Grace had something no other female vocalist of the time period had...a powerful trained voice. Combine that with her intense physical presence and she just knocked you out of the stadium when she cut loose.
Love their old stuff!! Yes, it’s trippy 😵💫
Jefferson Starship’s Miracles is an awesome love song 💞
Baby making music,. Yes, lawd!
I could never understand why their song "Tumblin'" was never a huge hit. Marty Balin wrote such beautiful songs.
I've noticed that younger reactors often can't get past the shaky production values of the mid sixties. I remember listening to the early blues and jazz recordings of the 30s or 40s and not being able to get past the sound quality. The difference between listening now, and hearing this song first in 1967 is monumental. We didn't know how good hi-fi was going to get, and were blown away by the energy and dynamism of guitar oriented rock. And I great this song like I heard it back then.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee You mean the crappy gear that people listen to nowadays. Convenience over quality is always a bad compromise.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee Earbuds?? Have you listened to 1980 speakers with 8 inch woofers and amps with 100 watts per channel? With music on vinyl? The problem with most people is they think new is always better. Modern tech is amazing and can do things that we couldn't imagine back in 1975, but as far as sound quality, you have been sold a bill of goods. And don't get me started on the level of musicianship and music production.
Classic Airplane! Grace at her best.
Back in the day, we loved all of the very different music we were hearing. All those different ingredients making our music pie especially tasty. I can't imagine it without White Rabbit or Grace Slick.
Grace Slick was a fantastic singer. She had big pipes.
Jane is a good song by Jefferson Airplane. Changed there name back in late 70s to Jefferson Starship. Good reaction. This song came out in 1967
@Zoey The Savannah Remember them well grew up in the 60s This song was played quite often on the local radio stations where i lived.
I was six or seven when I heard this first. Then I heard it A LOT. It got, deservedly, LOTS of radio play.
One of the things a kid really wanted back then was a 9 volt AM/FM transistor pocket radio.
All we had was the radio, or "word of mouth", having a friend play an album for us.
Can you imagine a kid rolling the dial through all the stations, the classical, country, jazz, elevator music, soft rock, and real rock? What would YOU stop the dial at? THIS. If this was playing? For sure. I
I always stopped on the best rock channels on MY 9v transistor radio! I had no idea at 7 years old that fifty-three years later so many of these songs still stand up, and folk are still discovering them. It's so easy now.
Grace, of course, is a legendary figure in rock history. Blessings.
Grace didn't have much of a vocal range but had hella control over what she had. Power, breath control, vibrato, expression.
Oh my Chod, my vote for the next song is Miracles with Marty Balin doing lead vocals & Grace backing him up so skillfully. Please, Please, Please. Thanks for this.
@Zoey The Savannah So do I Zoey
Bless Its Pointed Little Head - live at the Fillmore West....
Great live album when they were at their peak as the Airplane.
White Rabbit was about Alice in Wonderland ☮️💜
Hey, hers was the voice that launched a thousand trips...but kidding aside Grace Slick had one heck of a voice. Hey, White Rabbit was awesome. Just ask anyone from the late 60’s and early 70’s......I’m sure you heard snippets of it on tv.
Grace has a great voice, strong, and you know when it is her singing. They have many songs I like and love to sing along with.
Grace's vocals and Jack Cassidy's bass (and Marty Balin when he's more featured) were always the glue in this band. Especially Cassidy coz he held everything together even into Hot Tuna and further as his career went on. Just a great feel for pushing the envelope, or just playing what's needed like on an acoustic blues. Great sense of what's needed.
Her voice sounds like the lead singer of Shocking Blue with their song Venus. You should listen to it.
I think that even if I was not familiar with Alice In Wonderland, I would have still appreciated White Rabbit musically. Since I saw Disney's adaptation of Alice In Wonderland as a child, I can't say for sure, but ambiguous lyrics coupled with rock music was the staple of the day when Jefferson Airplane did White Rabbit.
listen to "Isolated Vocals White Rabbit" you'll hear Grace's voice controlled then build up to a beautiful end. what a singer.
Interesting commentary. Back in the day you had to buy the album and hear the whole thing. I think that forced us to hear a variety of songs before deciding if we really liked the band or not. And the production values were pretty weak here, although the musicianship is quite good. Check out "Volunteers of America" next, then you can check further incarnations with different band members and even a name change(s) to "Starship".
Imo it seems that it has gone a full circle, back to 50's early 60's. Artists and groups are doing career song by song, video by video, every few months or so. Albums are more or less on the sidetrack. Especially singers are presented in talent shows of all kind instead of relentless gigging to catch the audience, production teams instead of writing own material.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee I do remember that, although they were usually full or not working right. In the 70s I won a contest at a record store. Guessed the combination on a lock. The number just popped into my head. A free record every week for a year! That was a great year...
Grace had a powerful voice which they took full advantage of. Can't tell you how many LPS I listened to that I didn't like at first. Over a few plays you find their groove and fall in love with it. Glad you gave them, and others a second listen. White Rabit was a "play song" like Mercedes-Benz by Janice! Some of the old bands liked to have fun with songs and fans. Not sure if you can pull it off today. We're too serious today. The Beatles had fun with some of their music and is one reason they were so popular.
White Rabbit was written as a response to all the parents in the 60s wondering why their kids were doing drugs. The song was using Alice in Wonderland as an example of where kids might just have picked up on the idea that mind-altering substances were a good thing...kids learned from the stories that were read to them as well as the behavior of the adults around them (who were all smoking and drinking...plus there was at least a 50% probability that your or at least one of your friends' mom had a script for diet pills, valium, or any number of mood adjusters doctors regularly handed out in those days). Definitely check out Volunteers (the live version on one of the Woodstock LPs still gets to me).
Great reaction Chod! Glad you liked this one!
I would also suggest listening to Today by them as well
'White Rabbit' is trippy, but so much of the 60s zeitgeist was about expanding consciousness with or without drugs. The beauty of the song is that when you listen to it, you don't have to be high to feel high. Love Grace Slick's vocals!
They moved into a more mainstream direction in the '70's when they changed their name to Jefferson Starship. "Miracles" was played to death in 1975, With Your love, Count On Me and Runaway were lovey-dovey top 40 singles with Marty Balin singing lead.. They were a San Francisco band which was the birthplace and center of psychedelic rock. Their early Airplane stuff did have a "unique" sound and feel to them. Their later "Starship" stuff is what punk rock tried to kill.
You don't have to be tripping to enjoy White Rabbit. I loved the song when I was 10 . Trippy music and clothing back then was part of the culture.
Try 'Volunteers' next.

We Can Be Together is another banger. On the same album too. Chod, you're selling this band short. Major, major band in the history of rock.
My favorite JA song.
One of the most iconic bands of the late 60s and on into the 90s they went from Jefferson Airplane to Jefferson Starship and then just Starship their lead singer was Grace Slick what a cool name for a lead singer but one of the bands that pioneered the acid rock or phsycodelic era of music
Well, you really can’t just tell someone how it was in the 60s or the 70s, you had to have been there to understand....
Chod, You'll love Jefferson Starships "Miracles", "Count On Me" and "With Your Love"!!! Different vibe. Chronologically its Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, then just Starship.
And let's please forget about Starship.
@@breckrichardson390 agreed :)
Airplane was at the heart of the San Francisco scene. So many great songs. Members of Airplane and CSN - David Crosby, Paul Kantner, and Stephen Stills - co-wrote a song called Wooden Ships, and both bands released their own versions and both are worth a listen. Other great tracks are Volunters of America and Come Up the Years. The band split, forming two bands: Jefferson Starship and Hot Tuna. I definitely recommend checking out the bluesier Hot Tuna - "Keep On Truckin'," "Another Man Done Gone," and "Surphase Tension."
Miracles....with Marty on the lead vocals is just amazing. Totally different Chod sound!!
In case you don't already know, this band has been through several interations, all having a slightly different sound. White Rabbit and Somebody To Love are from the early days of psychadelic music, when they were called Jefferson Airplane. That was from '65 to '72. Then some of the members (Grace Slick included, who gave them much of their distinctive sound) split off and formed Jefferson Starship in '74. Then in '84, after more personnel drama, the remaining members changed the name to simply Starship. the whole story is more convoluted than that, but that's the nutshell version.
I can recommend Sara, Miracles, and Runaway, but first listen to JANE.
Don’t forget Stranger! But glad you suggested Jane first. Mickey Thomas is hands down my fav. Singer.
I agree but Marty Balin is my favourite. @@scottlaughlin9897
@@cheampeake1680 for that band yes. Marty did kill it on Miracles. But when Mickey sang fooled around and fell in love for Elvin Bishop, Wow! Especially on the midnight special live. Watch on Jayvee reactions!
"when the truth is found to be lies, and all the joy within you dies"... the voice of a generation!.... you might want to listen to White Rabbit again, because the idea the Airplane need redemption because of White Rabbit is a little odd... "feed your head".... my next favourite Airplane thing is a song that's not available in a studio version... it's their live performance of a Steppenwolf song called "The Other Side of This Life", performed live at the infamous Altamont concert in 1969 in a clip from the movie "Gimme Shelter"..... be warned if you watch the Altamont performance they never get to finish the song because Hells Angels start beating people up in front of the stage and even knock out the Airplane's other singer, Marty Balin, but up until that point the music is amazing .... it's also on a live album called Bless Its Pointy Little Head, but it sounds better at Altamont
I love White Rabbit. It is one of the first songs I learned to sing as a little kid when my brother had a band.
Lol - White Rabbit is psychedelic rock and it *is* far out! Jefferson Airplane likes to play in that genre. But they pulled it back with this song, and it's more mainstream then some of their other songs.
@J T I live in SF Bay area, east bay, not the city. 60/70s I was growing up in Santa Cruz, got to see early Journey.
@J T exactly!
@J T you too JT, nice chattin witcha
The thing about this band is that they helped define the sound of three different decades, with three different incarnations (the main commonality being Grace Slick). OG fans may not like the 80s incarnation and vice-versa, but you've gotta admire their staying power. In terms of their older songs I like "Wooden Ships", which was covered by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young but I prefer the Jefferson Airplane version.
A couple of other interesting songs on that first album, 3/5 Of A Mile In 10 Seconds, and Plastic Fantastic Lover. A small detail from the album credits to Surrealistic Pillow; Grateful Dead Guitarist Jerry Garcia is listed as Spiritual Advisor. There he is again.
This entire album is a masterpiece, Chod. Please take the time to listen to it...you won't be disappointed.
I got to see Jefferson Starship when Micky Thomas and Grace Slick were still with the band. Jane was their biggie at the time. The rocked😎
"White Rabbit" was a product of that era--psychedelic, trippy. It's a song that's often used in documentaries about the 60's.
I know of two different songs called Somebody To Love and they are both absolutely superb in their own way. The other one, of course, being by Queen. Both have in common outstanding vocals. A lot of the music produced between the years 1964 and circa 1976/77 was PHENOMENAL. I like your videos, great work. Intelligent, considered, perfect.
One of the great rock singles of the 60s. Short catchy and memorable.
Welcome back to the Airplane, I think you would like 'If you feel' from the Crown of Creation album. If features Marty with Grace on background. A fun little thing...
"Crooklyn" is a Spike Lee Joint from 1994. I saw it in the theater. Alfre Woodard plays a mother of five who is dying of cancer. Sad? Yes. But the soundtrack is great. I bought it on cassette. Might have been the last cassette release I ever bought come to think of it. The music of Jefferson Airplane has been used in many movies and tv-shows, mostly this song and "White Rabbit", to evoke the "revolutionary vibe" of the 1960's. "Volunteers" is another of their hits. "Wooden Ships" (also recorded by Crosby, Stills, & Nash), "Embryonic Journey", "Plastic Fantastic Lover", and "Won't You Try/Saturday Afternoon" are a few other stand out tunes from them.
When they became Jefferson Starship, my favorites are " Miricles" and "Count on me"
Acid rock. We loved sitting around passing the pipe around. So mellow.
La voz de Grace es IMPRESIONANTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was a roadie for the Sons of Champlin. We did a lot of shows with the Airplane.
This song is in a few movies and trailers. Also the new Matrix trailer has White Rabbit.
@Zoey The Savannah Sorry but I think I will support Starship's "We Built This City". 🤣 Just kidding. I do support Miracles the album version. ua-cam.com/video/HBWBOGhFDnM/v-deo.html
@Zoey The Savannah I'm pretty sure with my taste in music I like a lot of songs that you would hate. 😁 I don't know that if I don't like We Built This City, because it was played so much or it is not my taste.
@Zoey The Savannah I understand. The 90's is when I listened to more CDs, watched TV and movies. I didn't like listening to the radio or watching music television so much.
Airplane's music varied quite a bit. Some was more laid back, like Wooden Ships, We Can Be Together, Today etc., some was harder edged like Volunteers or Plastic Fantastic Lover. Some were in between, like Crown of Creation.
I always liked White Rabbit, it was innovative for its time, it had good clever lyrical imagery referencing the well-known children's book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. It was short, sweet, musically pleasant and pretty, nice bass line and melody and guitar leads, and it let Grace show off her vocal power. What's not to like?
Try their later group- Jefferson Starship- Jane. A very talented singer Mickey Thomas sings lead.
Oh yeah...he's gonna like them because Grace Slick along with Janis.....could "sang" I am gonna give him another song from Jefferson Airplane. Great Pioneering band.
White Rabbit in their most iconic song in my opinion. Guess you had to live back then.
This is the very first album that I remember growing up that my parents would play on their hi-fi. I later took it for my collection and love it still. White Rabbit was the biggest hit off this album and started Airplane on its way. You really need to understand I am guessing what the mid 60's were about. The psychedelic's had surfaced and experimentation was the thing. White Rabbit was essentially a play off of Alice in Wonderland, have you read or seen the movie? That will give you understanding of the song and how ground breaking it was. The Beatles, Velvet underground, Pink Floyd, Vanilla Fudge and so many more had begun the acid rock scene. For me, 3/5 of a mile in ten seconds is my favorite tune on this album. A bit harder rockin' but the whole album is a 60's special one. I suggest trying that song, it will get your attention. You know I love you baby, yes I do!
Your parents must have been very cool!! 👍
Do you understand " who" the white rabbit is. Yeah the holes get trippy. Perfect song for such trippy stuff.
You're still on the edge!?! Young man you are listening to Grace Slick.. the original Queen of rock acid Queen of San Francisco with the premier band out of San Francisco. Your ears are used to highly produced auto-tuned and highly compressed music that you hear nowadays. Grace had an amazing contralto and on her good night she could blow anyone off the stage. She had her issues with alcohol and that made her performances inconsistent over the decades but when she was on her game she was amazing. She is also one of those rare singers that was as powerful as a lead front woman as well as her vocals supplied for background. She has a voice that when you hear it you don't confuse it with anyone else.
You can't really go too trippy...period. LOL I love me some early Jefferson Airplane!! But the again I am experienced. As far as White Rabbit, you should try George Benson's version. It will let you groove without trying to expand your mind.
Let me guess, he reacted to "White Rabbit". Yeah, if you weren't coming of age in the '60s, it can seem a little out there. lol Grace Slick can sing!!! ☮&❤
Try "Embryonic Journey", a nice instrumental. Also "Coming Back to Me".
Another Jefferson Airplane song suggestion that might be of interest is a song titled "Comin' back to me " . Written and performed by founding member of Jefferson Airplane Marty Balin. Beautiful song that has been on 1 or 2 movie soundtracks.
This wasn't in Crooklyn,but it's been in many movies that are set in the 60s
Jefferson Airplane - Comin' back to me
I've seen a lot of great suggestions here, all I can add is "Stranger", "Find Your Way Back" and "Ride the Tiger" by Jefferson Starship (which was the next evolution of Jefferson Airplane). Their third incarnation (just called Starship) had a huge hit with "We Built this City".
My brother took me to see Jefferson Airplane when I was a Sophomore or Junior in High School. They were pretty good.
Greetings Chod ~ You may have heard this song if you saw "THE CABLE GUY" w/Jim Carrey ~*
Jefferson airplane became jefferson starship. One needs to watch jefferson starship live as they are many times better live than hearing studio versions
Jerry Garcia was instrumental (no pun intended) in how this song turned out in the end, but due to being on a different label he was not listed with a production credit. if i remember correctly he got a nod for 'spiritual advice' or something like that...
bruh- you are the squarest drummer ever
It was such a great time of music back then. Back from when I first saw Elvis, The Beatles, The Animals, and everybody else on the Ed Sullivan show. From that one TV show there was a buffet of music. Tom Jones. Englebert Humperdinck. It was a fabulous time. Thanks for your fun reaction videos!
Grace Slick has one of the top 10 voices in rock history. Sexism (and having survived into old age) keeps her from getting the adulation that Jim Morrison got. This vocal performance is a master class. Perfect pitch throughout!
PS you can skip the later incarnations of the band under different names. They got progressively worse and turned into arena-rock schlock.
easy world,isn´t it?Sexism is the answer to everything! I am not a Morrison-or Doors fan,but the Doors were the bigger group with bigger hits and Morrison killed himselve.That makes legends,not the gender!When the "27 club" already passed away Grace Slick started her career.In that age the creativity dries up,so her career was short.And to stumble drunken over the stage doesn´´t help to stay in that business.
I agree wholeheartedly with your first statement! - but the second comment not so much. The J. Starship era had some great songs that were very successful & many people loved.
@@zimbo65a riiiiight. Rock musicians ae notorious for their sobriety. I was discussing VOICES. And as a singer, I can tell you Grace's is in a league of its own.
if Grace Slick had fatally overdosed when she was 28 she would no doubt be the original Queen of Rock.
Love this
At the transition point to Jefferson Starship, try "Have You Seen the Stars Tonight." Or follow Jorma Kaukonen* to another band: "Watch the North Wind Rise" by Hot Tuna (which I play every winter, because yes). (Or venture into his solo work; "Genesis" is gorgeous.)
*YOUR-muh COW-kun-nen. I'm not mean enough to send anyone into his work without a pronunciation guide.
Listen to Today. It's a beautiful ballad with their other lead singer, Marty Balin. A completely different and beautiful sound.
How about Plastic "Fantastic Lover" by Jefferson Airplane.
Yes check out Shocking Blue , I'm Your Venus !!
Listen to the original White Rabbit done by Grace Slick of Airplane when she was in The Great Society and somebody to Love as she brought those 2 songs over with her from The Great Society the band she was in before Jefferson Airplane. Listen to Rejoyce by The Airplane or Lather
You didn't understand Alice in wonderland? That's White Rabbit.
Quicksilver Messenger Service - What about me or Fresh Air
Yes, either one or both - lyrics still relevant today
Quite a few great legendary tunes as The Airplane, Jefferson Starship And Just Starship.Try reacting to Volunteers
Check out "Today" from them. An even different sound. Very, very pretty.
Crown of Creation and Wooden Ships will give you a better understanding of the breadth of their sound. Listen to the LP Surrealistic Pillow for a great variety of sound/styles.
Try their Wooden Ships.
Jane by starship, same singer from Elvin Bishop's band.
For your next Jefferson Airplane track, I'd try something from the excellent "Volunteers" album. Good Shepherd or Wooden Ships are my suggestions.
Try VOLUNTEERS from Woodstock by them!
I'll second that motion.
White rabbit is Alice in wonderland
I'm guilty of same stigma ..n I piss my own self off
cool
Hot Tuna!
Jane - Jefferson Starship
Great album.grace slick lead,Marty balin also sang lead .great musicians.I think grace may be the only one still living.
Try If you feel by Jefferson Airplane
I like the album "Bark Sessions" which is an in-studio recorded jam session for lack of a better descriptor. "Feel So Good" ua-cam.com/video/AfMPbwNoDho/v-deo.html and "Pretty as You Feel" ua-cam.com/video/PBhd5OTVykQ/v-deo.html are two of my favorite tunes on the album.
Of course it sounds familiar… you can’t go through 20 plus years of life and not have heard it somewhere.. or parts of it
Listen to this album when you can.
Friends section of Toy Machine's Welcome to Hell.... If you know you know...
Changed name to Jefferson Starship (1975?) and then to Starship.
