Man I was 18 watching this. The nostalgia is thick. Guests and hosts not choking on politics, say whatever you want, people are genuinely funny. Geez the 80’s seems like a lifetime ago
The eighties, only yesterday. That ole' serpent has sure screwed up the world, again. Time for a reset, cause nowadays it sure is hard to enjoy a day without hearing all the crap.
80's were the Best!!! Seems just like Yesterday.
I was 18 also, totally agree🤟
@@toddolson573 yep! Not joking or being sarcastic or anything, but I am enjoying watching Little House, and Knight rider with my 8 year old. He loves it, and always asked me when are we going to watch them.
The 70s and 80s were the best of times for me, except for right now while I enjoy seeing my son so exited about life!
@@jeremyc9229 LOL I'm watching Little House with my 16 year old daughter. Isn't it great?
I love Grace Slick. She doesn't sugar coat anything. She just tells it like it is!!
Brutally honest with a hint of sarcasm. I like it.
As it should be...
And she looks great doing it!
Grace is NEVER boring.
No she isn't.
Kirk Barkley,
She’s one of the nicest strongest iconic sounding influential people on Earth 🌍!
She couldn't be boring, if she tried.
@@PhukIT1865 couldn't agree more
The energy this woman had is transfixing. Hard to imagine her sitting still thru hair and makeup. This clip... the band, her off the cuff and starkly honest commentary and then the fountain and lighting show! So much going on in a few minutes while David tries to steer the wild ride with glee. Authentic. Oh, the hair and earrings, stunning!
If anyone hasn’t seen the CZcams video of her singing White Rabbit with no music, just her vocal part.....you don’t know what your missing! What an incredible voice!
I've listened to that many times.
Powerhouse
Man, she's just the best. Honest and extremely intelligent. I love her interviews.
Always
Over 20 years of the hard, wild R 'n' R life at this point, and Grace is still sharp, witty, articulate and gorgeous! Dammit girl! One of the finest ladies ever in the music biz. And down to earth real with no fat head...I think she'd chew up & spit out any of today's pompous, self-grandizing women in rock!
Absolutely, everything You just said
There's only one thing to say about GRACE. SHE ROCKS.
Wonderful witty lady ! I love her, and she has one of the most amazing voice ever !!!
Banatar, Wilson, Nicks....Them ladies didn´t mess around when it came to their craft.
Her voice. Oh my goodness, whether she's singing or speaking it's just tremendous.
Amazing how Grace Slick was so graceful and such a down to earth female rock star singer!
Hello Jean, How are you doing?
Fun interview, 200x better than what passes for late night talk shows now👍
She is such an awesome guest as she is so honest and doesnt give a crap what people think, she says what she wants. She is ALWAYS entertaining and brilliant.
Your avatar is a baphomet star ; it is Satanic !🤒
She has always been something else. Lol. Witty, smart, sarcastic, and fun loving. One of a kind artist and human!
I've seen a couple of interviews with Grace which convinced me that she was the smartest woman in rock and roll.
I had never heard her interviewed before. That was great. Simple. Honest. Real.
Gosh she has so much personality
Fantastic singer. We love you still. You are a legend
Grace is so clever, a great person to interview. So many stories to tell. I love this woman! I can still see her on the album Surrealistic Pillow. So damn beautiful she was. She could have made it as a model, easy!
She is always a great interview.
@norman green
It's all you ever talk about it norm
Her autobiography is one my favorites of all time. Crazy life and unapologetic.
one of my favorite memoirs - funny as hell.
Canr wait to get it😊
Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now is such an 80s anthem. So underrated.
It's pop listen to Crown of Creation ✌✌
@@donlofting4268 AOR
Meh......
how is it underrated?
Grace is always gorgeous and awesome!!
she's such a delight!!!!!
Ha! I remember her daughter (she's my age). Everybody totally loved her daughter back then. She looks just like Grace, but very thin and very blonde. Haven't seen her in years, hope she's living the good life.
This was the day I was born.
I may be a bit unusual in that I really like both Airplane AND Starship!
well jefferson starship at least first few albums arent all that different
No but I'm sure you're unusual for so many other reasons ☺
me too
Jefferson Starship and Airplane is the same band. They just changed the name from Airplane to Starship. Any 80's people know that.
Starship was a reformation with new members after Jorma and Cassady left Jefferson Airplane.
I wish late night was still like this. . .
Late Night died years ago.
Nothing but talentless hosts today.
I don't find any of them truly funny the way Dave was funny. Plus, there so many ads during current talk shows that there's barely time to talk. Or, be funny.
Grace Slick has a great voice and is reminiscent of Woodstock with some classic songs . Tremendous talent.
My daughter never heard of Woodstock 😮
@@tamerahedman2279 I was 7 years old when Woodstock occurred.
She sang White Rabbit at Woodstock!
Loved Jefferson Airplane! Real Rock and Roll!!
More interesting that I'd have imagined. Glad I watched.
Grace with the original Airplane was an incredible band. Marty, Jorma, Jack, & Paul. Acid Rock, Blues, & Folk. They did it all and they did it well.
Rip Marty. Grace it’s been a pleasure to share the ages with your music. ❤️
One of, if not thee most intelligent and creative/artistic female rock musicians in history folks.
Grace Slick is one fantastic singer!
Well you make me feel so good by listening to your comment, Hello how are you doing
Grace always a terrific guest. Dave had her on several times.
Her two previous appearances uploaded here:

Grace Slick on Late Night, February 6, 1984 -- czcams.com/video/fXemZb3Y1Dw/video.html
Gotta love it, the 60s icon with the big 80s haircut.
What's to me is that she hated Starship.
Thanks.
She has beautiful hair though.
Those huge earrings! One of my fav things about the 80’s!!!
80s hair in the 80s? Holy cow who'd have thought?
Omg Grace Slick looks fabulous with that iconic 80s hairstyle. Those times were the best imo.
One of the all-time great powerhouse rock singers. As iconic as it gets.
“Alright friends, you have seen the heavy groups, now you will see morning maniac music, believe ... Grace Slick ☮️
She cracks me up!!! She just says whatever spontaneously comes into her head, LOL
One of the best voices in rock! Love GS / JA
I would have loved if Grace had her own talk show....I find her very intelligent and entertaining!
Intelligent? You have low standards my friend.
George Penwell
And you must be one of those people who label anything they disagree with as "stupid". I label people like you as stupid.
Kirk Moore Nice one Kirk.
Look how quickly that time went by! I remember this like it was a few years ago. 1987! 🤔🙄
I was overseas in Germany. This is the first time I have seen this. Grace Slick you were absolutely beautiful. It's to bad that I was overseas in Germany. I love the Jefferson starship while I was stationed in Ft. Lewis, Washington. I loved the 80's. I spent half of them overseas. When I came back from Korea and I was listening to Jefferson Starship and I was told that the songs were released in 1984 and it was 1985 in the spring time when I first heard the songs. My friends asked me what rock have I been under. I told them that I never heard anything that recent while I was in Korea and I was 20-30 minutes from North Korea. Then they shut up. Yeah people freedom is not free.
She’s 48 here and looks remarkable, considering she lived through the 60’s insanity.
She didn't see too many rabbits.
Dude, everyone looks great in their 40ies, but she would be in her 70ies now!
No dough she was great!
So was Stevie Nix, Janis Joplin. That was the era!
@@debbiewheat2573 she was born in 1939, so she’ll be 82 in October.
Agree, first thing I noticed.
She's look every day her 48. That's no bad thing, but don't talk crap
Grace is totally “Slick”!! I have always loved this lady! Dave had her on his show so many times, and I think it was because he enjoyed her witty humor and because the audience totally loved her!! God Bless this beautiful, talented lady.
I love those American types, I'm practicing by saying, awesome, wow fantastic, fxck, shxt, forgetabout it, every morning bub 👍😂oh and getoutahere 😃, it's great 😆!!
I’ll never forget watching Grace perform with Jefferson Airplane at a club in Hollywood. After playing one of their hits, Grace lifted her dress and said “ Merry Christmas” everybody. Of course she was naked underneath 🤪
She bared a boob in CREEM , a now out of publication teen rock magazine
Grace just seemed to take life as it came, Not too seriously. Yet she became one of the greats of Rock and Roll.
I saw the Airplane in at two shows in Honolulu in 68' . The first was at the H.I.C.,( Honolulu International Center), and the next day they performed a free show at the Waikiki Shell out door venue, Hollywood Bowl style, and I was front and center there. Had a close look at Ms. Slick in the Hawaiian sunshine and she looked fantastic. The night before she wore her hair down as we always see her but at the outside event she wore an afro, red no less. Not gaudy, flamboyant red, but subdued, muted red. Probably a wig, I don't know, doesn't matter but have never seen her dawn that look again. This by the way was my second rock concert ever. The first was the night before, yeah baby, 12 years old, YIKES !
Jeeze I love her, she seems really sincere and while she wants to be liked by the audience, it doesn't seem like she's acting or playing to the crowd.
Grace was looking very good in the 80's. Wow surprise the heck out of me
To be honest, I wasn't a big fan of Jefferson Airplane or Starship, but I LOVE Grace Slick! I think she is fabulous!!
she's a throw back to the tough broad era, you see that a lot with women who have to make it in a male dominated business.
She's a no talent drunk who only hit the big time because in the late 60s that sold until everybody got sober!
@James Brice She wrote "White Rabbit" and her husband or brother-in--law wrote the other. She's a great singer, although seeing her live eight times, I have to admit that her drinking ruined two of those performances.
Andy Leibrook Come on, man, she’s considered one of the finest female rock singers of all time. Top 10 for sure.
I don’t know about her addiction, but how many musicians and artists have had addictions? Charlie Parker being a junkie doesn’t make him any less of a talent. And this is coming from a former junkie.
wendy pearson For sure. When a guy does it, it’s lauded as “rock star excess” and “boys being boys,” but when a woman does it, she’s a “no talent drunk.”
Shit, life’s hard, and I know touring all the time and the pressures of stardom are massive. I can see why they’d resort to drink or drugs.
@wendy pearson Yep, I get it. I'm an addict in recovery, so I know about the temptation. It's not easy.
WOW--I had NO idea she was a brilliant and sharp woman--HYSTERICAL
Absolutely loved Grace hope she's doing great.
I think she became an artist on the central coast Cali
OH MY LORD WHAT A JAM just what i needed YES my friend thnx for the upload
Wow! Grace totally took control of this segment and made it nonstop fun & interesting. Dave should've just gone for a coffee break.
My favorite song from Jefferson Airplane was "White Rabbit'.
She is just real beyond all get out! Love her!
She really was super intelligent and quick. I have a Dick Cavett show recording of Jefferson Airplane the day after they played at Woodstock in 1969 and she was the same then.
She couldn't remember Dick Cavett's name lol. Called him Jim. He got her back by calling her Miss Joplin
plz consider putting that recording online !
An original. She and RONSTADT - different vibes but honest with no pretentious selfish BS. Great ladies from back in the daze.
linda didn't write shit though !
@no yes Hear, hear!!
@no yes Agreed. She is great too.
She's been on Letterman several times, and you can tell she appreciates his sense of humor and approach.
Nobody reads my descriptions.
Damn, Grace Slick was funny as any rocker from the sixties could be. That was awesome, thanks Don Giller for uploading this!
Clever, sharp. The same old Grace Slick. Talented.
So quick and witty
my favorite female rock singer
Those Eyes!!
She's like 50 years old here. Looked fantastic!! Love her " sass." She's quite intelligent. .
She is age 47 mid 1987
No. Maybe 42
Born in 1939.
48
One of my favourite rockers!🤟
Im so in love with her! She is incredible, beautiful, funny, so engaging and so open. And it's really a shame that she didn't sing, because she has one of the most incredible voices in all of music history. But she was so friendly and affable and fantastic it doesn't really matter. One of the best guests that he ever had, one of the best interviews that he ever had!
Grace is a class act and so witty!!
Oh, the 80’s! Big hair & even bigger personality. I love this gal. Her talent is unlimited. Didn’t she know when to retire. She felt that old rockers look silly & I agree with her.
I really wish she had continued with Starship. She has an amazing voice!
She was soooo beautiful at Woodstock
Grace you still rock!!!!
"Its truncated." 'No its WRONG is what it is!' LOL, I love it.
Watching this now in ‘21 shes 81
Yes I do agree with you,hello how are you doing
In 2015 when in San Fran I noticed the opening night of an exhibition of her paintings at a gallery next to the St. Francis Hotel (a lot of white rabbit imagery, strangely enough :)
Grace is cool and funny. I sat at her feet on the stage when they played the free concert in Grant Park in Chicago in 1968. She put her empty Budweiser beer can down on the stage, and I took it and had it for years.
In the 60s anyone of us would trade in for Grace in a heartbeat.......
Grace Slick is sparkling!!!
She’s so great ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely LOVE Gracie. Me and about 200 million other men. Even still as she's now in her 70's. To say she rocked...
Why only 200 ? Just here in Europe we're 400 millions !
@@maurizioy7266 Good point! Atta Boy!
She’s 81 years old, she was born in 1939.
@@itwasntmeboningbivvy181 ...and when I wrote that she was in her 70's.
Love Grace and Letterman. Spontaneous and sarcastic!!!!
Man, I miss the days of great late night entertainment.... Miss ya Dave
The great days of late night were over by Dave’s time.
Where is he?
She still has my love!
Lovely point you make hello how are you doing
Love looking at American tv from the 80s-the hairstyles always cheer me up!
Grace Slick the best female singer of all time. She can still kick ass.
luv that
She was so gorgeous.
Today, (October 30 ,2020) , the beautiful Grace Slick celebrates her 81st birthday.
Happy Birthday, Grace 🐰✌❤
Wow
Time to get out the needle. She said in an interview one I either saw or read that she wants to die from one big blast in her arm. That was the most brillant thing I ever heard🤬
What an awesome, cool lady.
I have always been a huge Grace Slick fan.
Just watched her 1983 interview with Letterman. He seemed a bit bewildered compared to this one. Here, he's a bit more... erm, slick?! Grace is very funny, and should have had her own show.
She's a rock star not Conan.
shoutout to anton fig .. man i sure dug that first ace frehley solo album (78) for a while
and letterman was religion to me in the late 80s early 90s
Always loved Grace...she is fantastique!
She's definitely an Alpha something.....she has such a strong personality.
GRACE SLICK. NO WORDS
never heard of Jeff Airplane before Grace joined the group. She was the voice of the the group.
Groovy. Man 1969. I was 5 years old Man I wish I was there at Woodstock. Biggest music event with real music. !!!! Groovy. Never can something go on because of so many rules. Rock Woodstock forever!!!!!
Nice comment Hello how are you doing
The great Grace Slick!
Nice one you make and I do agree with you as well, Hello how are you doing
She is delightful
Queen of Rock!
they call Freddie 'The Queen of Rock'
Grace is called the Queen of Acid. Tina was the Queen of Soul.
@@chrisbarr1359 GRACE SANG ROCK AND ROLL BEFORE all these bitches ! TINA was still SOUL/BLUES
@James Brice grace was rock and roll before TINA, tina was soul and blues back then
