It’s very unfortunate that it’s pretty hard to find a ton of good Airplane live videos that aren’t just lip synced TV performances. From what you can find they were incredible. Would love to actually see this one “live”
@@raymondpierotti8414 I really appears to be. EVERY lick on the video is identical to what was on the recording. Airplane didn't do that - every performance was unique. At 3:21 on the video Jorma is playing some rapid pull offs while the audio has him doing some slow bends.
@@EvilSkeptic Yes and no. In their time, Jefferson Airplane received a lot of attention. They were recognized in certain circles as musical, but also cultural leaders. Look at the devotion of the counterculture rank and file, first issues of Rolling Stone, the reviews (and book) of jazz critic Ralph J. Gleason, and the attentions of late night television hosts. The band shattering in different directions, followed by lessening intensity, and a dialed-down Jefferson Starship just didn't really have the sound. The Airplane was like a reverse supergroup appearing from nowhere, leading with intensity, then dividing into spawn. That kind of intensity (just look them here, and listen to them) is difficult to sustain.

The Airplane supported artists, one notable endeavor a very trippy old-time radio show. Most importantly, the break-up of JA fractured the core "sound".

For one for whom each note is permanently seared into their cellular and molecular structure, that discovery is automatic.
Jack Casady is absolutely my favorite bass player of all time… And not just because I happen to own one of his signature basses - signed after a Hot Tuna show! Awesome tone on this song…
His bass really propels the song foward-esp when it kicks in at the beginning. Like this a lot, but this sounds very, very close to the version I have on my flight log cd and I don’t see any evidence of a live audience-so I assume this is playing to the recording.
@@jaykeehan5813 Yes, this is obviously lip-synched from the album version on Crown of Creation… Apparently included in Flight Log as well. But it is pretty cool seeing the band at this particular stage -
@Chakra #5 Sad, but no mistake in the long run. I saw him in Eugene with New Riders (71?). Spencer was so drunk/loaded he fell backwards, almost off the stage. It was hard to watch.

I borrowed the album Crown Of Creation at our library at that time because it had a nice cover. I was thirteen years old and it changed my life completely. It is still my all time favorite album.
One of the things I miss about vinyl is the covers. I found a lot of great music just because the cover looked so cool. Lookin' in by Savoy Brown is a great example. I never heard of them.

I’m pretty sure it’s the record dubbed over the performance . It does bring back memories for me. Seen them many times (including when we all got tear-gassed at the Akron (Ohio) Rubber Bowl
Watching this video right now Is truly amazing to me This band it’s hitting on all cylinders with the perfect mixture in the carburetor of gasoline So kool 🌟🎸🥁🌟
Really need a sound system with some real bottom to appreciate Jack's sublime Bass. He was the reason I went to their shows back in the day. He carried it a lot of the time, IMHO.
That's really cool, I saw them up in Pioneer Town in the desert near Joshua Tree! They love their fans and I got a picture with Jorma!! He took the time to sign an album cover for me too. 👍😁
Jealous? Where'd ya come up with that bizarre notion? They were huge FANS of each other. Best one-two vocal combination in R&R history. I've been following the Airplane for over 50 years and I've never heard that before. What's yer source?
@@davidowens5898 in multiple documentaries, I suggest the one from ‘89, from the Behind The Music series, where they all were interviewed. Marty and Grace actually had a lot of bad blood between the two because Grace had often taken a lot of the credit from Marty. Of course, time sort of healed that :).
The coolness of the drummer playing is, well, cool. I wasnt born till 1969 yet love JA. Also the Doors, Tim Buckley, Janice Joplin. Mammas and Pappas. Such a fabulous time to be alive. I somehow feel incredibly connected to this era even though I was born at the near end of it.
My suspicion is one (or both) of yer parents had a lot to do with your superb musical taste! Good for you dawg! I exposed both of my kids to the music of my youth. They too, have EXCELLENT taste in music.
I wanted to be just like Jack. So cool and Martys voice. So many people thought it was all about Grace and I loved her in the band, but they were so much more. I was lucky enough to see them in Corvallis when I was sixteen …. I think! 😂
I was thinking this sounded just like the recorded version, and I see that others say it is. In that case, great synching of video and record. This band does not get the widespread adoration they deserve. Nobody else like the Airplane!
If only all Jefferson Airplane footage was of this quality, including getting right up close like this. Adds to the intensity of their music that was there all along.
You want to see the real Grace, watch the Altamount Footage. For all he brashness she is terrified of the Hell's Angels, and the group not defending Marty who did try to act is probably why he was the first to leave, followed quickly by Spencer.
Well, the only survivors are Grace, Jack, and Jorma, so it's highly unlikely! I'm pretty sure Grace turned 83 on her last birthday and J&J are just a few years younger.
j0eX You never know, they toured Europe with The Doors. I also thought it was strange, first time I’ve seen Jorma with an SG. I love SGs and prefer them for JA style music more than a LP when I don’t feel like and ES-335 that is. Haha.
My Goodness...I was going to comment again on something that I did 6 months ago. I am getting OLD! I LOVE this Frikkin" Band more than life itself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A < KILLER > Video combined over 50 Years later, very well done, a great gift to all the real Fans of this great Group witch also was a REVOLUTION in Sight and Seen........E-N-J-O-Y ! Greetings from Switzerland
For some reason I incorrectly remembered the chorus as 'great China laughing' instead of break china laughing. Probably a couple of them had too much acid and gleefully broke all the dinnerware in a food fight; leading to a Marty Balin song the next morning after the party was over. Crown of Creation is one of my favorite albums. I never heard the original JA live but I covered several of their songs on acoustic guitar at open mics. Saw a version of Jefferson Starship in about 1975-76 at University of MIssouri while they were touring. And of course have seen Hot Tuna a couple of times.
Airplane was the most unique Ameican rock band - two lead singers, the best bass player ever and leaders of the underground counter-culture while still pulling in big crowds.
There were three lead singers (don't leave out Kantner). The Airplane were really two groups in one. A tight musical core of Kaukonen, Casady and Dryden, and the three singers. When they worked together they were magic, when they turned on each other they fell apart. Theworst thing Casady and Kaukonen did was not bring Spenser into Hot Tuna. They were trying to become a jam band, and he was too subtle, so they brought in Joey, who ruined everything he touched.
everyone puts in their two cents - even up to the 90s artists had to lipsync on tv, they weren't allowed to do true live. also weird comments are open, most other official channel comments are closed. cheers guys, awesome music
Not true -- there are live versions of Crown of Creation from the Smothers Brothers Show & the Ed Sullivan Show. Also from the Smothers Brothers is a video of Grace singing live vocals to the album recording of the instrumental, while everyone else in the band does comical air guitar. Unfortunately, the video of Lather from the SB is completely lip-synched -- not sure why they did that . . . .
God love you Jefferson Airplane💪🏻💪🏻 A time of innocence evolving into awakening to up against the wall mother!! You were the catalyst!! Love you so much!!!😎
@ this very point in time you can tell how much fun Grace is having as she had moved up to a professional group from the group she was headlining prior to the Airplane, The Great Society.
I question if this audio is live with this song. The performance is live of course but the audio is the studio sadly. JA rarely played a track identical to the studio version. Somebody to Love was very close to the studio version in early live shows then altered. White Rabbit remains kinda the same until JS did it in the 70s totally different in the intro but the core stayed the same. Not much you can change with that due to the Bolero theme.
It's the studio track verbatim. Yes, it's a 'live' performance on a stage, but not to a 'live' audience. Grace and Jack both pull little stunts that let the cat out of the bag.
plyback, so evident in several moments. They wasn't so professional as actual musicians, that are able to play perfectly in playback :-)...better than live, sometimes....
Yeah, the words to this are just so searing. It's hot. I remember when we were teenagers and we heard this song. We got really high and went to somebody's house, don't know whose, and smashed every glass and plate we could find. It was weirdly exhilarating.
I'm surprised that nobody has commented that the soundtrack here is the studio version of the song synched up to a video of them playing live. Wish this had the original live soundtrack!
One month before RFK was shot. The world was due to change but the Airplane was incendiary and Grace was ravishing. The best and the worst. Living taoism.
This is not Hamburg, they performed in the Musikhalle which looks a lot different. The sound is the overdubbed recording, not an original soundtrack of the video.
OMG - this is the holy grail for Airplane fanatics . Historic . Legends of Psychedelia .

The ones in concert are genuine. The ones on TV shows are much more likely to be lip-synched. The Smothers Brothers appearance is one of the worst.
For the record, this one is not lip synched.
I saw the Airplane live. Still peaking.

I have pretty much the same story, though I may have been fourteen. That was in London.

I bought the album just for the cover. Then realized it was Foghat with a different lead guitar player, and better songs.
I've been on a Crown Of Creation kick this week. Been listening to it a lot.

What a hit... So psychedelic 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
What a fucking amazing band, can't get enough of them.
Great upload! The quality is delightful. And Jack's bass is killer.

"Make love flyin'." That sums up the hippie ideal.
One of my favorite Jefferson Airplane songs. It's from "After Bathing at Baxters", which is my favorite album by them.
I can't believe I'm just now seeing this?! Everyone looks & sounds SO Great!!
Love Jack Casady's stage manner. The epitome of kooll !
One time I tried to tease Jack and yelled that he should sing. He simply played a chord and mimicked singing. He still is cool.
💯
May not be live but still fun to see them back then.
i wondered if someone would notice that this is clearly a lip sync. they weren't likely to produce a record perfectly live. not that kind of band
Well it's a good lip-sync!
This is incredible, from '68. Really good quality of an excellent performance.
Im 26 and this is better than any music now. So that kinda sucks for us all I guess..
Outstanding. Yes. Anything more would be appreciated. Crown of Creation!
