Man I was 18 watching this. The nostalgia is thick. Guests and hosts not choking on politics, say whatever you want, people are genuinely funny. Geez the 80’s seems like a lifetime ago
The eighties, only yesterday. That ole' serpent has sure screwed up the world, again. Time for a reset, cause nowadays it sure is hard to enjoy a day without hearing all the crap.
80's were the Best!!! Seems just like Yesterday.
I was 18 also, totally agree🤟
@@toddolson573 yep! Not joking or being sarcastic or anything, but I am enjoying watching Little House, and Knight rider with my 8 year old. He loves it, and always asked me when are we going to watch them.
The 70s and 80s were the best of times for me, except for right now while I enjoy seeing my son so exited about life!
@@jeremyc9229 LOL I'm watching Little House with my 16 year old daughter. Isn't it great?
I love Grace Slick. She doesn't sugar coat anything. She just tells it like it is!!
Brutally honest with a hint of sarcasm. I like it.
As it should be...
And she looks great doing it!
Over 20 years of the hard, wild R 'n' R life at this point, and Grace is still sharp, witty, articulate and gorgeous! Dammit girl! One of the finest ladies ever in the music biz. And down to earth real with no fat head...I think she'd chew up & spit out any of today's pompous, self-grandizing women in rock!
Absolutely, everything You just said
If anyone hasn’t seen the RUclips video of her singing White Rabbit with no music, just her vocal part.....you don’t know what your missing! What an incredible voice!
I've listened to that many times.
Powerhouse
Man, she's just the best. Honest and extremely intelligent. I love her interviews.
Always
Wonderful witty lady ! I love her, and she has one of the most amazing voice ever !!!
Banatar, Wilson, Nicks....Them ladies didn´t mess around when it came to their craft.
She is such an awesome guest as she is so honest and doesnt give a crap what people think, she says what she wants. She is ALWAYS entertaining and brilliant.
Your avatar is a baphomet star ; it is Satanic !🤒
Amazing how Grace Slick was so graceful and such a down to earth female rock star singer!
Hello Jean, How are you doing?
Fun interview, 200x better than what passes for late night talk shows now👍
She is always a great interview.
@norman green
It's all you ever talk about it norm
Grace is so clever, a great person to interview. So many stories to tell. I love this woman! I can still see her on the album Surrealistic Pillow. So damn beautiful she was. She could have made it as a model, easy!
I've seen a couple of interviews with Grace which convinced me that she was the smartest woman in rock and roll.
I may be a bit unusual in that I really like both Airplane AND Starship!
well jefferson starship at least first few albums arent all that different
No but I'm sure you're unusual for so many other reasons ☺
me too
Jefferson Starship and Airplane is the same band. They just changed the name from Airplane to Starship. Any 80's people know that.
Starship was a reformation with new members after Jorma and Cassady left Jefferson Airplane.
Her autobiography is one my favorites of all time. Crazy life and unapologetic.
one of my favorite memoirs - funny as hell.
Canr wait to get it😊
There's only one thing to say about GRACE. SHE ROCKS.
I had never heard her interviewed before. That was great. Simple. Honest. Real.
she's a throw back to the tough broad era, you see that a lot with women who have to make it in a male dominated business.
She's a no talent drunk who only hit the big time because in the late 60s that sold until everybody got sober!
@James Brice She wrote "White Rabbit" and her husband or brother-in--law wrote the other. She's a great singer, although seeing her live eight times, I have to admit that her drinking ruined two of those performances.
Andy Leibrook Come on, man, she’s considered one of the finest female rock singers of all time. Top 10 for sure.
I don’t know about her addiction, but how many musicians and artists have had addictions? Charlie Parker being a junkie doesn’t make him any less of a talent. And this is coming from a former junkie.
wendy pearson For sure. When a guy does it, it’s lauded as “rock star excess” and “boys being boys,” but when a woman does it, she’s a “no talent drunk.”
Shit, life’s hard, and I know touring all the time and the pressures of stardom are massive. I can see why they’d resort to drink or drugs.
@wendy pearson Yep, I get it. I'm an addict in recovery, so I know about the temptation. It's not easy.
Grace Slick has a great voice and is reminiscent of Woodstock with some classic songs . Tremendous talent.
My daughter never heard of Woodstock 😮
@@tamerahedman2279 I was 7 years old when Woodstock occurred.
She sang White Rabbit at Woodstock!
I wish late night was still like this. . .
Late Night died years ago.
Nothing but talentless hosts today.
I don't find any of them truly funny the way Dave was funny. Plus, there so many ads during current talk shows that there's barely time to talk. Or, be funny.
Jeeze I love her, she seems really sincere and while she wants to be liked by the audience, it doesn't seem like she's acting or playing to the crowd.
Gosh she has so much personality
Ha! I remember her daughter (she's my age). Everybody totally loved her daughter back then. She looks just like Grace, but very thin and very blonde. Haven't seen her in years, hope she's living the good life.
One of the all-time great powerhouse rock singers. As iconic as it gets.
Grace with the original Airplane was an incredible band. Marty, Jorma, Jack, & Paul. Acid Rock, Blues, & Folk. They did it all and they did it well.
Grace always a terrific guest. Dave had her on several times.

I was overseas in Germany. This is the first time I have seen this. Grace Slick you were absolutely beautiful. It's to bad that I was overseas in Germany. I love the Jefferson starship while I was stationed in Ft. Lewis, Washington. I loved the 80's. I spent half of them overseas. When I came back from Korea and I was listening to Jefferson Starship and I was told that the songs were released in 1984 and it was 1985 in the spring time when I first heard the songs. My friends asked me what rock have I been under. I told them that I never heard anything that recent while I was in Korea and I was 20-30 minutes from North Korea. Then they shut up. Yeah people freedom is not free.
Rip Marty. Grace it’s been a pleasure to share the ages with your music. ❤️
She's been on Letterman several times, and you can tell she appreciates his sense of humor and approach.
Nobody reads my descriptions.
Grace just seemed to take life as it came, Not too seriously. Yet she became one of the greats of Rock and Roll.
“Alright friends, you have seen the heavy groups, now you will see morning maniac music, believe ... Grace Slick ☮️
Loved Jefferson Airplane! Real Rock and Roll!!
Grace is totally “Slick”!! I have always loved this lady! Dave had her on his show so many times, and I think it was because he enjoyed her witty humor and because the audience totally loved her!! God Bless this beautiful, talented lady.
I love those American types, I'm practicing by saying, awesome, wow fantastic, fxck, shxt, forgetabout it, every morning bub 👍😂oh and getoutahere 😃, it's great 😆!!
I would have loved if Grace had her own talk show....I find her very intelligent and entertaining!
Intelligent? You have low standards my friend.
George Penwell
And you must be one of those people who label anything they disagree with as "stupid". I label people like you as stupid.
Kirk Moore Nice one Kirk.
She's like 50 years old here. Looked fantastic!! Love her " sass." She's quite intelligent. .
She is age 47 mid 1987
No. Maybe 42
Born in 1939.
48
An original. She and RONSTADT - different vibes but honest with no pretentious selfish BS. Great ladies from back in the daze.
linda didn't write shit though !
@no yes Hear, hear!!
@no yes Agreed. She is great too.
Grace Slick is one fantastic singer!
Well you make me feel so good by listening to your comment, Hello how are you doing
Grace is always gorgeous and awesome!!
More interesting that I'd have imagined. Glad I watched.
I absolutely LOVE Gracie. Me and about 200 million other men. Even still as she's now in her 70's. To say she rocked...
Why only 200 ? Just here in Europe we're 400 millions !
@@maurizioy7266 Good point! Atta Boy!
She’s 81 years old, she was born in 1939.
@@itwasntmeboningbivvy181 ...and when I wrote that she was in her 70's.
Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now is such an 80s anthem. So underrated.
It's pop listen to Crown of Creation ✌✌
@@donlofting4268 AOR
Meh......
how is it underrated?
Letterman doesn't get the credit for pushing music and forwarding bands as much as he did. He loves music and he's had some bangers on his shows
Love looking at American tv from the 80s-the hairstyles always cheer me up!
Grace Slick the best female singer of all time. She can still kick ass.
luv that
WOW--I had NO idea she was a brilliant and sharp woman--HYSTERICAL
She is just real beyond all get out! Love her!
my favorite female rock singer
Those Eyes!!
Absolutely loved Grace hope she's doing great.
I think she became an artist on the central coast Cali
She cracks me up!!! She just says whatever spontaneously comes into her head, LOL
agreed! Geraldo Rivera once asked her "if you had it all to do over again what would you do different? she said "i'd have blonde hair and big tits"
Love Grace and Letterman. Spontaneous and sarcastic!!!!
I saw the Airplane in at two shows in Honolulu in 68' . The first was at the H.I.C.,( Honolulu International Center), and the next day they performed a free show at the Waikiki Shell out door venue, Hollywood Bowl style, and I was front and center there. Had a close look at Ms. Slick in the Hawaiian sunshine and she looked fantastic. The night before she wore her hair down as we always see her but at the outside event she wore an afro, red no less. Not gaudy, flamboyant red, but subdued, muted red. Probably a wig, I don't know, doesn't matter but have never seen her dawn that look again. This by the way was my second rock concert ever. The first was the night before, yeah baby, 12 years old, YIKES !
She really was super intelligent and quick. I have a Dick Cavett show recording of Jefferson Airplane the day after they played at Woodstock in 1969 and she was the same then.
She couldn't remember Dick Cavett's name lol. Called him Jim. He got her back by calling her Miss Joplin
plz consider putting that recording online !
Grace is one of those people so unpredictable that she makes most people uncomfortable....not Letterman he enjoys being along for the ride.
Oh, the 80’s! Big hair & even bigger personality. I love this gal. Her talent is unlimited. Didn’t she know when to retire. She felt that old rockers look silly & I agree with her.
Clever, sharp. The same old Grace Slick. Talented.
So quick and witty
real people guests, not like the cloned androids of today.
theseeker123 what do you mean?
Trey Stephens the fact you have to ask that means you'd never understand the answer. Put on your Beyonce and "rock" out.
wyattdoodat it was rhetorical
wyattdoodat I don't listen to that woman
A constant old fart refrain since the beginning of time: "everything was better in my day" lol
I really wish she had continued with Starship. She has an amazing voice!
Grace is a class act and so witty!!
"Its truncated." 'No its WRONG is what it is!' LOL, I love it.
Man, I miss the days of great late night entertainment.... Miss ya Dave
The great days of late night were over by Dave’s time.
Where is he?
She's older than Ringo Starr or Paul McCartney which is mind blowing. She looked so young during Woodstock that I thought she was the same age as her contemporaries from that era.
Wow! Grace totally took control of this segment and made it nonstop fun & interesting. Dave should've just gone for a coffee break.
Groovy. Man 1969. I was 5 years old Man I wish I was there at Woodstock. Biggest music event with real music. !!!! Groovy. Never can something go on because of so many rules. Rock Woodstock forever!!!!!
Nice comment Hello how are you doing
Today, (October 30 ,2020) , the beautiful Grace Slick celebrates her 81st birthday.
Happy Birthday, Grace 🐰✌❤
Wow
Time to get out the needle. She said in an interview one I either saw or read that she wants to die from one big blast in her arm. That was the most brillant thing I ever heard🤬
Grace is cool and funny. I sat at her feet on the stage when they played the free concert in Grant Park in Chicago in 1968. She put her empty Budweiser beer can down on the stage, and I took it and had it for years.
Grace is so cool. Great intelligence & funny and does not take herself seriously.
She should have been taking herself more seriously though she was an incredible singer unlike other women who did take themselves seriously.
True! (listen up Stevie Nicks - i love you but for fuck sakes - lighten up!)
@@dampergoldenrod4156 having known a few people in the business just what are you willing to give up to make it happen. The price is often too high. Grace seems to know that.
@@dampergoldenrod4156 man she had 3 decades of rock and roll hits , not too many bitches have that !
Grace is NEVER boring.
No she isn't.
Kirk Barkley,
She’s one of the nicest strongest iconic sounding influential people on Earth 🌍!
She couldn't be boring, if she tried.
@@PhukIT1865 couldn't agree more
The energy this woman had is transfixing. Hard to imagine her sitting still thru hair and makeup. This clip... the band, her off the cuff and starkly honest commentary and then the fountain and lighting show! So much going on in a few minutes while David tries to steer the wild ride with glee. Authentic. Oh, the hair and earrings, stunning!
One of my favourite rockers!🤟
This was the day I was born.
She still has my love!
Lovely point you make hello how are you doing
shes a smart woman.
Her book is absolutely hilarious....always loved Grace and her no nonsense personality....she is the real deal.
What a excellent point you make,hello how are you doing today
When she had her first child she said, "l always did want a pet human".
haha. first time I heard that.
Watch Grace singing White Rabbit at Woodstock, incredible.
Or just watch Woodstock as a whole
I agree. Unforgettable. Mesmerizing. Sexy as hell.
@@ahill4642 she was amazing and it was 7:00 in the morning.
Brilliant interview
First time heard Grace interview and this is absolute fun -
She was soooo beautiful at Woodstock
"next time you come on the show please sing something"
*never goes on the show again*
i'm still wating
@lil' pump she retired just 3yrs after that interview so..
@TomG Gabin she never had stage fright
Damper Goldenrod She didn't when she was loaded. Then she got sober and well, shit changes.
I have always been a huge Grace Slick fan.
never heard of Jeff Airplane before Grace joined the group. She was the voice of the the group.
She was so gorgeous.
Still is
A ROCK LEGEND!! WOODSTOCK 1969 AMAZING!!
Hello Judy, How are you doing?
Ha, she’s got a good sense of humor. Doesn’t seem to take things too seriously. You can tell that she’s seen it all and done it all before.
Love Grace....she speaks her mind...and her strong voice ....my favorite female artist...❤
It’s wild hearing Letterman talk to Grace about the “old times” when this interview is now from “old times”. I enjoy every decade of music, but I wouldn’t trade growing up (ages 10-20) in the 80’s for anything.
Grace was awesome. I loved her and her voice.
Hello how are you doing
The queen of rock
Grace is the coolest.... ♥️
04:12 When you realize how amazing the 80's truly was.
A small low budget water squirt display comes alive? Yeah thats accurate. Lol
Lol
@@msa110 😂
"Oh my God, another commitment!" LOL
Grace Slick, oh yeah!💃🎸☮️
Wow you do make a good point here and I agree with you,hello how are you doing today
She could hold her own with Letterman!
Oh , you know she really liked being on his show
Im so in love with her! She is incredible, beautiful, funny, so engaging and so open. And it's really a shame that she didn't sing, because she has one of the most incredible voices in all of music history. But she was so friendly and affable and fantastic it doesn't really matter. One of the best guests that he ever had, one of the best interviews that he ever had!
I love grace slick and i still do today, she was an awesome rock n roll singer and shes an awesome artist too
Grace Slick! An American Icon!
27yrs ago. Wow! Where has the years gone?
It’s worse than that - 37 years ago.
Grace Slick XXX COOL X ❤️🌹 ROCK'N'ROLL JEFFERSON STARSHIP!!! X APRIL 28th 2020 RIP 'MARTY' X🌹 LOVE & PEACE XXX
Hello Loretta, How are you doing?
I seen Grace at the Carowinds Paladium back in the 80's. Awesome show. Also with them 38 special. Paid 6$ for both bands.
Grace Slick was on Letterman in 1983, 1984, and this one in 1987 and Dave asked her the exact same questions every time. Hello... Daaavve... It's Grace Slick!!!
What an awesome, cool lady.
Some of the best eyes in the world.
I saw her on the documentary music Woodstock,1970 enjoy and cherish the memories and the moments of Jefferson Airplane we may never pass. this way again .
