Yup. Crosby had a wonderfully complex soul. Stills was a dick and just wanted Crosby to act more like Pat Boone, and continued to slag David long after his death. Daddy issues, I guess. The closeted/cosseted Stills craved only to join a barbershop quartet. Then along came Vietnam and wrecked his Mayberry-era namby-pamby dream.
In my old age, I found that I was living my life by many of the words of Airplane songs. Go back and listen. Grace Slick lyrics, are some of the building blocks of my life.
"Soon you'll attain the stability you strive for. in the only way that it's granted. in a place among the fossils of our time." Never let them define and constrain your life, and always keep growing!
War's good business so give your son, and I'd rather have my country die for me. - Grace Slick song lyrics But we should be together, Come on all you people standing around, Our life's too fine to let it die, We can be together - Grace Slick
I was there for this. Sat right off to the side of Graham. It was one of the best moments of my life. Thanks for posting this. Brings back great memories.
fupperdupps what an experience, not their late 60s/early 70s peak, but at least you caught the essence of both CSN&Y and JA with a beautiful rendition at the end of the 80s.
you prolly dont care but if you're stoned like me atm then you can watch all the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Have been streaming with my girlfriend for the last weeks =)
I had never heard this before. What a great song with Grace Slick adding her iconic voice! Thanks for posting. I know I found it because of David Crosby's recent passing. RIP David Crosby. Your wonderful voice from my growing up years takes me back to a happier, gentler time when I could sit around with friends listening to the best music ever written and recorded. Much better than the so called music of today. Oh, yeah. There's some good stuff but not albums after albums of the soundtrack of my life.
Rest in Power Dave Crosby ✌🏿😞 Thanks for all the inspiration and All the beautiful music and knowledge.I now share this with my kids.I will cherish you in memories.Getcha Pull 🥃🔥🥦🌬️💨🛸-CHEERS 🍻
@@LucyLennon909 LOL! Maybe I could at least take you out to Dinner! Denny's or "Top of the World" in Las Vegas? My Band played this on College Campuses all through the 1970's after I survived the U.S. Army 1969-1971. Man, those were the days! Now retired after 41 years in IT, I am hard at work on my Book. "Wooden Ships" is now again very much upon us. We are in big, big trouble!
Airplane ✈️!! Crosby Nash !! To listen alone takes you to so many places !! Grace has so much talent !! 3 unbelievable voices !! CROSBY OMG !! RIP DUDE. GX
The best compliment I've ever gotten was: Someone told me that I remind them of Grace Slick. Smart woman she doesn't believe in geriatric rock performances. Rather just paint 🖼🎨🖌
I have always loved this song. The vocal harmonization on this version is terrific, with an unpolished sound at times, which I rather like. Great post!
Thank You TH-cam this is Fantastic and it brings me back to my younger days.This sounds just like it did back then with the added voice of Grace Slick.
I've forever loved this song ,w Grace it's perfection!!! She can duet w David & Graham so beautifully......it flows like water from a spring. Though a originally a protest song as I've heard before my time....I love CSN & when (Y) was present. That was excellent
Tre leggende alla voce e alla chitarra. In una meravigliosa commistione di stili vocali e musicali, tra David Crosby e Graham Nash (del famoso quartetto con Still e Young) e Grace Slick, eccellente vocalist dei Jefferson Airplane. Grandi! :-)
That was absolutely amazing. To have three great musicians together, singing in harmony and just enjoying being together, it doesn't get any better. Thanx for posting this.
I am lucky enough to have seen the Airplane several times and CSN&Y. This version of Wooden Ships Slick, Crosby and Nash is incredible. Thank you, so many memories of time gone by. The beauty is what's to come.
I feel lucky I got to see Grace in 79 when she came back to join Mickey for a Starship tour. I also feel very lucky to see CSN and Young for their last tour as a political tour against Bush. It was the Red Rock concert, brought my young son and my best friend. One of the greatest concerts ever. It ended with about a 20 minute final jam of Rocking the Free World.
I had no idea until the other day about the mix up on Wooden Ships at Woodstock. Great to see this video of Grace joining Crosby and Nash for this version. Thank you for posting this. Love ya

vada28 I disagree with you, but that is cool. None of us are perfect, and being a human being, he too has made mistakes in his life. He has also written and made music that helped and saved many lives, which is more than can be said of most of us.

The abiding virtue of this version is that it fuses Airplane's approach with CSN's and actually been co-written by core members of both, notably Paul Kantner. Whereas Crosby planted the song in a time -- "who won the war", Airplane uses "who won" -- and Airplane abstraction only implies conflict in keeping "the other side". This opens the song up a more universal set of human behaviors. This might seem small and analytical for a mere 1970s/80s song yet what a song it is and is not just something from popular entertainment. Kantner wrote the Airplane version specifically for Slick's voice and it is worth remembering that she was and Eng Lit graduate from a noted American university for ladies. Literary allusions pervade Airplane's material and although it seems that Ms Slick was expelled for some reason or another, it appears that she had been a high achiever. She would have known Wilfred Owens' 'Strange Meeting', in which the word "enemy" is used only once but only to distinguish the dead men talking to each other. Owens' poem is quite long with war/conflict being a human trait -- in which the dialog is by mutual victims there by chance. Crosby spoils this improvised version of 'Wooden Ships' towards the end by trying to extend it but is reined in by Slick and Nash.
I always preferred JAirplanes version. ( Paul Kantner did help Crosby & Nash write it...) It had a bit more grit to it. ! ( I just played this myself, over the weekend, at an open mic session)How delightful to stumble over this, this morning!!

Great version , Grace does a great job with the voices of David and Graham . Great feel 👍
A fantastic rendition of one of the all-time '60s classics.
Incredible performance! As someone commented, I agree this is one of the best versions I’ve heard - Crosby was just amazing 👍
RIP, David. Thanks for the great music.

a devastating apocalyptic song - as relevant today as it was back then - beautiful version.
This is MUSIC
Classic. Miss it.
This is a seamless song by 3 amazing artists. It’s perfect.
Singing with Crosby and Nash mellows Grace's sound. Very nice.
Great collaboration. 3 of the best harmony singers ever!
Plus Grace.
Grace Slick did an awesome job with her vocals. 🎤
Down a TH-cam rabbit hole and came across this. What a great version.👍❤
"...somewhere where we might laugh again."
Ladies and gentlemen, the fabulous Grace Slick...
GREAT MOMENT IN TIME --- never heard Crosby better
Love Grace in there. Rest in Peace Crosby
I treasure these old performances. To me they will never get old.

@@randallsmith7885 thanks! I found a couple videos of Beth Hart. She is a very good singer songwriter.
Indeed
@Lucy Lennon I've seen her paintings online. She's very good. I still wish she was singing, though.
una delle più belle canzoni della storia del rock!!!
Oh, first time seeing this, how lovely.
Fabulous, way to go Grace!

Wooden Ships is a collaboration of Bay Area greats!
The Bay area baby!
Love this version. Grace!
HARD TO FIND THIS... GREAT

Wow! How old are you lol!?...
It's not CSN. It's CN. It would be three times as good if Stills was there on lead.
I much prefer Crosby over Stills.
Remember seeing CSN performing this during the 4 Way Street tour. Then heard Airplane do it on Volunteers. Best of both. Thankyou.
That was absolutely amazing. To have three great musicians together, singing in harmony and just enjoying being together, it doesn't get any better. Thanx for posting this.

What beautiful strumming & top notch vocaling on this verion......
And I was a tween then!!!!!
So very beautiful.
I am so happy that this is the only version that I knew and like. Thank U, CSN
Smooth and sweet.
This is the end of an era.Enjoy this music

The best version of Wooden Ships ever is by the Jefferson Airplane
Maybe bc Marty Balin is out of this world amazing
Woodstock Generation never died...
As I've always said...so much chemisty between these guitarers oh yaaa - won't ever die xxxxxxxxx
Fantastici!
That last chord on the vocals is awesome
Straight out of the Airplane playbook, sounds like to me.
INCREDIBLE ACOUSTICS
from times past never to return
Amazing !!!
Joan Osborne and Grace Slick....now, that would be a great duet....
amazing
All three in great form
Simply delicious !
Wow lovely combo
