Yup. Crosby had a wonderfully complex soul. Stills was a dick and just wanted Crosby to act more like Pat Boone, and continued to slag David long after his death. Daddy issues, I guess. The closeted/cosseted Stills craved only to join a barbershop quartet. Then along came Vietnam and wrecked his Mayberry-era namby-pamby dream.
In my old age, I found that I was living my life by many of the words of Airplane songs. Go back and listen. Grace Slick lyrics, are some of the building blocks of my life.
"Soon you'll attain the stability you strive for. in the only way that it's granted. in a place among the fossils of our time." Never let them define and constrain your life, and always keep growing!
War's good business so give your son, and I'd rather have my country die for me. - Grace Slick song lyrics But we should be together, Come on all you people standing around, Our life's too fine to let it die, We can be together - Grace Slick
Rest in Power Dave Crosby ✌🏿😞 Thanks for all the inspiration and All the beautiful music and knowledge.I now share this with my kids.I will cherish you in memories.Getcha Pull 🥃🔥🥦🌬️💨🛸-CHEERS 🍻
I was there for this. Sat right off to the side of Graham. It was one of the best moments of my life. Thanks for posting this. Brings back great memories.
fupperdupps what an experience, not their late 60s/early 70s peak, but at least you caught the essence of both CSN&Y and JA with a beautiful rendition at the end of the 80s.
you prolly dont care but if you're stoned like me atm then you can watch all the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Have been streaming with my girlfriend for the last weeks =)
I had never heard this before. What a great song with Grace Slick adding her iconic voice! Thanks for posting. I know I found it because of David Crosby's recent passing. RIP David Crosby. Your wonderful voice from my growing up years takes me back to a happier, gentler time when I could sit around with friends listening to the best music ever written and recorded. Much better than the so called music of today. Oh, yeah. There's some good stuff but not albums after albums of the soundtrack of my life.
@@LucyLennon909 LOL! Maybe I could at least take you out to Dinner! Denny's or "Top of the World" in Las Vegas? My Band played this on College Campuses all through the 1970's after I survived the U.S. Army 1969-1971. Man, those were the days! Now retired after 41 years in IT, I am hard at work on my Book. "Wooden Ships" is now again very much upon us. We are in big, big trouble!
Airplane ✈️!! Crosby Nash !! To listen alone takes you to so many places !! Grace has so much talent !! 3 unbelievable voices !! CROSBY OMG !! RIP DUDE. GX
The best compliment I've ever gotten was: Someone told me that I remind them of Grace Slick. Smart woman she doesn't believe in geriatric rock performances. Rather just paint 🖼🎨🖌
I have always loved this song. The vocal harmonization on this version is terrific, with an unpolished sound at times, which I rather like. Great post!
Thank You RUclips this is Fantastic and it brings me back to my younger days.This sounds just like it did back then with the added voice of Grace Slick.
I've forever loved this song ,w Grace it's perfection!!! She can duet w David & Graham so beautifully......it flows like water from a spring. Though a originally a protest song as I've heard before my time....I love CSN & when (Y) was present. That was excellent
Tre leggende alla voce e alla chitarra. In una meravigliosa commistione di stili vocali e musicali, tra David Crosby e Graham Nash (del famoso quartetto con Still e Young) e Grace Slick, eccellente vocalist dei Jefferson Airplane. Grandi! :-)

This clip is fantastic by gathering icons of a generation joining talents to perform this beautiful song. Thank you, Myyy Tunes5.
That was absolutely amazing. To have three great musicians together, singing in harmony and just enjoying being together, it doesn't get any better. Thanx for posting this.
I feel lucky I got to see Grace in 79 when she came back to join Mickey for a Starship tour. I also feel very lucky to see CSN and Young for their last tour as a political tour against Bush. It was the Red Rock concert, brought my young son and my best friend. One of the greatest concerts ever. It ended with about a 20 minute final jam of Rocking the Free World.
I had no idea until the other day about the mix up on Wooden Ships at Woodstock. Great to see this video of Grace joining Crosby and Nash for this version. Thank you for posting this. Love ya
I am lucky enough to have seen the Airplane several times and CSN&Y. This version of Wooden Ships Slick, Crosby and Nash is incredible. Thank you, so many memories of time gone by. The beauty is what's to come.
3 Beautiful people singing a truly amazing & epic and timeless message in song~~~~~~~ ~~~Very Free & Easy, you know, it;s the Way~ it's supposed to be~~~ Thank you for uploading this gem!
vada28 I disagree with you, but that is cool. None of us are perfect, and being a human being, he too has made mistakes in his life. He has also written and made music that helped and saved many lives, which is more than can be said of most of us.
Thanks for posting this! I was there that night off to the side of Graham. It was one of the best musical moments of my life! So cool to see this again after nearly 30 years!
The abiding virtue of this version is that it fuses Airplane's approach with CSN's and actually been co-written by core members of both, notably Paul Kantner. Whereas Crosby planted the song in a time -- "who won the war", Airplane uses "who won" -- and Airplane abstraction only implies conflict in keeping "the other side". This opens the song up a more universal set of human behaviors. This might seem small and analytical for a mere 1970s/80s song yet what a song it is and is not just something from popular entertainment. Kantner wrote the Airplane version specifically for Slick's voice and it is worth remembering that she was and Eng Lit graduate from a noted American university for ladies. Literary allusions pervade Airplane's material and although it seems that Ms Slick was expelled for some reason or another, it appears that she had been a high achiever. She would have known Wilfred Owens' 'Strange Meeting', in which the word "enemy" is used only once but only to distinguish the dead men talking to each other. Owens' poem is quite long with war/conflict being a human trait -- in which the dialog is by mutual victims there by chance. Crosby spoils this improvised version of 'Wooden Ships' towards the end by trying to extend it but is reined in by Slick and Nash.
I always preferred JAirplanes version. ( Paul Kantner did help Crosby & Nash write it...) It had a bit more grit to it. ! ( I just played this myself, over the weekend, at an open mic session)How delightful to stumble over this, this morning!!
Connie died tragically in 10th grade . The road was wet, the car was going to fast…that oak tree was big, just to big man. Like a delicate flower she was here and blossomed and was gone…1980…eclipsed

Incredible performance! As someone commented, I agree this is one of the best versions I’ve heard - Crosby was just amazing 👍
A fantastic rendition of one of the all-time '60s classics.

una delle più belle canzoni della storia del rock!!!
This is a seamless song by 3 amazing artists. It’s perfect.
Classic. Miss it.
a devastating apocalyptic song - as relevant today as it was back then - beautiful version.
The best compliment I've ever received was when a guy told me that i remind him of Grace Slick.

GREAT MOMENT IN TIME --- never heard Crosby better
Great collaboration. 3 of the best harmony singers ever!
Plus Grace.
Airplane ✈️!! Crosby Nash !! To listen alone takes you to so many places !! Grace has so much talent !! 3 unbelievable voices !! CROSBY OMG !! RIP DUDE. GX
Down a RUclips rabbit hole and came across this. What a great version.👍❤
I just love Grace Slick. What a great voice she has.

@@LucyLennon909 check Beth Hart out. She rocks as hard as Grace Slick did, along with a great blues voice.
@@randallsmith7885 thanks! I found a couple videos of Beth Hart. She is a very good singer songwriter.
Indeed
@Lucy Lennon I've seen her paintings online. She's very good. I still wish she was singing, though.
Singing with Crosby and Nash mellows Grace's sound. Very nice.
This is MUSIC
Fabulous, way to go Grace!
I treasure these old performances. To me they will never get old.
James Hedman
Love Grace in there. Rest in Peace Crosby
Ladies and gentlemen, the fabulous Grace Slick...
HARD TO FIND THIS... GREAT
Great to see/hear Grace singing this with Graham and David! Thank you for sharing this!
This is so great !
"...somewhere where we might laugh again."
This one !!!!! Definitely in my collection as of now every road trip ,sesh ,,yesss wow Crosby & Grace, Nash ,, timeless❤

Wooden Ships is a collaboration of Bay Area greats!

Yeah..so did I!!:)..agree..hard to find same kick ass groups..I do like Imagine Dragons...Milky Chance..take a listen Wallace:)❤
Wow! How old are you lol!?...
It's not CSN. It's CN. It would be three times as good if Stills was there on lead.
I much prefer Crosby over Stills.
utmost respect for a masterpiece
Shine on David Crosby, shine on....Aloha
best song & best version ... & I love her

Free and easy is what gets us into trouble. Life is about being responsible for your actions. There's a time to work and there's a time to play.
@@DavidPackluvr he'd laugh at you. He knows he was always an angry train wreck

Stunning!

So very beautiful.
I am so happy that this is the only version that I knew and like. Thank U, CSN
Truly Morning Maniac Music.
A song for 2024. Peace !
We had peace with Trump. 4 years.
Smooth and sweet.
Amazing !!!
I always preferred JAirplanes version. ( Paul Kantner did help Crosby & Nash write it...) It had a bit more grit to it. ! ( I just played this myself, over the weekend, at an open mic session)How delightful to stumble over this, this morning!!
The best version of Wooden Ships ever is by the Jefferson Airplane
Maybe bc Marty Balin is out of this world amazing
That last chord on the vocals is awesome
Straight out of the Airplane playbook, sounds like to me.
As I've always said...so much chemisty between these guitarers oh yaaa - won't ever die xxxxxxxxx
All three in great form
INCREDIBLE ACOUSTICS
Woodstock Generation never died...
This is the end of an era.Enjoy this music
Simply delicious !
Joan Osborne and Grace Slick....now, that would be a great duet....
Wow lovely combo
amazing
Fantastici!
wow. is this possibly the best version of wooden ships?
Congrats good version
from times past never to return
Best version!
Rock 'n roll woman.....
Thanks for this.....
