+TheSciFiJovian Yes, I love to watch the original Star Wars movie, as well as Mel Brook's 'Spaceballs' that I think is hilarious! There is a rumor that there maybe a Spaceballs 2. I am eager to see it!
My uncle went to woodstock and told me it was the best concert ever nobody fighting just alot of smoking and hugging nothing but peace love and harmony .
Yeah, but a better story, in my opinion, was how Santana was told he had six hours before they went on stage so him and the guys in the band did some mescaline figuring they had time to trip then mellow out before showtime. An hour after dropping the mesc and just starting to trip they were told of a schedule change and they were going on NEXT! Can you imagine? Peaking on mescaline and performing in front of a few hundred thousand people all looking at YOU! They friggin' nailed it and I think it's one of the better performances of Woodstock. Somewhere on youtube I saw an interview with Carlos explaining this.
imo Whole eras of music are like centuries of history, too diverse to comment on generally. I'm neither crazy about nor negative about current music, which I guess is a kind of judgement of a sort. Got any examples of who you're referring to? imo
"Whole eras of music are like centuries of history, too diverse to comment on generally." - Spoken like someone who had been there. I tip my hat to you, sir.
Jack Casady, the god of bass. I was on stage for this set, working as assistant security manager for Woodstock. And, the $500 check for my work actually cleared. That was a solid chunk of change in 1969. ($500 in 1969 is equivalent to $3,500 in 2019.) You might imagine what I spent most of that money on after I paid the $200 rent on my apartment and paid my food tab at the Yellow Submarine Restaurant in New Hope, Pennsylvania. Hint: Puff, Puff, Pass. Oh, to be 18 again.
I love how the crowd is really paying attention to the music, not clapping or screaming at every single moment. They're just in the moment, enjoying music together.
the psychedelic supergroup in my mind would be Vocals: Grace Slick Guitar: Jerry Garcia Vocals: Bob "The Bear" Hite Drums: Corky Laing Bass: Jack Casady Guitar: Bob Weir
Loved how she was ad libbing words to the song during the guitar riff, but with one motion of the hand she got the band back on track to bring it home--that's professionalism, regardless of all the hippie vibe.
And she knew when to retire, too. As much as I would have liked to have had a chance to see her live (I was only 10 when she officially called it quits so I never did), I have to respect the decision to end on a high note rather than wait for her voice to sound all crappy like a lot of old rockers do. Props to her for that!
No internet, no computers, no cellphones. Great days, people talked and walked and laughed and loved. We talked about books and ideas and how we were going to change ourselves and the world. All such a long time ago, a different world.
So Aucourant, did you? All that talk about changing society... Most did not (except to advance technology--which is great). Most of the Hippies of the day are now even worse than the parents of society they were fighting; I know I was a kid (I'm still fighting society, in some ways), but I will Never be my parents (RIP)
sashasue00 The vast majority of people at the time weren't Hippies, they were a very, very small minority (most of whom dropped by the wayside and became drug addicts and dropouts). The rest of us were busy working, creating wealth for the next generation, and being creative. I was never at war with my parents and all of the people I knew weren't either. The changes we wanted were equal rights in law for women (which we achieved) and an end to pointless wars such as Vietnam (which we didn't succeed in). I quickly learned that you can't change society to any great degree, you can really only change yourself. I think I have, personally, succeeded in that to a great degree, but it is a life-long job that I am still working to this day. The 'advances' in technology, I would consider the worst thing the generation after mine were responsible for (this happened in the 90s), as it has taken the soul out of society. If I could have one wish for the present generation to improve their lives and be happy, it would be no more technology, no computers or mindless games, no cell phones or any of the other technological crap. All this shit is used to avoid reality and stop people really connecting with each other.
OK, maybe I used the term "Hippie" too loosely...Even though I was "way" young at the time, some still say I must have been a "Flower Child"...In some ways, maybe they're right...I remember the first Earth Day (out on the playground), but I live it every day...yet I see people from "that" generation who don't give a s* about anything but their McMansion...can't bother to recycle, help the homeless, whatever...It's not just about the cell phones (I don't use one), but the Heart that people talked about having. I read here all the time the hate (still) for people who went to Nam, yet I don't think most people understand what the draft was (I do, I had an older brother). That (your?) generation really Did change the world, but I guess it just wasn't up to my expectations, then ours went backwards...
sashasue00. Your generation is the wealthiest with the most opportunities any generation has ever had. Get in touch with your own creativity, read a lot, follow your heart. It's not my generation or any other that is to blame for the world and the way it is, we all create our own worlds. The problem is, there is too much out there now, it is harder to find the Path because of all the clutter.
lmao who in their right mind says that😂 I mean I love the 80s but late 60s/70s was just the high light of rock and hippie music and it was amazing cant really be compared to the new wave stuff
Yes. The AIRPLANE was outside of time when on stage. They were musical artists & performers par excellence. Grace was a magnetic sex goddess butt also a master front singer for the band. Saw them 3 times, all magical. Once Grace left the stage for 30 mins while Paul, Jorma & Jack jammed nonstop in one of the greatest performances of improvisation I've ever heard. They loved MUSIC! 👊🙏👏👏👏
HI IM NOT OLD ENOUGH AGE 65 TO HAVE SEEN JA AND GS LIVE WOW WHAT A UNIQUE COBINATION HER AMAZING VOICE AND ALL THE BANDS MUSIC HARMONIES ARE TOTAL OUT THERE MAN! YES ONE OF THE SUPERGREAT FEAMALE SINGERS OF ALL TIME YOU CAN IMAGINE GRACE DISAPPERAING DWON TAHT RABBIT HOLE WITH SOMBODY TO LOVE TRULY AN EPIC FEMALE GODESS I WOULD HAVE LOVE THE JE TO HAVE DONE THERE OWN UNIQUE LIVE COVER VERSION OF CALIFORNIA DREAMIN FAR OUT MAN
I was there and not too far from the stage -(only group I was able to see there from less than half a mile away). Don't know what time it was when they started but it was early and most people on the hillside were asleep, hence there was a way to get down to the general vicinity of the stage. It was a great set, better than some the night before. Grace Slick had great presence and passion and was unpredictable to an extent.
Awesome! It's not often I wish I was older than I am. I would have loved to have seen and heard her in her prime. Drop dead gorgeous with a killer voice!
This still gets to me like it was still 1969.....the music that was in my head when I shipped off to our lost war... glad I had somebody to love and she still does...Grace Slick was under-rated
Yeah, it's a shame. Some of the greatest performances of all time took place there but everybody was so fucking high they didn't care. Look at the crowds, they're just standing there.
We gotta get the real talent back on the "mainstream" the present day music scene is a nightmare. And a HUGE insult to the pioneers that paved the way. Shame how we went from this to where we are now in just a little over 4 decades. That really isn't that long ago when your think about how fast a year goes by..It almost makes you want to cry..
Val L. Not me, l love to watch and listen to this. l hate camping in mud and rain. They didn't get a great vantage point like us. l saw it in 1970 when it came out and we were all in the theaters stoned with as much to eat as we wanted and dry. Everybody was waisted watching it but the ones who were there were hungry and thirsty. The best part of being there that l saw was skinny dipping get in the lake with chicks.
Grace was interviewed saying something like 6:00 am... when they had been scheduled for something like a 9:00 pm appearance the night before. They stayed up all night waiting.
I still have the old tapes!From three days of Woodstock!!I must have recorded it when the original tapes were on tv!!It amazes me big time every time I see and hear it!I was born in 1961 and my memory does recall things….it was on tv back then!Or on the news or whatever!I must have been eight years old!I,m still posting Woodstock and every band that played there,if possible!I,m putting that on Facebook,on my timeline,for all my American and European friends,so they won,t forget!Thank you!!
Erica ter Haar you can buy it on Blu-ray or DVD for like $20 I think on amazon, it has all the bonus features. Definitely worth it if you're interested.
Crowd actually living the moment and fully enjoying the great musicians giving a hell of a show. No phones recording, no pictures or selfies being taken for IG or FB. Paying respect to the live experience and the artists. How it should be. Good times!
It's six in the morning after a 3 day festival. I love airplane, became a person that likes to jump out of airplanes because of them, but the crowd in this case is probably just very tired.
I love when y’all comment this dumb shit lmao. This was 1969. Instagram and Facebook weren’t even a thing nor were cell phones. Ppl can enjoy and pay respect by recording on their phone also. I’m sure the artist don’t even care since they’re the ones being paid and would be receiving more exposure.
That's because they didn't have the ability to do those things. If everyone possessed a handheld recording device at this time, you know they'd all be doing it.
I was there, i was seven years old. I remember the mud, the terrible food, and the pungent smoke that made me very sleepy and hungry. Most of the people seemed happy and kindly and i mostly have good memories of that time.
I was 15 and my folks wouldn't let me come along with my sister (who was 19). She went for the music, and came home with memories about the smell from the outhouse.
I was about 50 feet from the stage when they opened their set with this song at the crack of dawn - waking lots of hippies in their sleeping bags ... Like their "Surrealistic Pillow" album (that Jerry Garcia worked on) it was both surreal and psychedelic ...
Never forget Woodstock, one of a kind along with Gracie & others, I missed the Woodstock concert because I was in Vietnam, the music of the day among other things kept us going, never forget the event
I'm from a different country. But I'm glad the music of the day helped so much. I hate when people go on tourist trips of Vietnam, or find other ways of trivialising it. It wasn't my country's war, but I respect you for fighting in it. And I'm glad if music brought some humanity.
They went through a lot of drummers, but Jack and Jorma. . .what a helluva duo. It was Jorma's guitar that got me properly into this band, beyond the famous two or three songs. And Jack (along with Phil Lesh) that made me truly appreciate the bass.
Today January 28 2016 we just lost founding member of the Jefferson Airplane Paul Kantner who died of multiple organ failure he was 74 RIP Paul 1941-2016.
+Welt Rogg ...And maybe in the biggest picture... so fucking what? Maybe as such they brought much more positiveness to this world than many who would degrade them; like you? Maybe.
festyxfi sounds almost like the late great Hunter S. Thompson there buddy. "Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting-on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. . . .So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark-that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back"
@@walterpanameno3214 There are good musicians on RUclips. They are of generations y and z. They will let Hollywood come no closer than a kilometer toward them.
Perhaps the greatest achievement of the band was actually getting up and making it onto the stage that morning all at the same time given their combined pharmaceutical intake the day/night before. Then managing to actually play/sing the same song and delivering an absolutely epic sound is something of a miracle. 😆
3 Goddesses of Woodstock: Grace (Spirit), Janis (Body/Emotions), Joni (Mind). Joni, an unparalleled musician and lyricist, penned the song to memorialize THE event of the Psychadelic 60s. Martin, Joni was saying this in 1967- what we all know, and forgot, what we all yearn for, but cannot: “Woodstock” I came upon a child of God He was walking along the road And I asked him, "Where are you going?" And this he told me "I'm going on down to Yasgur's farm I'm gonna join in a rock 'n' roll band I'm gonna camp out on the land I'm gonna try an' get my soul free" We are stardust We are golden And we've got to get ourselves Back to the garden "Then can I walk beside you? I have come here to lose the smog And I feel to be a cog in something turning" "Well, maybe it is just the time of year Or maybe it's the time of man I don't know who l am But you know, life is for learning" We are stardust We are golden And we've got to get ourselves Back to the garden By the time we got to Woodstock We were half a million strong And everywhere there was song and celebration And I dreamed I saw the bombers Riding shotgun in the sky And they were turning into butterflies Above our nation We are stardust Billion year old carbon We are golden Caught in the devil's bargain And we've got to get ourselves Back to the garden
I love this performance at Woodstock. Check out their song “White Rabbit.” By JeffAir. Psychedelic but dark. Alice goes down the rabbit hole. Martin: I was looking through your archives and I watched the show where you were invited onto that radio program in Boston and I was really fearing that they were just setting you up to be humiliated, and you came on in the best attitude just very positive and you won them over! you didn’t come in thinking that they were going to be your enemy, and therefore you didn’t create an enemy!before you got on, they were just tearing you apart , “he’s totally crazy and who is this guy,” and I just thought “wow these guys are going to really set him up,” but just the way open way you approached them, nondefensive, you disarmed them! You helped them drop their cynicism; it was really great to see that. You answered very honestly, and acknowledged your own disbelief, and not knowing everything, but clearly you were telling them things that you knew to be true, and it jogged something in their brains because some of them admitted that they also have some big questions about what we’re presented as reality. And of course when from the first day of your life you are told that you live on a globe, It’s almost impossible to see the world any other way. They say that when the big Spanish Galleons came to the New World and were first on the horizon the Natives people could not see the boats because they had no concept of boats that big so they simply couldn’t see them! isn’t that in incredible?! We can’t perceive things when we have no concept of it; no notion that it could even be a possibility- we can’t perceive it right in front of us! People that Have been blind from birth, even if they can surgically make their eyes able to see, oftentimes the person still cannot make out the world because that part of the brain that takes the sensory inputs, processes and perceives visually was never developed. you need not just your eyes to see, you need the visual perception part of the brain to turn it into a perception and gives it meaning- a big ship! . If we’re missing the second part , your eyes might sense something is on the horizon, but your brain cant process the input and therefore can’t perceive it - you are still blind! That is why none of us actually sees 100% reality in front of us because we are limited by only a range of light what our body can process. we are seeing more shadows, incomplete reality, a lot of information we cant process, things that perhaps an animal might see or sense. Also if you are not exposed to enough music as a child you will be tone deaf. You will not be able to hear a note and reproduce the exact note with your voice. It’s a developmental thing and if you don’t get the stimulation with music to develop that ability to detect a note and be able to reproduce it exactly with your voice you are tone deaf for the rest of your life really it’s very hard to learn.So think of that related to what these people have been concealing from us. If they are literally concealing entire concepts that we have never been suggested to us, as a good parent would NEVER do, how could we possibly see reality? I don’t think we can until we are allowed to have the imagination to see what possibly could be there; then we actually might see reality! But if we haven’t been given the imagination, the possibility, we can’t see something that we don’t know about or have never experienced. They need to tell us. PS. Did you ever go back on that show?
dachicagoan I was thinking Burning Man was roughly the modern equivalent? Those drugs were never legal and such laws never stopped anyone they only raise prices and cause crime.
They did one in the 90's for it's anniversary, stuff was going wrong and it ended in a riot. I doubt after that they will be reluctant in trying again.
Gracie was really sharp. She was the ultimate hippie chick to me back then. I could listen to White Rabbit over and over again but then you have to listen to it over and over again because it's so short.
Not you Susie? ;) I was near this disaster. Thank God I missed it on the Ohio Turnpike. Shitty day, up all night he said 'Paul' , shocks and sh*t from the crap festival folks and God's joke???? Woodstick? A mess. God bless them all.
A music festival of peace and love representing a generation yet beyond time and space the vibe of this massive concert still lives on in our heart and mind
Most people from our current era, do not understand the relevance of this near historical defining moment of the sixties. Many look upon the participants back then as though we were nothing but druggies, who held no social mores, but far from it. While tragic, only two people lost their lives, doing something they wanted, which was to listen to some of the most defining music of that decade and decades to come. While it is true some remain stuck in the sixties, don't we all get stuck in some period of our lives? This was THE Music to hear. Jefferson Airplane provided some of the best songs repeatedly played on radio stations for nearly an additional decade or more, and still has a following. It was iconic, and provided a zeitgeist for years to come, and shall never be forgotten!
Doc Bear you are so correct I am 30 now but I feel reincarnated never heard a day of this music turned it on to the radio bam there it is! this music is amazingly pure
Ich war damals zwar noch klein, aber Woodstock kenne ich schon. Die Musik war einfach super.....warum kann man so ein Festival nicht wieder aufleben lassen?! 🎵🎼🎶🎤🎸🎹🌹🍃🌷🍀🌻🌼🌾

My uncle went to woodstock and told me it was the best concert ever nobody fighting just alot of smoking and hugging nothing but peace love and harmony .
People died just like at 99 plus there were anti government agencies who poisoned the water
And it was also Charles Manson Summer of Love.
And a mess. The mess left by it was biblical.
My teenaged babysitter cleaned up after the mosh. She was a trippy hippy. ❤
PERFECTION
There's few things as satisfying as watching Grace Slick absolutely killing it live all while tripping her face off...
Bruh, I couldn’t imagine what the hell she saw the brief moments she had her eyes open.
Not to mention sleep deprived, they were originally supposed to go on the night prior so they stayed up all night doing uppers and downers 😂
LSD is truly a powerful drug man
O-yea they tripping balls!
Yeah, but a better story, in my opinion, was how Santana was told he had six hours before they went on stage so him and the guys in the band did some mescaline figuring they had time to trip then mellow out before showtime.

I thought "Morning maniac music" was what I was doing drinking my breakfast beer and blasting my tunes. I wish Grace was my neighbor.
I wasn't born until 1980...but man 1969 looked amazing!!!!! The music, clothing etc. looked totally GROOVY.
Right on.
and the moon landing
It was..... So happy to have been alive in 1969.....never to be duplicated.... ❤🙂✌🏻
Exactly, fellow Gen Exer! We had some damn good music in our day too, but I agree, the 60s were just special.
It was ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Can't get enough of that guitar intro. It's really enjoyable and her smile with that 'morning people!' makes me goosebump everytime!
The regular guys... And those hard notes with that kind of echo...

"Sweet, what instrument?"
"Tambourine"
"Nice"
That's Marty Balin you're talking about there, man. It was his band. Go watch a clip of them playing "Volunteers."
Marty Balin is not some guy who got to play tambourine with Jefferson Airplane. Ignorance is bliss though, right?

This is just so bad ass... dear lord...
I once asked my mother if she went to Woodstock? She laughed and replied No. I then asked her why not? Her answer: I guess I was too square. 😆
Great band. But Grace Slick made them unique. One of the great rock-n-roll ladies of all time.
and she was beautiful to boot
100% agree

It was a great set, better than some the night before. Grace Slick had great presence and passion and was unpredictable to an extent.
crying k d Lan
William Devlin OMG!!!!
Awesome! It's not often I wish I was older than I am. I would have loved to have seen and heard her in her prime. Drop dead gorgeous with a killer voice!
that's amazing😉😉😉 congratulations man!!!!😉😉
historical evidence
This has to be the GREATEST WAKE UP CALL OF ALL TIME!! THANK YOU GRACE!
This still gets to me like it was still 1969.....the music that was in my head when I shipped off to our lost war... glad I had somebody to love and she still does...Grace Slick was under-rated
Woodstock 1969...I would pay a salary to travel back in time to that exact date and place.
yes
In a heartbeat.
you are not the only one believe me. I think I will come as first first and go as last person at Woodstock.
I'll do it 5 times over for Monterey Pop 67
Yeah, it's a shame. Some of the greatest performances of all time took place there but everybody was so fucking high they didn't care. Look at the crowds, they're just standing there.
KUDOS to the EARLY FILMMAKERS. Without them NONE of this would have been properly preserved. The sound, for its time, is absolutely amazing.
So good it made me cry. We need to do somthing like Woodstock again !
+Richard Longmore
100% Agree
+Richard Longmore, it would be filled with violence dude, that was it. it is impossible to make such an event these days!!!
We gotta get the real talent back on the "mainstream" the present day music scene is a nightmare. And a HUGE insult to the pioneers that paved the way. Shame how we went from this to where we are now in just a little over 4 decades. That really isn't that long ago when your think about how fast a year goes by..It almost makes you want to cry..
+Richard Longmore With what? This kind of incredible music is long gone or not as well known as it once was.
+Richard Longmore Some thing that good only happens once in a million years. Peace and love and they were the days.
They woke up to this? - holy shit, man.... thats awesome.
I was there but never heard or recognized her raw talent til now!!!!!!!! SPECTACULAR!!!!!! God bless Grace Slick!!!!!!!!
I hadn't known she was so beautiful. Only heard her til now.
Man I had a serious crush on her back then. Hmm, guess I still do.
Steve rock
that are lsd eyes hehe
Great moments in the Woodstock ! I still will to take a travel in the time's machine to that magic moment !
Val L. mee too - pls! ✌🏼️
YES !
Val L. Not me, l love to watch and listen to this. l hate camping in mud and rain. They didn't get a great vantage point like us. l saw it in 1970 when it came out and we were all in the theaters stoned with as much to eat as we wanted and dry. Everybody was waisted watching it but the ones who were there were hungry and thirsty. The best part of being there that l saw was skinny dipping get in the lake with chicks.
I see.
What if...what if Woodstock was so overcrowded with people because it is a "must see" place in time for all the time travelers?
Damn grace slick had the most vocal range on acid and at 7 am Thats talent
agree considering they were backstage waiting to go on for like a day i thought Grace and the boys sounded amazing
"Morning maniac music." The earliest show they probably ever did.
Some legend called nick wrote that it was sunrise when they started their set
Grace was interviewed saying something like 6:00 am... when they had been scheduled for something like a 9:00 pm appearance the night before. They stayed up all night waiting.
Goodness knows how they managed to stay awake ......
Columbian coffee...
Pre-Columbian? Or perhaps you mean Colombian. And maybe not just coffee.
woodstock footage makes me jealous
I know!!
Me too
I still have the old tapes!From three days of Woodstock!!I must have recorded it when the original tapes were on tv!!It amazes me big time every time I see and hear it!I was born in 1961 and my memory does recall things….it was on tv back then!Or on the news or whatever!I must have been eight years old!I,m still posting Woodstock and every band that played there,if possible!I,m putting that on Facebook,on my timeline,for all my American and European friends,so they won,t forget!Thank you!!
Erica ter Haar you can buy it on Blu-ray or DVD for like $20 I think on amazon, it has all the bonus features. Definitely worth it if you're interested.
what a voice.. She doesn’t even sound different live.. 👏🏾
Crowd actually living the moment and fully enjoying the great musicians giving a hell of a show. No phones recording, no pictures or selfies being taken for IG or FB. Paying respect to the live experience and the artists. How it should be. Good times!
It's six in the morning after a 3 day festival. I love airplane, became a person that likes to jump out of airplanes because of them, but the crowd in this case is probably just very tired.
I love when y’all comment this dumb shit lmao. This was 1969. Instagram and Facebook weren’t even a thing nor were cell phones.
Ppl can enjoy and pay respect by recording on their phone also. I’m sure the artist don’t even care since they’re the ones being paid and would be receiving more exposure.
@@funnyrandomvids9037 Thanks - that's pretty much what I was trying to get at 🙂
They're all tired and high, it's not that deep bro
That's because they didn't have the ability to do those things. If everyone possessed a handheld recording device at this time, you know they'd all be doing it.
she's totally amazing ...her voice is hot....what a woman she is.....love this song ....!
+Jasmine Raghubir zakly
Grace Slick, a real Rock Icon. A woman.
Great song and act. Grace gives it pure energy. Must have been amazing to have been at Woodstock!
I'd give my heart and soul to be there in 1969.
we just need a Delorean
I was there, i was seven years old. I remember the mud, the terrible food, and the pungent smoke that made me very sleepy and hungry. Most of the people seemed happy and kindly and i mostly have good memories of that time.
I was 15 and my folks wouldn't let me come along with my sister (who was 19). She went for the music, and came home with memories about the smell from the outhouse.
Then u find urself dead recruited to vietnam.hhhhh
Insert your soul
One of the first "bad girls" of rock and roll.
Had forgotten how hot she was.
Our generation. Our music. I don't think it can be repeated.
It never will.
Well no, of course it cant!
Mumble rap has it beat
I was about 50 feet from the stage when they opened their set with this song at the crack of dawn - waking lots of hippies in their sleeping bags ... Like their "Surrealistic Pillow" album (that Jerry Garcia worked on) it was both surreal and psychedelic ...
Never forget Woodstock, one of a kind along with Gracie & others, I missed the Woodstock concert because I was in Vietnam, the music of the day among other things kept us going, never forget the event
Bruce Tomlin thank you for your service
Welcome home Soldier 💚
My uncle too !
Never forget your inhumanity.
I'm from a different country. But I'm glad the music of the day helped so much. I hate when people go on tourist trips of Vietnam, or find other ways of trivialising it. It wasn't my country's war, but I respect you for fighting in it. And I'm glad if music brought some humanity.
I really miss the 60’s and 70’s we had a great ride !
My Mom told me about the 60s...She was at that festival
Proud: Jorma Kaukonen my cousin in guitar with Finnish roots.
Rhythm section like a freight train...love these guys always.....
+Mark Lines yeah people don't appreciate what was going on in there, the smoothness.
+Mark Lines Jack Casady is an unsung monster
8-8-84 -a splendid trip caspar reckers
They went through a lot of drummers, but Jack and Jorma. . .what a helluva duo. It was Jorma's guitar that got me properly into this band, beyond the famous two or three songs. And Jack (along with Phil Lesh) that made me truly appreciate the bass.
No cell phones, no flags... clean crowd...clear emotions.... It would be nice to see same things in our present gigs and festivals...
Clear emotions? What does that even mean?
Clean crowd? At Woodstock? How high were you when you posted this??
Clean my ass! You’re just lying now! 🙄
Go to an EDM festival to see what this exact crowd would be doing and listening to in 2022.
Limp bizkit break stuff woodstock 99 all day everyday...fuck woodstock 69!!!
This song has the ability to stop you in your tracks, and yet energize at the same time, an absolute marvel
Today January 28 2016 we just lost founding member of the Jefferson Airplane Paul Kantner who died of multiple organ failure he was 74 RIP Paul 1941-2016.
+Gary VanDecar What a pity! To never again, Paul, thank you for the beatiful musical emotions you gave us.
+Gary VanDecar
Now he's trying to catch the White Rabbit! At Least!
+ RIP Paul Kantner thanks fo the music !!! forever RNR
alessandro monti That he is and that white rabbit is fast.
+Gary VanDecar Another death...is this an end of an era? Paul definitely made his mark.
I´ve been to lots of concerts and festivals - never have I heard an opener with such a power and energy.
RIP Paul Kantner. A guitarist who could bring a padlock to tears!
+Pete Glastonbury sad, but it was a group of drug addicts and obscurantist
+Welt Rogg ...And maybe in the biggest picture... so fucking what? Maybe as such they brought much more positiveness to this world than many who would degrade them; like you?
Maybe.
The day that music changed the world.
I was 19 in1969 ( born at the right time for brilliant music ) . Still rocking 50 years later music keeps you young !!!!!
dennis mault I was only two 😊
I was born 6 years later (GENERATION X)
We overshot the sweet spot. This was it. We should have landed societally right here, and stayed.
festyxfi I agree. What a shame.
festyxfi just needed a little more time. just keep up the faith. it is still in our hearts.
festyxfi sounds almost like the late great Hunter S. Thompson there buddy.
"Our energy would simply prevail. There was no
point in fighting-on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we
were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. . . .So now, less than five years later, you can go
up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind
of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark-that place where the wave
finally broke and rolled back"
***** Yes, the wake up call!
festyxfi couldn't agree more, now its a decayed wasteland..the best is long gone
Out of their minds on all sorts of chemicals, in front of a zillion people at 6am and she still comes in bang and in tune. Go Grace!
500,000 people. Just looks like a zillion.
Music does not die. It is eternal.
I feel embarrassed in this current generation..... I am a millennial
@@walterpanameno3214 There are good musicians on RUclips. They are of generations y and z. They will let Hollywood come no closer than a kilometer toward them.
IT'S ETERNAL, GRACE SLICK,MARTY BALIN AND COMPANY
That voice WOW I wish i could travel back in time and see the entire Woodstock live like omg what an amazing experience it must have been
In almost 50 years, how much has actually changed? I wish it was more. Your voice is still wonderful, Grace.
A great moment in the music archive!!! Grace Slick is ❤somebody to love!!!
One of greatest rock n roll performance of all time! 💯🤘🏾
Lucky to have been there seen that . Hard to believe
Envy you sir, so much. That times had to be amazing
+Marek Václavík ,yes I agree those times seemed much more peaceful, hopeful and carefree.
Hard times for civilization right now
I would have loved to have experienced this.
One of the greatest acts at Woodstock playing early in the morning!
Marty said they were so stoned, He doesn't even remember what they played ! LOL !
Wow! lol...that's messed up! How did they even play instruments and remembered the lyrics of the songs?
Right, no wonder I thought they looked so stoned
Stormeyworld Muscle memory, I’d imagine.
1:40 just look at him xD
LMAO !!!!
Perhaps the greatest achievement of the band was actually getting up and making it onto the stage that morning all at the same time given their combined pharmaceutical intake the day/night before. Then managing to actually play/sing the same song and delivering an absolutely epic sound is something of a miracle. 😆
Yeah, that about sums it up. 😂
Grace. You rocked it like no one else has ever rocked it before!! Thank you for the spirit of your soul. Blessed Be ! X
She is, she was and she will be always a Godess!!.She is a Scorpio!! Sex appeal, beautiful woman and a excellent artists!
Great vocals beautiful interpretation. I like the sound of bass.
Maaaaaan, just imagine tripping like that, making history. If only I could've lived it. Incredible.
I would so go back in time to Woodstock. We will never see so much peace and love again. Best music ever made.
peace and love? civil rights, vietnam war...give me a break...what do you think all the drugs were for?
Essa música é hipnótica. Voz incrível da Grace. Fantástica.
de mAIS
grace slick, what a voice, what a song, Back to Woodstock when life was much easier.....
Played my high school in 67 , Grace and Marty, Skip, Jorma, etc. all rocked my world.
She had such an amazing voice , love it.
Was born in 80. Very blessed to have parents who introduced me to this music
2017 - and Grace Slick remains the Hippy Goddess.
2020, she took me along as I soared higher than ever before. Transgenerational transcendentalist
3 Goddesses of Woodstock: Grace (Spirit), Janis (Body/Emotions), Joni (Mind). Joni, an unparalleled musician and lyricist, penned the song to memorialize THE event of the Psychadelic 60s. Martin, Joni was saying this in 1967-
what we all know, and forgot, what we all yearn for, but cannot:
“Woodstock”
I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, "Where are you going?"
And this he told me
"I'm going on down to Yasgur's farm
I'm gonna join in a rock 'n' roll band
I'm gonna camp out on the land
I'm gonna try an' get my soul free"
We are stardust
We are golden
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
"Then can I walk beside you?
I have come here to lose the smog
And I feel to be a cog in something turning"
"Well, maybe it is just the time of year
Or maybe it's the time of man
I don't know who l am
But you know, life is for learning"
We are stardust
We are golden
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere there was song and celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bombers
Riding shotgun in the sky
And they were turning into butterflies
Above our nation
We are stardust
Billion year old carbon
We are golden
Caught in the devil's bargain
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
I love this performance at Woodstock. Check out their song “White Rabbit.” By JeffAir. Psychedelic but dark. Alice goes down the rabbit hole. Martin: I was looking through your archives and I watched the show where you were invited onto that radio program in Boston and I was really fearing that they were just setting you up to be humiliated, and you came on in the best attitude just very positive and you won them over! you didn’t come in thinking that they were going to be your enemy, and therefore you didn’t create an enemy!before you got on, they were just tearing you apart , “he’s totally crazy and who is this guy,” and I just thought “wow these guys are going to really set him up,” but just the way open way you approached them, nondefensive, you disarmed them! You helped them drop their cynicism; it was really great to see that. You answered very honestly, and acknowledged your own disbelief, and not knowing everything, but clearly you were telling them things that you knew to be true, and it jogged something in their brains because some of them admitted that they also have some big questions about what we’re presented as reality.
And of course when from the first day of your life you are told that you live on a globe, It’s almost impossible to see the world any other way. They say that when the big Spanish Galleons came to the New World and were first on the horizon the Natives people could not see the boats because they had no concept of boats that big so they simply couldn’t see them! isn’t that in incredible?! We can’t perceive things when we have no concept of it; no notion that it could even be a possibility- we can’t perceive it right in front of us! People that Have been blind from birth, even if they can surgically make their eyes able to see, oftentimes the person still cannot make out the world because that part of the brain that takes the sensory inputs, processes and perceives visually was never developed. you need not just your eyes to see, you need the visual perception part of the brain to turn it into a perception and gives it meaning- a big ship! . If we’re missing the second part , your eyes might sense something is on the horizon, but your brain cant process the input and therefore can’t perceive it - you are still blind! That is why none of us actually sees 100% reality in front of us because we are limited by only a range of light what our body can process. we are seeing more shadows, incomplete reality, a lot of information we cant process, things that perhaps an animal might see or sense. Also if you are not exposed to enough music as a child you will be tone deaf. You will not be able to hear a note and reproduce the exact note with your voice. It’s a developmental thing and if you don’t get the stimulation with music to develop that ability to detect a note and be able to reproduce it exactly with your voice you are tone deaf for the rest of your life really it’s very hard to learn.So think of that related to what these people have been concealing from us. If they are literally concealing entire concepts that we have never been suggested to us, as a good parent would NEVER do, how could we possibly see reality? I don’t think we can until we are allowed to have the imagination to see what possibly could be there; then we actually might see reality! But if we haven’t been given the imagination, the possibility, we can’t see something that we don’t know about or have never experienced. They need to tell us.
PS. Did you ever go back on that show?
Oh, I want to wake up everyday with this song...
I am doing it! :) A day without Grace Slick at Woodstock is boring.
Loved her at 15- (post Woodstock) still love that beautiful sweet singing siren to men's souls, over four decades later.
We NEED a 'Woodstock" every year. But never again this much passionate energy available???
you are absolutely right. The world would be a better place.....
Bo McGillacutty waynestock would be great, waynesworld 2
dachicagoan I was thinking Burning Man was roughly the modern equivalent? Those drugs were never legal and such laws never stopped anyone they only raise prices and cause crime.
They did one in the 90's for it's anniversary, stuff was going wrong and it ended in a riot. I doubt after that they will be reluctant in trying again.
it would be a hideous corporate-fest now completely lacking in spontanaity.
Gracie was really sharp. She was the ultimate hippie chick to me back then. I could listen to White Rabbit over and over again but then you have to listen to it over and over again because it's so short.
RIP Paul Kantner. We are losing so many great rock and roll people.
And that soooo fast,so many died this year and this 2016 in not even over one and a half month old....RIP and REST IN POWER Paul Kantner.....
+Daniela Schwarz - LOL bet Paul and most of them didn't think they'd live that long!
+Amhlair Okay,that is true but the most in 2016 and now we lost so different Stars again!
Not you Susie? ;) I was near this disaster. Thank God I missed it on the Ohio Turnpike. Shitty day, up all night he said 'Paul' , shocks and sh*t from the crap festival folks and God's joke???? Woodstick? A mess. God bless them all.
***** I hope it...they are dying,maybe they live in a better way and make great music.
How can anyone not love her?
A music festival of peace and love representing a generation yet beyond time and space the vibe of this massive concert still lives on in our heart and mind
Most people from our current era, do not understand the relevance of this near historical defining moment of the sixties. Many look upon the participants back then as though we were nothing but druggies, who held no social mores, but far from it. While tragic, only two people lost their lives, doing something they wanted, which was to listen to some of the most defining music of that decade and decades to come. While it is true some remain stuck in the sixties, don't we all get stuck in some period of our lives? This was THE Music to hear. Jefferson Airplane provided some of the best songs repeatedly played on radio stations for nearly an additional decade or more, and still has a following. It was iconic, and provided a zeitgeist for years to come, and shall never be forgotten!
Doc Bear you are so correct I am 30 now but I feel reincarnated never heard a day of this music turned it on to the radio bam there it is!
this music is amazingly pure
Ich war damals zwar noch klein, aber Woodstock kenne ich schon. Die Musik war einfach super.....warum kann man so ein Festival nicht wieder aufleben lassen?! 🎵🎼🎶🎤🎸🎹🌹🍃🌷🍀🌻🌼🌾
R.I.P PAUL
Du bist Einfach Wunderbar
Thank you Grace, you are GREAT!!!!!!
I was there. we had a spot about 75 feet from the stage.
Lucky SOB mate.
LEXE71 Lucky bastard
I was there; we had a spot 50 feet from the stage.
...Stayed there for three days, too.....
...in the rain...with no raincoats or galoshes....or food....
Wow that was incredible.
One of the best live performances in the history of rock,
i am 36 and i love all this music i wish i could have been around then
I was around then but just think if you were around then you would be as old as me - 63. Enjoy your 30s, each decade goes faster and faster.
thanks
...and you wouldn't be so sure to be still alive.... ;)
So NJcruiser is a really lucky man :)
Miriam Galvani some of us are still here lol 65 this month
where did you discover this song plz? a movie?
I missed this age. All I can say is wow. Grace Slick is a rock Goddess. RIP Marty Balin. 🙏💕
Her voice is just stunning.
Goosebumps with this performance. Love it
She will always be the goddess! 🎉❤
