@@uweschaefer2231 I never had been given the chance to see Jefferson Airplane , but I did get to see Jefferson Starship in central park N.Y. . I also seen Hot Tuna with Juarma Kalckenen , Jack kassidy, Pappa John screech, and john Steele. Sorry about the spelling. Long ago, and far away.
Roger McGuinn once said that around 1967 Dave Crosby wanted to be in any band, except The Byrds. He also can be seen performing with Buffalo Springfield, during the Monterey festival, if memory serves me well....
@@johnwheet7037 -- What's he doing there? He, Jefferson Airplane, Joni Mitchell, and Stephen Stills were all guests on this episode of Dick Cavett's show. He's not "in the band" like some here seem to think, he's just jamming a bit with them. This episode was done and aired right after Woodstock. Full episode here: ua-cam.com/video/Rzq8LZKdilQ/v-deo.html
Looks like Nicky Hopkins on piano. I swear, that guy played on just about every song of consequence in the late 60s, early 70s. What a truly great talent and sorely missed.
Bands from this era: "We know you probably own the album this song is on, so we're gonna make it sound completely new. And then, because we're all actually talented musicians and love the music we play, we're just gonna jam for awhile. Oh, yeah, and this talented musician from another band can come up here and join in, too."
And we'll throw in quite possibly the best known session pianist of all time at 3:09 for good measure. Played with the Beatles, Stones, Kinks and everybody who was anybody.
If you dig this, check out "Won't You Try/Saturday Afternoon" from Woodstock. Not gonna say it's a better live performance but I think it showcases their range better and it's just epic.
Boy was this constantly played in 1967! The San Francisco sound marked the first U.S. rock that didn't imitate the British Invasion of Rock sound. Light My Fire would extend the L.A. Sound era shortly thereafter, changing AM Radio (back when cars were just starting to get FM on luxury models).
DON'T forget real, live Baby Boomers in the audience, doing their tribal mating dance. A few years later, crowds of like-minded folks would jam-pack Discos and popularize questionable fashions and music(and cocaine).
A lot of us baby boomers "outgrew" it. Not me. It was never over for me, but we do grow tired of the uphill battle for what seems like a lost cause these days. 😔
I still have peace, love and hope for the future, maybe it's because I do a lot of yoga and meditation, you can find peace in the midst of chaos, it's all mindset.
this was recorded on the dick cavett show on the day after woodstock. all these musicians performed there with their own bands and they have been up all of the previous night.
Been a long time since I've seen one of their live performances. God, they were great! Woodstock in 1969 was so full of talent and the audience were too busy enjoying the music, making love and, yes, doing some drugs. No guns, no fights, no judgment...we'll never see it again . David Crosby is a very talented musician. Many musicians of that time played with various groups. The music was important. Too bad some idiots focus on things they ASSume but are not privy to facts.
As for who's listening...well..me! Old enough to remember those times..the groups...and music. We thought THOSE were troubled times! Joke was on us I guess...
Dick Cavett was a great host and interviewer. I watched his show all the time back then. I saw this show and his interviews with Jimi Hendrix, John & Yoke and George Harrison. Thanks for posting this. Bring back fond memories.
it's just vitamin C , and the California fresh air and sunshine ( oh, different sunshine ? ), wait, those guys/gal were from San Francisco, and if they had fresh air there, they wouldn't have sour dough ,,, that would likely be impossible ???
it's interesting how tame somebody to love sounded, but what followed was really really good. the band got into it and more importantly the audience. that's when you know you are on to something. way good of dick to let them continue playing, even he seemed a bit intrigued!!
Such a shame Marty Balin’s mic was not working. U can tell he was trying to tell someone after he sung the 1st chorus. 😫He’s such a great singer…audience truly got robbed of great harmony vocals for that performance. Instead, people got stuck hearing Dave Crosby’s. 🙄😂Nevertheless, awesome band!!!
Does anyone recognize dave Crosby in the back.
my thoughts exactly, whats he doing there?
I did!

defiinitely him!
haha good pull. my man was everywhere and god dam could he play!
Yep, that's him. Played at Woodstock and on most tracks on Volunteers, which had much more piano than the previous studio album, Crown of Creation.
Can't beat the old fashioned dope smoking hippie music.
I'm smoking a joint now
@@leighdee2084🗣️💨💨💨😊
Good times
It was so innocent compared to now🥹
We are still listening in 2024! I thank u tube for finding these relics from the beginning of tv
Feb 2024
Grace Slick is my favorite female Rock and Roller vocalist of all time.
One of the most powerful voices of all time!
I watched this as a kid. 12 years old. You will never see this again in 10 lifetimes.
Grace Slick... wow, what a voice!!
What a great upload, even got Dave Crosby jamming 😎. Grace Slick never looked better 😘
Kids, this is what being musically talented, real and cohesive is.

And then, because we're all actually talented musicians and love the music we play, we're just gonna jam for awhile.

Underrated comment right here

Nicky was always great
Sums up live music in the late sixties/early seventies perfectly.
My favorite band of the 1960's. Even their studio albums were breath-taking.
Legend has it the song hasn't ended yet.
😂😂😂
Best comment🙏🏻
A real timeless music classic...and the voice of Grace is simply incredible!
The best live performance on UA-cam that I've seen of Jefferson Airplane ✈️✈️
Yes, I agree 😀😀👍🎉🇩🇪
If you dig this, check out "Won't You Try/Saturday Afternoon" from Woodstock. Not gonna say it's a better live performance but I think it showcases their range better and it's just epic.
just noticed David Crosby with the tambourine on the left side
I love the live and radio-unfriendly versions of all the greatest classic rock hits.
2024. Been a fan since the 60s.
🌈 Jah Bless 🌈 Yep, me too!
So fuckin’ heavy. Makes the hair on my arms stand up. They were killer live. Blessed I got to see them.
"Those Days" were a HELLUVA LOT BETTER than thay are NOW...
😎😎😎😎😎🌻🌻✌✌✌🐈
MAGA!!!
On the other hand, we didn't have microwaves or answering machines. Primitive.

I noticed the drummer playing with a cigarette in his mouth to Someone to love. That's one bad ass drummer.😊 Rock On!!
Spencer Dryden
Love seeing this again and again. I just saw Jorma and Jack on Thursday night - acoustic Hot Tuna.... Always fantastic - they were so great....
Grace Slick has the voice of a musical instrument.
Unfortunately, she stopped singing, and today she looks different.
@@jeanie5074 Most of us in our 80s look different from when we were in our 20s/early 30s.
David Crosby playing a mean tambourine.
For those wondering, yes this is '69, right after Woodstock. Grace is so effing cool.
LedHed Pb 207.20 🎶 🎸 🎹
Really cool of Dick to let them play this long version on his show. But he was very much into the Rock-N-Roll scene.
Grace Slick was a terrific vocalist and easy on the eye too.
Wonderful Grace
Who’s listening in 2024 for me.
Rock on
I am.UK
Me
Yeah, baby! No lip sync, and Dave Crosby, too! ❤
So cool to one of the biggest bands of the era standing around playing like they’re in someone’s garage. No lights, no huge stage just music!
DON'T forget real, live Baby Boomers in the audience, doing their tribal mating dance. A few years later, crowds of like-minded folks would jam-pack Discos and popularize questionable fashions and music(and cocaine).
And plenty of friends jamming too f****** cool that's the way music supposed to be
I saw this performed on YT at the Woodstock Festival on a Sunday Morning, what a way to start the day and the crowd were treated to something special.
Superb. And with a young Jake “the Snake” Roberts on backing vocals and tambourine. What a gem ….
Crosby was probably thinking, Dam If I had know I would have to shake this tambourine for 7 minutes I would never have gotten on stage!
😂
This has endured the time test magnificently. At first I thought that guy looks like David crosby. Thats because it is.
That’s a pretty good reason.
I absolutely dig Marty Balin. Rest In Peace my good man!
Back when live was live music! David Crosby on tambourine!
The Plane flying high, groov'in at an altitude we can all experience.. Love it !
The days when we had peace, love and hope for the future. Where did it all go. Namaste
A lot of us baby boomers "outgrew" it. Not me. It was never over for me, but we do grow tired of the uphill battle for what seems like a lost cause these days. 😔
I still have peace, love and hope for the future, maybe it's because I do a lot of yoga and meditation, you can find peace in the midst of chaos, it's all mindset.
those were the days! Freedom reigned in music -
Smiles, hi Carol 👋
The band at its absolute peak.
Strange this video came up on my feed. I was just at a music store playing an Epiphone Jack Casady Bass.
I was very fortunate to have seen them playing live in 1967.
The DIck Cavett show was really different than the other American talk shows of that time.
Yes,he was Kool !!!
Seriously that’s a pretty kickass drum intro.
Spencer Dryden, he didn't even put out his cigarette until halfway through White Rabbit.
Can't believe what a great singer Andrea Martin is... loved her on Second City
You didn't give the year it was recorded. Sometimes I forget bout Dick Cavett. Thanks for sharing.
The drummer for Jefferson Airplane is really killing it too.
Spencer Dryden. Criminally underrated if you ask me. Replaced Skip Spence around the same time Grace Slick replaced Signe Toly Anderson.
Talk about a blast from the past ☮️✌️🎸☮️😊
It amazes me nobody comments about the bald guy dancing. He was a cool addition to the show.
Absolutely Rockin'... and Jorma Kaukonen top man and top guitarist owning this.. x
Minimal gear, pillow inside the bass drum n it still sounds great!! Have always had a liking for this band.
I love JA and their music is amazing, immortal and unmistakable thx for sharing bro
In the 70a we were traveling to the future but we never arrived there somewhere money got more important than innovation, passion and art.
Amen!
☺️ Audience dancing along is so cool, I’d be doing “it” too!! 💃🎶
3:04 Marty, the coolest tambourine player ever.
Lmfao
@@alexcaulfield2214 😆😆
No, that would be Davy Jones.
If you'll notice closely, Marty Balin is wearing an 'Abbey Road' / 'Beatles Again' style Frock Coat like George's and Ringo's. Cool!
A Flash Back To 1969, All Starting With The Summer Of Love Back In 1967
This was when the airplane was flying high and Grace was truly Slick 😅❤😂
Before that horrible, We built this city, period.
The good old days...
I saw David Crosby. I never knew he was once with Jefferson Airplane.
Just hanging around. Crosby could not get the Byrds to record his songs but Jefferson Airplane would (Wooden Ships, Triad).
this was recorded on the dick cavett show on the day after woodstock. all these musicians performed there with their own bands and they have been up all of the previous night.

Smiles, hi Kathleen 👋
Grace's voice was so beautiful and powerful. It must have been impossible to keep up with her for Marty Balin and others in the band.
The harmony between their two voices was beautiful.
David Crosby (RIP) on the back vocals, as well!
JA's great performance!
Love the groove build up
Proper music, songs and JA and the lead vocals of Grace Slick..👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
She could really manage her voice. Pure talent.
Like a goatherder.
Ах, какое время было!!!
Да здравствует рок-н-ролл!!!
Considering the low power PA in this performance Grace Slick did a great job.
Agreed.
Death is unrelenting. The only people on that stage who are still living are Grace, Jorma and Jack. And Dick Cavett himself.
Jorma and Jack are still playing in Hot Tuna
This was 2 days after they performed at Woodstock.
Jack Casady just rips the bass on this song!!!!!!!
Cassidy is the best rock bassist period.
@@leighdee2084I’m not sure about that, but I also can’t dispute it.
The jam at the end is early electric Hot Tuna.
@@davidbonds3571Oh Yeah! I love Hot Tuna! 🎶😍
You should hear him on the Bless Its Pointed Little Head album. It's my favorite version of Somebody to Love.
She is such a force vocally right here. G S ❤
THE QUEEN OF ROCK....GRACE SLICK!!!! LEGAND!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
As for who's listening...well..me! Old enough to remember those times..the groups...and music. We thought THOSE were troubled times! Joke was on us I guess...
Nonostante stiano in uno studio televisivo, che energia! Un mito!
Yes this is a World that no Longer Exists, sad but true (notice David Crosby far left) love this song. ♥
They all became Corporatist Yuppies... BlackRock owns most of their music and tells them what to do.

It's sad to see Grace in her later years, She was Beautiful.😢
She still is.
Get back to us in your later daze, with your before & then, photo ID
It’ll happen to you
We all can see who was there, listen instead. Videos available from that period are scarce.
That was tight and groovy!
Who's listening the year 2023 with me
I AM........😎✌🌻🌿
Yours truly. Ride Jefferson Airplane.
For sure ….West Sussex UK.
🤘
I am 😊👍
If you didn’t live in this era, you really don’t know what you’re talking about……
Fantastic. If was fun to be a part of this scene. Sorry you missed it!
Ahh, the ‘60s
My man with the hapenin' tie is getting his groove on! 🤣☮️

August 19th, 1969, fresh off Woodstock and either stoned or hungover.
it's just vitamin C , and the California fresh air and sunshine ( oh, different sunshine ? ), wait, those guys/gal were from San Francisco, and if they had fresh air there, they wouldn't have sour dough ,,, that would likely be impossible ???
Love the way "Bob from accounts" is going for it.. 4:44
Accountability, baby‼️
@@yournamehere1886 yes, I do hope they we're a thing.. 😁
They went to town on those guitars!
Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, Starship.
Currently Jefferson Starship.
it's interesting how tame somebody to love sounded, but what followed was really really good. the band got into it and more importantly the audience. that's when you know you are on to something. way good of dick to let them continue playing, even he seemed a bit intrigued!!
They probably all dropped before the show.❤
The war had to be stopped, and someone had to do it...
Bemused more like.........it was their stage, they claimed it! ❤️
First heard this in 1966 in Fairbanks Ak! Love this song!!!!!
Such a shame Marty Balin’s mic was not working. U can tell he was trying to tell someone after he sung the 1st chorus. 😫He’s such a great singer…audience truly got robbed of great harmony vocals for that performance. Instead, people got stuck hearing Dave Crosby’s. 🙄😂Nevertheless, awesome band!!!
Bella canzone,bellissima Grace !!!
her vocal pitch is so good imagine then time and in- ears:)
Greatness in composition and execution.
Cavett was a great guy.
Yes. Kind and thoughtful.
he and Janis Joplin were close.
С удовольствием прослушал и смотрел,вдохнул воздух 70-х.
How the heck did David Crosby get into that jam?
They all hung out together in those days , peace !
what wonderful guitars!
