Grace Slick - The voice that launched a thousand trips!!!
Grace had an unique voice, Aileen, other tracks by them to react to: "Somebody To Love", and "Comin' Back to Me". Jefferson Airplane went through a few name changes, they later changed their name to Jefferson Starship and then Starship they had hits through the '60s, '70s and '80s.
I love that first Jefferson Starship album ❤
@@kvonjaco Yes, 'Dragon Fly' was a great album, I think "It's About Time" is my favourite track off it.
@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis. Thanks for helping to pull those names out of my hole! : )
@@kvonjaco No problem, my pleasure.
Reverb on this cut didn't hurt the performance.
This was a huge song in 1967 All over the radio stations in that year.
Grace Slick is one of my favorite all-time vocalists. Such a talent. She's still going strong, too. Just had a birthday! One of the best vibratos I've ever heard.
Live at Woodstock hell yeah
I'm a sucker for unconventional harmony vocals, and Slick/Kantner is one of my faves,
Actually Grace is retired.
@@user-tr9de6gm8k yep, but Grace is still pretty healthy for someone in her 80s. I "think" the only ones that aren't fully retired who were in Jefferson Airplane are Jack and Jorma who still perform as Hot Tuna pretty regularly.
Dreams is still one of the greatest albums ever made
Grace's voice is simply hypnotic.
I first heard this song s couple years ago leading up to Bray Wyatt's return to see they'd play this song live In the arenas during commercials of RAW and SmackDown
It's a special song. Grace has said that she composed it after listening to Miles Davis's Sketches of Spain album 24 hours straight while tripping. Her performance of this at Woodstock is definitely worth checking out. Iconic.
This song defined the psychedelic 60’s for me. Graces’ voice was truly one of a kind. Model turned singer she just celebrated her birthday yesterday. She’s gone through the looking glass and back with ease. Happy Birthday girl!
I think it is interesting that Grace Slick said that rock is music to express anger and protest and that "all rock and rollers over 50 look stupid and should retire". Which, she did. She has a point.
I wish it was longer as well. “Someone to Love” is another big hit of theirs. Another great reaction Aileen
It’s called “Somebody to Love.”
@@straycatttt2766 Yes --- and it also has my vote ✔ for next reaction.
The funny thing is that Grace was not an original member. She came over from the group "Great Society" and brought two songs that became the Airplane's biggest hits.
One of my favorite bands. I saw them in their last concert as Jefferson Airplane in Detroit. Grace Slick, Paul Kantor & Pappa John Creech. They finished their US tour. Later, they remembered as Jefferson Starship.
This was broadcast on the Smothers Bros. Comedy Hour which was the only show it could have been shown on. It was the 60's and censorship was rampant. Any drug reference was verboten! The Smothers Bros. had there own trouble with the censors, which led to their cancellation in 1969. They constantly showcased acts that were against the Vietnam War or held progressive opinions. I watched them religiously! I haven't heard this song straight in 20 years. Thanks for the reaction, Aileen! Blessings!
The Brothers helped amplify public opinion about the unjustifiable war.
I remember watching the show as a kid. Too bad they had to deal censorship. The music was always amazing.
"The Smothers Bros. had there own trouble with the censors, which led to their cancellation in 1969. " That is an enormous understatement. President Nixon demanded that CBS cancel the show. CBS did just that.
In 1969 we were living in San Fransicso while my dad was doing sociological research of the "Hippy" culture. We were walking by the house on Fulton street where the Jefferson Airplane lived and recorded when Grace Slick came over to the fence to tell my mom what beautiful babies she had. I was 4 and remember being insulted she called me a baby. She then invited my family to a show they were playing in Golden Gate Park with another band called the Grateful Dead (we hadn't hear of them at that point). We went to the show and I remember loving the music. Later my mom told me it was a free acid event and she was terrified the whole time that one of us little boys would acidently get dosed. I am still a big fan of the Dead. I would love to see a review of "China Cat Sunflower" sometime.
She's singing it in a very particular way for the overall theme of the song. Like that fast vibrato that she drops in so suddenly. They were almost certainly absolutely blasted out of their minds at the time. What I love most about music from this era is that the equipment just automatically creates a stunning sound. The guitar and bass amps, and even the reverb on her vocals. It's all classically epic.
Yes ma’am, that’s the correct response in this type of situation… “I’m ready.”
Let’s fucking go!
Jorma Kaukonnen, one of their guitarists, is one of the most outstanding acoustic blues players on the planet. He went on to form Hot Tuna with the bassist and they did mostly acoustic-driven blues and some rock, and had quite a career of their own. Jorma still has guitar camps and clinics, and is touring with Hot Tuna still.
The psychedelic special effects were in the studio presentation. This was live. The studio version is slightly better, but you can't beat this version where you get to see the band!
Plastic Fantastic Lover is a great song. And Somebody to Love was the other hit from the time. They later had a resurgence as Jefferson Starship. Miracles was a monster hit!
the version with grace's vocals isolated is pretty special too. 🙂
I saw Jefferson Airplane perform this song live in 1969 and 1970. They were one of my favorite live bands.
me too. i think it was at the winterland ballroom . do you remember where ?
I’ve heard the song 1000’s of times, but even today on occasion, Grace Slicks vocals still creep up creep up on me and make the hairs on my neck stand up they are so awesome.
There is a 6 1/2 minute version of this song (with a psychedelic 4 minute instrumental intro) done by Grace's original band The Great Society. Some of my favorites are 1) "Two Heads", 2) "Rejoyce", 3) "Lawman", 4) "The House at Pooneil Corner", 5) Theme from Manhole (Grace solo album. Song is over 15 minutes long), 6) "Better Lyin' Down" (Grace and Paul Kantner), and 7) "Across the Board" just to name a few.
You should hear Grace’s voice track isolated from the original studio recording. It is exquisite. She is a fantastic vocalist.
Such a timeless old song. My brother's the lead guitarist in Hard Rock/Metal band and they always manage to work this song into their set. They have a female lead singer and she has a similarly haunting voice as Grace Slick. The audience still goes crazy when they play it, even after all these years. ❤
My aunt was friends with Grace Slick in high school. She was quite the character supposedly. Aggressive and artistic.
Somebody To Love is a great representation of her voice's range extending a bit more and shows a different "energy" to her vocal performance.
This is one of my favorite songs! Grace’s voice is amazing!
Lol, I introduced a friend to this song just the other day. Her jaw dropped, she couldn't believe it...
It was a very controversial sing at the time with allegations of drug references..........
You're right, the World wasn't ready for 4 mins, it struggled with 2.28 😂
Brings up good memories, Somebody to love is also a great son.
Jefferson Airplane only Somebody to Love !!!
Love when you select classic rock songs to review. There are so many gems out there. Keep doing what you're doing. It is awesome.
Got to remember that back in the '60's & '70's, if you wanted to get Top 40 airplay, you song had to be nominally 2.5 minutes long. Frequently bands started to have full versions on the album and would truncate the song length when released as a single to try to increase the odds for exposure.
And btw Gracie was my first celebrity crush. 😊 I thought she was mysterious and beautiful and had a compelling voice with a wonderful vibrato.
A 2 minute song unique style, with Amazing vocals. Lyrics based on literature. That don't repeat once, let alone of thousands of "Baby, baby baby". And Grace has no need to wear black rubber underwear or shake her thang one. bit. Major respect for that genre of music.
"Somebody To Love" "Volunteers."
Hi 👋 Aileen I love this Grace's voice was hauntingly beautiful I love that building of intensity and the push to the musical and lyrical crescendo what a savage song 🎵 just phenomenal 😊thanks again for another fantastic reaction Aileen your a badass much respect 🙏 🫡 😊
She has a very powerful voice
'Nothings gonna stop us' is another great one.❤ I love Grace's voice.
Grace had a voice that was as well controlled as a surgeons scapple but had the power of a Sherman tank. The smirk was because she was so nervous, she jumped the beet but was able to correct, and knew no one noticed. That made her realize she was truly in control on that stage. Not bad for an 18 YOs first time on a stage and on LIVE TV. I had such a crush on her as a kid. Sad what the industry did to her and many others. Why I pray every week for Angelina Jordon and other young people. Being set into that toxic waste.
Grace Slick: The voice that launched a thousand trips. Remember, this was the psychedelic 60s. All kinds of stuff was goin' down!
I met Grace Slick in a library in Dallas, Tx. She is extremely talented in general. She was showcasing her paintings
still a fantastic tune after all these years, great voice, great sound, whats not to love
Grace Slick just turned 84!! Perfect voice. I absolutely LOVE this song!!
Thanks for reacting to it.
Y'all be safe. (Texas slang there.)
I heard long ago that Grace phrased her vocals like a guitar solo. You can get a better feel for it from "Somebody to Love"
Grace Slick is the pride of the San Francisco music scene of the sixties and seventies. I met her a few times and is always a very sweet conversationalist. You should check out her and the band's Woodstock performance to see her personality with the crowd. Great voice, great performer and great person.
They were great as Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, and Starship!
I'm gonna geek out here and thank you for acknowledging that you DIDN'T (3:18) rewind like you'd said! I think it's important to give you props for being mindful of that. Because, yes, we DO notice. Most of us WANT reactors to go back 5 or so seconds so as not to miss any dramatic transitions (as was the case here), key lyrics, drum fills, etc. So I was psyched when you said you would, then rolled my eyes when I saw you hadn't, then clapped my hands and LOL when you acknowledged you didn't after all! Cheers!
Grace Slick.....the voice that launched a thousand trips! She even tried to get LSD into President Nixon's coffee. Next song? Somebody to Love......this will definitely show you the power of Grace Slick's voice.
Love Jefferson airplane one of the most important bands in history the godfathers of acid psychedelic rock
Adam is right. Somebody to love, great song!
"Somebody to Love" is another one of Jefferson Airplane's best and most popular songs .....
Beautiful reaction 😊 This is the sound of the 60s in San Francisco.
LOVE her voice so much!
Someone had suggested:
“Somebody To Love”
…I agree!
(This song is DIFFERENT than Queen/Freddie Mercury’s song w the same title.)
Really cool hippie song and I heard it because my cousins listened to it, I just love the whole hippie vibe.
My mother used to call me a long haired hippie when I was young.
60's music in my opinion, just hits different you know. This band proves it, the instruments and the vocals by Grace Slick especially she has one the best vibratos tbh. Happy Halloween Alieen!
i love your reaction and personality....soooooo mesmerizing
wow! this takes me way way way back. i've been down the rabbit a few time. bsck then. Grace Slick was wow!
Grace Slick, Janice Joplin, Karen Carpenter, and Stevie Nick's are all voices that you know immediately when you hear them.
Thank you for this reaction
So Aileen said psychedelic & Groovy. I feel like I've really been transported back to the 1960's!
Wait! Aileen knows about Psychedelic & Groovy? Wow!
This song was used perfectly in Fear and Loathing
So she's already watched this vid evidently. I watch reaction vids for to see the "initial" reaction. Reaction vs Analysis I guess is what I enjoy.
love this song glad you went down this rabbit hole ha ha
I would also point out that it seems like kind of a strange choice but it's brilliant and I think it's a key component of the song, and that is that martial drum cadence that just relentlessly runs throughout the song.
I bet you would really be impressed with Somebody To Love. It's a great great song but you also get to hear even more aggression in her voice.
… Just take those old records off the shelf
I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock 'n' roll
...Bob Seger
.
I agree with Bob.
I love this song. My favorite Jefferson Starship songs are Miracles and You Can Count On Me.
I really dug the music of the late 60s. Especially 68, 69 and 70. Grace Slick to me was a great singer my fav is Somebody to Love. Another great tune u may enjoy is You keep me Hanging On by Vanilla Fudge in 68. Had such a rock psychedelic vibe. Appreciate if u would react to it.
That was criminally short😂 but so good.
Somebody to Love is a must.
OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE ARE GOING THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video! I saw "White Rabbit" and immediately thought of Egypt Central 😅 but this was still a good song
The entire album is a wonder, not all the same but it flows.
You just ran into the voice that scared millions of parents, Grace was one of a kind as was her awesome band. Do Something to Love by them next, they are a deep Rabbit Hole! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
The song is a bolero, after a Spanish dance rhythm. (Ravel’s is the most famous)
This one is constructed like a one-act play. It’s a wind-up toy with dense and sophisticated lyrics.
It’s the perfect length to make you listen to it again and again!
Pop songs don’t come any better than this.
Remember what the doormouse said... feed your head! Another great Airplane song is Somebody To Love... also, for more great 60's California women singers, check out the The Mamas and Papas, and songs like Monday, Monday or California Dreamin'
I owned this model in the 80's. It was so fun to ride. Loved the Kawasaki green. It was a beast - could smoke the tire and ride on the back wheel through first to third gear. The front brakes could make the front tire scream. Absolute rocket ship.
After they changed their name to Jefferson Starship, Marty Palin took the lead on "MIRACLES" which is a classic! Grace does the call & response backup vocals and it's SO SEXY. Please give it a try, the long version.
she is badass. rock and roll.
Happy birthday Grace❤
One word: Woodstock. Check out her Woodstock performance!
'Today', and 'Coming Back to Me' are wonderful hippy-trippy tunes of theirs to check out!
It was a hit from the third album in 1967 and get the 81th of billboard hot 100 .
Grace Slick just turned 84 yesterday... she retired in 1989 saying, "All rock-and-rollers over the age of 50 look stupid and should retire." I disagree, I just got tickets for Maynard James Keenan's 60th birthday concert in April he'll be with his bands A Perfect Circle and Puscifer as well as Primus with a 60 year old Les Claypool. Anyway, check out Somebody to Love... it was on the same album as White Rabbit and is my favorite of theirs.
6:34 - There are videos of Jefferson Airplane at Woodstock. Well worth looking for here on TH-cam.
I remember watching that performance on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. ..... Wow .. I really am old!
I saw Jefferson Airplane February 7th, 1970 at Anaheim Convention Center across the street from Disneyland.
I was 11 . . . one month shy of 12.
Hot Tuna and It's a Beautiful Day were there also !
Look for It's a Beautiful Day's ' White Bird' from the era . . .
It's a Beautiful Day - White Bird - 7/7/1970 - Tanglewood (Official)
Song from 1969.
Very trippy. Lived it still Love to visit.❤
Grace even wrote this.
A really powerful song - short and sweet - but how could it be longer? The tension rises throughout. Where further could it have gone (without going backwards) ?
Often covered by others, BUT I've yet to see anyone else do it justice. How could they? Grace performed the song from within - and enjoyed it. No "look at my voice - I'm a singer dontcha know !"
So many songs to suggest - but another Grace-penned one which I'd love to hear your commentary on the lyrics for - is "LATHER" :)
It's as bonkers as all of Grace's own songs.
"Lather was 30 years old today, they took away all of his toys.
His mother sent newspaper clippings to him
About his old friends whoʼd stopped being boys..."
Jefferson Airplane - Lather
th-cam.com/video/RVstafKZDYY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=eZ792D6VYs3upK_h
I recommend "knock me out-Linda Perry and Grace Slick",two powerfull voices
Great choice....Plastic Fantastic Lover is another...
You did a reaction on THIS?? Guess this day, as today, was worth living then. 🙂 And yeah. That voice.
This song it's about Alice in wonderland and much more ,from Jefferson airplane then evolved to Jefferson starship and starship in the 70s 80 s ,so many hits like somebody to love
It’s no secret.
I Crown of Creation.
Lather.
Somebody to love.
Grace Slick is an iconic voice!
this song came out 2 months before I was born April '67, one of my favorites ✌💖☮
I was born in april 67 too
In the 70s this is one.of my favorite band's
Bad ass riffs plus a honey singing
"Somebody to Love" is another one... and maybe "We Built This City" although that one's less unanimous
I first heard this song on a commercial for a jrpg on the xbox 360, and Graces highs and lows just stuck with me for years until I found out what the song was years later
Welcome to the rabbit hole🎶🎶🎶🎶
one of the best songs ever
We ALL wish it were longer! So Groovy & Psychedelic. What an Amazing song....blows my mind every time I hear it .... just as if it were the first!!! Great Reaction Aileen. Another by them to try would be **SOMEBODY TO LOVE** Cheers!
Grace aslick was legendary in her vicals on Psychedelic Rock! Also listen to Don't you want somebody to love!
