My biggest crush as a young man. I once stood 10 ft from her at an Airplane concert, during the Revolution era. I've never been so mesmerized. I couldn't breathe. At 24, no one was prettier or more captivating than her. Her 'White Rabbit' performance at Woodstock was the best performance there. I read a story a while back that she was booted from Starship because she lost her ability to sing on key, due to drinking too much. But if this was her last performance, that story is total bull-she was note-perfect here.
I was in Jr. High when she did the US magazine interview in which she disclosed she had been with women. That was a pivotal moment for me; she made it okay for me to be gay.
She was kicked out of Jefferson Starship after a show in Germany in July, 1978. Grace was really drunk, and she was calling the audience members Nazi’s and children of Nazi’s while goose stepping across the stage and chanting “who won the war?” She rejoined the band 2-3 years later.
@@gelubatir9794 Hi Gelu, I'm usless with modern tech, but thank you for your comment. Womens' rights have improved slowly during the last few decades, but things could easily go into reverse with MAGA, etc. Best wishes, Kay x
I've had a secret love affair with Grace and this incredible band since I was 9 years old. I'm 59 now. Love you Grace, Marty, Jack, and Jorma. RIP Paul and Spencer. One of the best bands of all time!
When I first got into rock and roll Grace Slick and Janis were my idols. My sister had the Red Octopus album and I used to steal it and listen to it for hours. There was no one like Grace or Janis. Two ballsy talented women who paved the way for every female rocker to come. They owe them a huge debt.
You just tasted a portion of Grace Slick's energy. A damn shame she didn't want to perform any more because in person I never saw any body with as much charisma and talent. Her kind of energy has not been seen for a long, long time. Bless ya Grace!
Grace puts a lot of today's so-called "singers" to shame. I only got to see her live on stage once, but what a great set of vocal cords that lady had. Grace really knew how to belt out a song and make it mesmerizing.
Today's singers?? How about yesterday's and everyday's. Greatest female singer of rock ever. Effortless brilliance, power and ability to inject drama that was palpable, into every line she ever sang. Ah to have had a few drinks in a Paris bistro with Grace sitting on my left and Edith Piaf on my right!
This is a great lesson for all that have perishable skills, go out on top. One of the most talented rockers ever, I am so grateful to have heard her when I was a teen back in the late 60s when performers were artists.
Yes, she is mindblowing. After she retired, I would not see Jefferson Starship until Cathy Richardson joined.She is a vocal powerhouse in her own right and co-wrote songs with Grace for the band's 2021 release.
To Grace, and The Airplane. I grew up in the bay area.. In 1968 I was only 15. You and your group were the center of rock. There is no dought about that. As we age, I, and the rest of us are humbled by your music, and and the San Francisco sound, in the 60s. Thank you for your gift of music. I still play your music and it still sounds so good. Good night to you from one of your good fans... Peace to you..... dave in Sierra vista AZ.
I saw Jefferson Starship back in the 70s at the international Amphitheater in Chicago. they were still touring with Papa John creach and they blew everybody's hair back. It Was a great performance. She was phenomenal.
"Law Man" Lyrics by Grace Slick (Originally on the JA LP BARK) Law man I'm afraid you just walked in here at the wrong time My old man's gun has never been fired But there's a first time and this could be this could be the first time Law man You know you look to be a lot younger than me and I'd hate to shoot a baby You've got a long way to go before you're old and slow And it could be It could be a good time if you change your mind Well I'm tired and sweet from making love And it's just too late You'll have to wait Bring your business around here in the morning Well I've heard your line And you've heard mine And I'm just too tired to take a side Bring your business around here in the morning Don't you want to be easy look there Let some of the things you see go on by or You can burn them into your brain go on home Don't you see the children, they're just like you They want everything to be fine but they let it slide And the laughing lets you know that smiling breaks the rules Law breaker you know it could be me And if you had your way we'd all be down Under the face of a clock that's just too old to be wound And you can see now the old hands won't move around One way or the other, Fool card brother this could be, This could be, the first time.
"When the Truth is found to be lies, And all the Joy within you dies, Don’t you …" …made my life better, or at least more interesting. Thanks Grace! 🌎🌊🌲🔥🌪 ❤️
Maybe. But, ever seen Pat Benatar, back in the day? Back when Hell Is For Children was all over the radio? She had quite the vocal range back then. That girl could flat out sing!
GREAT to see this as I was there over to stage left. Was a long show and great to see Grace but actually this wasnt her last appearance to date. She sung again around the time of 9-11. Great show. Was VERY surprised to hear "Lawman" as I really like the rarely sung more obscure Grace songs. Gimme Silver Spoon any day over Somebody to Love. :-)
I remember when I read the news story about this visit from the police, and I thought, "What? That's the lyrics to a song, not something that really happened!". Still blows my mind that she predicted the future like that.
I was a very lucky precocious teenager in San Francisco in 1966 when I discovered the Jefferson Airplane and Grace Slick. With out a doubt she was the most alive, intense, talented force of nature in the entire scene. And believe me: there were a bunch of real characters from Garcia, Janis, Cippolina, Gurley, Steve Miller, Jerry Miller, Albin, Spence, Bloomfield, Butterfield, Stills, Casady, Kaukonen,Duncan,Young, the Chamber Brothers-and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Amidst this vortex of psychedelic energy and community Grace was, for my money, completely electric. She burned her presence by her performance.
Other than Janis the woman is the greatest female rock singer that ever lived....must have seen her over 30 times and loved every last one of them shows
Saw a young Grace and Jefferson Airplane at the Cheetah Club at the P.OP. pier in Santa Monica circa mid 1960's! Anyone remember that concert venue? What a magnificent performer and singer she was back then! The Cheetah was formerly the Aragon Ballroom where Lawrence Welk filmed his show for over a decade!
I was right up front at the stage at the Race Track in Baton Rouge in 1969. It was great to watch her and Janis joking and chatting before an act. Unfortunately those were the days when you did not have camera phones or any camera that could pick up pictures in low light. Great memory of just being there for the moment.
grace stopped performing and started painting very successfully. she said old people should be heard and not seen and young people should be seen and not heard
i used to play in her yard, and she was tolerant of me and my pals. this woman is is an american treasure. i can't think of anyone i could trust with the west coast. maybe not the utilities....
Back years ago when I read about her being arrested for pulling a gun on a cop, I could visualize her singing this song while the whole thing was going down.
I saw her and Mickey Thomas together with Jefferson Starship. Never saw two better singers and they had great chemistry! Grace had better stage presence than Mickey
No to the cheesy keyboards, no to the arena rock drum sound, no to the rushed tempo, I was never that fond of the lyrics. But even if the lyrics were questionable I still like the song becuz she sang it so well.
update: grace slick did guest with jefferson starship in SoCal 2-3 weeks after 9/11. she came on stage wearing a black burhka, then she threw it off showing a sash the said "F*** Fear" there are photos. i don't know about anything else though.....
Great Find, Great song! Anybody catch Jorma & Jack at Lockin this year? They did an incredible version of this rarely played chestnut with Rachel Price on Vocals. It was Sublime

Grace! What an inspiration. I was a working class girl in Liverpool in the 70s when I first came upon Grace. She made me realise that I had a voice.
bravo

She was such a powerful performer. Unfortunately we all grow old but it’s better to have been able to use your talents than never to have known it.
Such a distinct and incredible singer.
One of the greatest.

GRACE a LITTLE more SO ,,,,,,, since she din't BLOW IT
Grace was great ... even better with Jefferson Starship. I didn't really dig Janis.
You just tasted a portion of Grace Slick's energy. A damn shame she didn't want to perform any more because in person I never saw any body with as much charisma and talent. Her kind of energy has not been seen for a long, long time. Bless ya Grace!
I was an still am in love with Grace Slick. She probably 78 now an I'm 58. So good night Grace an peace an spirit b with you. From a Disabled Marine.
+Robert Taylor Hi Robert. Grace was born on October 30, 1939. So she will be 76 next month.
Have you seen her lately?
Send her postcard, saying something like, "So long as I have a face, Grace, you'll always have place to sit."
Dexter Haven zoo
I love her to ! P.s. There's more to love then sex !
There's great singers, and then there's Grace. Loved her for too many years, and always will.
She went out on top!! What a magnificent performance!
The best overall voice and songwriter in Rock & Roll. God Bless you Grace
Just brilliant! What a fantàstic singer and performer.
Grace you were always the inspiration for all those powerful vocals rock on Grace
Grace puts a lot of today's so-called "singers" to shame. I only got to see her live on stage once, but what a great set of vocal cords that lady had. Grace really knew how to belt out a song and make it mesmerizing.
You gotta start with talent. Then you need brains. Then discipline.
Those are all in short supply today.
They will never equal her ferocity, drive and passion on the microphone. Grace didn’t back down to ANYONE. Living life to the ultimate. Trailblazer!
The honest 60s belief plus just Grace, weapon
@@txmetalhead82xk Agree. 💯

Was lucky to catch them at ground level Sun. Noon at Woodstock
@@sharan5092 allright now
I know this is 23 old,But Grace's voice was still awesome here,I'm blown away.
She saved her famous vibrato voice for the end of this song.Classy at her age.👍
Good God that woman can sing!!!!!!!!
Yes, she is mindblowing. After she retired, I would not see Jefferson Starship until Cathy Richardson joined.She is a vocal powerhouse in her own right and co-wrote songs with Grace for the band's 2021 release.
He does have a great set of lungs. To me the best female voice ever, bar none, and there are some great ones

Such talented, intelligent and strong woman some men and women can’t handle that.

"Law Man"
Lyrics by Grace Slick (Originally on the JA LP BARK)
Law man I'm afraid you just walked in here at the wrong time
My old man's gun has never been fired
But there's a first time and this could be this could be the first time
Law man
You know you look to be a lot younger than me and
I'd hate to shoot a baby
You've got a long way to go before you're old and slow
And it could be
It could be a good time if you change your mind
Well I'm tired and sweet from making love
And it's just too late
You'll have to wait
Bring your business around here in the morning
Well I've heard your line
And you've heard mine
And I'm just too tired to take a side
Bring your business around here in the morning
Don't you want to be easy look there
Let some of the things you see go on by or
You can burn them into your brain go on home
Don't you see the children, they're just like you
They want everything to be fine but they let it slide
And the laughing lets you know that smiling breaks the rules
Law breaker you know it could be me
And if you had your way we'd all be down
Under the face of a clock that's just too old to be wound
And you can see now the old hands won't move around
One way or the other,
Fool card brother this could be,
This could be, the first time.
Grace was and is such a perfect soul. It’s her imperfections that make her absolutely perfect, if that makes any sense at all.
"When the Truth is found to be lies,
And all the Joy within you dies,
Don’t you …"
…made my life better, or at least more interesting.
Thanks Grace!
🌎🌊🌲🔥🌪 ❤️
Grace set a standard very few have since reached.
Thank you SO much for sharing this cleaned up version. An amazing performance finally allowed the shine it deserves
Grace Slick is the GREATEST woman to ever front a Rock band. And she bowed out gracefully.
Maybe. But, ever seen Pat Benatar, back in the day? Back when Hell Is For Children was all over the radio? She had quite the vocal range back then. That girl could flat out sing!
Good one... lol
@@mtntime1 still a decade after GRACE SLICK ! NOT AS HOT either !
@@mtntime1 Did you really mention Pat benatar and grace slick in the same sentence? Please
@@mtntime1 why can’t we just let people like who they want, not everything is a competition
A LEGEND,simply a LEGENDARY VOICE... Thank you,Grace,thank you !!
What a voice ... all time great !
She has a raw talent her voice always sounds good she never sounds bad and always steady
great voice , I would recognize it everywhere
GREAT to see this as I was there over to stage left. Was a long show and great to see Grace but actually this wasnt her last appearance to date. She sung again around the time of 9-11. Great show. Was VERY surprised to hear "Lawman" as I really like the rarely sung more obscure Grace songs.

i just love this womens voice love from wales uk
Really loving the piano tinkling thruout and the searing organs highs
I’m in love w this lady too,I’m a woman ! So beautiful then…that VOICE SHE KILLED IT! WE STILL LOVE YA though your a accomplished painter now!
Man she was crazy ass. What a voice. Just as loud & clear as it was 30 years before.
I love that album. if anybody hasn't heard that album, It's called "bark" give it a listen
I bought (stole?) the 8-track from Radio Shack when I was 12, along with Baron von Tollbooth and Lou Reed's Berlin.
I remember when I read the news story about this visit from the police, and I thought, "What? That's the lyrics to a song, not something that really happened!". Still blows my mind that she predicted the future like that.
All hail the Acid Rock Queen Grace Slick!
fuck you, calling her the acid queen..
@@glennhfriedman4571 queen of acid rock

That's what a snare drum needs to sound like live! 👍

Other than Janis the woman is the greatest female rock singer that ever lived....must have seen her over 30 times and loved every last one of them shows
You've forgotten Curved Air singer,Sonia Kristina...
I'd toss Linda Ronstadt in with Gracie and Janice. Three great rockers. No one could touch them then, and no one can touch them now.
Randy Coursey Ann Wilson? Stevie Nicks? Yea, no, not the greatest by far
@@kimgauthier4309
The above-mentioned women were much better. They paved the way for Stevie and Ann.
Randy Coursey No way. Not even in the same category.
Saw a young Grace and Jefferson Airplane at the Cheetah Club at the P.OP. pier in Santa Monica circa mid 1960's! Anyone remember that concert venue? What a magnificent performer and singer she was back then!
The Cheetah was formerly the Aragon Ballroom where Lawrence Welk filmed his show for over a decade!
First there is Grace, then there is everyone else.
I . having been to San Rafael California. I agree wholeheartedly.
Grace.... Her Voice Gives Me A Higher Power.....
One of the greats !
+rutabagasteu She outlived Janis Joplin.

Unfortunately those were the days when you did not have camera phones or any camera that could pick up pictures in low light. Great memory of just being there for the moment.
QuantumRift I know. I was alive back then.
At least you got to actually enjoy it. Don't need any picture to show how much fun you had.
What a great song to go out on. Bark is such a fine album.
Rock on forever, Grace...
Grace Slick, the original Ganstah!
still poignant and with a great voice. thanks for posting.
Love That Voice and Group !
What a stunning performance , Grace is on fire. Sadly she retired after this show.
grace stopped performing and started painting very successfully. she said old people should be heard and not seen and young people should be seen and not heard
That is sooooo true. And in some cultures it's always been that way.
Another golden quote: "I don't like old people flapping their wrinkles around on stage!"
Love that! There is so many snowflakes and soy boys it is sickening!
yea I remember that.......well, now I'm old!! i don't agree with that comment anymore
i used to play in her yard, and she was tolerant of me and my pals. this woman is is an american treasure. i can't think of anyone i could trust with the west coast. maybe not the utilities....
where was that ??
I love listening to Grace Slick
Grace called her singing "Controlled Yelling" -- I have ALWAYS had a crush on Grace...
I remember her back, when she started out in "Great Society" with Sally go round the roses!
THANK YOU PATRICIA,
MIKE
Grace will always be one of the best.
"I wrote this song before these police officers were born" made my day xD
Grace Slick was awesome maybe the best female vocal lead of all time
fuckin killer song and band GRACE ROCKS the last sexy rockers

This is NOT Grace's last appearance on stage = that was in 2001 with Paul's Jefferson Starship!
Love this! Saw Starship once and it was great! Looked like Jack! He didn’t play well in starship 😊
Marty Balin looks like he is having fun.
I always love you Grace
thanks for putting this together.
the laughter lets you know that smiling breaks the rules
Bark is a fair album. I like, and have, it.
Im a Christian but i still want Letting Go to be played at my funeral
She is the Slick!
Grace with a gun.......... HELL YEAH☮️❤️🙂
LOVELY LADY; when i meet her in las vegas 2000,older but still had them eyes,,,
Grace Slick was the attraction with Jefferson Airplane!
My god what a woman and a performance! There is no better than Gracie!!! Thank you for this video do u have any more with her?
God bless grace ❤❤❤❤
Back years ago when I read about her being arrested for pulling a gun on a cop, I could visualize her singing this song while the whole thing was going down.
Voice amazing !
a great voice..a legend ..
Its called Law Man....originally recorded on the Jefferson Airplane record "Bark" from 1971
love grace so much,love the album bark,and i think jefferson airplane is one of the greatest
I saw her and Mickey Thomas together with Jefferson Starship. Never saw two better singers and they had great chemistry! Grace had better stage presence than Mickey
No to the cheesy keyboards, no to the arena rock drum sound, no to the rushed tempo, I was never that fond of the lyrics. But even if the lyrics were questionable I still like the song becuz she sang it so well.
Grace sings it with Balls as usual! great 60's Fuck You song!
update: grace slick did guest with jefferson starship in SoCal 2-3 weeks after 9/11. she came on stage wearing a black burhka, then she threw it off showing a sash the said "F*** Fear" there are photos. i don't know about anything else though.....
Flash the sash... lol
We love you Grace
Great Find, Great song!
Anybody catch Jorma & Jack at Lockin this year?
They did an incredible version of this rarely played chestnut with Rachel Price on Vocals.
It was Sublime
I was on the catwalk on the side of the stage for the 50 reunion at Lockn' billed as Hot Tuna & Friends... loved Rachel Price singing this one, "Lawman" from Bark album! Jack Cassidy was a wild man that night!

She's great!
The ONE. The ONLY. Bravo!
