Everything that The Airplane has ever performed will forever gleam straight through the Universe and beyond. All of it. Just look at Grace She is feeling it. Armadillo!!
THIS. It's like sheer psychedelic rock and roll perfection!! Paul starting the quick tempo chords and good vocals, grace with good harmonies and ad libs, Jack totally driving away.. He goes through so many types of playing before, during, and after his solo. (Listen to his complex riffs during jormas solo, it provides a wildness to the performance) When they close up to how fast he's running the frets it's insane!! Jorma perfect rock sound and killing it with his aggressive strumming. Marty is so aggressively hitting the tambourine, it's awesome and he has the awesome wild vibrato that he does. They all do so well at building rising action at their transitions and at the end where they are all jamming at 100% and 3 vox and it's so intense and somehow still sounds AMAZING. 🔥🔥 Last, but not least: Spencer Dryden is an absolute machine(!!) Not only does he keep in time with Jack, but masterfully adjusts to all the impromptu transitions. Plus, when there's long solos, he's basically doing a drum solo through it all!! What stamina. 🤘🏻
That is the single greatest Jefferson Airplane video I've ever seen. Pooneil is also one of my favorite songs. When I've listened to them all my life this is what I've seen in my head -- but now that's real? On CZcams? I'm stunned that was so effing cool.
I worked shows with the Airplane in NY from '68 until about '75....... Over 100 sets ( a Fillmore weekend was 4 sets). This is one of the best glimpses of them live. Casady was the driver. In this tape, you see Grace just standing in front of him, taking in the message. Jack used to walk from one performer to the next, face them, not the audience, and have those eyebrows go up and down above the shades, saying, THIS is where it's going! It was one hell of a ride to be there.
In 1966 there was a house band at the Fillmore West called Jefferson Airplane. Their female lead singer had quit, gone off to have and raise her baby. The Airplane needed a singer. There were a couple of other house bands. One was Big Brother and Janis Joplin. The Airplane doubted that they could work with Joplin. The other house band was called Great Society, with lead singer Grace Slick. Grace agreed to join them, bought a few of her own songs, one of which was "White Rabbit". And the world has not been the same since.
and her name was grace wing.. and she was a model.. played recorder, guitar and keyboards. darby slick, guitarist, for great society, penned somebody to love. tha anthem of the summer of love and the woodstock generation.. her voice in that tune could cut through Steel I Beams. Marty B. rented the pizza joint and they named it the Matrix.. it was a place to jam, for those bands, that would become the sanfrancisco psycadelic music scene. charlatans were first.
It just was called the Fillmore Auditorium. The Fillmore East opened in 1968. Bill Graham shut down the Fillmore Auditorium. He renamed the Carousel Ballroom to be “Fillmore West.”
The band at the peak of their powers. Acid, & revolution for love. You can call them dreamers (as Lennon said) they are still not the only ones. And Grace was always as gorgeous as she was talented and VERY intellectual! And Jack was a monster bass player! A FORCE OF NATURE!! ha ha ha
I was just a child in 1970 and would give anything to have been of age during this time, to have witnessed the Airplane live and to have been a part of the youth from those times, it was heaven for but a little while, (Hunter s. Thompson) we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. . . . So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark-that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back
The best laugh ever recorded ends the little ditty that includes ". . .he's a peninsula" from After Bathing at Baxters. Still my favorite Airplane album. For those whose Airplane lifted off with Surrealistic Pillow, check out Takes Off, their debut folk-rock album. Listen to Chauffer's Blues and imagine if both Signe and Grace were belting out together. Saw them in Berkeley for Casady's debut with the band in 1965! Still have the poster and ticket stubs. Lifelong fan. When Bill Graham would introduce the individual band members, Casady always got the loudest ovation. What other bass players were so revered?
Bless it's pointed little head is easily one of the best live recordings of rock ever made...Casady on side two with Other side of this life intro is unforgettable.
This embodies the San Francisco ( LSD) sound better than anything I can think of, with the possible exception of, " anthem of the sun ", by the, dead, or " electric music for the mind and body", by cj& the fish . wow!
... R.I.P. Paul Kantner R.I.P. Joey Covington ... i took many "trips" on your Airplane, TransLove Airways. nobody comes close to Jacks bass playing, Graces' voice can cut thru steel. Jormas' playing icing on the cake, Marty the mastermind. ..... aye mates I sorely did embarrassed myself by forgetting Spencer sorry it took so long to correct the blunder. ... 🤭
I was just thinking before I saw this that Jefferson Airplane or Starship w/o Grace's voice is just not the same! She has a very distinctive tone, which - as you say - "can cut thru steel." It's one of the hallmarks of the band's sound!
Watching this video it's easy to see Jack and Jorma splitting the Airplane to become Hot Tuna. They played the ballroom at my college in 1980, 500 people in the audience, no chairs, just the dance floor. They played an acoustic first set, about an hour, then rocked out on electric for a 2.5 hour 2nd set. Those boys loved to play. Oh, and Eddie Grant opened for them.
It amazing they could sing in tune at all, being they played so loud on stage back then and the vocal monitors weren't that great. Jack Cassidy is and was a great bass player. Monster tone and very percussive with his finger picking.
Spencer leaving the band was the start of Jefferson Airplane's end, they never managed to make a record as great as Surrealistic Pillow, After Bathing at Baxter's, Crown of Creation and Volunteers. Not to mention the terrible reunion album they did without Spencer Dryden.
Jefferson Airplane, still the best when tripping on LSD. You can really feel the tune and the magic of that moment, you can feel the LSD and mushrooms in the music, you learn to know that this music is made for LSD and other psychedelics .. all you psychonauts should know :P Simply AMAZING, no words could eben try to decribe it
Those heavy; groovy bass lines Jack is laying down; think I’ve died and gone to psychedelic 60’s heaven. Jack and Jorma weaving in and out of each other…whew!!
go to 5:12 if you want to see clearly why the Airplane's sound was so special. I don't think you could find two guitarists that were so different but could still work perfectly well with each other. And of course, Jack's bass played a huge part too.
1968 in Hamburg, Airplane were my first rock concert ever. So turned me on! Never tried trips, I guess I got something genetic instead. My drug experience was catastrophic. Music is my drug.
Thanks for this. This is awesome evidence of the early days' energy and creativity of the psychedelic 60's San Francisco. An amazing document of those salad days!
Actually, we didn't eat much salad back then. We weren't that diet conscious. In most restaurants ordering an entree, you had a choice between soup and salad. I always chose the soup, because I knew that the salad was simply lettuce with a few shreds of carrot if you were lucky.
Two of the greatest and most influential bass players came out of San Francisco at around the same time. One was Larry Graham Jr. of Sly and the Family Stone, who helped popularize thumping. The other was Jack, who gave the Airplane their unique sound. I wonder how much of an influence those two were on each other. It would have been interesting to hear them talk shop.
+Brian Washington Great insight. I have played bass for 48 years, many gigs over the years. I once ran into Bootsie Collins, around 2008, and I asked him if he listened much to Larry Graham back in the day, like I did. And his eyes got big, and his smile got huge, and he started saying Larry Graham, Larry Graham over and over. And then he spoke about how much he learned from Larry Graham and how he tried to imitate him. And this is the guy who played on Sex Machine. The pros know. And Jack Casady was in the same category for psychedelic jam rock bass. He started it, he defined it, and yes, he carried the sound of the band. They both did.
+Brian Washington I always thought it was the harmonic blending of the singing that gave them that unique sound. That's not to say that Jack was not important to the sound. Let's just call all of them great.
It's interesting how far reaching their influences were. Anthony Jackson, a bassist absolutely at the top of the field, cites Casady as one of his major influences and his inspiration for playing with a pick.
I remember this doing the rounds on a bootleg in the mid 70s It's still the track I play people who doubt what a wonderful band they could be. Poor old Marty sidelined though. Love the creative dancing as well!!
They are great because they listen to each other. Grace watching Jack's whole solo, you can tell she's really interested in where he's going. Marty at the end, holding his mic out to pick up the sound of the cymbals. They are paying attention to each other.
wow, ok, memories, really, jorma is doing great, and the entire band is rocking, needed some more gracie, but wow, thnaks for this, wow, had not seen it before
Lyrics expressed counter culture norms and values of the period ...If only there was that genuine passion for social Change now....why can't we go on as three ...peace n love guys ...keep the spirit in you or outside you or is it around you
Right. The song was released as a single in 1967, and then released on "After Bathing at Baxter's" later that year. This recording is from 1970, but (having said that) seems to have more in common with the 1967 live version than the 1967 studio version did - the Wikipedia article on the song says that the Airplane was including both Jorma's and Jack's instrumental lead parts in live performances before the single was released.
Paul Kantner introduced Won't you try/Sat.afternoon at the Aragon in Chicago. He was breaking Jack Casady's balls when he said "I hope our bassist gets the intro right" the guy was mind blowing on that bass fretboard.Far out✌🏼
Too bad we never get to see an extended shot of Jorma, Jack, and Spencer working out as the power trio within the group. But listening without visuals is just as good too like the incredible, The Other Side Of This Life, from Bless It's Pointed Little Head. Spare Chyange from Baxters' is also so great the way it starts out so beautifully moody and works up from there.
This song was about Freddy Neil. Great song writer with a deep voice. Check him out. He wrote 'Everybody's Talkin' at Me,' but I also recommend 'That's the Bag I'm In," and "I've Got a Secret (Didn't We Shake Sugaree).
I love the mess of the Jefferson airplane, it’s so many people playing the same song but they are all different human beings and it’s messy and wonderful
Kantner was all business as usual here (in spite of the camera basically ignoring him) This is one of his numbers and he is terrific here.
Jack Casady's best solo hands down, Jorma's turn is killer too and Grace observing it all - I still LOVE this band
>> DITTO ! and its 20 bloody 23! Rools!
@@grandcrowdadforde6127 And Hot Tuna is still performing.
Everything that The Airplane has ever performed will forever gleam straight through the Universe and beyond. All of it. Just look at Grace She is feeling it. Armadillo!!
@@robertdonohoe9766 When she was around 8 months pregnant saw them at Fillmore West and when she rested what became Hot Tuna would play....

YOu're right. Dryden's drumming is outstanding.

This and them performing The House at Pooneil Corners on a New York roof (a whole year before The Beatles).
I worked shows with the Airplane in NY from '68 until about '75....... Over 100 sets ( a Fillmore weekend was 4 sets). This is one of the best glimpses of them live.
Casady was the driver. In this tape, you see Grace just standing in front of him, taking in the message. Jack used to walk from one performer to the next, face them, not the audience, and have those eyebrows go up and down above the shades, saying, THIS is where it's going!
It was one hell of a ride to be there.
Thanks for the skinny on that. Would never have known o/w.
That era of acid rock /blues /country ...every other whatever man
@P'tit Paysan I agree, CAN is a good contender
Thanks for sharing! I wish woodstock version of this song could be available on video
Jack always drove them, particularly live, as Pointed Head gives ample proof of.
Jack Casady ROCKS!!! One of the greatest bassists ever :-)
Stacey Smith the greatest
Who is Stacey Smith?
Stacey Smith is I... Noone you know hehe
Have a good day Glenn Martin
Jacks friend Phil lush is the best.
Somehow makes me remind Glenn Cornick.
Just a bunch of young people gettin' their groove on.
With no idea what legends ALL of them would become.

One young gal had a crush on one member but got a ride home with another. ="Young Girl..." She married an guy who became an ambassador to Israel.
It just was called the Fillmore Auditorium. The Fillmore East opened in 1968. Bill Graham shut down the Fillmore Auditorium. He renamed the Carousel Ballroom to be “Fillmore West.”
Jack really embodied the hippie look and vibe, 2:30. And nobody could play like he did. Incredible.
How many guys could take such a mesmerizing bass solo and have it be the musical highlight of the songs? A very, very short list.
Okay so I have heard this a million times and I am still so impressed'
The band at the peak of their powers. Acid, & revolution for love. You can call them dreamers (as Lennon said) they are still not the only ones. And Grace was always as gorgeous as she was talented and VERY intellectual! And Jack was a monster bass player! A FORCE OF NATURE!! ha ha ha

Jack's playing is such a driving force. You could even say his was the lead instrument.
Grace, you would be a reason to be reborn! Magic!
Jefferson Airplane was the best rock band ever.
Still rocking out to the Jefferson Airplane in 2024🎤🎸🥁
....No man is an island...he's a peninsula.

RIP Paul Kantner, so sorry to see you go. Thanks for all the tremendous music.
I'd say the band was tripping balls that night. Brilliant!
LOL I was gonna say, Everyone on that stage is completely fkn cooked ....
@@groofoot Cooked n Baked :)
you never knew with the Airplane - they could capture the essence of tripping without touching a tab
Naw; it’s just the way this was filmed 😂.
This is the quintessential Airplane song off the best album they ever did.
Love this song (plus Rejoyce, Two Heads & Martha) but think that so much of the rest of Baxter's is knocked off. I prefer the previous 2 LPs.
A most quintessential Armadillo sort of a song, huh? :)
So very true. It makes me feel so very fuc*ing good. Always has.
this isn't from Surrealistic Pillow.
@@tinkercrab11 🙌gotcha.
When a group plays as one you have greatness. Marty wonderful writer and vocalist.
Absolutely the best live band of all time. You would have had to be there. And I was
The bolt of feedback that opens After Bathing At Baxters' was a brilliant way to set the mood.
So glad we still have Jorma and Jack with us. I hope someday some band will come along and keep Airplane music alive like they have done The Dead.
I LOVE JACKS SOLO--HE'S STILL A BAD ASS
This embodies the San Francisco ( LSD) sound better than anything I can think of, with the possible exception of, " anthem of the sun ", by the, dead, or " electric music for the mind and body", by cj& the fish . wow!
Still My Favorite Band of ALL TIME!!!!
Such a great band! All you hear on radio is two songs but, never anything like this. This is such a good rocker with prog overtones. Downright groovy.
There was a reason Jimi asked JC to join.............
Wow, che gran bassista che era Jack Casady, uno dei più grandi e sottovalutati bassisti....
... R.I.P. Paul Kantner R.I.P. Joey Covington ... i took many "trips" on your Airplane, TransLove Airways. nobody comes close to Jacks bass playing, Graces' voice can cut thru steel. Jormas' playing icing on the cake, Marty the mastermind. ..... aye mates I sorely did embarrassed myself by forgetting Spencer sorry it took so long to correct the blunder. ... 🤭

55 years ago and an excellent performance at that!
Kantner, Cassidy, Kaukonen, Dryden , and the rest......Great stuff!
Casady.
superb, simply superb, they did this track at monterey too but sadly not included in the film, big respect and many thanks
Great song, and I agree with Melody Bean, Grace is beautiful! I love her singing and voice too.
saw them dozens of times. Never was disappointed. This would have been an ass-kicker to see in person...
Grace is a goddess!!!
I absolutely love their "harmonies". They shouldn't work but do, much like The Band, and Big Brother and the Holding Company.
Love the Jack Cassidy bass solo starting around 1:51
It amazing they could sing in tune at all, being they played so loud on stage back then and the vocal monitors weren't that great. Jack Cassidy is and was a great bass player. Monster tone and very percussive with his finger picking.
I love these videos when they are live
awesome bass solo~!
Jack is the best...hands down. And Spencer Dryden had no peer.
This video is all the proof you'll ever need that Spencer Dryden was the only drummer for this band.
Spencer leaving the band was the start of Jefferson Airplane's end, they never managed to make a record as great as Surrealistic Pillow, After Bathing at Baxter's, Crown of Creation and Volunteers. Not to mention the terrible reunion album they did without Spencer Dryden.

Love it !!! Best nights, JA at the Fillmore East. Anybody have a time machine they can lend me? This is the next best thing though.
When they were on they made the walls crumble.
This is jack n jorma song. Love how grace is mesmerized watching jack cook. And jorma took off like a rocket. Great version

It was written by Paul Kantner... Last Wall Of The Castle was written by Jorma Kaukonen instead. :D
Too bad we never get to see an extended shot of Jorma, Jack, and Spencer working out as the power trio within the group. But listening without visuals is just as good too like the incredible, The Other Side Of This Life, from Bless It's Pointed Little Head. Spare Chyange from Baxters' is also so great the way it starts out so beautifully moody and works up from there.

The intro says it was recorded at the Family Dog in 1970.
Still amazes

I love the mess of the Jefferson airplane, it’s so many people playing the same song but they are all different human beings and it’s messy and wonderful
Did a lot of acid to this album fifty something years ago. Still love the Airplane, in my top five bands of the 60s. Doors the best.

Omg grace is so fucken beautifull!!!
And I think everyone is fucked up on this one. What a great show.
genial ese bajo :)
