this is a song I always loved. I really like the original recording but when I tried it with Berklee bands we never did it justice. Since I like it so much I tried it with this summer group of high school students. The vocalist Cece mentioned it first I believe. I grabbed one of the guitar players guitars and came up with that bass riff. Then told Travis the drummer to play a half time groove and off they went.
@@martywalsh they are top of the food chain, there's a version of my old school here too, those kids kill it, too. They studied and practiced and it shows. A lot of kids today just want instantaneous rewards....ain't happening in our universe.
Great job, great voice, great musicians - but I prefer the original - and to those who say she was better than Grace, remember one thing - high end recording capability back then likely doesn’t measure up to the basic stuff available today.
I thought that no one should ever try to cover a song by the incomparable Grace Slick.
I was wrong. Outstanding!
Thanks Walter that means a lot marty
How is that lead singer not on a major label? Her voice is magic!
Ya she is really good, it takes a lot more than a good voice though. Management, songs, etc.
She outdid Grace, I hate to say it, but also I'm glad this song is still in the hearts and minds of the next generation of revolutionaries

Nobody can touch Grace or the original. That's why we changed the arrangement. Thanks for the comment!
A classic performance of a classic song from the psychedelic '60s. Your students sound as good or better than most professional tribute bands.
