Molly Tuttle channels Grace Slick "White Rabbit" 10/9/22 Portland, ME

[@MateoMartin1]

The fiddle brought forth a feeling of chaos and anxiety that Alice may very well have been experiencing. Extraordinary.

[@sundaynightdrunk]

Just fucking amazing. So glad to see music like this is still living.

[@shmulikanglister]

Great rendition. The violinist and the banjo player killed it.

[@FunsongsMusicByPeterRahill]

Looks like the most-fun pajama party I've ever heard or seen.

[@hogcaller]

Molly is awesome. This is one of the best versions I've ever heard. This should put a big smile on Grace Slicks face !!!

[@LessThanFaceProductions1]

Glad that you enjoyed!

[@Ken77114]

I saw Grace & The Airplane in 1968 in SF ( before Woodstock!) do this! This flat nails it Molly. Great group!!!! Fun being 82!!!! 😎👍🏻🏄🇺🇸❤️

[@beachcomber4141]

This is so cool to see Molly and Co. take on these songs and turn them into supremely entertaining artful performances. What a band, and she is just amazing.

[@strumbum946]

WOW! Truly AWESOME cover of one of the most iconic Rock song of the late 1960s. Never dreamed I would hear White Rabbit sound like a mixture of Bluegrass and Middle Eastern Folk music. 👍✌️

[@RolandTumble23]

There's a lot of Middle East in this song to start with. If you haven't, look up the pre-JA version by The Great Society. You may not wind up liking it (personally, I love it), but if you like the song, you should hear it at least once.

[@rcjr.7725]

That violin solo was sick, they're all sick,I love every freaking minute of it great job freaking awesome taking a great classic and put a nice spin on it very nice

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

I saw Grace 48 years ago performing this song. A magical experience. I had flashbacks. Merci Beaucoup, Y'all.

[@Andrew_M_Ward]

The harmonic tension in that fiddle solo ripped my soul out of my body through my eyeballs... Incredible (holy crap) 2:22 I get that the fretless nature of the fiddle lends itself to tension but she absolutely worked that like a master class exhibit...

[@MissGrimke]

Exactly!

[@dfmcintyre129]

And throw a little violin from David LaFlamme in that mix too.

[@wooferdevlin3571]

On Planet Molly, this is just a normal day. Down here, this is a shockwave of inspirational nutty. The song, solos, mood, setting, costumes: brilliant fun. Molly is on to something here. 🦊

[@davidhale9672]

Channeling Jorma and Grace at the same time is uncharted territory. The flannels are jarringly awesome. Thanks for this!

This band is so awesomely talented. Bravo to Molly for surrounding herself with these amazing musicians. She's a super nova by herself and could easily take all the spotlight with her immense talents. But this band is so much more than the sum of its parts. Hope I get the chance to see them live soon. What a treat!

[@seamusmcfreak]

That was hands down the best cover of that song I’ve seen!

[@Iam_perfectly_imperfect]

Absolutely nailed it. Grace should be proud.

[@J0NNYBOY]

Best White Rabbit since the Airplane. Fantastic stuff!

[@ImaDogTrainer]

Well, that was fun!

[@richardmathews651]

I saw both Jefferson Airplane and Starship perform this live and Molly really nails the lead guitar and vocals. She and Golden Highway are just amazing on this fascinating rendition of an iconic song 😎

[@EaglePicking]

Not wanting to be a party pooper, but let's get realistic: she does not "nail" the vocals. She's an exceptional guitar player. She's a great musician. Sure. There's a lot to love and I really don't want to sound like I'm trying to be mean, but her vocals are not in the range of the greats like Grace Slick. Listen to the original and then listen to this. The first has a great singer in it, while the second has a great guitarist in it who also can sing pretty well. They're in a different league. That said: I really did enjoy this live cover, especially the solos.

[@cynthiamadrid1430]

Cool version... I was 17 when I saw Grace Slick do this... 1968... long ago...very cool..2023 Feed your head with beautiful pictures.

[@tomsteinberg8106]

Others are covering this psychedelic anthem, but this band has made it their own. What a pleasure for an old man see -- and hear.

[@4catsnow]

Grace sang it with an ever-increasing urgency that climaxed into desperation,, at the same time matching that with what appeared to be unlimited horsepower for the vocal range...This is why her performance remains a timeless classic to this day..

[@garypaquin9571]

I have never known a banjoist like Kyle Tuttle who could play so many different styles of music and not sound gimmicky. He just played a version of Jorma Kaukogan’s acid- rock solo and it sounded authentic. From an acoustic bluegrass player!! Amazing.

[@thomasfoss9963]

I've seen Jorma (Kaukonen) and Jack Cassady play it, Dark Star Orquestra play it, and now Molly Tuttle!!??!! Wow--- interesting!!! I'm not familiar with the band here---- What else did they play on this set?

[@dennismccunney4462]

I'm a 60s leftover. I was around back then. I have the vinyl. I saw Grace and the Airplane perform this live. White Rabbit done an bluegrass? Yes, and it's wonderful, and it works. Molly's vocals are perfect and the bluegrass arrangement is awe inspiring. Thank you for posting this..

[@scrotiepig]

Yep ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@jcavilia1]

Yes, it does work, and it's not surprising that the bluegrass arrangement fits. The Airplane's guitarist, Jorma Kaukonen, played "old-timey" music before his time with the Airplane, and continues to do that for many years since. BTW, I'm another of those 60's holdovers. I heard the Airplane live once (for free, in Golden Gate Park, and the Grateful Dead also played). Those are some memories, aren't they? (Even if a little hazy at times).

[@jcx5659]

This is the best cover of this tune ever.........

[@apgwilym]

I never thought anyone, but Grace could sing this. I was wrong. Just wish the Airplane could see and hear this.

Me too!

Modern Blugrass is so exciting, the respect for tradition and the openness to experimentation and influence from other genres is unapparelled today. Molly Tuttle is right on the cutting edge of it all. So good.

[@CR-qp3dc]

Amazing cover of a classic rock song.

[@markmaxfield8274]

Great cover! I love when unusual instruments are used (either unusual in themselves, like a hurdy-gurdy or didgeridoo, or unusual for the song, as in this case). The solos were terrific...I particularly loved the violin. Faithful to the song, while also putting their own stamp on it!
