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.
+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.
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.
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.
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.

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
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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...
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.😀
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!
@@OhMeOhMy77 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.
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.
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!!!
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!
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...
It's so cool to see more of their set from Woodstock & now we can enjoy the full set they released on CD. I saw them at Atlantic City Pop Fest just two weeks before Woodstock.
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.
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... 😏)
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 --
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
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.
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 !
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
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 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.
We're talking about great individual talent coming together. Very rare.
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
Imagine waking up that morning hearing this song.....
I would hope to be peaking

I don't understand how 6 people could have disliked this... this is Woodstock era Airplane at their best and trippiest.
and proof that some of the best performances did not make it into the movie. 2140 Fulton Ave.
San Francisco, planet earth.
+Robert Yasko Totally agree. Probably my favorite performance from the event. I could watch Jack Casady play bass all day.

"If your head is feelin' fine, you can ride inside our car, I will give caps of blue and silver sunlight for your hair" Saturday afternoon❤️🦋✌🏼
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
What is better than Marty, Grace, and Paul singing together asynchronously? Nothing!
Marty has such a gorgeous voice. He often gets overlooked.
What a Gorgeous picture this Song Paints with words . Thank You JA .
I miss those times...but they didn't end up being Eden like everyone thought. Got to live in the present.
damn those sixties and saturday afternoons.....awesome days.........peace out
0:52 that pan over to Marty being so entranced by Cassidy's bass while tripping absolute balls
"Yo shit is funky"
High as kites and live , this version has more quality than recorded music of today
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.
This is the definitive version of this song. Much batter than the album version.
1 of the best performances of the 3 days plus it was early in the morn would of loved 2 spark a joint kick back and watch them
I love this version. Best one so far.
i still wish they will invent a time machine in the next 50-years or so
Grace Slick. Is the best female rock singer. Period!!
One of the best don't forget Janis Joplin
Perfection Woodstock was so magical.
this is amazing love the vocal coordination doesn't get better than this!!
From a still awesome era in popular culture (throughout the world mind you). Thanks!
Every time I see Grace, my trousers tighten!
One of my favorite songs now ! JA rocks ! It is time for us to relive this again ! Peace,grass, and micro-dots for everybody !
Bassist directs soul to my face
