I love his work with this album (Software) & Jefferson Starship's 'Nuclear Furniture' album (both released in 1984). He didn't have that much to do with Starship's 'Knee Deep' album, though he & his wife wrote the #1 hit 'Sara'. I wonder how Grace does feel about this music, she can't stand 'We Built This City' & 'Nothings' Gonna Stop Us Now. I love all of it! ;-)
DC WAS & IS BY FAR THE BEST INTERVIEWER IN TV HISTORY IF U WATCH HIM IN MANY OF HIS SHOWS HE MOVES HAS GOOD QUESTIONS (interesting ) DIFFERENT, TV IS ALWAYS TIGHT ((ESPECIALLY)) IN THOSE DAYS (no cable no time but for commercials!) HE's FAST & NEVER IDIOTIC REALLY REALLY HARD TO DO LIVE TV OR INTERV UNDER 2 MIN. ..TRY IT IF YOU THINK IT EASY (WITH AUDIENCE, WITH CAM ROLLING, WITH SPONSORS WATCHING, WITH A MILLION OR MORE AT HOME WATCHING YOUR JOB ON THE LINE TO BE SPONTANEOUS & CLEAN FUN! DC U WERE TRULY "THE PRO"" AT ALL TIMES!
she built this city on bullshit. but.. you can't bullshit a bullshitter like she CAN. the best female vocalist to survive the summer of love. I'm overjoyed they didn't INCLUDE the ridiculous shit she was promoting at the time. so much incredible stuff she did flawlessly, saved my life listening to tracks of hers.. no one could compare to the perfection of her one voice. period
Interesting fact about Slick: In her entire solo career she only had one song that just BARELY entered the Billboard Hot 100 Charts called “Seasons”. It peaked as low as No. 95 in April of 1980 and is SO weird and different sounding with a Russian folk like European children’s song medley. Just so odd.
She performed "Seasons" on a Friday afternoon showing of the Merv Griffin Show. "Seasons" came off of the album "Dreams"; she earlier had performed another song off of "Dreams"--can't remember the title--on the afternoon variety/talk "The John Davidson Show" which was somewhat of a replacement for Dinah Shore who had retired along with her show. I grew up in a house lacking cable TV which meant soap operas in the afternoon (sponsored by Proctor and Gamble on CBS whose commercials were more interesting. Remember Calgonite's "The Spotmeister"?) followed by Merv/Mike Douglas/Dinah-then-John Davidson. By post-1980 these shows were gone, replaced by syndicated reruns like "All in the Family", "The Brady Bunch", "Hawaii Five-0" etc. During the Merv/Mike/Dinah era If I was stuck in the house, unless there was an interesting guest appearing on one of these shows I usually watched...Sesame Street!
Surely is interesting to watch these old interviews. My how far we've come!
Dick Clark, David Letterman, Dick Cavett. They all love Grace.
Grace Slick has since retired from the music business & has become a talented artist.
Grace Slick rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn that's the most precise description of electronic music anyone in the whole of music industry has ever said...bonk bonk bonk...nee..nee..nee.
When she said Peter Wolf, I was thinking J Geils Band, but that’s definitely not him, lol.
Me Too Lol !!
I'm all for the airplane, man. I can't see grace this way...

Thank God for that!
1:34 Posing with hands in pockets was very 1984.
grace slick rules
From 1967 to 1984 on bandstand......what a difference.....(I liked her 60's fashion better).
I wish there was a way to be able to listen to the music. They didn't play any music.
Did she perform that night? I would love to see it.
She knows her craft and how to make a fast buck freddie. Good on you girl. Xx
Looks like she was touring with Kraftwerk
67psych2 the 80's were great.

So glad the 80s are long gone.
I can't remember if it was this show or another where there was someone just standing there holding a vacuum. It might even have been Grace!
She never been into bucks that's why she pretty much quit, but alcohol played a major part too.
good use of the Fairlight there
Ah, it's the 1980s when music wasn't the only thing that went electronic.
Grace Slick would later disown her time with the "Starship" spinoff which largely followed Peter Wolf's musical direction.
Herbie Hancock and Jan Hammer also does Electronic Music through computers as well
Genius, shear Genius
Flock of Seacrap hair. Microwave oven instruments. The dark days of music.
Wtf
Less jokes from Dick Clark would have been wonderful.
