One of the best songs of all time. Never get tired of this and of course Grace Slick such a entertainer, love the Woodstock 1969 her on stage just cannot beat that.
I was at a Christmas party in 1970 and this song was on the stereo. When it was over everyone wanted to hear it again. We must've played it 10 times in a row. I think of that night, some of the people are gone now, but it was a great party that night.
I was in hospital for a few weeks December 2020. I asked one of the nurses who was distributing my meds "Does this pill make me larger or small?" and she told me it's like the one that mother gives you.
I will never grow tired of listening to this song, I am a young 56 years old but grew up listening to music from the 60's and I remember most of the songs I liked as a pre-teen and teenager in the 70's, I was very lucky compared to the music my daughter had to listen to when she was young
this song will never be out of fashion.. the score.. Grace's vocals.. the lyrics.. its timeless.. and one of the greatest 60's "psychedelic" songs ever made..
I have my mother's autographed copy of Surrealistic Pillow. I got to meet Grace and the band at Beloit College when I was 9 yrs old. I'm 63 - it still ranks up there as one of the coolest experiences ever.
Today I came across this video, got high and relaxed in my easy chair. It brought back so many found memories. Thank you for making this old man happy again.
I've loved this song since I first heard it in the 70"s. I was years away from my own drug addiction, but even now, free of drugs, by God's Grace, I will Always Love this Song!
For good or for bad, was an integral part of the experience. Don't regret it. Can't shut the door on it. And grateful that it's not necessary to do either.
@@miakodemelo I'm for anything that helps people overcome addiction, be it psychology, medicine, yoga or voodoo. But nothing/nobody can help addicts who don't want to be helped. Millions of people have indeed received God's grace in the form of recovery from addiction. Seems to me that God's grace happens for people who want it and are willing to take the action needed to receive it. Maybe some addicts simply want to get high or drunk more than they want to be helped. Freedom of choice comes with consequences, and that's not God's fault.
@@Hellwyck obviously her voice here is not opera ready, but is very good.with training, she could have been a decent opera singer... but then, we may never have got this ;) so it doesn't really matter.
I am now an old man at 68 so this song was released during my youth. I've listened to this tune while on many mind altering substances. I am finally drug free but this song with the amazing Grace Slick singing transports me back to my crazy youth. I don't regret the times spent broadening my mind but I do not advise others to do the same. Times have surely changed. Love the video man. Peace everyone.
Broadening the mind is a double edged broadsword, imo. I am glad I did and I sometimes miss the growth from it, but it's certainly no way to fix anything. It just gives access to some tools is all. A person has got to pick the tools up and use them in a constructive manner for them to be anything more than inanimate.
As this song gets higher and higher ..so does your trip get spacey and more spacey ..you just feel it Rush through your whole body..Boy did I love to eat shrooms🍄🍄
This one of the most peculiar popular songs of all time. No chorus and the whole time the tension builds and builds until the very end when it resolves with the last note.
@@gregoryhagen8801 yes I saw it as well back in the day. Any movie that shows the dangers of doing drugs should never be controversial. If it stops even one person going down that destructive path then it is worth it.
omg.....I was there during this taping. my dearest friend was a wardrobe mistress for the show. so I just went into the audience section waiting for her to finish work. all I really remember is that Grace told the makeup artist to apply darker makeup so she would look indian........wow, I had forgotten all about that!!
I was 14 yrs. old ,and to hear something that would transform my life at such a young age,was and has always been the greatest experience of my life! I’m 70 now and still start my mornings with their music! I wish all a wonderful LIFE
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day.. Stay Safe
I'm turning 77 coming January and I heard it the day it was released and it's in my GENES forever ... together with lots of other great songs from my youth.
I was born in 1971 and used to listen to this song on the oldies station. Such an epic song and is in my honest opinion one of the best songs of all time!!!
In my humble opinion, this is the quintessential Jefferson Airplane song. The music is spellbinding and builds along with Grace Slick's powerful vocal to a climactic ending leaving the listener almost breathless!
I'm 40yrs old, I grew up on this type of rock, this is the birth of everything we know today, music wise. Mom would approve, RIP Ma, we will never forget, you are forever a stone for so many. Never will I forget, love you Mom.
Just a classic song. Wife is a big Alice in Wonderland fan so took her to the Curiouser & Curiouser exhibition in the Victoria & Albert museum in London on Thursday. In one of the rooms they had this playing in the background, hairs on the back of my neck stood up. Inspired from something that was wrote 156 years ago
Interesting...I was just saying that Grace Slick(and her band) were one of the most over rated ''artists'' of all time! Isn't that were we got the expression ''one hit wonders''?
One of the top vocals of all time, No Pro Tools no Auto Tune, before the digital tech-pure talent-Today's singers couldn't hold a candle to this. Talyor Swift , Beyonce, Katy Perry-none of them have the vocal talent compared Grace Slick.
This is the perfect song. Music, lyrics and singing all fit together perfectly. One of those songs that you never get tired of hearing. The perfect song
I wish my wife were here to see and listen to this. We grew up to it, and she longed for it in her last days. There are so many from our youth that bring her back to life for me. A very fine put together video, thanks for taking me back!
@@bonnie3447 wow you’re sick. You just cursed someone you love by saying that. Karma is real and will make you pay for that unless you apologize to this lovely vulnerable man for it.
This song resonates in any Era. The music truly married the lyrics and brought people back to a time ⏲ and place that was instrumental to the rise of a genre of music as well as many important historical events. The cadence of the start of the song set the tone and the vocals of the amazing Grace carried it. I agree that Jefferson Airplane ✈ took us to higher heights with this j (song).
I'm 68. Going back to 1970; I was 17, in love with this song and with Grace Slick. June of that year my brother and I went to the Bath Festival to hear Airplane live for the first time (and take mescalin for the first time!) Sure enough, the Airplane eventually came out on stage and got into their set. After about an hour in it started to rain, Paul Kantner got an electric shock from his mic and they duly headed off stage. Without playing this song. Interestingly enough, and possibly because of the mescalin, I was convinced for years that I heard them play it ....
@@markcollins2666 One of the things that has become a comfort to me in my declining years is that coronavirus is apparently killing younger adults also. No need for you to go to ICU if you get it though - you're already brain dead. I imagine you need to read the instruction sheet that tells you what to do next after you've breathed in.
@@markcollins2666 OK Kid I’m sorry you never got to party or have fun and how’s that working out for you! Just wait until your turn comes and you have zero memories or good times? I’m sorry you beta’s are a Incel but the kids sure nailed that one!
Certain people of this era all the artist who understood what was happening and gave us the music to get through our lives. We will never have a generation like this again, I miss all of the great artists of those times.
This is a bad ass song. The intro guitar is outstanding the way the sound of the notes pull you into an amazing drama of a song sung masterfully that just builds into sensual and captivating crescendos, and then ends --- leaving you wanting more!
I'd like to dedicate this beautiful gem to a very dear friend of mine that passed away this year. He introduced me to this specific classic. Vietnam veteran, musician and friend. We had 6 good years of laughter and in-depth conversations. He was truly an awesome guy, white rabbit with no rhythm but a whole lot of soul! Rest in peace Terry Lee (Gumbo) Moccabee. I miss you, Man; and love you, Brother. Job well done, Sir.🍻😔✌🏽💜🇺🇲🕊️
This group made a huge change in direction and musical style in the 80s. Changed their name to Jefferson Starship and started singing a lot of anthemy songs. Their days of experimental music like this were long past.
Grace Slick's voice was a magical gift. I was a voice major at the University of Oregon in 1978. We studied her Middle Eastern European vocal arts. She was brilliant.
I'm a 73 year old Brit and remember all the great Music that came out of the San Fransisco in that period. Grace Slick and Jefferson airplane. just listened to Buffalo Springfield 'For What its Worth' and the Byrds 'Eight Miles High'...... I'm on a nostalgia trip...
I was very young when this song hit the scene but a friend's sister used to sing this song in her band. LOVE IT so much, brings back so many memories for me. This is gold!
Back then all there was, was kids and years later just parties with booze and party songs like this one. I just relate this song to all the drunken parties. Remember there wasn't a while lot to do back then.
Hallucinagens are not an intelligent substance to even experiment with. You do realize when you are old (if you do not overdose first), that you will be subject to bouts of amnesia and other mental illnesses, as a result of altering your neural pathways when you were of a younger age?
@Philanthropy & Listen, don't try to justify doing hallucinagens under the guise of 'it will not alter my neural pathways and abilities now or later in life'. Studies are even showing marijuana as having negative effects of psychological processes at elder ages. Uh, but HELLO, what kind of IDIOT in their right mind, regardless of the chemical (caffeine or LSD), would not suspect any alterations in their neural network? Uh, HELLO. Common sense.
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. Feed your head"
I understand you. I am 40 and grew up with parents who loved this kind of music. So this music is basically my childhood. 60s is to me what the 80s are for young people these days.
@@patrickdougherty1641 someone looked on the wayback machine, this video used to have a different description and more videos, they possibly bought it. Today's video zip code to Corbin, Kentucky I believe and there was a Google review by White Rabbit records an actual record company with zip code to Windham as a Google review.
"White Rabbit" shares a lot with "The End" by the Doors - and vice versa. They were both released in 1967 and have a very similar tempo and mood to them. America was at a crossroads with Vietnam, the counter culture and drugs - and both of these songs brilliantly explore the "what's next" of a generation searching for meaning in an uncertain world.
Cool but white rabbit is more of a altered state of the mindset apparently due to mental illness issues. Probably brought on by the buffet of narcotics lol..
This song used to send cold shivers down my back in the days -- and it still does. Grace Slick's rendition is unrivalled, although Elephant Revival did pretty well at coming close.
Seems like yesterday when we felt invincible against all the odds of the World. Now that time is quickly passing, we no longer feel invincible but soon to be a faded memory.
Your generation will not be a faded memory my friend, my parents are of your generation (in their 70s now) but their values live on in their children and my children. The 1960's counterculture elevated the conscience and soul of this country and the world more than any other era in modern history. We've had many wasted decades since then, but your generation was not a waste by any means
I have loved this song for over 50 years. I love it more and more even as I grow old. It truly is a timeless masterpiece. Bless you Grace as we grow old. I'm sure happy to have lived in your era.
@@guidedandblessed AGREE. I am so happy my kiddo is starting to appreciate older bands. She loves Fleetwood Mac. And to my shock, the other day she connects her phone yo the car stereo and blasts Everlong! Ahh yes, a very proud Mom moment!
@@Jr-hv2yn The era of road hockey at least in Canada where I live way back in the 60's. Looks like the last days of true freedom are gone forever and the world is going to turn 100 percent communist going forward in time even in America.
Every time the world stops making sense I listen to this song by this marvelous singer. Then everything seems OK. I remember hearing this when it was new.
This song is incredible, Heard a few cover version of this, but no one can compete with the sound of the Band or Grace's mesmerizing and Hypnotic voice. So glad i got to meet Paul, Marty and Jack while they played at Shepherds Bush in London 1996
One of the best songs of all time. Never get tired of this and of course Grace Slick such a entertainer, love the Woodstock 1969 her on stage just cannot beat that.
She has the voice of an Angel.

Actually it probably is the single most influential psychedelic song of the 60's and of course it was Gracies great voice that sold it.

I believe there is music in the afterlife
I am you're wife. I faked my death but I'm ready to come back now. I just need you're bank numbers and passwords. Cheers.
Take care brother.
@@bonnie3447 wow you’re sick. You just cursed someone you love by saying that. Karma is real and will make you pay for that unless you apologize to this lovely vulnerable man for it.
@@michaeldorsey1394 you're brother has destroyed twitter.
I'm 50years old so glad I was raised up listening to music like this.
Thank you for the likes
Still the best version. Grace had the best female voice and the prettiest rocker of her day.
And the one closest to looking like a pumpkin.
her voice is SO powerful...WOW!
I'm 81 and I've loved this song from the first time it came out. One of the greatest of all rock songs. Never get tired of it.
This song resonates in any Era. The music truly married the lyrics and brought people back to a time ⏲ and place that was instrumental to the rise of a genre of music as well as many important historical events. The cadence of the start of the song set the tone and the vocals of the amazing Grace carried it. I agree that Jefferson Airplane ✈ took us to higher heights with this j (song).
Amazing song , Amazing review, 36 year old blk guy here this reads as 60s to me. I wish I could see it
Song went well w/shrooms
So did the drug's.
Saw them live at a free concert in Toronto in 1967. Unforgettable.
You're right I forgot!
I'm 67 years old. This NEVER get old.
I'm 68. Going back to 1970; I was 17, in love with this song and with Grace Slick. June of that year my brother and I went to the Bath Festival to hear Airplane live for the first time (and take mescalin for the first time!) Sure enough, the Airplane eventually came out on stage and got into their set. After about an hour in it started to rain, Paul Kantner got an electric shock from his mic and they duly headed off stage. Without playing this song. Interestingly enough, and possibly because of the mescalin, I was convinced for years that I heard them play it ....
@@braintransplantdonor I'm only 54 and was a kid hanging out then but still trip to it!
Face it, it's old. And very stupid, even in its time. How did you live to be so old, and stupid?!? Grow up!!!
@@markcollins2666 One of the things that has become a comfort to me in my declining years is that coronavirus is apparently killing younger adults also. No need for you to go to ICU if you get it though - you're already brain dead. I imagine you need to read the instruction sheet that tells you what to do next after you've breathed in.
@@markcollins2666 OK Kid I’m sorry you never got to party or have fun and how’s that working out for you! Just wait until your turn comes and you have zero memories or good times? I’m sorry you beta’s are a Incel but the kids sure nailed that one!
Certain people of this era all the artist who understood what was happening and gave us the music to get through our lives. We will never have a generation like this again, I miss all of the great artists of those times.
This is a bad ass song. The intro guitar is outstanding the way the sound of the notes pull you into an amazing drama of a song sung masterfully that just builds into sensual and captivating crescendos, and then ends --- leaving you wanting more!
A Great description..🎶😎👏👏
Yes, you want Grace to keep on singing…..her vocals are magnificent.
The intro reminds me of entering a Spanish bull ring.
i honestly don’t even care what it’s abow but damn it’s unreal
Yes! Love this song
I'd like to dedicate this beautiful gem to a very dear friend of mine that passed away this year. He introduced me to this specific classic. Vietnam veteran, musician and friend. We had 6 good years of laughter and in-depth conversations. He was truly an awesome guy, white rabbit with no rhythm but a whole lot of soul! Rest in peace Terry Lee (Gumbo) Moccabee. I miss you, Man; and love you, Brother. Job well done, Sir.🍻😔✌🏽💜🇺🇲🕊️
Bless you pal & much respect. May your friend R.I.P.
@@matthewtrigg7432 Thank you, Brother. You're so thoughtful.🍻✌🏽
White, but awesome? Wait...what?????
@@1965mlayers1965 It's something that he'd always joke about.😂
I saw this comment and I understand. I lost my dad yesterday who introduced me to all things amazing. ❤️ Bless💔 ❤️
I have to say Grace Slick is the most rememberable female voices.
Grace Slick was at her own time, and nothing had to be changed she had to be there….loved it
She basically wrote the greatest psychedelic song of the 60's.
You betcha she did
Amen to that!
Totally agree!
She was on LSD while writing the chords and lyrics for the song so ;)
Niceeeeeee
This group made a huge change in direction and musical style in the 80s. Changed their name to Jefferson Starship and started singing a lot of anthemy songs. Their days of experimental music like this were long past.
We built this city on a lot of acid
Check out the scene in "The Simpsons" where Homer is trying to explain this!
Still one of the greatest songs ever in history.
100% agreed
Could'nt agree more, bro...
Timeless, powerful, haunting, moving. Too short but just long enough. An enigma of a musical experience.
Some things are timeless
Impossible without Jorma and Jack
I used to think this song was too short. Nah, it's perfect.
Grace Slick's voice was a magical gift. I was a voice major at the University of Oregon in 1978. We studied her Middle Eastern European vocal arts. She was brilliant.
Middle Eastern European?……whaaat?
2:13
Great song though 👍
I'm a 73 year old Brit and remember all the great Music that came out of the San Fransisco in that period. Grace Slick and Jefferson airplane. just listened to Buffalo Springfield 'For What its Worth' and the Byrds 'Eight Miles High'...... I'm on a nostalgia trip...
Me to. To these days . At 62 yo I remember all this music of the day . Is it me or was this time really better than today .
stay safe don't let the little savages get you
I was very young when this song hit the scene but a friend's sister used to sing this song in her band. LOVE IT so much, brings back so many memories for me. This is gold!
The mid to late 1960s and early just about all the 1970s music was and still is the greatest rock!!!!!!
I don't know why after all these years I still get chills when I hear this..and I'm not high any more.
😂Exactly what I thought. Real…..
Are you sure???
Memories! That is the only thing that no one can take away from you!
@@kevincaruthers5412 yeah I had to give it up because I had the attitude that if one good 10 must be better 🤪 damn
Back then all there was, was kids and years later just parties with booze and party songs like this one. I just relate this song to all the drunken parties. Remember there wasn't a while lot to do back then.
Jefferson Airplane , the epitome of the 60’s psychedelic music , and Grace , the voice.
Listening to this during an acid trip has got to be one of my most memorable memories ever.
X2
Gonna get some mushrooms and do just that.
Hallucinagens are not an intelligent substance to even experiment with. You do realize when you are old (if you do not overdose first), that you will be subject to bouts of amnesia and other mental illnesses, as a result of altering your neural pathways when you were of a younger age?
@Philanthropy & Listen, don't try to justify doing hallucinagens under the guise of 'it will not alter my neural pathways and abilities now or later in life'.
Studies are even showing marijuana as having negative effects of psychological processes at elder ages. Uh, but HELLO, what kind of IDIOT in their right mind, regardless of the chemical (caffeine or LSD), would not suspect any alterations in their neural network?
Uh, HELLO. Common sense.
@@zebulonsatrap8020 open you're mind man. Unfurl your freak flag and fly it high. Feed your head...it's obviously hungry
The drumming on this song is what always hits a soft spot with me.
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. Feed your head"
Thanks mate!
Thanks my friend.
Brother.. A BIG THANK YOU FROM BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.
Thank you!
Muchas gracias, amigo. 👍
I may only be 43 but I grew up with parents from this generation. I wish music was like this again
I am 67 i grew op with it, and now i listening to Nightwish a happy journey.
If you know where to look you can find some pretty kickass stuff; it will never be on the radio anymore, sadly
Mabel Wilken: I wish I was 43 again! You obviously know the difference between today's music versus the Old Classics.
I understand you. I am 40 and grew up with parents who loved this kind of music. So this music is basically my childhood. 60s is to me what the 80s are for young people these days.
I may only be 13, but I love this music!
He’s got the whole world in his hands🐇
I want to know how WWE got access to this RUclips channel 😂 or if this has been 15 years in the work
@@patrickdougherty1641 someone looked on the wayback machine, this video used to have a different description and more videos, they possibly bought it. Today's video zip code to Corbin, Kentucky I believe and there was a Google review by White Rabbit records an actual record company with zip code to Windham as a Google review.
Long term storytelling 🐰😂
This is the maddest thing ive seen in wrestling for the last 30 years. Absolute genius stuff by wwe with this one. Its a cold tune as well
This can make me go from wat hing reviews to watching the actual show. Great work!
This is up there with the greatest songs of all time.
"White Rabbit" shares a lot with "The End" by the Doors - and vice versa. They were both released in 1967 and have a very similar tempo and mood to them. America was at a crossroads with Vietnam, the counter culture and drugs - and both of these songs brilliantly explore the "what's next" of a generation searching for meaning in an uncertain world.
I wish White Rabbit was the same length as The End!
@@RamonIce88 could you imagine.... Damn i remember i used to space out to this song
Cool but white rabbit is more of a altered state of the mindset apparently due to mental illness issues. Probably brought on by the buffet of narcotics lol..
@@vanessagarcia5149 mine was

@@josephinegonzales-rosas8653 oooh that's another good one!!!
YIKES! 2024 and it still blows me away. Grace Slick.
A great singer and a STUNNINGLY beautiful woman.
well back then but now I’m not so sure but your right about that stuff
@@jakecampbell6756 - Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now.
This song used to send cold shivers down my back in the days -- and it still does. Grace Slick's rendition is unrivalled, although Elephant Revival did pretty well at coming close.
Agreed!
One of the finest songs ever recorded. Great talent and emotion, its amazing.
Seems like yesterday when we felt invincible against all the odds of the World. Now that time is quickly passing, we no longer feel invincible but soon to be a faded memory.
Well, Baby Boomers have certainly left their mark on the world (for better and worse). You won't soon be forgotten.
Sounds a bit like last friday night
Your generation will not be a faded memory my friend, my parents are of your generation (in their 70s now) but their values live on in their children and my children. The 1960's counterculture elevated the conscience and soul of this country and the world more than any other era in modern history. We've had many wasted decades since then, but your generation was not a waste by any means
Us younger generations are still fighting, not like the ridiculous kind of crap, but we're still carrying the torch. At least us rational ones are.
Baby boomers are dupes.
The 1960s was a huge psy op.
You never figured it out.
I have loved this song for over 50 years. I love it more and more even as I grow old. It truly is a timeless masterpiece. Bless you Grace as we grow old. I'm sure happy to have lived in your era.
Alright. 34 year old here mate, first listened to this when I was 16 and we did ketamine and acid.
2024 and a Gen Xer here, still enjoying older music. Do not fret, my Gen z kiddo is liking a lot of the older music. It will live on
@@guidedandblessed AGREE. I am so happy my kiddo is starting to appreciate older bands. She loves Fleetwood Mac. And to my shock, the other day she connects her phone yo the car stereo and blasts Everlong! Ahh yes, a very proud Mom moment!
Great music transcends generations ....long live rock-n-roll.
The 70 music was the best ever 🤯😄
She has the most incredible voice ever...Grace Slick!!!
This to me is absolute perfection in a song. The only other two as perfect are “Stairway to Heaven “ and “Hallelujah “
I have to agree. Awezome perfect songs for generations. Theyll be playing this song in 3525 and beyond.
Absolutely a classic. Brings back memories and flashbacks. What a time to be alive.
I'm 41 wish I lived in that era ..
@@Jr-hv2yn Great decade, the 1960's. Everything it seemed happened in the '60's, and not just music.
The best of times.
@@Jr-hv2yn The era of road hockey at least in Canada where I live way back in the 60's. Looks like the last days of true freedom are gone forever and the world is going to turn 100 percent communist going forward in time even in America.
Every time the world stops making sense I listen to this song by this marvelous singer. Then everything seems OK.
I remember hearing this when it was new.
This song is incredible, Heard a few cover version of this, but no one can compete with the sound of the Band or Grace's mesmerizing and Hypnotic voice. So glad i got to meet Paul, Marty and Jack while they played at Shepherds Bush in London 1996
Pink does an exceptional cover in my opinion 👍
@@j4ffski Just listened to it, its a pretty good version. bit more heavy, but good. fair credit to her. Thanks for the recommendation.
