    She does this song justice. Glad to hear it again. I won't compare it with Grace Slick at Woodstock. That was a long, long time ago. They say that Grace Slick wrote this in minutes and it just flowed out naturally.

    • @cynthiacoleman4577
      @cynthiacoleman4577 Před 4 lety +8

      She, above, doesn't have the "right" inflections as Slick, which made the song slick, not graceful. People just don't know how the pills were given out back then, how we were to behave. I've listen to the 1967 version and the song at Woodstock, and I prefer the 1967, Dick Cavett, version. I prefer the "Spanish" elements to the song. Slick said, "In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Slick mentioned that, in addition to Alice in Wonderland, her other inspiration for the song was Ravel's Boléro. Like Boléro, "White Rabbit" is essentially one long crescendo." That's what made this brief song so great. The mix of Alice and Boléro. If you don't know Boléro, listen to it. This song may be about hallucinogens, but it's sung by someone intellectual.

      I agree to the extent that "comparisons" damage artistic interpretation; but understanding the differences in those interpretations is also important. I agree that this version doesn't have the crescendo element of the Woodstock or original versions; but this was a truncated concert version, so that is understandable. As to the vocal phrasing, no artist wants to be a robot in their cover, but responsible artists adhere to the music; Grace did that here and it is to her credit that she maintained the essential integrity of the original but with her own vocal touches. It's a compelling performance. KDM

      I heard it first back in '67 or so and it has never really left my head. Rabbit, Volunteers, Somebody to Love, and Good Shepherd play back to back to back sometimes, depending on where my own head is being fed.
      Nobody will ever match the impact of the Beatles, but for my own personal enjoyment of music, Airplane, REM, Pink Floyd, Clapton, Janis, Springsteen, and a few other bands rank right up there in a relative tie for first place.

    attended SLU with Grace--we took a musics of the world class and she was such a trip. ironically, I did a project on a Jefferson Airplane album and I passed the vinyl around the room. The album was "After Bathing at Baxter's" and the cover was in flimsy shape. When Grace got it, the record fell out of the sleeve and she let out some sort of swear in the process, lol. Definitely miss the nights seeing her at Java and Yoga loft on campus. Keep up the good work Grace!
