Oh yeah? well I spoke to her over the radio on KFRC in San Francisco in 2000, and refuted her claim in an earlier magazine interview that "....nobody wants to f*ck an old woman". But, locking eyes with her, those eyes, that woman.....I think we've got a tie here.
When it comes to Jefferson Airplane, I just have to say thank you Grace Slick. Your music,your words helped me get through some hard times while I was in the Army.
My uncle was kia in SouthVietnams Central Highlands mid-3/1968, tail end of TET, 10days B-4 my 11th bday near Pleiku. also knew dudes sent there as early as late Summer 65 til 1969, the last one came home by late 1971!
In the summer of 1967 my friend and I had a job cleaning up his grandfather's theatre which had suffered minor fire damage. We created a major scandal in a small town in Northern MN when we found enough letters to put a sign on the marquee - "Seek White Rabbits". The cops made us take it down.
2>: So glad I was just a baby during Woodstock documentaries on the news, which I was mercilessly dragged away from by my loving parents. lolololol...really, no offense. It was crazy times, but oh so divine in a lot of ways :-D Thanks for posting, ma-a-a-a-an! Much respect to you and those who made it through the era...really. I'm one of them :-)
LOL....I can remember watching this tv program and my grandmother was in the room too, and she said, "My God, that looks like something they show crazy people!"..LOL..well when you are right..
Grace Slick undoubtedly was one of the greatest singer's in the hard rock era. Not only was she beautiful but her voice was so strong and powerful it would just blow your mine.
psychedelic music or hippie music or you could call it pop like the Beatles were known as pop music in the sixties i dunno but it aint hard rock i can tell you that for free i was active in the 60's anyway i wouldn't remember a thing apart from the music and the experiences
The song White Rabbit made Grace a STAR and revived the sales of hookah pipes over night. The song Somebody to Love was written by Darby Slick, Grace's brother-in-law when they were members of the band The Great! Society.
The Jefferplane...were the American Beatles..they could no wrong and this as there best TV show appeareance with the best light show and best improve vocals as from Grace Slick et, al..
WHAT A VOICE! Gracie is one of my favorite female rock singers of all time! Such talent in this great band from our past!!!! This is what music is all about!
dampen damp that’s probably due to her choosing to stay out of the public eye, if she had chose to continue with her career, write more books, maybe produce a few songs, or even have a social media account she would most likely still be incredibly famous. Notice how from 2005-2013 no one really talked much about Bowie, then he released a new album and people went crazy. Same with grace.
dampen damp: Her appearance at Woodstock and in concerts says it all.... She doesn't need a title or recognition when her experience speaks for itself.
Jefferson Airplane fucked Gracie out Of Her Award It was Gracie's voice That made Jefferson Air plane ! This is Bull Shit ! Gracie Deservers Better Than THIS shit !
FYI...A Jefferson Airplane was a roach clip...Anyway....Gracie and Janis...Two voices from heaven....But Gracie had that certain whatever...Watching her in concert was an acid trip without the acid....Or with the acid...Whatever...Peace and Tranquility
I remember Mom giving a cola to me from a black men's bar AND I was to give the another to my brother. I ended up in hospital and she told me that what happened was that a hairy caterpillar went down my shirt on my back. "smokin' caterpillar". Everyone called her "mom" . . . she was NOT welcome at St. Andrew's Church on Christmas Eve. Your children would NOT be safe. I never was. Everyone loved her.
Those were the days, man. Popular music was powerful and poetic and revolutionary... This should play at least twice a day in every radio station worldwide
Beautiful vocals, clearly done to instrumental backing track. Who knew the engineers at that time thought that through. ! Great stuff. Grace Slick was the greatest female rock voice of all time. She has no equals. Everything in the last 20 years is so processed.
I can't believe what memories this brought back!! Fillmore on Friday nights and the best music . Not to mention the light shows and other"stuff". Those were the times -beleive or not Kids this is your granma speaking -you didn't invent it all -we lived it waaay back then!
The legendary Jefferson Airplane with the fantastic Grace Slick.....what a strong and powerful voice. Psychodelic colours......who needs LSD, this is a trip......clear and beautifully performed. I remember these days....the days of remarkable artists that are still shaking the tree of the world with their music to this very day.
I saw Jorma Koukanan in Lincoln, Nebraska at a place called The Drumstick, either late 70s or very early 80s. He did a solo act on his guitar. It was so loud it almost hurt my ears. He played or an hour and a half and never spoke once. A pretty dramatic evening indeed. He came from some other planet I'm pretty sure.
Thank you Dick and Tom for bucking CBS and presenting uncensored music to the masses.And for political jokes that surely rankled brass/advertisers at CBS.
OMG! Smoothers Brothers!! I forgot about them!! Oh... and I trully love this song and her voice makes this song rush thru my blood like soldiers on a mission to my heart and soul... RLM
I remember watching this live on TV. I was 16 at the time. Great performance of "Somebody to love". Another great song that came out at the same time was "Don't walk away Rene" by the Left Bank. Ah what memories, great music and great times.
khloudzjia said it best--I was in SF in those daze (born there)..music was the greatest! loved the SmosBros also..It WAS the best place to be, thanx for posting!
If you can not find good music you are not looking. I loved the 60's but somedays I get tired listening to all the classic stations. So I searched and I found great new music.
The 60's was the best time for rock & roll. It was a magical time as far as music goes. I thought the 80's was the worst and today, rock is almost extinct.
Thank you. This is wonderfully iconic. Is there anyone else out there who remembers watching this episode of the The Somother's Brother's Show? It looks so cheesy now, but looking back... ahhhhh we all were so hopeful and progressive thinking, what the ????? happened?
The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour was the coolest thing on TV in the late '60s -- Sunday nights on CBS, back when there were just three networks. Of course, the most un-hip people didn't see this -- they were tuned in to "Bonanza" on NBC.
I grew up on San Fran.... by 1968 the only local band I was into was Quicksilver Messenger Service, and they didn't last all that long either. John Cippolina is long gone too. Oh well!
I remember looking up this song twenty years later. I couldn't think of the name to the song, so I told the D.J. Feed your head, and he played the song...
Cute girl-Grace. Saw them in 85' Spring break South Padre (yes, had to do Spring break at least once). Almost fifty now and two marriages behind me and two kids (with the first one) I still yearn for somebody to love.
@vsop333 you have never been so right i listened to The Jefferson Airplanes when i was a kid and these two songs were the only ones i listen to through out middle school and college
I don't ever recall seeing this. The audio quality is great, considering the technology at the time. I think I was about 12, and this was maybe the third or fourth album I ever owned. I still have the original pressing to this day.
They appeared again on the Smothers Brothers 3 weeks later on May 28, 1967 under a different name ("The Association"), after the acid trip ended. Check it out.
Jesus, her voice is SO POWERFUL.
Don't take God's name in vain
@cryptonox
Jesus is not the name of God. Try Jehovah.
Jesus is the Son of Jehovah God.
PERIOD
@@Cryptinox Christ, don’t be so touchy
1973 in Sacramento, CA, 2nd row and saw Jefferson Airplane and locked eyes with Grace Slick during singing of this song...what a wonderful day!
Lucky bastard lol
Oh yeah? well I spoke to her over the radio on KFRC in San Francisco in 2000, and refuted her claim in an earlier magazine interview that "....nobody wants to f*ck an old woman". But, locking eyes with her, those eyes, that woman.....I think we've got a tie here.

"One pill makes you larger...one pill makes you small..." I love this song more than words can explain.
I love how she doesn't have to do any crazy runs or hit super high notes to impress people. Her voice is just beautiful and powerful plain and simple
The bands, today, are not as great as the bands from the 60s and 70s. The bands, like Jefferson Airplane, are gone but they will never be forgotten!
Still a mind blowing band and song, which epitomizes the liberated, innovating optimism of Haight Ashbury in 1966-7.
These two songs are one of the best simbols of the 60's.
I really love it.
In the summer of 1967 my friend and I had a job cleaning up his grandfather's theatre which had suffered minor fire damage. We created a major scandal in a small town in Northern MN when we found enough letters to put a sign on the marquee - "Seek White Rabbits". The cops made us take it down.
+steve baker Haha. Awesome story.
1967 must’ve been fabulous.
Grace's voice is still amazing, and vastly underrated. So powerful!
Fabulous! I had this album and played it all the time. Sometimes I feel really nostalgic for the music of that era.
Hi Meg

Hi Adriana
Grace - every inch a Queen!
My sister! Period!
LOL....I can remember watching this tv program and my grandmother was in the room too, and she said, "My God, that looks like something they show crazy people!"..LOL..well when you are right..
First heard this album in Saigon in 68, Wow! Did this wake me up. Great memories. Thanks Grace.
Grace Slick is an amazing artist,singer/songwriter and is an insiration to all female vocalists.
Grace Slick undoubtedly was one of the greatest singer's in the hard rock era. Not only was she beautiful but her voice was so strong and powerful it would just blow your mine.
+Milton Williams .it aint hard rock seriously
+Nathan Sciarone Would it have been called acid rock?
psychedelic music or hippie music or you could call it pop like the Beatles were known as pop music in the sixties i dunno but it aint hard rock i can tell you that for free i was active in the 60's anyway i wouldn't remember a thing apart from the music and the experiences
Jefferson Airplane is so refreshing to listen to after a hard day of savage rocking! What a fantastic look back in musical history!
Far FUCKING out!!!!! Remember this like it was yesterday. Wait, wasn't it?
Yes,yes it was. :)
Loved you then Grace and I still do, peace sweatheart.
J
Two powerful songs that made a huge cultural impact .
I just smoked my first banana listening to this!
Far out, man.
The song White Rabbit made Grace a STAR and revived the sales of hookah pipes over night. The song Somebody to Love was written by Darby Slick, Grace's brother-in-law when they were members of the band The Great! Society.
Saw them in Birmingham, Alabama, mid sixties, the greatest music decade, ever!
The Jefferplane...were the American Beatles..they could no wrong and this as there best TV show appeareance with the best light show and best improve vocals as from Grace Slick et, al..
I just injected 3 whole Marijuanas...
ROFL
+The War Doctor No doubt this man overdosed from all those Marijuanas and died.
nobody gives a rats azz.
WHAT A VOICE! Gracie is one of my favorite female rock singers of all time! Such talent in this great band from our past!!!! This is what music is all about!
My Chemistry teacher told me she met the lead singer ,I guess she must have been tripping balls when she was young
I came here after the horror of "We Built This City" to cleanse my ears. It worked.
I missed that show 50 yrs ago, thanks for the repeat, Mel
when I was young we didn't have a color tv so I had to do drugs to see all the colors.
I enjoyed the talk show hosts comments. Hey banana fans!
Those beautiful eyes of hers, I feel like they are looking right at my soul
classic acid
Yeah. And marijuana : )
Good stuff, back when you could actually understand the words they sang.
wari223 well said without disrespectful.
Jefferson starship
Y
Grace, the definition of Legendary!
now this is true music...
FEEDING THE HEAD!
Grace was the first lady of hard rock but gets no credit for it.
dampen damp that’s probably due to her choosing to stay out of the public eye, if she had chose to continue with her career, write more books, maybe produce a few songs, or even have a social media account she would most likely still be incredibly famous.

Jefferson Airplane fucked Gracie out Of Her Award It was Gracie's voice That made Jefferson Air plane ! This is Bull Shit ! Gracie Deservers Better Than THIS shit !
And still people think that Alice in wonderland is a child story.
Love Jefferson Airplane since Woodstock I was 14 years old.
Hi Ines
FYI...A Jefferson Airplane was a roach clip...Anyway....Gracie and Janis...Two voices from heaven....But Gracie had that certain whatever...Watching her in concert was an acid trip without the acid....Or with the acid...Whatever...Peace and Tranquility
Didn't know about the roach clip... Grace & Janis. :-)
What does "feed your head" mean?
Time to get 'high'
heed your head. like watch out for your head.
mash gee
feed for God's sake. feed you head - keep getting higher and higher. just watch how you mix the uppers and the downers.
I am 55...man I miss this music....SOOO glad I got to live during this time!!
Music just seemed SO RAW!!
Or just drop a tab
Feed your head.
:-D
Bad ass tune man. It will never, ever be topped. Never gets old….can hear over and over again.
I remember Mom giving a cola to me from a black men's bar AND I was to give the another to my brother.

Everyone called her "mom" . . . she was NOT welcome at St. Andrew's Church on Christmas Eve. Your children would NOT be safe. I never was. Everyone loved her.
what?
I loved singing Somebody To Love at my concert. Such a challenging great song.
Those were the days, man. Popular music was powerful and poetic and revolutionary... This should play at least twice a day in every radio station worldwide
THANK YOU SURVIVOR! Something not many received coming home in the 60's, 70's
Airplane was the Iconic group to get a buzz on with. Their music had the sound.
Beautiful vocals, clearly done to instrumental backing track. Who knew the engineers at that time thought that through. ! Great stuff. Grace Slick was the greatest female rock voice of all time. She has no equals. Everything in the last 20 years is so processed.
I can't believe what memories this brought back!! Fillmore on Friday nights and the best music . Not to mention the light shows and other"stuff". Those were the times -beleive or not Kids this is your granma speaking -you didn't invent it all -we lived it waaay back then!
What a great feeling to turn on your TV back then and see such fresh and amazing talent. Now we are stuck with wimps on American Idol.
They are so great...I met a few of them and they are still wonderful, talented, look and sing good wow
The legendary Jefferson Airplane with the fantastic Grace Slick.....what a strong and powerful voice. Psychodelic colours......who needs LSD, this is a trip......clear and beautifully performed. I remember these days....the days of remarkable artists that are still shaking the tree of the world with their music to this very day.

Welcome to MY era of music....where rock was rock. No BS like now...the 60's was the best time to live in. I lived it.
she's absolutely gorgeous, and she sings so well. makes me wish I was around for woodstock :/
Thank you Dick and Tom for bucking CBS and presenting uncensored music to the masses.And for political jokes that surely rankled brass/advertisers at CBS.
OMG! Smoothers Brothers!! I forgot about them!! Oh... and I trully love this song and her voice makes this song rush thru my blood like soldiers on a mission to my heart and soul... RLM

This is what the 60's were all about. Great music.
Such a powerful song, keeps building! Although I can't help think of anything other than fear & loathing haha
khloudzjia said it best--I was in SF in those daze (born there)..music was the greatest!
loved the SmosBros also..It WAS the best place to be, thanx for posting!
Oh my god.. such amazing memories.. of this song... we fed our minds.. and we found something and someone to love!!!
If you can not find good music you are not looking. I loved the 60's but somedays I get tired listening to all the classic stations. So I searched and I found great new music.
i had a great trip watching this, it was wonderful, thinking about driving 90 mph on my way to Las Vegas.
Great voice, intense delivery, awesome musicians--rock stars from my 60-70's generation are awesomesauce
Smokin 60s, good stuff!
I remember watching this on TV. I was 16 at the time, I think. Great performance of "Somebody to love".
Young, beautiful, talented, playing great music with good friends on national TV in the 70s? Plenty of reasons to be smiling!
still amazing was listening to this a few days ago driving down the m4 - sun was shining it just blew me away again ..
This is so amazing!!!!Real talent....Pure perfection!!!!60's and 70's were amazing
Jorma K. out-of-sight guitar playing here, especially the last licks, this is my favorite v. of Somebody to love on youtube
Quality and will never lose its appeal
Such a hypnotic, amazing voice! Damn my parents for having me in 1979 instead of the 1960's!
The 60's was the best time for rock & roll. It was a magical time as far as music goes. I thought the 80's was the worst and today, rock is almost extinct.
Thank you. This is wonderfully iconic. Is there anyone else out there who remembers watching this episode of the The Somother's Brother's Show? It looks so cheesy now, but looking back... ahhhhh we all were so hopeful and progressive thinking, what the ????? happened?
Great intro, better than I remembered.
i love that this vhs has been played so much it's starting to warp. classic.
Another time, another planet. Frighteningly great.
her voice is AWESOME! I remember hearing her on the radio when I was a kid.
The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour was the coolest thing on TV in the late '60s -- Sunday nights on CBS, back when there were just three networks. Of course, the most un-hip people didn't see this -- they were tuned in to "Bonanza" on NBC.

You got that right Jessica Cook
Hi Joann
Cute girl-Grace. Saw them in 85' Spring break South Padre (yes, had to do Spring break at least once). Almost fifty now and two marriages behind me and two kids (with the first one) I still yearn for somebody to love.
man those classic guitars just have the magic sound to my ear
Love this tune remember me mum n dad playing it when i was a kid still rocks now. Plus me kids now these tunes result
Was just watching Jim Carrey do this song in The Cable Guy. What a blast, he really does it up. Great song, great chorus.
@vsop333 you have never been so right i listened to The Jefferson Airplanes when i was a kid and these two songs were the only ones i listen to through out middle school and college
Beautiful era and music. I wish I was there.
Simply amazing:))
I don't ever recall seeing this. The audio quality is great, considering the technology at the time. I think I was about 12, and this was maybe the third or fourth album I ever owned. I still have the original pressing to this day.
i wish i was 54 years old. that way i was alive for when this music was new
the sheer amount of chills running down my spine...
They appeared again on the Smothers Brothers 3 weeks later on May 28, 1967 under a different name ("The Association"), after the acid trip ended. Check it out.
espectacular Grace con su voz y su mirada hipnotizante! ídola!
By far the best version of this song on youtube
Goin' down memory lane today... TY for the memories! Grace- can you still sing it? Soo love your voice!!!
