Hey guys!! Loved this track!! Let us know where we go from here! 🙌🏻🔥

Volunteers live at Woodstock is the one....

Re the Halloween livestream: it isn't possible that you haven't heard the song Dancing Queen by Abba. I can't fathom it!
@Peter Quinones
My girlfriend says I’ve heard that one before
I love the live version of "Plastic Fantastic Lover" from Bless Its Little Pointed Head. Greasy, nasty, sloppy, and about as fast a song as they ever played.
Imagine being 11 years old, growing up in Middle of Nowhere, northern lower Michigan, lying in bed at night listening to CKLW (AM radio station out of Windsor, Ontario) and this comes on. Mind blown, never to return to normal. I'm 65, still not normal. 😂
I grew up in Detroit. CKLW was THEE station! And Detroit had quite a few good stations. Thanks for the Memory!
WLLZ..”Detroit’s Wheelz” …was a good one too.
Catbyte 06 I'm from Edinburgh and I can identify, great comment, took me right back to that place
@@detroitpolak9904 and keener 13, and holly shite, fm came along, thank goodness
@@aviatom1 yeah! A joke I would make was if someone was listening to a shitty song, I’d say hey, can we put it on FM? The other people laughed, the one listening rarely did.
Grace had probably the most unique phrasing (that's the part you were talking about dragging out the syllables) and best controlled vibrato in the rock biz.
She's using tremolo (quickly varying volume of fixed pitch) not vibrato (quickly varying pitch slightly).
yes. Dumb and Dumber have no clue . Pitiful. We are all doomed .There is no future .
This track is from the album “Surrealist Pillow”. IMO it’s in the Top 20 of greatest rock albums. It spawned the genre of psychedelic rock in the 60s - and is a brilliant compilation of writing, musicianship, and production.
Some social trivia: China Kantner (daughter of Grace and Paul) was my courtyard neighbor during the early 90s. We shared a duplex wall, and she was always sweet and considerate. At one point she mentioned that her father was going to visit - and stay with her for two weeks. She gently warned me that her father tends to stay up all night playing guitar. She said ... “He’s been reminded that my neighbors work 9 - 5 jobs ... but I don’t think he gets it. So, I apologize beforehand.” In that moment I’m thinking...”Paul Kantner is gonna be playing live - right next door for two weeks?!! Hell yeah!” 🤣
Well? What happened?!
@@Laurasiana I found out he was in LA to record new material. So, for several hours a day he played acoustic guitar to work on new songs. China was hosting a rock radio format after midnight - so her father took advantage of that time to create. Grace would visit on occasion - but I wasn’t lucky enough to be home when she was there. Definitely no-airs ... salt-of-the-earth people 😏
Surrealistic Pillow is a great record. I wouldn't say that it spawned the psychedelic rock genre of the 60s though. Many bands experimented with psychedelic rock earlier, including The Doors, Cream, The Beatles, The 13th Floor Elevators, The Grateful Dead, Love, The Yardbirds, The Byrds, The Beach Boys and dozens more.
@@Almost_Famous_Ryan And JIMI!
@@tommathews3964 Are You Experienced was released a few months after Surrealistic Pillow. There was loads of them around the same time. Amazing time for music.
Grace Slick had the most powerful female voice in Rock, hands down. She holds that last note for actually 9 seconds, then that psychadelic guitar just shoots it out of sight.
“S” tier on the vocals alone. True psychedelic rock.
Superior. It’s higher than an A+ and reserved for the best of the best in their opinion.
@@gonnahitcharide I'm guessing Sauce.
the vocals are sick. Grace Slick was a FORCE of Nature.
@@bufordt.justice6741 To borrow from another commenter: Grace Slick had a voice that could haunt a house.
@@bufordt.justice6741 hearing Grace open the song with "When the truth is found..."
was an automatic volume increase if cruising in the car
In interviews Robert Plant has talked about his first time touring the States and how he was overwhelmed by the whole California scene, especially in the Bay Area. He couldn’t believe he was meeting Janice Joplin. He mentions Jefferson Airplane specifically in talking about the great bands that were around at that time
Being young in the 60s in the Bay Area meant simply crossing a bridge (from Berkeley) every weekend to hear the greatest bands ever. We were so lucky. Not concerts, just hanging out in the ballrooms and dancing while they played. Once heard Jimi Hendrix just hanging out playing in the Panhandle to a tiny crowd. So spoiled.
@@RachelDacusAuthor I saw Hendrix back in 1964 in Seattle at a dance club before he became famous. Not great to dance to, if I recall ....but fabulous to listen to. So we stopped dancing and listened Don’t think he played there again though.....it was a dance club after all
@@helenespaulding7562 He was spellbinding! You and I were so lucky.
There is a video on RUclips of Robert doing "She Has Funny Cars"
@@maninthebuff I’m going to look right now!
Jefferson Starship, do "Miracles" off of the Red Octopus album (the earlier Starship albums are better than the later ones). Marty Balin (R.I.P.) one of the founders of Jeff. Airplane was an incredible singer and songwriter.
His voice was mesmerizing!
A top 5 rock song Marty and grace are off the charts
“Pretty please, with sugar on it...”
Balin’s voice was a force of nature 🥰
Absolutely
You have to read the book “The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test” by Tom Wolfe to understand the era and mindset of the psychedelic movement. I highly recommend it. I guarantee you will be glad you read it and it will help with your reactions to 1960's and 1970's music. It’s a very compelling read and an interesting bit of history from an interesting era!
So glad you mentioned that book! And there was Timothy Leary and Ken Kesey, too. Writers during those crazy and turbulent times.
Seconded.
Read the book; gives you a complete grounding in the counter-culture movement back in the day.
The Catalyst in Santa Cruz was my hangout in the 60’s. It was the favored watering hole of the Merry Pranksters.
When I think of their starship years, I think of “Jane” with Micky Thomas on vocals. Good rocker.
Another banger!
Yes, "Jane" and "Find Your Way Back" are awesome tracks from "Freedom at Point Zero"!!... and BTW they were still Jefferson Starship at that time
I absolutely love the song Jane it doesn’t get enough love it’s such a good song
Winds of Change shows how well they sing together. Good stuff.
Absolutely agree, Jane is a banger!!!
This song and "White Rabbit" is the essence of the 60's. Haight Ashbury, hippies, drugs, free love and great music.
We went down to Haight Ashbury one night to watch the hippies.
Pelosi is still trippin at 81.🤦♂️🤣
Grew up in SF, down the hill from Haight Ashbury. Spent lots of hours there.
always liked somebody to love better
Do yourself a sonic favor and search YT for the "White Rabbit" vocals isolated, Grace Slick sans music. Grace Slick's bare, ethereal-yet-growling voice is HEAVEN. (No need to add, but I will state the obviously: one take, no autotone.) My *spine* tingles when I listen to it, without fail. Every single time.
I saw the Eagles doing Witchy Woman in 1972...they were the first warm up band for YES! Second warmup band was Edgar Winter Group. Great show.
I saw yes back in the day and they were the warmup band for Jethro Tull. Yes was not very well known at the time
Saw Eagles as the opening act for the Doobie Brothers, also a great concert
Very cool Rick..but what a different bunch of styles in one show .must have been fun.
@@sungodrah yes, very different indeed!! Eagles had their first big hit with Witchy Woman, Edgar Winter just released Frankenstein and Yes was promoting the Fragile album. By the time Yes came on though, it was getting quite late, and people were either leaving or falling asleep! An outdoor concert, beer and pot, a heady combination.
@@terrymoyer2673 nice combination!
Hey guys, you two seem to love to get "lost in the sauce." Therefore, I recommend The Chambers Brothers' "Time Has Come Today". Make sure you listen to the extended/long version. I do not think you will be disappointed. Cheers to you both.
Definitely!
Awesome song!
Jefferson Starship added the sublime vocalist Marty Balin on the mega hit Miracles which should be played next. Most seductive song ever!
He was part of Airplane too. In fact he was on this album. He sings Comin' Back To Me.
Marty was a founding Airplane member. He sang backup on The first Starship "Blows Against the Empire" so he was kind of already in the band
I stand corrected. He finally grabbed my attention with Miracles
@@myratatano5187 If you haven't heard Comin' Back to Me, take a few moments and treat yourself.
@@andyo3689 He also had a beautiful solo song that only Marty could do.
Atlanta Lady was Marty in his usual perfection.
I saw this comment several times, but “Find Your Way Back” and “Jane” are songs you gotta hear!! 🤘🏻
YES!!! And don't forget "Familiar Stranger".
There were several different incarnations of Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship, each of which saw different singers and musical styles unique to each era. As Jefferson Starship and with Marty Balin on lead vocals, check out “Miracles,” “Count on Me,” and “With Your Love.” From the Mickey Thomas-era of Starship, check out “Jane” and “Find Your Way Back.”
@@derkommissar785 "Blows Against The Empire" is an absolutely fabulous album! It's going to the island with me!
I think that song Miracles is the best they ever did, Grace or not.
@@mrsteve3527 I think so, too!
@veronica carlson I couldn't agree more.
@@mrsteve3527 No doubt in my mind Miracles is the best song they ever recorded. I still play it from the greatest hits CD.
Next: Volunteers from the Woodstock soundtrack. Grace Slick: "Alright, friends, you have seen the heavy groups, Now you will see MORNING MANIAC MUSIC. Believe me, yeah, it's a new dawn."
they had another vocalist, Marty Balin, who sang lead on many songs and was excellent
when jefferson airplane performed "somebody to love" LIVE ON STAGE its about an extra 4 minutes longer than the studio original!!!!!!!!!!!!,,,,,,this song is 53 years old !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Your friends, baby, they treat you like a guest..." Great line that John Prine topped a few years later w/ "all my friends turned out to be insurance salesmen." 😱 Glad you liked the cut. You guys rock!
In view of John Prine's recent demise from the 'rona, he really should be covered here.
No he didnt top
"All of my friends...come to see me last night
I was laying in my bed and dying..."
@@alansilverman8500 That song will sober you up.
Love John Prine, RIP
The fact that this band went on to record We Built This City in the 80s remains one of the unmitigated tragedies and profoundly wrong events in the annuls of rock history.
I worked with 65 year old union Boilermaker finishing out his hours to retire, caught him singing "We built this city on meth and speed!"
That was over ten years ago now.
@anita capilato bang on--cringe worthy indeed
@@alpine1600s captures the essence of Starship
Preach. 80's ruined rock
@anita capilato yeah true some boring whereas airplane was skyrocketing great
A full album listen for Surrealistic Pillow is worth it. No misses on it.
It’s all about that incredible, unique voice.
Definite banger. Grace Slick has one of the best voices in Rock. Glad you loved it.
The guitar player is Normal Kaukonen who started the band called Hot Tuna. Great band in the style of the grateful dead
Possible autocorrect failure there. His name is Jorma. Still playing with Jack Casady, Airplane bass player, in their 80's.
Correct. This song was already done by her first band 'Great Society'
Volunteers live at Woodstock is my favorite by them.....
Jorma Kaukonen on guitar, Ted Casady on bass. Saw them live in Bloomington Indiana about 1970.
Epic
Stick with The Airplane, The transition to Starship on, is mostly dreck. “Miracles” is good... So, back to JA, Volunteers is great. You should watch their set at the sadly Ill-fated Altamont.. you’ll see how intense Grace Slick is..
I dunno. I love We Built This City, but I'm probably just an idiot
@@GarrettEulett you said it. 🤢
@@sukie584 that I think the song is good and gets too much hate?
@veronica carlson Personally I think it sounds like fun. Pure 80s goodness.
@veronica carlson Grace still sounds as good as ever, tho.
Someone probably mentioned already but I'm gonna suggest listening to a side project, Hot Tuna. Jack Cassidy (bass) and Jorma Kaukonen (guitar) stripped down and bluesy. Good stuff.
I was just thinking today about how I saw the two split- off bands in 75’, so a comparison is relevant. Electric ‘Tuna’ at Tanglewood kicked ass, but Starship as part of a multi - band festival in Syracuse a couple months later was not so impressive. Grace Slick seemed burned out and a bit haggard sounding even though she was only 35. So, Jorma and Jack really took the juice with them when they left, and they’re still going strong !
Amen
Jefferson Starship MIRACLES (album cut) !!!!!!!!!! And read the lyrics ;-)
Definitely an orange slicer 😂
We all got a taste of the world with those lyrics!!!
@@supertrouper2550 I know somebody had to reference that line😏
@@pandacosu8217 :)
This is music that gives you the feel of being high without being high.
Happy New Week. Volunteers of America and Today are my favorites. They later became Starship with songs like Familiar Stranger, Believe in Miracles and later Sarah and We built this city on Rock and roll. Enjoy your day and the music.
Good choices
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN Thank you Music Mate. Enjoy your day and the music.🙂
Aaa Jefferson airplane ✈️ was what you did with a roach by splitting a paper match up to the working end placing the roach between and lightning it up for the frugal heads who didn't want to waste something so important. This is in lieu of a roach clip otherwise known as paraphernalia.
The "drums on one side" is due to the fact that this was recorded with a 3 track machine, so there were tremendous limitations as to where instruments could be placed in the stereo mix. You are going to find that most songs recorded before 1968 fall into that category as they were usually recording with 2, 3, or 4 track recorders.
For your next Jefferson Airplane song, I suggest Good Shepherd. Not a banger, but some really cool guitar work and a superb tune.
It's also why a lot of audiophiles prefer true mono recordings from that time if they exist. Mixing on "Surrealistic Pillow" is pretty good, but there were a lot of bands (even the Beatles) from that time where the stereo mix was a difficult listen.
Also much of the recording desks had no panning capabilities. On each channel, your choice was 'left-centre-right'. No in-between.
👍 the first entire album with a full stereo spread on the drums was Wheels Of Fire by Cream (August 1968). Pentangle had an album with intermittent full spreads before Cream. Before that some groups, like the Jefferson Airplane, would do things like gradually pan the drums to create some interest and a fuller sound. Frank Zappa had two different drum mixes, one on the left, one on the right. The Grateful Dead did that as well.
Some of the Jazz Albums from the late 50s and early 60s had like an inadvertent somewhat full stereo drum mix from the basic reality that jazz artists recorded live and the drums would bleed into the other instruments’ microphones.
That drum mix on Wheels Of Fire, especially the “Studio Disk” still holds up in my opinion.
The full spread requires at least two dedicated tracks for the drums. This fit better with the 8 track recorders that came out in the later sixties.
I have the Mono vinyl.
I love Good Shepherd!!!
"I'd Love to Change the World" by Ten Years After... just sayin'
No that was a sellout to make money ....their worst "hit" ....Sugar The Road way better
”Let the sky fall” is my favourite for sure
Choo Choo Mama
I love Goin' Home from Woodstock but too long for here probably. Alvin Lee was amazing. That and Soul Sacrifice (long version) are my favorites.
The already reviewed that song. Check out their past reviews.
Phase one / the 60's)
Jefferson Airplane
Phase two /the 70's)
Jefferson Starship
Phase three / the 80's)
Starship
Grace’s natural vibrato is impeccable, as she can’t help from singing a perfect song!
Keep in mind that Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship are two hugely different animals. After Kaukonen and Casady left they got way more pop oriented.
100% vastly to a degree different bands
Jefferson Starship carrys on with the blessing of Grace Slick, who contributed some writing to their latest record, and the late Paul Kantner who played with this lineup until he passed. David Freiburg, who was with the original lineup in '74. In fact he ci-wrote "Jane", is still with the band. They play the Airplane songs and the 70's J.S. songs as well as some new things.
I guess Mickey Thomas continues with Starship, doing his era's tunes. Have not followed.
I prefer Hot Tuna over Jefferson Airplane but that's me.
This was the BEST JA track for this channel. Along with “Volunteers” which you should view live, because why not?!!
Hey, does anyone remember “Lather?” - strange little song but more trippy ballad than banger. 🤪 It was off Crown of Creation (another “passable, but let’s pass it” track).
Hell, yes, I remember. It still pops up in my head once in a while. "Lather was 30 years old today, and lather came foam from his tongue ..."
Thanks, Mainster! I thought I was the only strange fan that remembered that song. It goes quite off the rails with the “nose music.” What were we all on? Lol.
“Putting drumsticks on either side of his nose, Snorting the best licks in town.” I was sooo high that decade. Lol 😂 I actually like the song and the message, having a bit of the Peter Pan syndrome myself. Haha 🤪
Lather is a brilliant song, one of Grace's best...
Glad to see someone else likes Lather. One of my favorite songs from the Airplane and also of that Era in music.
Glad to see the respect for “Lather.” Even today, it gives me flashbacks. ✨🤪
"Find Your Way Back" by Jefferson Starship rocks.
Awesome banger!
The Mickey Thomas era produced some good songs except for maybe the infamous "We Built This City".
@@fredhall6525 by then they were starship
the production and REVERB of this song are one SLICK production no pun intended !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Check out Embryonic Journey!!! One of the best acoustic instrumentals ever!!
Jorma!
JANE by Jefferson Starship!! It’s one of my karaoke songs, but it feels impossible to sing. Only Mickey Thomas can sing it.
Produced by Jerry Garcia...I think they called it “Spiritual Direction” in the album credits.
Spiritual direction? Heavy, man...
@@sjw5797 😻
Makes it sound like he brought the drugs
@@SirDoofus2u 😻
I believe he was listed as Spiritual Advisor.
Jefferson Airplane at Woodstock performing "Volunteers" is a part of Americana..
Grace looks and sounds like a million dollars! It's on RUclips! Far out man!
Airplane ascending, Starship crashing.
But JEFFERSON STARSHIP - Heavenly.
Pretty much dead on.
Well yeah, "We Built This City" was cringeworthy,but "Sara" was sublime. But in recent years with a reconstituted Jefferson Starship featuring David Friedberg and Cathy Richardson versus Starship featuring Mickey Thomas and Stephanie Calvert (who looks and sounds like a younger Grace Slick),I do know I prefer watching Starship
@@robhaunui3343 I agree, Starship had a couple good tunes. But this channel is all about the "older" music and bands. so in that context, I'd stick with only Starship with Grace.
Exactly. God, I wanted to throw up when I've heard "We Built The City." Grrrrr. It's WTF happened to them?
Grace Slick's powerful piercing voice & Jack Casady's superb bass lines.....
The backbone of the Airplane, Jorma and Jack, have been Hot Tuna for like 45 years now.
🤘👍👌
Jorma Kaukonen is really good finger style guitar player, check out Hesitation Blues by Hot Tuna
I bought a Hot Tuna record once.
Hot Tuna was on tour about a year ago. They played the Sherman Theater in Stroudsburg, PA, where I used to go for the movie matinees 50 years ago!
Saw them live in a club in Seattle and Paul Kantner played the entire set with them so basically JA without Grace Slick.
The band, It’s a Beautiful Day, kinda a “one hit wonder”, band that sounds similar to Jefferson Airplane, but made great song titled, “White Bird”, one of my favorite songs from the era. Check it out.
Jefferson Airplane tended to be more of a live act than a radio presence, a common sight at many West Coast venues throughout the late 60s, so their singles also tended to be quite to-the-point, as you've seen. I'd recommend next checking out an album cut - "Hey Fredrick" or "Eskimo Blue Day", both from the album Volunteers, are strong jams. Then, in '74, they effectively split into two groups, Hot Tuna, and Jefferson Starship. Starship would go on to produce mostly radio tripe, especially after the departure of founders Grace Slick and Paul Kantner, but their first album Red Octopus produced the extraordinary, brilliant "Miracles".
Exactly
Real quick, Dragonfly preceded Red Octopus by a year and was JS first album.
I agreee with you about "Starship" and "Hot Tuna", but "Blows Against the Empire" is still great.
"Do you know
we could go,
We are free.
Any place you could think of
We could be."
Check out Lovin' Spoonful. "Do You Believe In Magic" is probably their most famous, so you might know it when you hear it. "Summer In the City" is a good track too.
great job guys. Grace Slick's voice sounds feirce on this cut, the whole band sounds awesome. pretty flawless. thank you!
Jefferson Starship "Miracles"
I really hope they do “Miracles” next!
I'll second that. But do the long version. The short version takes away a lot of the magic of the song.
Gents, so happy to hear you react to this song. It's been a favorite of mine since it first came out. As far as Jefferson Starship, please, please react to Miracles with Marty Balin singing lead vocals with Grace Slick shining through. You will enjoy it musically but if you read the lyrics to it -- OMG. Thanks for this groovy memory.
Miracles is also cringe worthy. It sounds like a send up of Barbara Streisand.
The entire surrealistic pillow album is incredible. Trippy summer of love from san Francisco finest
When you hit Jefferson Starship, "Jane" is the tune. THE tune.
Always liked the instrumental Embryonic Journey from this album.
Same era, another SF band, It's a Beautiful Day and "White Bird." You'll live it.
White Bird is fantastic! Love it, but hard to find.
@@kimcree7790 Here is a link to its eponymous album: ruclips.net/video/hnsGGDlZXSE/видео.html
That said, I prefer the live Tanglewood version, ruclips.net/video/q918fs4RAto/видео.html
The song length is because it had to fit on one side of a 45.
I'm 71, I saw many of the bands live you are discovering, concerts were BIG back then like Woodstock, my band even got to open for Poco and Spirit in my "yoot". Yes, no Internet, no cell phones, songs were cookie cut for radio and often had to be "danceable". It was hard for bands like Yes, Kansas, Deep Purple, Steely Dan, etc. to have a few "radio friendly" hits, to get noticed, long album cuts wouldn't get any air time. And................the killer bands had organ/keyboard players through Hammond B/M 3's with that gritty Leslie sound. Keep up the reviews.........
Hey so like I went to school in San Anselmo which is like in the heart of Marin County on the Sir Francis Drake boulevard man. I used to see Grace Slick in a "candle" shop in San Anselmo when I was walking to the bus after school. I met Jorma the guitar player at the cotati cabaret in '79 when I was freelance roadying a gig. Marty Balin came to my school and gave a poetry lecture in my English class. I never met Paul Kantner but one of my friend's sister went out with him. I met Jack Cassidy the bass player at a party given by the guitar player for the Tubes in Napa in 1980. I might have pissed him off because I was asking him so many questions about Jimi Hendrix recording sessions. So that's my tale of name dropping the Jefferson Airplane.
I bet the poetry lecture was awesome
@@aMulliganStew he was a friend of my teacher Mr Eccelson. He read some prose poetry and then did Q and A for the rest of the time. We also had Ali Akbar Khan give a short concert in that class. He taught us how to count an Indian raga. I still remember how.
Check out “Jane” by Jefferson Starship. A stellar late 70s banger!
This is very much a song from a time and place. If you want to know what the late 60's-early 70's 'felt' like, this is it.
"Rejoice" is a good example of Grace Slick's songwriting, performance, and piano. She rules. She's also a great smartass.
@ 05:37 - The way Jefferson Airplane were able to to weave their harmonies, accentuate vibrato, and blend a strong and steady beat into the fray was a mind blowing experience .. (especially on acid LoL!) .......
Grace Slick's voice is awesome in this song!!! I'm 73 yrs old and never tire listening to our baby boomer music!! I'm from Colorado!!!❤
Stick with the Airplane at first. "Volunteers," "Wooden Ships," "Crown of Creation," "We Can Be Together," are all excellent.
I was going to suggest "Wooden Ships" too, as well as "Coming Back to Me".
Wooden Ships is a a great song of post-nuclear war, something that everyone was worried about in the mid sixties. CS&Y also did a great cover of it.
Memories (looked up the day and date): age 16, Sunday, July 28, 1968, riding home from my morning bus-boy job at the Los Angeles Griffith Park Country Club (Dawes brand bicycle, purple five-speed, brought here from England when my family moved to Glendale, CA in 1965), I was on the road encircling the Merry-Go-Round grassy area, stopped to find out why so many people, Jefferson Airplane free concert, stayed to watch, it was great.
Great reaction Gents!! Sorry I missed y'all Saturday. Busy caring for my Daddy after an acute stroke & serious arm/head injuries. Oh Andy .. cool new tat!! Meant to ask u bout that. I'll hop on insta & check it out later. Here's an excerpt from wiki on this bands history:
The October 1966 to February 1970 lineup of Jefferson Airplane, consisting of Marty Balin (vocals), Paul Kantner (guitar, vocals), Grace Slick (vocals), Jorma Kaukonen (lead guitar, vocals), Jack Casady (bass), and Spencer Dryden (drums), was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996.[3] Marty Balin left the band in 1971. After 1972, Jefferson Airplane effectively split into two groups. Kaukonen and Casady moved on full-time to their own band, Hot Tuna. Slick, Kantner, and the remaining members of Jefferson Airplane recruited new members and regrouped as Jefferson Starship in 1974, with Marty Balin eventually joining them. Jefferson Airplane was presented with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016.
Thnx for all y'all do .. keep up the great work .. CHEERS🥃🤘🏼🥃🤘🏼
“Jane!” next up by Starship! Must do!
JANE JANE JANE.... YOU'LL BE SURPRISED AT HOW MUCH THEY CHANGED BY 1979 🎵🎵🎼🎼🧐🧐
Stranger!
"WE Bilked This Shitty On RnR" theeee worst tune.
They were okay but sold out
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN by 1979, everybody had sold out.
Oooh, I forgot about that one. It was a great one too...
I got to sit with Grace Slick, Jorma Kaukonen, Marty Balin and Jack Kanter at a David Crosby show in San Francisco in 1986. They were cool and completely real. David forgot the lyric to his song "Leeshore", stopped singing and playing, so I shouted down the intro lyrics to him from the balcony that was right over his head. He said, " Thanks man" and picked it right up again. The Airplane crew glad handed me and we smoked some joints together. " YOU SAVED HIM" Grace whispered into my ear, and kissed me on the cheek. The rest of the show was great!
Hope you check out Wooden Ships - while you’re at it , then listen to the CSN version ( which I slightly prefer ) Members of both groups wrote the song - interesting story as to why CSN took sole credit for the song initially. Either way , both versions are well worth your time
Wooden Ships is a phenomenal song in my opinion.
@@mr.goodenough3796 I concur on Wooden Ships. Hey Frederick for another great Grace Slick (lead vocal) song from the Volunteers album and the instrumentals are also top notch.
ruclips.net/video/w25xghugIdg/видео.html
Excellent song, wonder what A&A would make of it after Somebody though...
My fav version is from the Daylight Again Tour. Stills is such an underrated guitarist imho.
@@neonpark1874 Nicky Hopkins piano on "Hey Frederick" is outstanding.
One of the greatest female vocalists of all time. This song is all attitude. One of my favorites right from the opening line!
Ok so I was 10 when this was released. 1967. Heard it first on AM radio. Really a song for the times. Great review. Great song.
Try some Todd Rundgren
They have. The 2 hit singles "I Sw the Light" and "Hello, It's Me"
this came out when I was a freshman in college. Everyone in the dorm had it. It was, at the time,THE representative of the San Francisco sound....beginning of the hippie movement and counter-culture...psychedelic rock. Grace Slick....what a HUGELY powerful voice. It was said she could break a glass with it.
Next Jefferson Airplane song: "Volunteers"
If you want to do a Starship song: "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now"
Also check out their version of Wooden Ships. Another great (and never reviewed by any reaction channel) deep cut is Hey Frederick.
Volunters, Wooden Ships or Eskimo Blue Day would be awesome tracks for them to listen... I think they would love them all
Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now??? Total garbage. No true fan would ever suggest that song in a million years.
@Tom Cass I'm sorry, but I don't think a song sucks just because it's the most popular.
@@rubicon-oh9km I don't consider myself a fan of Jefferson Airplane or Starship, but I think it's a damn good song, even though it is very commercial.
"Miracles" and "Ride the Tiger" were Jefferson Starships comeback songs. However I'm Duty-Bound to reccomend "Ride the Tiger" to you Boys, because of the two "Ride the Tiger" rocks.
Very good idea
I love both
I think Miracles has more going on including more passionate vocals from Marty and better production. It’s far more epic
@@cirenosnor5768 I think Miracles is the better early song too, but the Boys like a good Banger. Like I said, I'm duty Bound to these Boys and My Generation.
radar0412 - Understood and your choice is definitely a banger contender 👍
Now you MUST do Miracles.
@Marsha Brown I completely agree!
Absolutely! The most sensual song ever. Ever. Did I say ever?
@@tashakomaroff2982 agree 💯!!!
@@allisonreed7682 they banned this song from many radio stations for being too sexual. I mean is about sex but it is a GREAT song
@@maryann1252 that’s too funny. I’m not sure how they managed to pull it off but the radio stations in Memphis played it pretty regularly. Beautiful song, I hope they get to it soon!
IF you hit Starship, “Jane” is a fun banger with some very energetic guitar and vocal work. But, you really aren’t missing a whole lot if you skip that band altogether.
Jane is a great song, but it sounds like a completely different group (which it was in a way). Micky changed the style of Jefferson.... Starship.
People definitely knew Grace greatness. Saw them at an open air concert Chicago Pier 50,000+ .
i suggest "Miracles" or "Jane" next time you come around to them
I saw Jefferson Airplane in Louisville in 1971. My first Concert. I was hooked from there!
Check out Little River Band! Glenn Frey of the Eagles refers to them as the best singing band in the world!
Yes, but do "It's A Long Way There" is their best song, by far!!
Excellent choice
YES! They are overdue for some LRB!
@@mvellis3863 Great song but probably not the best one to start with in my opinion. I think Lonesome Loser would be the best option
Little River Band are very underrated
Grace Slick has a phenomenal voice!! The guitars are fantastic.
Jim Carey doez a hilarious version of this in The Cable Guy.
Jim Carey taps his voice box to get the reverb. ruclips.net/video/XNc9phYujWY/видео.html
Yes he did great job..pulling on his throat to get the changing voice or reverb..classic
No he doesnt it s stupid
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN says the guy who doesn't know how to use punctuation. Lmao
My mom stood right underneath Grace front row at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles February 1968. My mom even sort of resembled Grace. Ha ha.
Grace Slicks voice is amazing to hear. Her ability with pitch and tone is beautiful!
It has got to be "Jane" from the Jefferson Starship era. The singer on that song is a whole other rabbit hole by himself.
"Find your way back" is a solid song. Mickeys voice brought another level to the band.
The first time the Airplane morphed in Jefferson Starship was with the release of "Blows Against the Empire." It is a great album by Paul Kantner and Grace Slick with a a lot support from musicians like Jerry Garcia and David Crosby. Classic early 1970's psychedelia!
Add the song, "SUMMER IN THE CITY" by The Loving Spoonful to your list of must hears.
Officially the group name was Jefferson Airplane featuring Grace Slick because she was on loan to the band when this song was recorded. She became a full time member after her other group broke up. Grace wrote/co-wrote "Somebody To Love" & "White Rabbit".
They became Jefferson Starship in the late 70s/early 80s when some of the original band members left and took "Airplane" with them. As far as to when they became "Starship" I don't know because I lost track of them in the mid 90s.
Jim Carrey did a good job with this one in Cable Guy 😂
"Volunteers of America" next and it jams 🤙🎶 lots of em Changes...
The album
"Bless It's Pointed Little Head" - Live at the Filmore West
Awesome
"Jane" is the Starship's best song from my point of view. The build-up to the guitar solo and the solo itself are in my top 5 ever.
Gentlemen, I applaud your willingness to delve into music that was before your day. Probably not able to adequately convey the mood; but to have lived in the day that this song was written, well that changes everything. I wish you could borrow my time machine and go back to these times and you'd be blown away listening to this now ... you'd really get it then. But bravo for listening to this pioneering music. Peace Guys!
If you're gonna check out Jefferson Starship, definitely gotta give a listen to Jane
For another short banger from the era to check out is CCR Up Around the Bend. Checks in at about 2 40 and is an absolute banger. Opens with one of the most iconic guitar lines ever. You could pause it after about 8 sec in and tell it's a great song.
Just listen to the whole, "Worst of Jefferson Airplane." 'nuff said...now you know why HST had such a crush on Grace Slick.
Goosebumps.
Jorma Kaukonen....
Who’s HST?
@@helenespaulding7562, Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
Notice the singng starts right away. back then DJs used to talk over the intro of songs until the singing started. With this song, that wasn't possible! very slick!
