I remember seeing this aired originally. Thought Grace was so cool just standing there belting out the song, especially the first, White Rabbit. Stone cold. Later in an interview she said she was frozen scared and it took both songs before she started to loosen up. Perceptions. Still, her standing there motionlessly singing with defiant eyes defines cool for me.
The Jefferson Airplane was one of the most creative psychedelic bands of this era and captivated the attitude and mood of the 1960's generation. This was and still is fabulous sounding music.
They ARE the most creative psychedelic band of the boomer era. Gracie Slick is one of a kind. She takes you on a trip with her vocals & those searing blue eyes of hers that no one else can.
Jack Cassidy was such an inspiration to my bass playing. Precursive, melodic and dynamic, playing to what the songs needed without being obtrusive. Thank you, sir.
@@JackFou Definitely. Pretty much the rule back then because most television shows simply because they did have the tech to support live performances. This one could and the Airplane definitely delivered: ruclips.net/video/Xrpf9J5Fi6U/видео.html
Can you believe our generation is dying out. Ha Ha I thought we would live forever. I know I am old but still feel like I am in my 20's . Love to watch these videos of the fun days.
I was 11 years old in '67. These are just two of the iconic sounds of the 60s that defined the decade and was playing in the background of my wonder years. Paul wasn't wrong about parents having to worry about their kids, despite my mother's warnings about smoking those "funny cigarettes" a couple of years later I got high on "grass" for the first time ! Courtesy of my older cousin. Rest in peace Gary. ✌☺
I was 7 tears old in 1967. We really are lucky to have been born at that time musically speaking. Grace was so stoic here. I love both of those songs. Amazing to still see & hear Jefferson Airplane. Black Sabbath formed in 1968. This video reminds me of Black Sabbath & Ozzy.
Grace is badass, Jack cracks me up with all those cords, I love when Grace forgets Paul's name 😹. And Dick Clark is, as always a true music fan and gentleman
I drive for Lyft and I play classic rock in my car and one older lady was in my car and we were talking and she was totally blown away that I knew of Jefferson Airplane. My dad played me their music a few times when I was a kid because he grew up in the ‘60’s.
autohmae that’s now, not then. It was real, if the fukd up it was on tape. Might be they spliced the tape after the fact.... or they did a retake at the time.
White Rabbit.. The song that changed me from being an 11 year old bubble gum music listening kid back in 1967 into the world of hard rock.. It was a glorious time to be alive.
Thank you RUclips for letting us see that blast from the past Jefferson Starship from 1967 play two of their greatest hits on American Bandstand it's psychedelic it freaks me out and blows my mind
The Airplane in its prime...I adored Grace Slick...Had her picture on my wall as a teenager...but she wasn't just a pretty face. In my opinion she was, at least for a while, the most impressive female vocalist in rock. Surrealistic Pillow has got to be right up there with Sergeant Pepper as the greatest...and most influential...album of 1967.
I always loved Grace Slick....and Marty Balin....their voices meshed nicely. Paul Kantner, Jorma Kaukanen, Spencer Dryden, Jack Cassidy (the latter threw would form Hot Tuna)...what a group!
Dick Clark was a master. He is so smooth with just a minute or so interviewing as many band members as possible and apologizing to those left out. Bravo.
and in this minute and a half, he bridged the 50's to the 60's...no judgements, just curiosity, interest, and never condescending. he help enable it to become mainstream American music of the 60's and beyond...
i agre and disagree. to me it made the fact he skipped them stick out more and actuaslly felt awkward. it was bad for t.v and therefor i wouldn't use the word master because to me it was a mistake on air. that said it shows he was a helluva genuine guy so i give him kudos because i could see he felt bad for skipping them and that is something considering the controversy at the time and the fact he had to tow the middle ground
This was live television. No post-production editing or going over the allotted time, because they have to get to their sponsor's air time (i.e., commercials). Look at 7:58, he looks at his producer sensitive to how much clock he has left. I think Ryan Seacrest would be able to pull this off to just as smoothly, but not many others could.
God!!! I'm only 34 as of this comment but I keep coming back to this. Not only was the music just above everything else, but Grade Slick just has such a unique and amazing voice! And so gorgeous in mind and body!!! I am amazed! I wish I had been there to witness this at the time.
Dick Clark was absolutely masterful. He was just as comfortable talking with these leaders of the Acid Rock movement as he was talking with Wayne Newton or Frank Sinatra. He was a genuine hipster way before the term was coined. What a class act. RIP. I bet he's organizing Heaven Bandstand and talking with and introducing all those who have passed.
If there is a Heaven, the music there would be absolutely amazing! That's all I want! Just die and be in a never ending live show! Unfortunately I'm an Atheist, so if there is a Heaven, I'm screwed. Lol
@@andrelinoge4340There is a Heaven, at least to me. My mother had an NDE as a 10 year old. I’m not kidding when I tell you she told me and my siblings this story weekly throughout our childhoods and way beyond because she wanted us to know there was something greater than us all out there. She was sick and bed ridden for 3 years with Rheumatic Fever. It was back in 1933. They didn’t have access to antibiotics or doctors for that matter. Plus, it was the Great Depression, and boy they were dirt poor, along with the rest of the country. She was given the last rights of the Church 3 times. On the third time, she said she went to Heaven and walked with Jesus down the Valley of the Shadow of Death. She described every single thing they did and saw. It never wavered. He then told her it just wasn’t quite her time yet, and He was sending her back to her mommy and daddy. The next morning she woke up fever free for the first time in 3 YEARS. I know you’re shaking your head, rolling your eyes 👀, laughing, all the while thinking “this lady is off her rocker” 😂. It’s the way an Atheist would react and is fine with me. We all have our own beliefs. We are all here to learn human life lessons that we take with us when leave this physical world. Maybe being an Atheist is one of your life lessons. We all have free will to do, say, feel or think whatever we want. But at the end of the day, when it’s our time to leave the physical world the Big Guy in the Sky will be there to welcome you home with love because God is pure love, light, peace, understanding and forgiveness. You’ll be just fine when it’s your time. Hopefully, we won’t see him anytime in the near future. 🙏🛐😳😵💫🥶😱💀✌️☮️😉
Lava lamps. I remember them oh so well. Everyone I knew in the 70's had at least one. White Rabbit has been on most of my playlists almost 50 years now. Best played LOUD.
Megan Joyce I heard that she was Stoned full time from 1965-1970. Grace Slick also gave as good as he got with Canadian Journalist Jan Wong when Jan asked he about her past Addictions and Grace refused explaining that there was an Anonymous in Alcoholics Anonymous because you were given a code of silence.
Megan Joyce Her voice is kind of mediocre. Technically she's a disaster. The vibrato is forced and doesn't come naturally to her. It does fit with the music though.
+azynkron The world is full of technically gifted singers who never made an impact. Grace is a giant. You could never confuse her voice with someone else's. That is "where it's at."
I was 12 during the Summer of Love. Grace Slick was so alluring. At 80 Grace still is. Watching them " put on" Dick Clark and American Bandstand is still trippy. They didn't even bother to try to lip sync. The teeny boppers were clueless to what was coming across their universe in psychedelic colors. Happy 80th Grace Slick!
Amazing how they pulled off that performance without one guitar plugged in and no microphone. And then made it sound exactly like the record...AMAZING!!!👏👏👏
@rockthesix1679 That’s how is was back in the day. It just wasn’t done that way. It was a different era, the Hippie era. Lot’s of social change happening. But let me tell you something, they were f’n INCREDIBLE in concert. Grace is one of “the” premier female voices in Rock history. How you heard her voice in the clip is exactly what you got in concert. They started in 1965 and went on until @72/73. They parted, but in 74 regrouped as Jefferson Starship and continued on, having multiple hits, through the mid 80’s. She is 84 now 😮😳😵💫!!
Vi amerikanci ste tih godina imali pristup LSD legalno i napravili novi talas rocka što je za pohvalu..... A droge su sranje realno mutna slika realnosti
Yah a lot of these are back tracks of the instrumentals at min and sometimes either a back track play and live vocals or lip synched. You can tell all guitars are working lol.
@@michaeldewerd4709 These days most people get there music from utube, MTV and various streams. In Britain cirtainly there was more emerging rock on TV in the 60s than now.Its a myth that it was never aired.But we should,at least, be greatfull to utube for showing us something that,by and large, we don't have anymore
Great musicians...Never realized how bad ass the bass is on these two cuts.. or anything Jack Cassady plays...1967 was one of the best years for recorded music !!!!
I think i've listened to White Rabbit in 2006 for the first time. I remember how unusual, trippy, strange but also how amazing the music and lyrics sounded to me. I couldn't believe it was recorded in the '60s. I can't imagine how it sounded to people back then. And "Somebody to love"... what at tune! It has such a strange power and Grace's vocals are so energetic. It's one of those songs that I'm sure people will listen to even after another half-a-century and beyond.
Just compare 1962 to 1967. Amazing change! From utter garbage to amazing. Well, outside of Jazz, of course, which was amazing from 1953 to mid 1960's...
Chris Buck THIS was done on PURPOSE by people who HATE ! Hate ms Americans and Christianity . Everything you see and hear is corrupt and it has had a PURPOSE. Ill elaborate if you are interested. Just KNOW that they had a PLAN and they ALL HATE EVERYONE that lives a good moral life.
izz hip Drugs absolutely contributed to the creation of this sound. I should know. I write music myself, and every time I smoke some herb, the pathways to the creative centers of my brain open wide and the emotions, rhythms, and tones that drive the music become so much more vibrant and festive.
Grace was an individual both in talent and personality. Very few can measure up to her. They may have great talent but Grace had an extra "whatever" that put her over the top.
These songs are 2 of the most iconic songs of the 60’s. Amazing!! Dick Clark was an absolute GOD back then too and for many years after. Great times, I wasn’t born until ‘71 but loved this band while growing up and in the ‘80s.
@@crystalberry748 I’m originally from California born and raised in a small town Santa Barbara. I am a White. My mother ancestors came from Ireland and my dads are not traceable as he was adopted when his mother died at birth. I'm currently residing in Key west, Fl 🏝at the moment. I've been here for quite sometime
This was one of the last "Bandstand" episodes taped and broadcast in black-and-white. The show "went color" in September of 1967; it was the last show (apart from some black-and-white reruns and occasional old movies) on network TV to be broadcast in black-and-white.
I was wondering about why this wasn't in "living color." The TV networks started full color broadcasting schedules in the fall 1966 season. The video said June 3, 1967 and that would have been at the end of the 1st full season of color broadcasting. I guess the transition costs for all the different studios took time to get everyone updated to color equipment and production???
I was born June 30th 1967 🙂, from this airing ❤️, I was born during Vietnam😭. Thank You Vietnam Veterans ❤️❤️ for your service and and hard F days in the hole. 😒
I remember the first time I ever heard her.It wasn't back then but much later,on the radio in the 90s.I was a kid and I asked my dad who that was haha.I couldn't forget it.I thought it was the most appealing and yet intimidating voice.It's like a spell! 😳
I was born in 1963 and grew up listening to music more than watching tv. I remember Jefferson Airplane from around 1968 at age 5. I had a teenage sister and brother and they listened to the radio a lot. My brother had a ton of record albums and he had Jefferson Airplane in his collection. It was more fun growing up listening to music than watching tv.
Yes, we all miss him, it's been 5 years since he's been gone from this earth along with Soul Train Conductor Don Cornelius, Family Feud King Richard Dawson, TV Legend Andy Griffith, TV & Movie Legend Ernest Borgnine, George Jefferson Himself Sherman Hemsley, Legendary Comedienne Phyllis Diller, Dallas Star Larry Hagman, 60 Minute Man Mike Wallace and Jack Klugman of The Odd Couple & Quincy M.E. as well as 80's Pop Queen Whitney Houston God Bless'em All and May They All R.I.P.
Dick Clark was a real class act. I'm sure there was some performers on the show whose style of music was not his personal preference. But he gave every band respect and took an interest in their songs and music style.
the summer of love. 1967. That was a pretty good year. (Barely remember it). Such powerful songs by Jefferson Airplane. Dick Clark was such an icon in those days. Glad that clips like this still remain intact to share.
What an Era just so much talent. Grace Slick has such a powerful voice it goes right through your soul. White Rabbit the Ultimate psychedelic song. Doctors are now seeing what drugs in micro doses like DMT are beneficial to the brain making brain neurons grow more studying must be done on it but there is something to it. Rock and Roll lives eternally with these archives. Dick Clark like a teen forever.
My mother had this album, I can't say I liked it. I was too young at the time. Now I can appreciate it, so relevant. We brought Hookahs to Florida to start a lounge like in NY and Las Vegas in early 2000 I was working in the Hookah lounge right up till the pandemic started. Feed your head with goodness.
Beautiful woman, especially in her day. Incredible voice and she has that mysterious presence like Stevie Nicks. She can sing a song like White Rabbit straight up and imprint it perfectly.
A beautiful, powerful voice for sure, but I see no microphones and their instruments are not plugged in. As far as singing straight up, I'd lean towards lip syncing this time out.
I been playing drums for years and never ever thought of drugs. Don't know how drugs and music came about. But oh! When I play to Boston, van Halen, heart it's so much FUN! I get deaf though. 🤭
This song was broadcasted on American Bandstand exactly 2 weeks before I was born. YET, AFTER GRAD SCHOOL just after 911 I moved to California where I met my husband (love of my entire life ❤️) who has passed away but over 10 years ago. We were in our 20s & 30's driving around LA and the San Fran Valley partying our Ass's offten Jefferson these song's playing in background. At the time, I never thought I'd get old! In 3 YEARS ILL BE 60....AND YES I FEEL IT! NO WAY I'll make it to 70 no way!
I remember seeing this aired originally. Thought Grace was so cool just standing there belting out the song, especially the first, White Rabbit. Stone cold. Later in an interview she said she was frozen scared and it took both songs before she started to loosen up. Perceptions. Still, her standing there motionlessly singing with defiant eyes defines cool for me.
I think it was lip synchnd
It sounds just like the album because it is
@@johnjarou2357 It was certainly the album audio. I think that was fairly standard back then.
@@RazielXSR of course, i know that. i'm an old guy too.
Wow wild to picture seeing this as it first aired....would of absolutely blown people’s mind back in the late 60s
Dick Clark was so good at what he did. He never talked down Any artist no matter how different from the "norm" they where at the time.
So true. He's a pro.
Ist das so? In Europa ist er Unbekannt..
@@TLicht-gy2bc most pop comes from Sweden so, no surprise there
Did he ask her name?
@@elevatedtolorance He already knew it. He said, "Hi Grace, can you introduce me to the band".
Dick Clark was pure class. He never spoke ill of any performer
Yeah, I've noticed. The guy was a professional!
He could embarrass his guests though, and himself
Watch his ABBA interview
Many of today’s TV hosts could take some lessons from him.
But why would he???
Dick Clark is truly missed. New Year's Eve has never been quite the same since his passing.
The Jefferson Airplane was one of the most creative psychedelic bands of this era and captivated the attitude and mood of the 1960's generation. This was and still is fabulous sounding music.
Bingo!!!
They ARE the most creative psychedelic band of the boomer era.
Gracie Slick is one of a kind. She takes you on a trip with her vocals & those searing blue eyes of hers that no one else can.

Grace Slick was not only a great singer, she was absolutely beautiful.
Wasn't she first a model?
And she's Super Intelligent!
Morrison hit dat.
In a Manson family kind of way
@Alex B haha available to everyone in other words.
Jack Cassidy was such an inspiration to my bass playing. Precursive, melodic and dynamic, playing to what the songs needed without being obtrusive. Thank you, sir.
Can confirm.
She absolutely kills it, especially in the first song. The band is brilliant, and her voice is at its core.
Looks and sounds to me like they're performing to a backing track, no?
@@JackFou Definitely. Pretty much the rule back then because most television shows simply because they did have the tech to support live performances.
This one could and the Airplane definitely delivered:
ruclips.net/video/Xrpf9J5Fi6U/видео.html
OH yeah, they even managed to play and sing unplugged and without microphones!!! 😂
Clearly not live lol... the base player has all the cords wrapped around him.
Its a lip sync. Jeezus. She doesn't even have a mic.
How she could hold those notes and stay on key for that long, in and of itself, is amazing! But to make it look so effortless....is ....true talent.
Grace was a force to be reckoned with - the voice, her good looks, those eyes
And that killing smile 😊
She had it all
Those Eyes...Elizabeth Taylor had nothing on her.
She had that witchy thing down way before Stevie Nicks came along.
@@LS-ki9ft yes minus the twirling. Grace stood still like a good looking menace.

Saw them perform at Fillmore West winter of 68. Her voice sent shivers up and down your spine. Wow!!

What about the acid? All the older heads say the lsd today is way different from the 60’s
Still does!!
She has an amazing voice doesn't she

There are some good versions on RUclips -- and they are actually live, not faked.

This is a good clip mainly because of the American Bandstand intro.
Such a powerful voice. Great band, great songs.

Grace Slick had a great voice. I wanted to grow up to be like her. Unfortunately, I can't carry a tune if I had a basket.
well, you could have performed this on TV, because they didn't sing or play the instruments, it's just mimed.
She didn’t age well.
Ya she did.. She looks alright for someone pushing 80..
It’s a talent. One I don’t have either
autohmae that’s now, not then. It was real, if the fukd up it was on tape. Might be they spliced the tape after the fact.... or they did a retake at the time.
That walking bass line in “Somebody to Love” is so badass I can’t stop listening to it 🙃🙃
Phenomenal work on the bass by Casady.
Fuckin A! I play guitar and started on bass, and when you hear the driving bass lines they stick out so much!
Notice the bassist had cables thrown over his instrument though.
And this was at a time when bass didn't function as an instrument, just part of the rhythm section.
Jack an absolute pile driver here!
Two incredible songs by Jefferson Airplane. Still timeless.
Grace Slick..one of the best female voices in rock...PERIOD!
I agree
Easy on the eyes also.

God does this take me back to a place, that perhaps I do not want to go to, but must, just drawn back. Thanks Gracie!
I love how Jack has the power cord wrapped around the neck of the bass to emphasize how the music is canned.
I often wondered how they sound just like the record in TV without a mic but sound way different live lols.
Oh!!!
"Canned"? What do you mean by that? I'm kinda slow sometimes. Lol
Not "canned"...... original.

Gregory Eatroff He could do that oN TV, it was the 60'ies man.
I was going through the comments to see if anyone else noticed the "Air Doobie"... Nice catch...
She's got a crazy powerful voice!
2024 and still listening. Groovy baby..✌️🍄🍄🍄
Grace Slick’s vibrato gave her one of the greatest voices of the 20th Century.
The power of that voice carried this band through those first years.
I still, after fifty years, get goose bumps when I hear her sing "Somebody to Love"!
Me too!
I AM your girlfriend. lol
I was going to same the same thing! Every time!!!
@mike hutchison That sounds amazing
Damn! this is music!!
What a voice Grace had . When I was young in the 60S we called her The Acid Queen, or The Chrome Nun .
the bassline, the jangle of the guitar, that voice, that look! damn what an amazing performance
I was born in '70, and I still say...'White Rabbit' is CLASSIC!
I love Grace Slicks Vibrato....its incredible.....I have no idea how she hits those notes with such power and perfection!
Grace Slick was not only a gifted performer, she was just absolutely beautiful.
Thank you Matrix ❤️ for introducing this legend to us
The bar where they first appeared in '65, or the movie?
If you like this you should look up their Woodstock performance
Sad day for you..
Ive heard this song for a long time, particularly when stranger things first premiered
Love the challenge in her gaze

Grace Slick also gave as good as he got with Canadian Journalist Jan Wong when Jan asked he about her past Addictions and Grace refused explaining that there was an Anonymous in Alcoholics Anonymous because you were given a code of silence.
Megan Joyce Her voice is kind of mediocre. Technically she's a disaster. The vibrato is forced and doesn't come naturally to her. It does fit with the music though.
+azynkron and people are still listening to her 30 some fucking odd years later. couldn't be that bad.
+azynkron The world is full of technically gifted singers who never made an impact. Grace is a giant. You could never confuse her voice with someone else's. That is "where it's at."
+azynkron Simon Cowell, is that you?
This is my moms era wow so cool, I’m fortunate to still enjoy her with us my mom my best friend 😊
Grace was with a band called The Great Society before JA and recorded both White Rabbit and Somebody to Love with them.
Sing it Gracie! One of the greatest vocalists of our time.
It never fails to completely just make my brain melt when Grace’s voice dips when she says “Your mind, your mind...”. Fucking sensational.
GREAT BAND. I'll love them until the day I die. Grace Slick. Such a powerful voice coming from that little girls mouth. TRUE LOVE.
Always loved Grace Slick's voice.
Had a cat called Grace Slick and a dog Noosha Fox
One of the best female rock vocalists of all time. It's too bad that her addictions ruined her career
Esra Blu I thought it was that she quit because she was going to have a child.
Not cool, dunbar. What if she has kids?
I was 12 during the Summer of Love. Grace Slick was so alluring. At 80 Grace still is. Watching them " put on" Dick Clark and American Bandstand is still trippy. They didn't even bother to try to lip sync. The teeny boppers were clueless to what was coming across their universe in psychedelic colors.
Happy 80th Grace Slick!
Havent seen an old Dick Clark. I watched him every Saturday. RIP
Amazing how they pulled off that performance without one guitar plugged in and no microphone. And then made it sound exactly like the record...AMAZING!!!👏👏👏
@rockthesix1679 That’s how is was back in the day. It just wasn’t done that way. It was a different era, the Hippie era. Lot’s of social change happening. But let me tell you something, they were f’n INCREDIBLE in concert. Grace is one of “the” premier female voices in Rock history. How you heard her voice in the clip is exactly what you got in concert. They started in 1965 and went on until @72/73. They parted, but in 74 regrouped as Jefferson Starship and continued on, having multiple hits, through the mid 80’s. She is 84 now 😮😳😵💫!!
Vi amerikanci ste tih godina imali pristup LSD legalno i napravili novi talas rocka što je za pohvalu..... A droge su sranje realno mutna slika realnosti
Wow.
Troll lol lol they miked their work for sure 100%
Yah a lot of these are back tracks of the instrumentals at min and sometimes either a back track play and live vocals or lip synched. You can tell all guitars are working lol.
Dick Clarke was a total gentleman during the quick outro interview.
Yes INDEED and that's why he lasted so long especially on American Bandstand
God Bless His Soul
@@tnawcwvictoria RIP Dick Clark.🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹1111. Passed the baton to Ryan.
Yeah, he had to improv with live TV and was smooth at it. It's so easy to fuck up if the host is nervous.
Those days when music shows were hosted by adults! ;-)
@@michaeldewerd4709 These days most people get there music from utube, MTV and various streams. In Britain cirtainly there was more emerging rock on TV in the 60s than now.Its a myth that it was never aired.But we should,at least, be greatfull to utube for showing us something that,by and large, we don't have anymore
Remember this song well; one of my very favorite!
Great musicians...Never realized how bad ass the bass is on these two cuts.. or anything Jack Cassady plays...1967 was one of the best years for recorded music !!!!
Glen Carta say it again
HEY GLEN, YOU KNOW YOUR MUSIC. THE BASS WAS THE ACE OF ANY HOOD BAND.
Classic music.From a different Era. Time capsule.
Far exceeds what is called music today
Grace Slick Baby!!!!...that haunting voice ...man u got to love it!!!.Groovy!!
I wasn't even born when these songs dropped.. but as a music producer... Got damn, got damn wish I was!!!!
Songs don't "drop". Hipster speak.
I think i've listened to White Rabbit in 2006 for the first time. I remember how unusual, trippy, strange but also how amazing the music and lyrics sounded to me. I couldn't believe it was recorded in the '60s. I can't imagine how it sounded to people back then. And "Somebody to love"... what at tune! It has such a strange power and Grace's vocals are so energetic. It's one of those songs that I'm sure people will listen to even after another half-a-century and beyond.
I saw this when it was broadcast, I was almost 11,it was awesome
Grace Slick and The Lizard King so much intensity....these 2 artiste...their voices are incredible....the 60s baby....Groovy Man!!!...Peace!!!
When you look at something only 10 years earlier in 1957 and then this its mind boggling the change in the music
Just compare 1962 to 1967. Amazing change! From utter garbage to amazing. Well, outside of Jazz, of course, which was amazing from 1953 to mid 1960's...
They were experimenting with drugs. That is what happened.
Chris Buck THIS was done on PURPOSE by people who HATE ! Hate ms Americans and Christianity . Everything you see and hear is corrupt and it has had a PURPOSE. Ill elaborate if you are interested. Just KNOW that they had a PLAN and they ALL HATE EVERYONE that lives a good moral life.
Anne C no That's not WHY. DRUGS were ONLY for thier hedonism.
izz hip
Drugs absolutely contributed to the creation of this sound. I should know. I write music myself, and every time I smoke some herb, the pathways to the creative centers of my brain open wide and the emotions, rhythms, and tones that drive the music become so much more vibrant and festive.
Grace was an individual both in talent and personality. Very few can measure up to her. They may have great talent but Grace had an extra "whatever" that put her over the top.
These songs are 2 of the most iconic songs of the 60’s. Amazing!! Dick Clark was an absolute GOD back then too and for many years after. Great times, I wasn’t born until ‘71 but loved this band while growing up and in the ‘80s.
I wasn't born in this era i came about 19 years later but I would have love to been on American band stand and watched all the great performances.
Hello how are you doing ?
@@pollackmorgan3149 I'm doing well how are you
@@crystalberry748 I'm doing great where are you from if I may ask?
@@pollackmorgan3149 in from North Carolina where are you from
@@crystalberry748 I’m originally from California born and raised in a small town Santa Barbara.
I am a White. My mother ancestors came from Ireland and my dads are not traceable as he was adopted when his mother died at birth. I'm currently residing in Key west, Fl 🏝at the moment. I've been here for quite sometime
Surrealistic Pillow, Sgt. Peppers Lonely hearts Club band, and the Doors by the Doors were the top albums of that magical summer.
Don't forget Are You Experienced by The Jimi Hendrix Experience :)
pete chau and piper at the gates of down de Pink Floyd... 1967-68...
1967 was an unreal year for music. I can't even imagine how it felt to be alive when all those legendary albums were dropping!
pete chau
No different than listening to it now
Yes. It was called the Summer of Love. And I'm lucky enough to still have the original LPs all in good condition...
anything u rabbiT!!!?...inyourmymind!!!gorgeous singer & great band!!!i miss!!!thx for upload!!!
Powerful voice on Grace Slick. Beautiful.
This guys is an excellent host and very articulate. The group, a classic.
Love the lava lamp! Lived near the factory in Chicago in the late '70s early '80s
The music was great, but a big shout out to Dick Clark who did a nice job.
This was one of the last "Bandstand" episodes taped and broadcast in black-and-white.
The show "went color" in September of 1967; it was the last show (apart from some black-and-white reruns and occasional old movies) on network TV to be broadcast in black-and-white.
I was wondering about why this wasn't in "living color." The TV networks started full color broadcasting schedules in the fall 1966 season. The video said June 3, 1967 and that would have been at the end of the 1st full season of color broadcasting. I guess the transition costs for all the different studios took time to get everyone updated to color equipment and production???
at least in the USA
Feeling groovy. Still marvelous songs. Regretfully, San Francisco is going down hill. Finally saw Haight Ashbury in April 88
The Voice that Launched a Thousand Trips. No one will ever be better than Grace.
Depends what you call better. She had a loud, clear beautiful voice but l like the Airplane before her!!!!
MILLIONS, COUNTLESS.
Eduardo Venegas Janis and Summertime...still weep
And Jorma’s sound..
The bassist with that hoodie and the hood up is WAY ahead of his time. That's awesome.
I was born June 30th 1967 🙂, from this airing ❤️, I was born during Vietnam😭. Thank You Vietnam Veterans ❤️❤️ for your service and and hard F days in the hole. 😒
I truly mean with my heart & soul ❤️
❤️ Thank you
I remember the first time I ever heard her.It wasn't back then but much later,on the radio in the 90s.I was a kid and I asked my dad who that was haha.I couldn't forget it.I thought it was the most appealing and yet intimidating voice.It's like a spell! 😳
Hello how are you doing ?
Grace is 28 in here, so artsy but not too extreme. Legend lady
I was born in 1963 and grew up listening to music more than watching tv. I remember Jefferson Airplane from around 1968 at age 5. I had a teenage sister and brother and they listened to the radio a lot. My brother had a ton of record albums and he had Jefferson Airplane in his collection. It was more fun growing up listening to music than watching tv.
The visuals are amazing! Felt very much like Old Grey Whistle Test. Trippy and minimalist at the same time
Agreed! 👍 And those lava lamp cutscenes really add to the effect imo!
Every time I see Dick Clark I get choked up. I miss him a lot.
Yes, we all miss him, it's been 5 years since he's been gone from this earth along with Soul Train Conductor Don Cornelius, Family Feud King Richard Dawson, TV Legend Andy Griffith, TV & Movie Legend Ernest Borgnine, George Jefferson Himself Sherman Hemsley, Legendary Comedienne Phyllis Diller, Dallas Star Larry Hagman, 60 Minute Man Mike Wallace and Jack Klugman of The Odd Couple & Quincy M.E. as well as 80's Pop Queen Whitney Houston
God Bless'em All and May They All R.I.P.
yeah
i really got pissed off at that idiot michael moore for sideswiping the poor guy
RIP Mr Clark
@ahumanstain Yes, I did. Through an uncle.
Dick Clark was a real class act. I'm sure there was some performers on the show whose style of music was not his personal preference. But he gave every band respect and took an interest in their songs and music style.
the summer of love. 1967. That was a pretty good year. (Barely remember it). Such powerful songs by Jefferson Airplane. Dick Clark was such an icon in those days. Glad that clips like this still remain intact to share.
1968 -
.
What an Era just so much talent. Grace Slick has such a powerful voice it goes right through your soul. White Rabbit the Ultimate psychedelic song. Doctors are now seeing what drugs in micro doses like DMT are beneficial to the brain making brain neurons grow more studying must be done on it but there is something to it. Rock and Roll lives eternally with these archives. Dick Clark like a teen forever.
My mother had this album, I can't say I liked it. I was too young at the time. Now I can appreciate it, so relevant. We brought Hookahs to Florida to start a lounge like in NY and Las Vegas in early 2000 I was working in the Hookah lounge right up till the pandemic started. Feed your head with goodness.
Beautiful woman, especially in her day. Incredible voice and she has that mysterious presence like Stevie Nicks. She can sing a song like White Rabbit straight up and imprint it perfectly.
Grace had a smooth beautiful strong voice.
Brooke Hanley Indeed!,She sure has alright!
A beautiful, powerful voice for sure, but I see no microphones and their instruments are not plugged in. As far as singing straight up, I'd lean towards lip syncing this time out.
Fred C Grace and Stevie definitely were mysterious women and still are!
Grace Slick laid the ground work for future women rockers like Stevie Nicks and Ann Wilson.
Two songs I love. Huge fan. And I'm a 90s boy!.........Nice!
WooooohH! I've never been high, but I think it would be as amazing as this song!!!
I been playing drums for years and never ever thought of drugs. Don't know how drugs and music came about. But oh! When I play to Boston, van Halen, heart it's so much FUN! I get deaf though. 🤭
Great song, great group and...what a fantastic voice !!
I love these songs, they are some of my all time favorites. But this also made me relies just how damn good Dick Clark was.
This song was broadcasted on American Bandstand exactly 2 weeks before I was born. YET, AFTER GRAD SCHOOL just after 911 I moved to California where I met my husband (love of my entire life ❤️) who has passed away but over 10 years ago. We were in our 20s & 30's driving around LA and the San Fran Valley partying our Ass's offten Jefferson these song's playing in background. At the time, I never thought I'd get old! In 3 YEARS ILL BE 60....AND YES I FEEL IT! NO WAY I'll make it to 70 no way!
I love it!! Long live rock and roll, Grace Slick kills it!!!!
