I wouldn’t be surprised if it was Lennon‘s idea to also do a rooftop concert he was a voracious newspaper reader and probably found out about the Airplane’s impromptu performance.
@@AmpasaurusWrecks could have been McCartney too - he was a fan of Jack Casady's bass and visited them in the studio during the recording of After Bathing at Baxters
I remember walking by and being blown away. Couldn't believe the airplane was playing for free on the rooftop. Caught a pic with my iPhone and shared on whatsapp. A couple days later Marty balin and Paul kantner liked me on facebook. Just kidding. Marty didn't like the pic at all. 60s just died that day for me.
I deepty prefer this version to the "synchronized" one with wrong "improved" colors and even "improved" sound. Not to mention the other additional "info" kitsch. I dont remember 1 PM, but this one "has energy"........
If only the cameraman had kept his focus on the band, instead of panning all over the place at spectators and buildings! I would have loved to watch Grace while she sang "some one stood in the window and cried one tear . . ."
and whose idea was it, to frame the negress standing behind the screen door, or the first cop on scene with his sturdy Italian face under an officers hat, or the stern german woman glaring at the racket, the meteoric rise and fall of RCA - one can 'hear' the music and 'see' the people reacting, but someone, not just anyone, brought this all together... fly Jefferson Airplane get you there on time
If you look at everything The Beatles did there was something that directly influenced them. Which points to the fact that not much in art is tuely original. The Beatle were great at copying ideas and making them better‼️
Cops had to bust up the party 'cuz, shit man, you can't have people deviating from the norm and spontaneously expressing their creativity. What kind of world would it be if people were allowed to spontaneously express their creativity??? The prison guards in Washington wouldn't like that. No, no, no. They wouldn't like that at all.
We have to make spaces for each other. Taking has to be accompanied by reciprocal giving. OTOH, subsequent police forces learned their lesson and were smart enough not to *arrest* the Beatles and U2.
The Beatles didn’t copy the idea. They were offered the idea by record executives since they were recording an album in a building/studio. The rooftop was a last minute idea. They plan was to perform on live television for about 20 minutes after four-year break from live performances.
The description says July 12th....but people are wearing jackets & coats. Wonder what day it was? Freedom baby....yeahhhh!! Until the cops showed up. 😔
He and his crew were filming JA live in 1968 for a documentary, not quite realized, called 'One American Movie', on a hotel rooftop in midtown Manhattan. (Take that, Billy Preston and Paul McCartney!)
Grace Slick is/was dangerously beautiful....she could raze walls with that vibratto!.
Right? My god, the power of that woman's voice.
no offense.. today she doesnt have any teeth and is quite fat.. but back then she was a natural beauty that is for sure.
@@DJBuglip yep. one of the few voices that can still break out the chills.
Soooo grace did it be for the Beatles huh... bloody brilliant,😅👍🏻
"before", not "be for".
Rest in Peace Jean-Luc Godard... He filmed this
Really? thats brilliant
@@user-hv5uy7ct6g Yess!
Jefferson Airplane, the best!
Three members of the Airplane are still alive: Grace, Jorma and Jack. Jorma and Jack continue to tour as Hot Tuna.
Best T-shirt I ever saw said if You Don't know Jack then you don't know Jorma.
@@steveshattah Love it.
Grace just kicked so much ass and was beautiful doing it.
Love this, we need more roof top concerts
ROOF-TOP a year before the Beatles.
+bodensick Two months. Also, the Grateful Dead played the rooftop of the Chelsea Hotel
8/10/1967 for the Warhol crowd.
Shows you how long the idea was around doesn't it.
Get Back and go home to ur mommy`
@dTom Stamos they didn't suck, they were just different
it's been done
This vintage video was filmed by Jean-Luc Godard -- the #FrenchNewVave master
majserstuk
It would be inconceivable today to see some kinda this... !!!!
So many unique bands in those days, making a statement without being violent. And their point was made with an explanation point!
Maybe the bands themselves weren’t violent, but the 60s were full of domestic terrorist and political violence.
Sure, like the Weathermen

Roof top rules! Sky's the limit, Jefferson Airplane takes it higher and on time(:
Very good!
A perfect mixture of people of the 50s are like wtf and the new generation then like 🤪
Dot, how we need that spirit...!
The bells will overcome gravitation...Thoth is conquering....!

Wow, I never knew about the Rooftop Concert !! And 'House at Pooniel Corner' is the perfect opening song !
Gorgeous Grace Slick free spirit ingenue mesmerising crowds back in the formative years when the airplane ruled the airwaves with psychedelic intensity few have ever come close to matching .
If they had gotten to play a full set, it would have been epic
R.I.P. Godard
I made it back again to play this real be!
Whoever shot this video,is a genius ✨🧠
It was shot by Jean-Luc Godard!
@@TheSecondNature I appreciate that
When Marty said "Wake up you fuckers!" The guy in the window was like "ah shit, here we go again."
I wished I lived those Years
Yep, but hey nowadays were in the presence of Billie eillish , sixnine and rap. Good time to be alive..
taylor swift an boynce @@xMorbidArtx
same so bad😎✌🏻
Big change from 'Love Me Do'...This band's songs really illuminate when played live.
you do realize this is jefferson airplane? not the beatles
you do realize he is kidding? not being serious
Do you realize the psychedelic shift of the Airplane was a quantum leap from the 'Love Me Do' era? Grace Slick is a love weapon lasering Manhattan.
Exiles800 Marty's not far behind either. ;)
@@johnnyramon5602
Of course he does.
5:20 Godly bassline
This music and time are immortal !
Desearía que en este tiempo hubiera cosas así de fantásticas que la música te hiciera olvidar todo por un momento ♥️♥️

Thanks, Mo! I'd like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves, and I hope we've passed the audition.

@@haintedhouse2990 turns out it was Ringo and I think Glyn Johns. And it doesn’t seem to be them just trying to copy.
They must have been doing a gig at the Fillmore East at the time
This is music and psychedelia!
I bet the night that led to this show was awesome
Dichosa generación nuestra! 💓
Ritchie Havens made a cameo
Godard right at the beginning.
Pretty sure the couple at 1:47 is Geraldine Page and Rip Torn.
@@jmulvey371 Probably. They were in the movie.
This is brilliant!
The irony is that we need this more right now than ever. Welcome back to the cold war.
this is the first rock rooftop gig ever
No, Grateful Dead did It before.

Feed your Head.
Oh hell YES.
The good old days
Keep it down I'm trying to sleep!
This was after the Beatles. Dig how Grace cracks up Marty pissing about
Man at three minutes through its starts peaking like an hour in on an acid trip
"dead-center, deep as death..."
Déjà vu. Beatles rooftop concert
30 January 1969. The best.
lamest
a long way from the summer of love.
Far out man! ✌
wonderfull
I can see Godard at the beginning of the movie
Never see👀 that again! 👌👍😎$$$❤😮
Ist Super Geil!HAMMER!!!! TOP!!!
At 7:08 the NYPD arrest actor Rip Torn for harassing them.
interesting...he was also long john silver on the album poster of the same name....
One of many encounters Mr. Torn had with law enforcement in his lifetime!
FREE MUSIC FREE LOVE FULTON STREET
World's first thrash metal song
Jens yes
No, it was Alternative rock Metal is Black Sabbaths baby
All I hear is 1960s psychedelic rock. Nothing metal/alternative or any of that pussy "safe space" edgelord noise rock.
@@MarioCavett Conventional take, my man. I was talking about one riff, not the legacy of the band. Also, listen to the epic lyrics.
@@To.Si.Ma. That's not an insult
Freedom, блять! and my love Grace Slick!)
and no grace wasnt the airplane as stunning as she is marty is the airplane no marty nothing

That is so gritty late 60s New York City that grimy look the cops with the New York accent threatening to put I’m in jail(dirty hippies a)
El tipo de gafas oscuras de la ventana es el autor de este momento histórico...acaba de morir hace unos dias...GODARD & JEFFERSON FOREVER
voices similar to the Spanish flamenco 'cantejondo'.
Grateful D & Jeffs Airplane 'made' terraces before The Beatles.
NICE HAT JACK C.
they broke every rule in the book. until Jim Morrison came along and wrote a new book with no rules
stripervince1 For sure the Doors were unmatched.
Well there was Iggy's ground glass period.
The doors are just heroin music tbh
Meanwhile the Velvet Underground threw the book in the garbage
He just adapted Nietzsche to rock n roll.

I dont understand the marty balin thing... Terrible, Grace was a true artist ♥️
Interesting. Was this before or after the Beatles last gathering?
Take a trip!
Inspiration for the Beatles?
No doubt about it.
The idea was around before the beatles people did that back in the 50's thats how the rooftop partys got started.
RICHIE HAVENS AT 406
Paul Kantner wearing a glove on his right hand at 3:38. wow. What was the building?
John Spears 49th Street between 5th and 6th Ave
Nicky Hopkins on the keys?
Got
I have to questions
1-what song are they playing
2-the Beatles copied this idea
Listed right there it's called the house at pooneli corners from an album called crown of creation.
The Beatles didn’t copy the idea. They were offered the idea by record executives since they were recording an album in a building/studio. The rooftop was a last minute idea. They plan was to perform on live television for about 20 minutes after four-year break from live performances.

It was written on December 7th. In the rest of the world, month and day are reversed!
gotta love that @@MAntonioAndrade
HOT TUNA MO FOS GET IN THAT FISH
Figures the cameraman had to be on acid as well
jefferson succumbed this record to a band little more famous than them. superlative, anyways.
No record was succumbed, if the record was for the first rooftop concert.
What Godard doing here?
He and his crew were filming JA live in 1968 for a documentary, not quite realized, called 'One American Movie', on a hotel rooftop in midtown Manhattan. (Take that, Billy Preston and Paul McCartney!)
Shame about film quality. Grace wonderful as usual. Compare the cops here with the English Bobbies in Let it Be.
The Beatles copied the rooftop idea, maybe they will admit that one day? U2 and red hot chilli peppers did to much later.
prolly had better sound 57 years later !
LOL! Hardly the same!
The Police ac tally did a good job of handling this.
They stole this idea from u2
No! they stole from Justin berver whatever the spelling ....!
ha-ha!
