In Greek folklore, Helen of Troy was dubbed "the face that launched a thousand ships". In the '60's, Grace Slick was known as "the voice that launched a thousand trips".
Best comment ever!!! 😉
When this was recorded for the album she sang it on her back while tripping. It's one of the best albums ever made.
When I was younger I was known as the kid who dropped a thousand trips lol
I love it. She definitely ushered many a human on a trippy, other worldly journey. Little LSD didn't hurt.
And Mariska Veres.
Grace OWNED that stage whenever she stepped on it. God Bless her. Now, going on 82!!!!
1967, released, Grace wrote this, based on Alice & the Music is based on Ravel's Bolero. She is a POWERHOUSE ❤❤❤
Grace Slick, the original Rocker Chick, is STILL alive AND well at 84!! It's especially miraculous considering how many drugs she did back in the day AND being an alcoholic at the same time. She is amazing.
Haunting even today….
The bass sets this song up just perfect
I have a sister that is 10 years older than me. I am now 61 years old. She was babysitting me one night, and took me to an awesome party. I think I might have been around 8 years old. I heard this song then. I've loved it ever since.
The guy in the middle I love your expressions listening to this track, you were really into it.
Grace plays her voice like a lead guitar !
I am from this time period. I like you guys... all of you. But the one in the center reminds me of of me long ago. I was a singer, I got it, and it was intense.
great call running it back🚀
"Somebody to Love" would make a great follow-up. Grace's voice really gets a workout.
That became the first single RCA issued. This was the Follow Up.
Somebody was written by Darby Slick her Brother and Guitarist in her former group The Great Society.
Dude in the middle was getting dragged in that rabbit hole he spoke off. Loved to see how he start moving progressively more as the song progressed
This was great. Next from Jefferson Airplane: 'Somebody To Love'. This is their most well known song and Grace Slick's vocals will amaze you. Again.
agreed. to this day i break out in chills when I hear her open with "When the truth is found..."
@@haintedhouse2990 It's the philosophical fulcrum of the Coen Brothers' film A Serious Man. One of my favourite underrated movies ever.
Another "must" react song from Jefferson Airplane is "Somebody to Love."
The way the vocals in this song sound distant is basically exactly how a lot of sounds are on psychedelics, meanwhile other sounds (like the drums here) are clear as day, but not distracting.
This is one of my all time favorites ❤ I was born in 65, my older brothers hitch hiked to Woodstock. If you haven't, check out the Woodstock performance of this song. Brilliant 👍💯🔥😎
This is actually the first psychedelic song that was played in the radio waves at those times and yes Alice in Wonderland's dipper meaning was about the adventures of the mind when high in drugs💊💉🥴🤪
I had a crush on Grace Slick 55 years ago; I read she just turned 80. God, I’m old.
All you guys need is 3 tabs of LSD and you would be playing this on repeat.
And have no idea that it had played over and over.
I really like how you guys reviewed this song, and that you let it play uninterrupted. I remember being a young girl and thinking that when I’m older I’ll understand this song. That came true. When Grace Slick begins the line “when the men on the chest board get up and tell you where to go” it ALWAYS sends chills through my body. Her vocals get SO powerful from that line to the end of the song. What a classic that song is!
This song structure is known as a "Bolero".
"you can catch a cat without a smile. but can you catch a smile without a cat?"
Most takes from that period are full set just with different camera angles. No computer generated music during that period. It was all unique! I lived through it and it was FANTASTIC!!
There was a movie called 10 with Dudley Moore and Bo Derek a real beautiful voluptuous woman and a song in the movie was called BOLERO Is the backbone of this song and it starts out subtle and it keeps building just like the song bolero and Grace slicks voice reminds me of the vocalist in a flamenco dance or dancer who sings that's Spanish style of flamenco vocals That's what it reminds me of with the castanets and her clicking those heels on the hardwood floor That's what this song reminds me of It stirs my Spanish blood lol
Miracles!!!
It's like tripping on drugs then come down. This is definitely a group that doesn't do drugs.
Classic!
Somebody to love was huge for them.
Listened to this song triping in High School, and then in Vietnam!
It ain't a moral failing not to know the history of music from 55 years ago...Woodstock was famous for 500,000 people not killing each other while having a miserable rainy weekend with the biggest bands in the world providing the soundtrack. But it has not retained the title for the biggest audience.
Living in the Bay Area 20 minutes east of San Francisco, Jefferson Airplane is still big today in the Bay. If u go to SF youll see murals of Jefferson Airplane, especially on Haight & Ashbury.. Basically, 5 to 6 city blocks that still trapped in the 60s & 70s
AAAAHHHH....another "Anthem" from my misspent youth....and I loved ALL OF IT!!!!
*Gentlemen* First, I've NEVER felt soooo old when 2 of you said "I've never heard this" .... lol.... I GET IT, truly.... but this song was SO massive, SO pervasive, SO emblematic of 1967 "The REAL summer of love" that it's mind boggling to me you haven't heard it..! *LOVE YOU GUYS* and I never comment but come on my millenial music lovers.! If I {at 60} am well AQUAINTED with Post Malone, Tom MacDonald, etc.... you guys got some root diggin to do.! I've watched countless reaction channels over the past 4 years.! Yours is one of the best.. The editing is a bit quirky... sorry I'm a former touring musician & DJ so my musical filter got thrown in the trash somewhere on The Sunset Strip in the 80's..... BUT.... you do a good job.!!!!! THIS ONE, the not knowing just reinforces my belief. That being, a) Information overload is a huge problem and b) The age of the algorithm has *DEPRIVED* the public of so much.... In any event, live your best musical life young Turks..! I'll be watching...... David .....
Great comments.. I hope they take the time to 1) read the book Alice in Wonderland and 2) get a grasp of the revolution that music was the core of in the 60's ... same struggle going on today.
This is the song to listen to late after a night out, when you are feeling chilled and can allow yourself to drift on the lyrics and music. Atmospheric, seductive and hypnotic. Grace was a wonder. Music as art. Still chuckling about the retort " Jesus was before your time too" Watch Platoon. Let's hear it for the girls!
OMG that WAS so funny!
This is the song to listen to while smoking a doobie.
@@KevinQ1989 this is the song to listen to while the shrooms kicks in
@@KevinQ1989 Back in the day maybe. But now it is strickly green tea, dressing gown and slippers and 2300hours is a late night. But listening to Grace makes me feel anything is possible that is for sure haha
WOW! You guys should consider reacting to Platoon. It is legendary and required viewing for Americans. Lol...
So surprise you guys are hearing this for the first time. I am too love you
There's a version with just Grace singing just the vocals its haunting .
It's so different without the instruments. Much more eery
This song is pure LSD...product of the times.
This is Grace's best vocal performance. The band steps back and gives her the all the spotlight on this. Listen to 'Somebody to Love' or 'Plastic Fantastic Lover' to get a BLAST of what the band sounded like when it kicked out the rams.
Jefferson Airplane - Volunteers of America
It was one take. You can listen to the isolated vocal. She sounds like she is singing in an empty warehouse or something.😁
Very Similar to Bolero, they had that in mind at the time.❤😊 Grace Slick an absolute Powerhouse!
I did this song in a lip sinc contest back in the 70’s.. it was really popular to lip Sinc and they had contests to see who did it best! I dressed like her and wore some hippy clothes and danced and sang , I won 2nd place, this was in Seattle Washington in the 70’s. Great memory!
She was painting the roses red. The queen
1865 English novel by Lewis Carroll. It details the story of a young girl named Alice who falls through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world
you guys are adorable as I watch you react to this. You are like 3 bobble heads.
There was Jefferson Airplane which morphed into Jefferson Starship which morphed into Starship.
I’m 69 and I sang this song in front of my hometown in 10th grade😂😂
Love Grace’s vibrato.
The anthem of the 60's
Some people say this song is purposely under 3 minutes for radio play but I doubt it. Your right it's a crescendo perfect crescendo. Record companies back in the day would edit songs like Light My Fire (The Doors) down to 3 minutes to quality for pop radio''s time length limit. It took FM radio to change that situation. Thank God
Look at you guys in your pastels. Love it!
I don't know if they're still there, but she used to have wolves carrying away women painted on her bedroom ceiling, I was told. I believe it. The 60s and early70s were Wild! I don't know how I survived, sometimes!😃😄😄🙃
And now it's in the new MATRIX 4 movie!!!
Great song, Grace Slick wrote it while living about the Fillmore in SF. Guys need to watch Platoon. Great movie.
Love Grace Slick's voice. You need to listen to you need somebody to love. Another awesome group!
In many ways a brilliant reaction!!
On the other side of the 45 record is the song "Somebody to Love".
LOOOOOOOOOOVE THIS PHSYCADELIC SONG! .. SO FREAKING 60S. LOOOOOVE IT!!!🌻🌻🌻🌻❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍
You should hear Slick sing this song without the instrumentals ….just her voice. It’s amazing.
My favorite
Don’t need drugs to get high
Grace slick actually did say the line feed your head was a call for people to read and educate themselves
This song is based on Alice in wonder land that was about drugs and fantasy. Don't let anyone tell you different.
The song is about an acid trip and makes references to Lewis Carrol's famous Victorian novel from the end of the 19th century Alice in Wonderland and the sequel Through the Looking Glass.
Also included in the Soundtrack of Platoon. Grace Slick was in the Great Society when she debuted this song and Somebody To Love written by her Brother Darby. She took this song written by her to Jefferson Airplane.
The live performance at Woodstock is worth it
What a wrap-up, a powerful suggestion: "Feed your head!"
Couldn't read all comments and this reaction is a year ago. But, the little pills mother gives you.....back in the day doctors would prescribe "happy" pills to stay at home moms. As Mrs Robinson in "the graduate " the original song"sounds of silence " is on the sound track.
Best reaction I've seen anyone do to Go Ask Alice. One of my absolute favorites!!!
Remember the movie "The Matrix"? Neo was told to "follow the White Rabbit." There are several nods to this song in that movie.
Platoon is a must see movie. Brings you to the war we lived through.
Paint the white roses red!
Acid Rock
An era of exploration....within
She was known for her volume and her equally piercing eyes
Flip of this as a single was Plastic Fantastic Lover written by Marty Balin. Drummer Spencer Dryden replaced Skip Spence who went on to Moby Grape
Grace Slick is Amazing! Looking forward to the rest of this week and future reactions... Great job!
My local planetarium used to have a laser show with this song (among others).
Grace Slick an amazing singer! ❤
Biggest complaint about this song was that it was too short. There is a live version that is much longer because of the instrumental elaboration.
Is that hat from "Rocko's Modern Life?" Love it!
Grace was legendary.
Alice in Wonderland (2010) starring Johnny Depp is quite entertaining indeed!!!
Platoon will rock you, fantastic movie
It was brilliant to run it back to the beginning because of 'the structure'. It's a quick hitter, and it really builds from the start, and they'd have missed just how strong the buildup is if you didn't rewind.
By the next Album After Bathing At Baxter's They discovered LSD and it showed on that album!
Jack Cassidy on base. Check out Hot Tuna formed by Cassidy and Jorma Kaukonen after they left airplane. Still play together, seen them many times. Watersong is amazing acoustic work.
Melody & structure based on a Spanish Bolero.
I just got this album as a reissued 180g Vinyl at Walmart.
Painting the roses red, Painting the roses red if the queen sees them white its off with our head thats why we are Painting the roses red.
Absolutely love this song! ♥ Grace Slick is one of the greatest female vocalist
In college I saw Jefferson Airplane in concert twice, 1969 and 1970 - They were one of my favorite live bands. I used to sing White Rabbit in our band in college.
Put me on the Jefferson Starship "Miracles" bandwagon. I have no doubt you guys will love it!
Great song,sooo catchy,her voice:))
She was inspired by Alice Through the Looking Glass which was the movie Alice In Wonderland a Disney movie.
Also from a seventy's movie titled Go ask Alice.
To be pedantic, this is based on BOTH Alice in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There. Chess pieces are only in the second book; the hookah-smoking caterpillar and white rabbit are in the first. And so on.
Jefferson airplane was slang for a roach clip (joint holder) made from a split paper match.
More recently White Rabbit was used in an ad for Celebrity Cruise Lines which was weird.
I love that you are teaching your friends about this music! I'll be 71 this year and as a California kid I was instantly in love!! ❤❤💋💋
I have always loved this song. I listen to reviews to expand my appreciation of songs as thinking about them helps me do that. This time I heard the "Spanish guitar," influence, if you will, in the opening.
The first time I heard this song, it was an instrumental version of the first... verse?, overdubbed with part of one of Lyndon B. Johnson's speeches and then part of one of Hanoi Hannah's radio broadcasts, playing in the main menu of "Battlefield: Vietnam".
