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.
Yo por supuesto!! Los conocimos en México en en 1969 con los acetatos. Y todos la banda estábamos enamorados de Grace Slick... Gran banda de todos los tiempos....
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.
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...
@@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
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).
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.
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.
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).
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.
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 ???
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 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!!
Audience dancing reminds me of the couple time I went to Woodstock movie…..Man people were dancing in the isles!!!! And No one bitch complained or caused a fuss about. There were more in the isles than in their seats. Ushers were directing the line of dancers….way back when tha Amazing move first came out
Well things have changed. I went to a Moody Blues concert in 2010 and those old folks did not like me dancing and were trying to make me sit down(even pushing chairs into my legs). Heck I drove over 500 miles one way to go to the concert at Hard Rock Orlando. I actually am a good dancer and can stay in a tight spot, I use to dance six hours a day and had a resting heart rate of 35 bpm. People get older and more angry I think. If only those old folks younger selves could have seen the way they would behave 45 years later.

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.
Who's Watching This in 2024!

Underrated comment right here

Nicky was always great
Sums up live music in the late sixties/early seventies perfectly.
I watched this as a kid. 12 years old. You will never see this again in 10 lifetimes.
Grace Slick is my favorite female Rock and Roller vocalist of all time.
One of the most powerful voices of all time!
Grace Slick... wow, what a voice!!
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🥹
Kids, this is what being musically talented, real and cohesive is.
Legend has it the song hasn't ended yet.
😂😂😂
Best comment🙏🏻
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.
Grace Slick was a terrific vocalist and easy on the eye too.
"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.
2024. Been a fan since the 60s.
🌈 Jah Bless 🌈 Yep, me too!
My favorite band of the 1960's. Even their studio albums were breath-taking.
If you didn’t live in this era, you really don’t know what you’re talking about……
Yeah, baby! No lip sync, and Dave Crosby, too! ❤
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...
Does anyone recognize dave Crosby in the back.
my thoughts exactly, whats he doing there?
I did!

David Crosby playing a mean tambourine.
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!
😂
A real timeless music classic...and the voice of Grace is simply incredible!
What a great upload, even got Dave Crosby jamming 😎. Grace Slick never looked better 😘
just noticed David Crosby with the tambourine on the left side

I absolutely dig Marty Balin. Rest In Peace my good man!
Who's listening the year 2023 with me
I AM........😎✌🌻🌿
Yours truly. Ride Jefferson Airplane.
For sure ….West Sussex UK.
🤘
I am 😊👍
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
It amazes me nobody comments about the bald guy dancing. He was a cool addition to the show.
Love seeing this again and again. I just saw Jorma and Jack on Thursday night - acoustic Hot Tuna.... Always fantastic - they were so great....
The DIck Cavett show was really different than the other American talk shows of that time.
Yes,he was Kool !!!
So fuckin’ heavy. Makes the hair on my arms stand up. They were killer live. Blessed I got to see them.
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.
I love the live and radio-unfriendly versions of all the greatest classic rock hits.
Wonderful Grace
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.
Minimal gear, pillow inside the bass drum n it still sounds great!! Have always had a liking for this band.
Back when live was live music! David Crosby on tambourine!
Can't believe what a great singer Andrea Martin is... loved her on Second City
The good old days...
This was when the airplane was flying high and Grace was truly Slick 😅❤😂
Before that horrible, We built this city, period.
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.
those were the days! Freedom reigned in music -
Smiles, hi Carol 👋
The band at its absolute peak.
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
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.
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
Seriously that’s a pretty kickass drum intro.
Spencer Dryden, he didn't even put out his cigarette until halfway through White Rabbit.
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.
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.
A Flash Back To 1969, All Starting With The Summer Of Love Back In 1967
3:04 Marty, the coolest tambourine player ever.
Lmfao
@@alexcaulfield2214 😆😆
No, that would be Davy Jones.
The Plane flying high, groov'in at an altitude we can all experience.. Love it !
Strange this video came up on my feed. I was just at a music store playing an Epiphone Jack Casady Bass.
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!
Superb. And with a young Jake “the Snake” Roberts on backing vocals and tambourine. What a gem ….
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
Talk about a blast from the past ☮️✌️🎸☮️😊
I was very fortunate to have seen them playing live in 1967.
Jack Cassidy one of the finest bassists of his era guy had a style of his own and a knack for not repeating himself 👍👍👏👏‼️
Casady is still a fine bassist with Hot Tuna.
I stopped him for running a red light in San Rafael CA about 35 yrs ago. Real nice guy. Steve Perry also a very friendly guy
@@w.a.c.5027 Do you recall exactly where the stop took place? I live in Marin and am interested in historical trivia.
Cavett was a great guy.
Yes. Kind and thoughtful.
Ahh, the ‘60s

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.
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 ???
David Crosby (RIP) on the back vocals, as well!
JA's great performance!
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.

☺️ Audience dancing along is so cool, I’d be doing “it” too!! 💃🎶
If you'll notice closely, Marty Balin is wearing an 'Abbey Road' / 'Beatles Again' style Frock Coat like George's and Ringo's. Cool!
Grace Slick the Voice that Launched a Million Trips 🥰 Is what she was known for 😉
Considering the low power PA in this performance Grace Slick did a great job.
Agreed.
She could really manage her voice. Pure talent.
Like a goatherder.
Love the way "Bob from accounts" is going for it.. 4:44
Accountability, baby‼️
@@yournamehere1886 yes, I do hope they we're a thing.. 😁
She is such a force vocally right here. G S ❤
Crosby trying hard not to create problems. He's following Marty's lead in singing back-up and hitting the tambourine.
That's funny.
They went to town on those guitars!
Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, Starship.
Currently Jefferson Starship.
Love the groove build up
The good old day's.....when music was real
You didn't give the year it was recorded. Sometimes I forget bout Dick Cavett. Thanks for sharing.
Double tambourine with Balin and Crosby!!!
Saw many times in San Francisco and Chicago 1968/9/70
In the year of 2024 and so on...
what wonderful guitars!
My man with the hapenin' tie is getting his groove on! 🤣☮️
Spencer Dryden
Ах, какое время было!!!
Да здравствует рок-н-ролл!!!
Grace ❤
We all can see who was there, listen instead. Videos available from that period are scarce.
THE QUEEN OF ROCK....GRACE SLICK!!!! LEGAND!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
Great solo on the tambourine .
I didn’t realize Clint Howard could dance like that! Dude has “da funk” down in him!
The First time ill See that with Dave crosby
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.
Gracie Slick sang with such intense passion!
That was tight and groovy!
First heard this in 1966 in Fairbanks Ak! Love this song!!!!!
Yes. I saw David Crosby.
Smiles, hi Marilyn 👋

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! ❤️
her vocal pitch is so good imagine then time and in- ears:)
