The vocal harmonies and duets of Grace and Marty get lots of love, but the seamless vocal blending of Grace and Paul Kantner is magical and iconic as well.
This song has meant so much to me all my life. Bought Baxter's when it came out when I was a teenager. 70 years old now and it means even more. We are losing them all. Their like will never be seen again. What a sad world now. It seemed anything was possible back them.
agree. i was 12 when my parent's got me Baxter's for Christmas. i was too young to be a full-fledged hippie but there was still magic in the times and music of the era. thank you Jefferson Airplane.
Not enough credit goes to how Jack’s brilliant bass playing holds all this flying Airplane together. And, you can watch him and tell he’s f#*king serious about the music.
Nowadays these young so called singers and artists can’t even drink without getting crazy and breaking everything, and can’t make any good music. Look at the Jeffersons, if they were really high as people claim, didn’t matters, look at the high quality of musicianship they display. In sync, with themselves and with fellow bandmasters. Just beautiful.
just heard the really sad news about the passing of Marty Balin..He was a brilliant pairing with Grace Slick, It's No Secret, Saturday Afternoon,Today, Wont You Try..perfect examples of the beautiful vocal cohesion they shared. I was so very, very fortunate to interview Grace Slick a few years ago. I commended her performance of this song, despite what Grace said about they shouldn't have gone on because in her words, they were tired, stoned, etc etc from being up all night....I begged to differ with her and told her that this cut from Woodstock, she looked radiant and the band really nailed it. The passing of time is the best judge and this song remains a psychedelic gem, brilliantly performed at one of rock's most significant moments. Grace also told me about how Marty didn't take too kindly to the Hells Angels at Altamont, describing Marty as being just like her as in being "stubborn" hehe..I really do feel for her today and for the remaining members of Jefferson Airplane and their families and friends. Also the fans...we loved you Marty Balin..and will continue to love your music until we to, join you..Rest in Peace Marty Balin....
This is real music...not the shit we have nowadays.Back in the 70's I"ve smoked a lotta of grass & listened to this kind of stuff.I was happy then & didn't even know I was.long live to R&R
It is good stuff. Nobody can deny that. However, there’s good stuff today too. Most of it just doesn’t come to the surface. It’s not mainstream. And the Airplane wasn’t exactly mainstream either in 1969. They’d had a hit but I doubt most of their stuff was that well known. You can verify that by looking at the charts. This very movie immortalized this festival and along with it many of the bands that performed. Had they decided not to release it or if some great misfortune had destroyed it, I doubt that many of these performers would even be remembered today.
@@failranch9542 No, there isn't. If there was you would name names, but all you do is share your little "just go find it!" catchphrase. Name one single modern band on JA's level.
One of my favorite bands of all time! Great performance! Listen up kids of today, this is real music. Jefferson Airplane forever! Grace, Paul, Marty, Jack, Jorma, and Spencer. RIP Paul, Spencer, and Marty.
A great band at its best. Every Airplaner kicks some serious butt here, but I'm especially struck by Jack Casady's famously driving bass, the ship on which everyone else sails --
I've heard various members of JA state that they thought they weren't at their best during their Woodstock performance. Honestly, I don't how they came to that conclusion---IMHO they were AWESOME!! The entire set is outstanding, and this might be the shining star out of all the songs they played that memorable day. Listen to those soaring, trippy harmonies by Grace, Marty, and Paul...Jack Casady's pulsating bass lines, Jorma Kaukonen with that powerful, fuzzy, acid-soaked sound on lead guitar, Spencer Dryden with the driving beat on the drums...BEAUTIFUL!! Even more than the Dead...I thought the Airplane was THE psychedelic band of that time...and this is a glorious testament to how great they were!!
The lyrics of this song are literally FULL of references to the use use and the effects of psychedelic substances. Sunshine instead of snow, obviously citing Orange Sunshine, the legendary version of LSD that Nick Sand was making and the Brotherhood Of Eternal Love was smuggling all around the world. After Bathing at Baxter's is a mesmerizing encyclopedia of hippie slang.
+oldjack1754 There should have been a camera assigned to just Jack by the director when they filmed Airplane at Woodstock. Same for Keith Moon and Pete Townshend of the Who. People are so stupid.
I was 18 in 1989.. I had a Honda riva 125 motor scooter.. 2 joints & 15 bucks in my pocket, I rode down the parkway from Montvale, to the garden state arts center, in Holmdel New Jersey. ended up meeting these 2 dudes in their fortys. Lomg story short, they gave me an extra ticket that they had, and i smoked my pot with them.. that was a cool moment i won't forget.
Without The Jefferson Airplane I could not of made it through High School. Eating acid alone without Jefferson Airplane is like....not, empty, void of breath and colors. RIP Paul, we love you. We live for the music.
I watch this video once again after many views. I cry because we lost Spencer Dryden, Paul Kantner, and Marty Balin. My favorite band besides The Beatles and The Stones. I was 17 in 1969, and now I'm 67. I wouldn't trade my life for any young person today because today's music sucks balls. I just hope I get to meet all these dead rock stars in rock heaven.
One of my favorite Woodstock performances. I am in AWE of Grace Slick's powerful and dynamic voice. Love Marty Balin's vocal harmonies. He bought extra layers and textures to this song. Rip Lovely Paul Kanter. Real good band rounding out the hippy sound. Good Rock Vibe.
This what the hippies could do for those in future generations absolutely blasted, - almost staggering at times but still pulling off three part harmonies.
I saw J.A. Over the Isle of Wight (u.k.) in 1968 couldn't believe how wonderful they were I was a soul and ska boy seeing them live really tuned me on to J. A. Still love them. Always makes me feel like its summer and everyone is chilled and happy.😀
Fernando Maron yes I was thinking that sometimes Marty Balin would sound off when singing live, but here he was perfect. And Grace, well, what can you say?
@@markhunter8554 Totally fried. Same as Santana when he did his gig, those dudes could perform at top of their game while high as f'ing kite. Mad respect.
First heard this on vinyl when I was a high-school sophomore 44 years ago. The studio version is beautiful. But this live performance is much more exciting --
Jack was superb on Bass..Glenn...I played Coronet, Trumpet and Baritone and so was more of a Brass-man ..." Chicago or Blood sweat and Tears style ..but Loved the " Airplane and being 70 ..grew up with them..Played since I was 8 yrs. old ..Got the horns out even while in Graduate school....Peace..Glenn and Love this video ,which brings back the great " Airplane " and the stunningly beautiful Grace Slick ...db
Hi Dana, thanks for the comment. I'm 66 years young. You being 70, you're still young my friend. BTW, I loved the original Blood, Sweat, and Tears with Al Cooper. Not so much with what's his name on the second album.I still listen to the first album on vinyl to this day with vacuum tubed stereo equipment. Anyway. I just recently purchased an Epiphone Limited Edtion Jack Casady Bass. I love it. This coming from a guy that has been playing Fender Jazz Basses for 45 years
Grace creates a beauty fold into which the whole band and song pours. Her and this band touch me deeply and really define something important about the 60's. She's really a stage angel for whom a statue should be built...One wail from Grace straightens you out and tells you I am a goddess who is above mortal men...What was I thinking? lol
One of my favorite Woodstock performances. I can never resist the voice of Grace Slick. This song highlights her voice so well. Grace Slick is the Queen of Rock!!!
One of the best songs from Woodstock - its rhythms and dynamics really sound amazing in the open acoustic of the big bowl. The power of both rhythm and lead guitars, Grace and Marty really getting into it ... I think that, along with the Who and Jimmy, this is the iconic performance not just of the festival, but of a generation.
This song is one that has always done it to me and still does. Used to play it out the den windows when I was 17 that summer to turn on the 'burb neighborhood. Don't think it worked but so what?
@@thomasbedell4770 But it worked just fine for you ! That was the most important.. And it still amazes me too. It's hard to believe that after the 90's music, in general, went down that far, with very few exceptions.
i liked the studio track but then i heard the woodstock version - considering the band spent almost a day waiting backstage to go on, they sound f*cking amazing - beautiful harmonies, Grace is stunning. what a band.
@@haintedhouse2990 Indeed !! Fantastic live performance. Interesting that in the first version of Woodstock this song was not included. And later, "won't you try" was finally included. And when I checked it out I was amazed. Well, better late than never...
So glad I was there to hear this live (despite so much of that weekend being a bit of a blurr caused by the passage of time and by, well, you know... 😏)
Bob Katz Lucky you man. Could you describe, in a few words what it was like being there, amid a mass fan population, and a no- holds barred to self expression, joy etc. I was 5 yrs old. Too young to get parental clearance, lol, but that concert permeates my soul whenever I watch it still. Peace
This song I think is better live than the studio version. I know people who were there and had their memories to share. In fact, my past Dr in Fallon, NV was there and was in a group cover photo on News week in 1969. I was only 8 or 9 then. It's been said if you remember where you were in the 60s you probably weren't there. Don't know who said that. That's neither "here" nor "There" for me. Great music number. I've met 2 of the founding members of the Airplane.
@@cooperrec I was there but left Saturday, so I miss this performance. It was just too crowed for me. And dirty, no toilets or fresh water. My problem is that a couple of months before this I had attended a concert at Atlantic City, NJ that a lot of these acts. In fact in Atlantic City I actually saw Janis Joplin do a duet with Little Richard while he played a white grand piano. I don't remember the song, I just knew I was blown away.
Tripping balls and they nailed it ... WPLR New Haven used to play this song in the 70's .. In some strange way .. the Jefferson Airplane were as dynamic as the Rolling Stones .. imo
Idk if anyone agrees but I think this would have been my favorite time of woodstock. It looks to be around 6am and the scenary is beautiful and Jefferson Airplane ripping out of the air! Wow! What a wonderful moment these people experienced!
@@SkrvnHiptR77 Yup. They were my absolute favorite group in those days, and that was the third time in 10 days that I was seeing them live. Fillmore East and Central Park were the others. Very grateful for the Woodstock experience. Like I said, you nailed it! Thanks for responding.
This is the first version I ever heard of this song. It was on "Woodstock II: More Music from the...Festival" It it still by far my favorite and the strongest version I have heard. "Eskimo Blue Day," off the same album is also fantastic. Their performance at Woodstock is among the strongest I've ever heard from JA. I never get tired of listening to it. Great stuff!
On this day, Grace Slick was the hottest woman in the history of rock. That outfit, that hair, those eyes, that voice. My God. I love how in the movie during Uncle Sam's Blues, the camera is on her the first half of the song even though she isn't even on stage.
Jefferson Airplane at their finest. This song epitomizes for me the acid-drenched Summer of Love and San Francisco in the late 60s. What a singularly amazing time.
Won't You Try / Saturday Afternoon Jefferson Airplane Won't you try Won't you try Won't you try Find a way to need someone Find a way to see Find a way to need someone and the sunshine will set you free Won't you try With love before were gone Wont you try Wont you try Wont you try Saturday afternoon Saturday afternoon When your head is feeling fine You can ride inside our car I will give you caps of blue and silver sunlight for your hair All that soon will be is what you need to see, my love Won't you try Won't you try I do care that you do see Is it time to leave, my lady Yes it is I know Round about and everywhere sunshine instead of snow Times can't change that what I say is true Oooooh oooh Ill come through for you And I'll come through for you, my love Wont you try Wont you try Wont you try Wont you try Saturday afternoon Yellow clouds rising in the noon Acid incense and ballons Saturday afternoon people dancing everywhere ,loudly shouting i don't care Its a time for growing and a time for knowing Saturday afternoon Saturday afternoon (wont you try) Saturday afternoon (wont you try) Saturday afternoon ( wont you try ) Wont you try (saturday afternoon) Wont you try ( saturday afternoon) Wont you try Wont you try Transcribed by Johnny Blasi
JA overdue for resurrection/appreciation by younger folks (sub 40 or so) who consistently dig their folks' era. Simultaneously raw, casual, tight, committed. Great band.
Beautiful song. You can't see it too well here, but at the end when they pause Marty and Grace they truly are "caught in time"....got to admit it's a bittersweet feeling, sadness for what has gone, but still significant happiness
Woodstock, Agosto de 1969, o maior concerto de todos os tempos, tinha eu 17 anos... tempos inolvidáveis... tempos do Make Love Not War... o tempo do movimento hippie, um comportamento coletivo de contracultura dos anos 1960...
Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, Jimmi Hendrix, The Who, Creedence, Joe Cocker, foram os melhores de Woodstock . O mais puro e autentico e legítimo Rock and roll pra ninguém botar defeito . Velhos e bons tempos que não voltam mais desses mestres da música com todas essas suas maravilhas do Rock and Roll. E mais, o rock dos anos 90 pra cá se diluiu de uma forma tão negativa, pseuda e mentirosa, que eu me recuso à chama lo hoje de Rock and Roll . A verdade é que o ROCK AND ROLL JÁ FOI FEITO !
I can't stop watching this is. It epitomizes what was so magnificent about Jefferson Airplane. Such a breathtaking, monumental rock band.
Yo igual que tú,impresionante!
IKR They were like a force of nature. Grace was like a goddess on stage.
Imagine waking up that morning hearing this song.....
I would hope to be peaking
MIND FREAKING BLOWING 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼☺️♥️
it was saturday night about 8.30
Would you go on a trip 😄😄😄😄
@@simonjones2568 your right I believe it was
The vocal harmonies and duets of Grace and Marty get lots of love, but the seamless vocal blending of Grace and Paul Kantner is magical and iconic as well.
so agree. the 3 singers harmonies were original, blissful - not your traditional 3 harmony break-down, definitely unearthly. only the Airplane
The Community Band😊

@@haintedhouse2990 Cool parents.
@@markhunter8554 thanks. they still complained about that "loud music" but you're correct - pretty cool
This performance is the essence of what Woodstock was all about.
Grace Slick. Is the best female rock singer. Period!!
Not enough credit goes to how Jack’s brilliant bass playing holds all this flying Airplane together. And, you can watch him and tell he’s f#*king serious about the music.
Agreed. He's totally in the zone.
Even Hendrix did a song with him. He does get plenty of credit.
Makea remind Glenn Cornick
@@karlwintour0 Hendrix was a major Casady fan.
@@markhunter8554 did you know that he is the bass player in Voodoo Chile song?
"Let's not keep fucking up!" Wise words from Grace Slick
Nowadays these young so called singers and artists can’t even drink without getting crazy and breaking everything, and can’t make any good music. Look at the Jeffersons, if they were really high as people claim, didn’t matters, look at the high quality of musicianship they display. In sync, with themselves and with fellow bandmasters. Just beautiful.
Best performance at Woodstock . Boy can these three sing together or what! Marty is blowing me away with his beautiful backing vocals.
absolutely!
This version is just sheer perfection.
Dude, you say it, peace man ✌🌸🌺🌼
You said it. This band was damn good.
Agreed, this is just heaven! ✌🏻
I also love this version. Grace simply killing it on the vocals
the gods speaking
Marty Balin, one of the great rock voices. RIP Marty.
i prefer this over the studio version. Despite the 6:00 am wake-up call, there is magic here that cant be reproduced.

Marty does look pretty out of it. Altamont was a nightmare
Music should be felt... This is REAL music...
OH YEAH!
Marty is mesmerising, what a voice. Love the moment when he stops at 3.35 and just watches Grace do her thing. Stunning ❤️
Marty and Grace's vocals are just beyond Perfection!
Absolutely agree ☮☮☮🕉☯
The greatest 4 minutes of music captured on video

RIP Marty Balin (1942-2018)
Yellow Flowers every where Acid, Incense, and Balloon's. Saturday Afternoon. What a wonderful time.
A Wild Thyme.
Their best track, I think. Slick's voice is amazing.
What is better than Marty, Grace, and Paul singing together asynchronously? Nothing!

Beautifully phrased
THAT'S AN INTRESTING CHOICE OF WORDS . VERY THOUGHTFULL
This what the hippies could do for those in future generations absolutely blasted, - almost staggering at times but still pulling off three part harmonies.

This line defines this whole generation very well.
Tripping balls and they nailed it ...
WPLR New Haven used to play this song in the 70's ..
In some strange way .. the Jefferson Airplane were as dynamic as the Rolling Stones .. imo
Idk if anyone agrees but I think this would have been my favorite time of woodstock. It looks to be around 6am and the scenary is beautiful and Jefferson Airplane ripping out of the air! Wow! What a wonderful moment these people experienced!
Yup. You nailed it. It was a gorgeous morning, almost unbelievable that the Airplane were playing.
@@artichoke5382 from first hand experience I'm assuming?
@@SkrvnHiptR77 Yup. They were my absolute favorite group in those days, and that was the third time in 10 days that I was seeing them live. Fillmore East and Central Park were the others. Very grateful for the Woodstock experience. Like I said, you nailed it! Thanks for responding.
@@artichoke5382 incredible! I went to see the area in 2021. Must have been a helluva time! You take care friend!
@@artichoke5382 holy cow did you stick around for the Jimi Hendrix finale?
Grace sings like a ghostly spirit.
Nicky Hopkins keyboards, Jorma Kaukonen lead guitar, Jack Casady bass, Grace Slick + Marty Balin vocals...such talent. Won't You Try Saturday Afternoon...on Sunday Morning.
Don’t forget about Paul Kantner Rhythm guitar and Spencer Dryden Drums
My god! What a great music! I'm scared that there are people in the world who have not heard Jefferson airplane!
IGNETRON144 this song always makes me cry and I don't know why
@@julienichols5490 you're not the only one
Here we go
As a teen, I can confirm very few people know about them (and if they do, it's from We Built This City).
Clearly too many have not!
This is the first version I ever heard of this song. It was on "Woodstock II: More Music from the...Festival" It it still by far my favorite and the strongest version I have heard. "Eskimo Blue Day," off the same album is also fantastic. Their performance at Woodstock is among the strongest I've ever heard from JA. I never get tired of listening to it. Great stuff!
Paul Kantner lives forever!
On this day, Grace Slick was the hottest woman in the history of rock. That outfit, that hair, those eyes, that voice. My God. I love how in the movie during Uncle Sam's Blues, the camera is on her the first half of the song even though she isn't even on stage.
grace - the voice that launched a million trips
Jefferson Airplane at their finest. This song epitomizes for me the acid-drenched Summer of Love and San Francisco in the late 60s. What a singularly amazing time.
Magnificent!! Nothing today touches this stuff. 💙
agreed - considering they had been up all night partying, this is beautiful! totally original band.
True. Today about 3 out of 10 songs are ok. But back then it was like 10 out of 10 were dynamite
Queue the Tame Impala idiots.
Won't You Try / Saturday Afternoon Jefferson Airplane Won't you try
Won't you try
Won't you try
Find a way to need someone
Find a way to see
Find a way to need someone and the sunshine will set you free
Won't you try
With love before were gone
Wont you try
Wont you try
Wont you try
Saturday afternoon
Saturday afternoon
When your head is feeling fine
You can ride inside our car
I will give you caps of blue and silver sunlight for your hair
All that soon will be is what you need to see, my love
Won't you try
Won't you try
I do care that you do see
Is it time to leave, my lady
Yes it is I know
Round about and everywhere sunshine instead of snow
Times can't change that what I say is true
Oooooh oooh
Ill come through for you
And I'll come through for you, my love
Wont you try
Wont you try
Wont you try
Wont you try
Saturday afternoon
Yellow clouds rising in the noon
Acid incense and ballons
Saturday afternoon
people dancing everywhere ,loudly shouting i don't care
Its a time for growing and a time for knowing
Saturday afternoon
Saturday afternoon (wont you try)
Saturday afternoon (wont you try)
Saturday afternoon ( wont you try )
Wont you try (saturday afternoon)
Wont you try ( saturday afternoon)
Wont you try
Wont you try

Yes, thank you so much!
They dont have bands like this now. Music cant compare to this Era.
JA overdue for resurrection/appreciation by younger folks (sub 40 or so) who consistently dig their folks' era. Simultaneously raw, casual, tight, committed. Great band.
Oh yeah, just melt into it baby... Sunday morning at Woodstock
Things have really changed since those days. I'd go back any day.
Beautiful song. You can't see it too well here, but at the end when they pause Marty and Grace they truly are "caught in time"....got to admit it's a bittersweet feeling, sadness for what has gone, but still significant happiness
Thank you Paul for so many years of wonderful music,the music of my teenage years...you can fly high now
RIP Paul. Hate to lose you so early.
Damn, Grace nailed it. Great band.
Woodstock, Agosto de 1969, o maior concerto de todos os tempos, tinha eu 17 anos... tempos inolvidáveis... tempos do Make Love Not War... o tempo do movimento hippie, um comportamento coletivo de contracultura dos anos 1960...
Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, Jimmi Hendrix, The Who, Creedence, Joe Cocker, foram os melhores de Woodstock . O mais puro e autentico e legítimo Rock and roll pra ninguém botar defeito . Velhos e bons tempos que não voltam mais desses mestres da música com todas essas suas maravilhas do Rock and Roll. E mais, o rock dos anos 90 pra cá se diluiu de uma forma tão negativa, pseuda e mentirosa, que eu me recuso à chama lo hoje de Rock and Roll . A verdade é que o ROCK AND ROLL JÁ FOI FEITO !
I instantly had a crush on her when I first saw their "Surrealistic Pillow" album, when I was in high school back in 1968.
Amazing song. Amazing performance. And Grace Slick was so beautiful.
I feel like I gotta watch this every day
Morning maniac music. ❤
One of my favorite live Airplane performances, so tightly knit. And love Jack's powerful, driving bass --
The best song to represent hippiedom in the 60s ever this was the pinnacle of it all. And they played it at 8 o’clock in the morning!
