      True. There will never be a voice like hers on that record again.
      Nobody will sing it like her and anything else seems not good enough.
      I can listen to all kinds of covers of many songs and easily forgive any deviation but for some reason with this song it doesnt work. Its chiseled in my brain and eardrums.

    As a die-hard Jefferson Airplane fan, I’ll say that Rachel Price and these musicians did a terrific job . The high intensity isn’t easy to bring if you don’t have the voice to back it up, but these folks were great.
    I grew up in Southern California as a teenager in the’60’s and was privileged to be able to get to see a huge number of bands (we didn’t think about it being history, it’s just what we did at the time). The Airplane was / is my favorite. Always.

    Just came across this and was floored by the performance. Not many singers take this song on and Rachael Price put a wonderful spin on the song which I will enjoy many times. As with most classic pieces of vocals, no one seems to do it better than the singer who made it happen and Slick has a well deserved unique place, but it's nice to have a second take on a song I grew up with. Well done.

    incredible crescendo. perfect slow ride up the mountain and ultimate explosive climax. don't want to compare it to the legend of Grace Slick. But, Rachael stands on her own and her version has her own greatness infused in it. It leaves you wanting for nothinng. Grace's is riveting and piercing. Rachael's is riveting but not as piercing, slightly softer, creamier and melodic. Grace already gave us the message loud and clear. Rachael softened the blow, just a tad. I could listen to both of them again and again.

    I was lucky to have seen her sing this on Live From Here with Chris Thile live from St. Paul. The theatre was electrified. Heard her and Madison Cunningham on those shows a few times and have adored each since. That show featured so many other great artists I was fortunate to see as well; John Baptiste, Emily King, the Avett Bros, Andrew Bird, Marcus Mumford, Chris Stapleton, Dr. Dog and Paul Simon. I miss that program and the live music so much.
