    I remember seeing this aired originally. Thought Grace was so cool just standing there belting out the song, especially the first, White Rabbit. Stone cold. Later in an interview she said she was frozen scared and it took both songs before she started to loosen up. Perceptions. Still, her standing there motionlessly singing with defiant eyes defines cool for me.

      ⁠@@andrelinoge4340There is a Heaven, at least to me. My mother had an NDE as a 10 year old. I’m not kidding when I tell you she told me and my siblings this story weekly throughout our childhoods and way beyond because she wanted us to know there was something greater than us all out there. She was sick and bed ridden for 3 years with Rheumatic Fever. It was back in 1933. They didn’t have access to antibiotics or doctors for that matter. Plus, it was the Great Depression, and boy they were dirt poor, along with the rest of the country. She was given the last rights of the Church 3 times. On the third time, she said she went to Heaven and walked with Jesus down the Valley of the Shadow of Death. She described every single thing they did and saw. It never wavered. He then told her it just wasn’t quite her time yet, and He was sending her back to her mommy and daddy. The next morning she woke up fever free for the first time in 3 YEARS. I know you’re shaking your head, rolling your eyes 👀, laughing, all the while thinking “this lady is off her rocker” 😂. It’s the way an Atheist would react and is fine with me. We all have our own beliefs. We are all here to learn human life lessons that we take with us when leave this physical world. Maybe being an Atheist is one of your life lessons. We all have free will to do, say, feel or think whatever we want. But at the end of the day, when it’s our time to leave the physical world the Big Guy in the Sky will be there to welcome you home with love because God is pure love, light, peace, understanding and forgiveness. You’ll be just fine when it’s your time. Hopefully, we won’t see him anytime in the near future. 🙏🛐😳😵‍💫🥶😱💀✌️☮️😉

    The Airplane in its prime...I adored Grace Slick...Had her picture on my wall as a teenager...but she wasn't just a pretty face. In my opinion she was, at least for a while, the most impressive female vocalist in rock. Surrealistic Pillow has got to be right up there with Sergeant Pepper as the greatest...and most influential...album of 1967.

But let me tell you something, they were f’n INCREDIBLE in concert. Grace is one of “the” premier female voices in Rock history. How you heard her voice in the clip is exactly what you got in concert. They started in 1965 and went on until @72/73. They parted, but in 74 regrouped as Jefferson Starship and continued on, having multiple hits, through the mid 80’s. She is 84 now 😮😳😵‍💫!!

      This was live television. No post-production editing or going over the allotted time, because they have to get to their sponsor's air time (i.e., commercials). Look at 7:58, he looks at his producer sensitive to how much clock he has left. I think Ryan Seacrest would be able to pull this off to just as smoothly, but not many others could.

    This was one of the last "Bandstand" episodes taped and broadcast in black-and-white.
    The show "went color" in September of 1967; it was the last show (apart from some black-and-white reruns and occasional old movies) on network TV to be broadcast in black-and-white.

    • @brucebreshears1694

      I was wondering about why this wasn't in "living color." The TV networks started full color broadcasting schedules in the fall 1966 season. The video said June 3, 1967 and that would have been at the end of the 1st full season of color broadcasting. I guess the transition costs for all the different studios took time to get everyone updated to color equipment and production???

    What an Era just so much talent. Grace Slick has such a powerful voice it goes right through your soul. White Rabbit the Ultimate psychedelic song. Doctors are now seeing what drugs in micro doses like DMT are beneficial to the brain making brain neurons grow more studying must be done on it but there is something to it. Rock and Roll lives eternally with these archives. Dick Clark like a teen forever.
