Pink is one of the few modern artists that I can be bothered with and this is a great cover, but as gifted as she is as a singer, it's also a reminder of the majesty of Grace Slick's original vocal.
A Jo. I agree. Pink is one of the few modern artist that I can listen to. This rendition is quite close to the magical Grace Slick's performance. The cover is superb in fact. It carries the spirit and tone of the original and something more. It's that intangible thing that is perhaps informed by Pink's own underlying messages as an artist. You believe her. If she were the right age, she would have been there with us in Woodstock. The sensibility is there. Amazing that this song is as valid now as then. Agree with the comment in this post regarding the instrumentality vs the voice, but to a lesser degree. There was only one point where there was a clash, in my opinion. But if that instrumentality could just be lowered slightly and Pink's voice allowed her full projection, that's easily cured. It was just a second or so and did very little to impact my enjoyment of her rendition. In my view a marvelous homage. In thinking of this further, back in those days, there was not the production quality that we have today. You heard the singer's naked voice. I think Pink could stand up to this as well. I'm happy she covered this song. Very!!
@@normansmithers4465 Hi! while I appreciate Lady Gaga's voice and her sensibility, I am not a fan of her style. Miley Cyrus? I don't know her music at all. I don't follow music anymore as I used to when I was younger. So no offense to these newer artists. I listen to Adele, Pink, Madonna and Eminem selectively. Otherwise, i still listen to R&B, classic rock and cool jazz. The newer artists I discovered accidentally. There are only so many hours in a day, my friend, and I use them to calm myself against the vagaries of our modern world which I find corrupted and in a state of entropy. In addition, I have a visual addiction, so I watch certain types of movies as well. So little time, you see? God Bless.
The power of the original version is the sparseness of the instrumentation. Pink definitely did the song justice, but it would have been more powerful without all of the instruments. It is a singer's song.
Totally agree. I just watched Jefferson Airplane's live Smothers Brothers show video version. The instrumentals were stark, supporting but not overwhelming Grace. In the original Woodstock recording there seemed to be more instrumentals, much closer to Pink's version.
Exactly what i was thinking. Pink did a wonderful job with the vocals -- not sure why the producer felt compelled to add so much to the original instrument arrangement and drown her out.
Kathryn Green I’m sorry to hear of your displeasure. I actually enjoyed this tribute Pink boldly decided to tackle. I’m thrilled that she brought back this classic. Score aside, Pink’s homage was spot on in my opinion. Thanks for your feedback.
Grace delivered an increasing urgency that escalated into desperation,, simultaneously being combined with unlimited horsepower behind her vocal application....hard to duplicate...
Its good but it doesn’t have that “snaky drug” feeling to it, thats the only way I can describe it! Grace’s voice coils around the words, as if you’re in another reality. The Best!
Grace Slicks original will always be remembered as a classic, but Pink does great justice to a fabulous tune of the late 1960's flower power generation.
The original version is way better. I heard this version on a trailer for the second Alice in Wonderland movie and ugh, no. Give me the Grace Slick original any day.
The issue with most versions is that the artists fail to realize that the song starts low, builds in intensity, and finishes with a crescendo. Most versions are all over the map with intensity as the singer tries to put their own stamp on this classic song. Pink nails everything about this song. She also does a magnificent version of Me and Bobby McGee. She has spectacular vocal ability but also realizes that the song isn't always about the singer showing off, sometimes it's about what the writer wanted to say with the words and the feeling of the song.
Pink has a very powerful and real voice. She did this song justice. And, if you liked this, check out the video of her singing Janis Joplins Bobby McGee, unplugged too. She's pretty awesome 😉
soooo true... today they cover songs adding their own pop shit style... "ahhh ahhhh ooouuuuu yaaa yaaaa yaaaa"... can't stand that shit. either match or surpass the original don't turn it into shit.!!
@@Antonio-yy4vt No, that video was absolute crap, the difference between this cover and that performance is that Pink probably had a shotgun to her face here in case she went "all artistic".
Grace Slick was a terrific singer back in the '60's. I remember saying "Wow!" when she sang "Somebody to Love!" But Pink really does this up and breath's real life into this. She's VERY Good.
I was about 18 in when this came out. The rule was simple: played on a record or by a band you stood up and raised your right fist until they got to "feed your head" at which time you pumped your fist. Saw Grace do it live. Chills, man. Chills
Knowing how much effort Pink puts into her music and live performances I can imagine the retakes that must have been done until she thought she could do justice. She wouldn't want anything less. Great cover.
I have to say as a singer/lyricist that I've always given serious respect to Grace Slick for fitting "hooka smoking catapillar" into the time signature of the verse. And then to hear Pink nail it the exact same way, outstanding! Just goes to prove that vocalist who write the songs they sing are truly incredible...
Damn that was probably the best cover of this song. Gotta love them both. I was sent here after watching Grace Slicks isolated vocals for White Rabbit. Just incredible
Pink does an absolute killer re mix on this song..The Queen of my time (my opinion) has such a diverse range vocally she can sing anything remix and even put a spin on it and leave a pink touch !! TRUE talent ❤❤❤
@@melissahuddle6064 I can't imagine the original on Surrealistic Pillow will ever be topped. Grace was GREAT there. So powerful, sexy and stoned. Pink doesn't quite capture that, but I do appreciate her performance mixed with vintage footage.
If you watch Grace Slick do the song at Woodstock, you'll notice that she's not doing a very good job with it for the first minute or so. Very unsteady and (dare I say) mediocre. But when she gets to "When the men on the chessboard . . . " it's perfect and unbelievably great from then on. Check it out.
Singing it just like Grace did shows great respect. I first saw this live on the Today Show one morning and it was unforgettable then and still remains a show stopper.
when my youngest was a baby in a car seat he loved listening to music, he was raised on windows down radio up type stuff, his favorite song / anthem was Pink singing Rock star, to this day when i hear her voice it im brought back to that point i time,
This is one of those songs that I'm glad is covered by another generation. I hope that Pink fans look up the original Jefferson Airplane/Grace Slick version and learn that, in the case of this song, Pink, who is accomplished in her own right, is standing on the shoulders of giants.
@@BJBDF I find Pink overrated. Her music sucks. I heard a piece of her version on the Alice Through The Looking Glass trailer. Ugh, that was terrible. Why not used the original?
There's an isolated vocals clip on here of Grace doing this and you'll never listen to this song the same way. That said- Pink really did a great job on this cover! Very nicely done.
Didn't get to see Airplane, but did get to see Jefferson Starship before they became just Starship....Grace ,,,,,,AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!And just as a little side note you will see by my name,, I have went thru my whole life as--" bodine",Jethro bodine' "tull" " Jethro tull" "starship" " Jefferson Starship"and many others...lol.......
You know, when Pink first came on the scene I thought she would be just another Hollywood flash-in-the-pan with a new schtick. But I have been proven wrong. She is a very talented artist, a great performer, and a heckuva' business woman. She has won me over. Live and learn.
@@chefduane3742 This cover she did well as there was a very good arranger and a first rate orchestra, the version she did of this song with her tone-deaf band is just dreadful.
Pink is an amazing artist and her tribute to Grace with her spot on vocalization can not be denied, but there is something about the original,. the waver, the frantic sense of panic, something intangible that just can't be replicated.
Oh I absolutely cherish those who have embraced their calling such as Pink. Her music and even this cover has created ripple for generations to hold close when others are far. She has created a voice for those who needed the words she has song and the power behind her vocals to get through the good and the other times. Just a great musician that just keeps showing us we can wake up be human and make a difference if we embrace ourselves and carry through
I remember this song from the Woodstock concert. I did not realize Pink could sing so well. Given today's insanity the best you can do is "feed your head".
HAving survived teh 60-70-80-90s,....,, grin,..., Grace lived this song,..., Pink did not but all that said,...., Pink still brought back a few great memories. Thank you Pink! +)
Grace sang it with an urgency that climaxed into desperation,,,and she mixed that with what appeared to be unlimited horsepower during the vocal delivery..that's what made her offering the reference standard....Always liked PInk's vocal capability and she did a really good job here...
Actually, I hear a major problem in this cover - having just revisited the original: The band is too powerful. One thing is that Pink isn't quite able to match the power of Grace. That could be worked out. But the band, in this high-power arrangement, actually overpowers rather than supports the vocals. In the original, the instrumentals support the vocals, which makes for a very coherent whole. My respect for Jefferson Airplane just went up another notch...

How anyone can say anything negative about this performance is beyond comprehension. Beautiful!!
It sucks...that song was for a period in history. Compare this to Grace Slick...pink sukzzz

You can never replace Grace, but damn, Pink nailed this!
agreed, wow
she's a great singer
ruclips.net/video/dyMtIwobqbI/видео.html
not quite. just her and a microphone
Pink at her best.
Grace always said that she could sing Loud! Pink is good, but this song needs the power pipes!
23 beats on the last note!
That song gave me chills. Pink did a fantastic job 👏

Phil Spector wall of sound syndrome.
Respect to Pink, staying true to the original.
Was going to write the same thing.
Yes....that is why I liked this.
When you can't improve on perfection you do it like the original.
Not a fan of the electronica in this. I think it's cheesey and cheapens this classic.
Kathryn Green I’m sorry to hear of your displeasure. I actually enjoyed this tribute Pink boldly decided to tackle. I’m thrilled that she brought back this classic. Score aside, Pink’s homage was spot on in my opinion. Thanks for your feedback.

Incredible observation/comment. From someone (obviously) in-the-Know, i.e. another professional.
easy in this time and age. Just not as much through song.
Pink. Grace. Two people I give respect. Pink respected Grace. Give Pink respect. Wonderful performers. Both.
I think the accompaniment is over-produced, but Pink's vocals are outstanding. She really nails it.
15 second in and I agree. Well done, "Pink". NO one is Grace Slick, but wow is this well done.
Its good but it doesn’t have that “snaky drug” feeling to it, thats the only way I can describe it! Grace’s voice coils around the words, as if you’re in another reality. The Best!
Yessss you nailed it!
I know exactly what you mean. Pink's is a little more straightforward singing, while Grace's is a trip
This just feels overproduced. With Grace Slick I wanna drop acid and float
didgemama it was the 60’s! They WERE in another reality. 25 hours a day 8 days a week!!!
Grace had a lot more experience with drugs than Pink. She had a lot more raw emotions about drugs to draw from
Grace Slicks original will always be remembered as a classic, but Pink does great justice to a fabulous tune of the late 1960's flower power generation.
Edward Treadwell, have you ever read Grace Slick's autobiography book? It's greatly worth reading.
@@sergeantmasson3669 Thank you for the recommendation. I will endeavour to get a copy.
The original version is way better. I heard this version on a trailer for the second Alice in Wonderland movie and ugh, no. Give me the Grace Slick original any day.
@@jimmymelendez1836 Yeah, this is OK, but not crazy about dragging out each syllable, just kinda loses a little urgency.
Love that strong voice......well done.....perfect. I’m 68 yrs. old and have seen Grace Slick and the Jefferson Airplane. Pink is awesome!

you can't end with a crescendo; you build to it and then come down the other side as in a crescent. You can end with a climax as she does
Grace and Janice were pals. This makes sense... I wish this were vocals only
Grace Slick is one of the top 5 female rock singers ever.
I have not been a fan of Pink. But she did an AWESOME job on this song! Well done, Pink!
This lady has just earned my 100% respect. A very well done production.
I agree, nothing compares to the original. Just listened to Grace's vocals isolated from the instrumentals and omg. What a voice.
As an old Airplane fan, this is such wonderful tribute. True to the spirit, the lyrics and the music. Thank you, Pink.
Not a Pink fan, but WOW!!!! MAD RESPECT!!!
Bray Wyatt brought me here and now I'm certified spooked
Check out Jefferson Airplanes performance.
There's no substitute for Grace, but Pink does a damn near perfect cover of this song - actually one of the best covers I've ever heard, period.
Then Disturbed's cover of "Sound of Silence" will stop your heart.
Pink has a very powerful and real voice. She did this song justice. And, if you liked this, check out the video of her singing Janis Joplins Bobby McGee, unplugged too. She's pretty awesome 😉

This is how you cover an old song, keeping the lyrics without any change
soooo true... today they cover songs adding their own pop shit style... "ahhh ahhhh ooouuuuu yaaa yaaaa yaaaa"... can't stand that shit. either match or surpass the original don't turn it into shit.!!
Indeed
Keep the classes alive!!!
Nice comment....i wasnt gonna like it but Wow! she nailed it!
Boo Ya eeeh then it’s not a cover....it’s a remake...a cover means they’re playing the song in THIER style
When Pink started singing I thought it was Grace. Wow, great job!
Classic song, classic performer of a classic artist. Fed my head..!!
This was fabulous! I love Pink's voice. She gave Grace total respect. Pink is an awesome artist. Great job.

Grace slick is a really hard act to follow. Pink nailed it by keeping the cover 110% exact.
It’s that orchestra in parts of the track that need to be keyed down
WOW! Pink did an excellent job.

Have loved Grace's vocals from the beginning, have been listening to Pink for years, two great female vocalists, how lucky can we be!
WOW! Pink is the only one who has covered this right. And to put Grace Slick in the video in just this way--excellent tribute. Well done.

Her live performance of this song rocks. No instruments overpowering her vocals.

Possibly one of the most underrated talents of our time.
Why do people have to play “either or”.

You're perfectly right, both are fantastic singers !
Love Pink as a singer, much respect. The production of song/instruments is way overproduced here. Pinks voice gets lost in the mix.

Pink has a great voice. It's a shame the music track almost drowned her out. Great cover of a great song!
Good version. Makes me realize how difficult it is vocally. Props to both Grace and Alecia.
Job well done! She carried this song as if it were her own.
Nah weak sauce...she should be known as "Little Slick".
It's good to see the lyrics. I always thought there was a line: 'Keep your head'. and it was about not getting it chopped off!
Grace sang it with an urgency that climaxed into desperation,,,and she mixed that with what appeared to be unlimited horsepower during the vocal delivery..that's what made her offering the reference standard....Always liked PInk's vocal capability and she did a really good job here...

Maybe Pink's lyrics are a bit low in the mix but I find she's every bit as powerful as Grace, and that is saying A LOT. Band put their own twist on it, which is excellent but still true to the original.
IMHO, When you cover a song, you tend to make it your own, not an exact copy of the original. This is why many covers are better than the originals.
Dude !!! It's NOT Jefferson Airplane!!
I agree Henrik, its a commom problem these days
Big fan of this young woman, she beautiful and talented.
Of course it’s not as good as the legendary original, but I give her props for keeping it true to it. Good job Pink
