree to the extent that "comparisons" damage artistic interpretation; but understanding the differences in those interpretations is also important. I agree that this version doesn't have the crescendo element of the Woodstock or original versions; but this was a truncated concert version, so that is understandable. As to the vocal phrasing, no artist wants to be a robot in their cover, but responsible artists adhere to the music; Grace did that here and it is to her credit that she maintained the essential integrity of the original but with her own vocal touches. It's a compelling performance. KDM
@@cynthiacoleman4577 very interesting comment. I can feel something's off with this cover as compared to the original. Sounds like a difficult song to sing the way Grace Slick was doing it.
Grace doing Grace 😍
Nothing can beat the original but this is very very good.
Have you heard the original?
Jefferson Airplane didn't actually play it first. It was performed and recorded by Great Society first, when Grace Slick was there singer, before she was in Airplane
@ray Go look up Pink's version. It's awesome
@@azsunburns xs
@@user-gh8wt2zi2n yu'r right , the first version by the great society is amazing
yes very good
What an interesting version of that psychedelic rock Classic !!! Love it. 🎸 🎼 🎤
She and her band is my new drug. Absolutely love her voice and she's absolutely gorgeous.
Grace's band is excellent ! This is not easy to do Grace !!
Grace has such a great voice and is soo beautiful!!!! I think this version was done perfectly!! They added their own vibe but kept it respectful!!
WOW! I've enjoyed numerous covers of this song, but WHY did it take so long to find THIS ONE??? Truly awesome - and it would have been electrifying live, I'm sure.
The Nocturnals, such a great backing band!
Love this! Just added it to my "White Rabbit Obsession" playlist!
Got the pleasure of seeing Grace live she is an amazing singer.
Grace is just amazing! All that talent wrapped up in a sexy, sultry package. If you have not seen the Nocturnals live, you are missing out! So out and support this great group. The players are all extremely talented.
The music in the first minute is soo beautiful.
FYI, this was originally a Great Society song not Jefferson Airplane. Great Society performed and recorded it when Grace Slick was their singer. Being Graces song she used it when she joined Airplane. The original is actually different.
It's here on RUclips for you to check out 😉
My, aren't you an amazing archive of regurgative info.
grace potter does everything bettaaa. GPN woot woot
LOVE GARCI AND HER BAND SAW HER IN 2018 IN Wilmington NC
They were Good ✌✌✌✌🌟🌟🌟💜
LOVE her voice! One of my favorite songs!
Grace Potter singing Grace Slick- Sweet! This girl can sing anything that's for sure.
Very nice cover/homage, but it doesn't give me those chills and goose bumps like the original did the first time I heard it and fell in love, forever, with Gracie, way back in '66. :)
Covers can never surpass an amazing song, they can only do it if the original sucked.
havocgr1976
not necessarily true.... Jimi Hendrix took "all along the watchtower " and made it his bitch.... and many other dylan tunes....
You're both right, of course. I was speaking more to how this affected me at that time and no cover, no matter how good, can ever do that, still, this comes very close and certainly evokes that time wonderfully! (Agree about and "Watch Tower.)
@@havocgr1976 I'd say that, most of the this is true. However as others have mentioned, a cover that finds something new and powerful can be as good or better than the original. To add to the examples already mentioned, I would add Joe Cocker's rendition of "With a Little Help From my Friends". With respect to White Rabbit, at a Jefferson Starship concert about ten years back, Cathy Richardson was ill and local NY singer Sophia Ramos filled in. Her version was utterly faithful to the original and the way she prowled the stage like a caged animal and engaged the audience only enhanced her first-rate vocals.
I heard that song in movie The Game and since then i can't get it out of my head...
+Damn Son One of my favorite movies! Michael Douglas vs. CRS (Consumer Recreation Services) LR
I heard it first back in '67 or so and it has never really left my head. Rabbit, Volunteers, Somebody to Love, and Good Shepherd play back to back to back sometimes, depending on where my own head is being fed.
Nobody will ever match the impact of the Beatles, but for my own personal enjoyment of music, Airplane, REM, Pink Floyd, Clapton, Janis, Springsteen, and a few other bands rank right up there in a relative tie for first place.
I'm sitting here with chills and giggling to myself at 8:45 on a Sunday morning. They did this as the closer to a concert in Tempe Arizona several years ago and blew the roof off the place. This is what live music is all about.
Gives me goosebumps every time. Tis so very good.
Bravo. Singer!
I'm in love...
Grace just does a spectacular job at covering this song! She keeps its originality as well as keeping its legacy. Great job!
She is powerful. Just not in the same place as Grace S. reached, which is best female rock voice ever. Should I say I heard her and the Airplane in a coffee house on Boylston St in 67 . I still love this Grace too!
Wonderful cover of a classic song. I'm an instant fan of this band.
Listen to her do I shall be released at the concert for levon she made the house band almost cry
Righteous she's an old soul...
1968 war ich 9 Jahre alt und seitdem mag ich diesen Song!
Super gecovert!
This is simply awesome. Kudos, people!
Ця пісня довела свою геніальність крізь роки! Пройшло вже майже 60 років!!!
Oh man . Hello yeah!
GRACE DOES GRACE WITH GRACE !
It does my heart good to hear a new version of an older song done up right! Wait a second..... I'm not really from the 60's. (LOL)
WOw, My new favorite band, Bringing music back where it should be, Refreshing is what they are.
...KILLER voice, stage persona, energy, and MAD passion for what she's/they
re doing...amazing, IMO. I was lucky enough to come back from the restroom to the opening of this song at my GPN show on 7-7-11 in Indy. She/they played a four song encore and the whole time she's running around and dancing as if it were the opener!
Always loved the middle eastern groove this tune has!
I wrote a metal version of it sounds really cool
I had the oppurtunity to see Grace Potter and the Nocturnals here in my hometown of Sioux City at SATURDAY IN THE PARK on July 3rd,2011! They put on one helluva show! Very impressive!
Yes excellent !!!!
Man, Grace and the Nocturnals have settled into what I am gonna call, "An Interstate Groove...." Grace, the band together and individually are Epic Win. The kind of place and space that can last a while like driving across the continent. Bring that baudahss roadshow over our way people. Just lovin it.
MaddMikes
Definitely got the feel, love me some Grace (Slick and Potter)
By FAR the best cover of this song... blows Pink's away. It can't even be compared to Grace's because of how different their voices are. I watch this ever couple years. I'm going to go as far as to say in some ways it's superior to the original.
Love the song. There is danger and mystery in IT. . This is very good too
I got goosebumps listening to this , so good ..
i have generally never liked covers of this song, but i really like this. very good.
I saw Grace Slick and Airplane do this, this is soooo good.
Saw them perform this live at Nokia this last friday....INSANELY AMAZING and let me tell you all for the record:
SHE AND THE BAND DID THIS SONG MORE THAN JUSTICE....the crowd was dancing on their heads!!! Grace's voice swallowed us whole. :)
I saw Jefferson Airplane do this tune live in the SUNY Stony Brook gym in 1967 with about 200 people attending and this video just took me back there. Very few people could sing this and do it justice but Grace does it with ease. The new inproved Nocturnals sound great, can't wait to see you guys live soon.
Im gonna see grace potter at the house of blues in dallas november 10th. I begged my dad to let me go.
Also im gonna sing low road at my boys and girls club talent show wish me luck
Wow... she's been watching/listening to Grace ALOT !!! Not too bad.
What a brilliant cover and performance. They brought out this song’s Andalusian-Moorish heritage.
Soooo, 161 people thought so little of this performance that they actually hit the thumbs down? I'm sorry for you, this woman is simply awesome. I'm just amazed she isn't everywhere, given her talent, writing ability, playing ability, & looks, damn. It's kinda irritating.
I got chills listening to this, amazing.
This is actually a great cover, I am a 26yr old who loves classics and this gets so close to the original that it was a great listen and will be for years
This lady is simply amazing!
excellent cover. period.
The Matrix 4 trailer brought me here....and i am glad i did 💓💓💓
ew
That's it --that's the song, faithful b& true --and REAL good!
Grace Potter is so awesome
Great job . Nice .
Grace is very good, Gracie would be happy. It been awhile since I have talked to Alice...
Amazing cover that gave me chills down my spine. X3
She's a Force of Nature.
This is very good. I would love to come to a show.
attended SLU with Grace--we took a musics of the world class and she was such a trip. ironically, I did a project on a Jefferson Airplane album and I passed the vinyl around the room. The album was "After Bathing at Baxter's" and the cover was in flimsy shape. When Grace got it, the record fell out of the sleeve and she let out some sort of swear in the process, lol. Definitely miss the nights seeing her at Java and Yoga loft on campus. Keep up the good work Grace!
Grace is one of the few singers who does justice to this song...you need a powerful motor to deliver "White Rabbit" or it falls short...and Gracie has that powerful motor...
...it would also help if the singer is a drugged-out semi-psychopath like Grace Slick...I love the Grace Slick from the 60s...former I. Magnin model...tall Finch College bitch with a sexual appetite...intense "burn a hole thru' you stare...my kinda girl...
Wow! Great cover! I'm continually impressed with Grace's singing and the band's playing. The guy on the SG in the beginning was KILLING!! Awesome tone.
of all the covers to this song this one is far and away the best
I cant imagine anyone else covering that song she sounds great
awesome!!!
Definitely one of my favorite tunes . You have to have the right vocals to sing this for sure and you most definitely have those pipes for this tune.
Ottima performance🎉🎉❤
L'accelerazione in mezzo la fa più rock
I lived through the sixties and know the original well, but this Grace sends shivers down my spine. What a voice !
@Chris1345
Me too! So glad they had her on when they did. Mesmerized.
Grace Potter is Awesome.. Looking forward to seeing her in Austin!
Everybody comments on Grace. No question she is the focus. So much raw talent. But nobody gives the band it's due. They are the music. Grace is the voice.
Not too bad. It's a cover, not a tribute so they don't need to sound exactly like the original. They leave all of the basic elements of the song in, so I think that's pretty cool. Someone needs to be around to play these great songs to present, and future, generations of people. This one appears to be in pretty good hands.
Well said obbor4
I prefer this cover over the origial grace potters voca has more emotion than grace slick that just my opinion
A star is born
@@lightwav-bw1jj : I love Ms. Potter, but Nd. Slick is an icon of classic rock and has never been bettered. imho, she never will be, either.
@Pete Townshend : You're entitled to your opinion, with which I disagree. The cover drummer did add a slightly new element, but mostly it was just a matter of passion and strength, and as much as I love Airplane, this cover sounds good on the drum and guitar ends.
The tempo shift is everything that's great with this cover! 😍
Wow..I just discovered Grace Potter this morning when I saw her performance on GMA and she's amazing. I'm now going through and listening to everything, and I'm just amazed..talent beyond belief, and the band as well! I have always loved this song and it does it justice!
WE ALL need to call our local radio station and REQUEST HER SONGS! That will get her NOTICED!!!!! :) I think she'll "get there"....
I think I love you Grace Potter!
I agree. Lets face it nobody can compare with grace on the vocals but I really like the way they amped up the arrangement
Not bad, but I couldn't help thinking that if anyone had written this song and performed it nowadays from scratch, it would quickly be forgotten. It was Jefferson Airplane and Grace Slick that made this song what it was... and still is. A great song sung and performed perfectly.
Wow
I love that Benny's just smoking a cigarette while playing on stage. I find it hilarious!
Grace and the band kick ass on this. love it, love the Nocturnals. love the Airplane.
Wow Grace has a wonderful voice and is super pretty. I only wish it was a 20 minute version.
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small
When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's off with her head
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head
Feed your head
Saw Grace in Austin at the festival. She played at about 2:00 in the afternoon and stll managed to have the whole place rocking!
Love your voice.❤️
And the instrumentation is superb.
All in all a tremendous performance.
I always loved this song...Never knew the words, or who sang it...But I saw them on Talking To Strangers and HERE I AM!... GREAT SONG...GREAT BAND...
Excellent!
She should've been rock'N in the 60's'/!!! Best cover rendition of this song I've ever heard'/!!!
Please bring THIS band back Grace.
Love it asd
Wow! Catherine Popper. Great to see her with Grace.
They played at our blues festival(Fort Smith,Ark)a couple of years ago and they played this song---incredible live band..
