[@smanticus]

Jesus, her voice is SO POWERFUL.

[@Cryptinox]

Don't take God's name in vain

[@pariahnation1284]

@cryptonox Jesus is not the name of God. Try Jehovah. Jesus is the Son of Jehovah God. PERIOD

[@smanticus]

@@Cryptinox Christ, don’t be so touchy

[@johndeleone6360]

When it comes to Jefferson Airplane, I just have to say thank you Grace Slick. Your music,your words helped me get through some hard times while I was in the Army.

[@luiscalcano4359]

My uncle was kia in SouthVietnams Central Highlands mid-3/1968, tail end of TET, 10days B-4 my 11th bday near Pleiku. also knew dudes sent there as early as late Summer 65 til 1969, the last one came home by late 1971!

[@sbobb5421]

Bad ass tune man. It will never, ever be topped. Never gets old….can hear over and over again.

[@megmacqueen3441]

Fabulous! I had this album and played it all the time. Sometimes I feel really nostalgic for the music of that era.

[@andybenitez]

Hi Meg

[@mattmannist]

LOL....I can remember watching this tv program and my grandmother was in the room too, and she said, "My God, that looks like something they show crazy people!"..LOL..well when you are right..

[@bkungl1953]

The bands, today, are not as great as the bands from the 60s and 70s. The bands, like Jefferson Airplane, are gone but they will never be forgotten!

[@ctwatcher]

1973 in Sacramento, CA, 2nd row and saw Jefferson Airplane and locked eyes with Grace Slick during singing of this song...what a wonderful day!

[@adonian]

Lucky bastard lol

[@shuroom57]

Oh yeah? well I spoke to her over the radio on KFRC in San Francisco in 2000, and refuted her claim in an earlier magazine interview that "....nobody wants to f*ck an old woman". But, locking eyes with her, those eyes, that woman.....I think we've got a tie here.

[@miltonwilliams168]

Grace Slick undoubtedly was one of the greatest singer's in the hard rock era. Not only was she beautiful but her voice was so strong and powerful it would just blow your mine.

[@nathansciarone5627]

+Milton Williams .it aint hard rock seriously

[@miltonwilliams168]

+Nathan Sciarone Would it have been called acid rock?

[@nathansciarone5627]

psychedelic music or hippie music or you could call it pop like the Beatles were known as pop music in the sixties i dunno but it aint hard rock i can tell you that for free i was active in the 60's anyway i wouldn't remember a thing apart from the music and the experiences

[@billmc56]

I am 55...man I miss this music....SOOO glad I got to live during this time!! Music just seemed SO RAW!!

[@srhcb1]

In the summer of 1967 my friend and I had a job cleaning up his grandfather's theatre which had suffered minor fire damage. We created a major scandal in a small town in Northern MN when we found enough letters to put a sign on the marquee - "Seek White Rabbits". The cops made us take it down.

[@spiceworm8102]

+steve baker Haha. Awesome story.

[@FernRoses]

1967 must’ve been fabulous.

[@scotthughberry]

Far FUCKING out!!!!! Remember this like it was yesterday. Wait, wasn't it?

[@robertfontaine4817]

Yes,yes it was. :)

[@mar1on]

Those beautiful eyes of hers, I feel like they are looking right at my soul

[@SATAN1KO]

"One pill makes you larger...one pill makes you small..." I love this song more than words can explain.

[@bananaman2157]

I just injected 3 whole Marijuanas...

[@sminkycorp]

ROFL

[@choosetolivefree]

+The War Doctor No doubt this man overdosed from all those Marijuanas and died.

[@NaYawkr]

nobody gives a rats azz.

[@TheParamountPrincess]

OMG! Smoothers Brothers!! I forgot about them!! Oh... and I trully love this song and her voice makes this song rush thru my blood like soldiers on a mission to my heart and soul... RLM

[@marcfedak]

Still a mind blowing band and song, which epitomizes the liberated, innovating optimism of Haight Ashbury in 1966-7.

[@bmy8459]

I love how she doesn't have to do any crazy runs or hit super high notes to impress people. Her voice is just beautiful and powerful plain and simple

[@tryfishin9]

i had a great trip watching this, it was wonderful, thinking about driving 90 mph on my way to Las Vegas.

[@dampendamp1441]

Grace was the first lady of hard rock but gets no credit for it.

[@berniehoe9960]

dampen damp that’s probably due to her choosing to stay out of the public eye, if she had chose to continue with her career, write more books, maybe produce a few songs, or even have a social media account she would most likely still be incredibly famous. Notice how from 2005-2013 no one really talked much about Bowie, then he released a new album and people went crazy. Same with grace.

[@polikwaptiwache397]

dampen damp: Her appearance at Woodstock and in concerts says it all.... She doesn't need a title or recognition when her experience speaks for itself.

[@lyndevore3902]

Jefferson Airplane fucked Gracie out Of Her Award It was Gracie's voice That made Jefferson Air plane ! This is Bull Shit ! Gracie Deservers Better Than THIS shit !

[@srtivingartist2190]

Grace Slick is an amazing artist,singer/songwriter and is an insiration to all female vocalists.

[@judeolson]

Thank you. This is wonderfully iconic. Is there anyone else out there who remembers watching this episode of the The Somother's Brother's Show? It looks so cheesy now, but looking back... ahhhhh we all were so hopeful and progressive thinking, what the ????? happened?

[@texasbrian]

Grace's voice is still amazing, and vastly underrated. So powerful!

[@wari223]

Good stuff, back when you could actually understand the words they sang.

[@anitahuie1145]

wari223 well said without disrespectful.

[@anitahuie1145]

Jefferson starship Y

[@brucepowell9252]

Smokin 60s, good stuff!

[@philmurphy995]

The Jefferplane...were the American Beatles..they could no wrong and this as there best TV show appeareance with the best light show and best improve vocals as from Grace Slick et, al..

[@Chobits099]

My Chemistry teacher told me she met the lead singer ,I guess she must have been tripping balls when she was young

[@ertraccia]

Beautiful era and music. I wish I was there.

[@Ted6976]

These two songs are one of the best simbols of the 60's. I really love it.

[@tofukronosnl]

And still people think that Alice in wonderland is a child story.

[@LedZepp543]

man those classic guitars just have the magic sound to my ear

[@nocka555]

I just smoked my first banana listening to this! Far out, man.

[@mariazo]

I came here after the horror of "We Built This City" to cleanse my ears. It worked.

[@andromedastar1]

Great voice, intense delivery, awesome musicians--rock stars from my 60-70's generation are awesomesauce

[@nightrider836]

Loved you then Grace and I still do, peace sweatheart.

[@jamesray1473]

J

[@jameslye1899]

FYI...A Jefferson Airplane was a roach clip...Anyway....Gracie and Janis...Two voices from heaven....But Gracie had that certain whatever...Watching her in concert was an acid trip without the acid....Or with the acid...Whatever...Peace and Tranquility

[@johnmonk2550]

Didn't know about the roach clip... Grace & Janis. :-)

[@hannahlornitzo6802]

I remember looking up this song twenty years later. I couldn't think of the name to the song, so I told the D.J. Feed your head, and he played the song...

[@raymondmassey1]

The song White Rabbit made Grace a STAR and revived the sales of hookah pipes over night. The song Somebody to Love was written by Darby Slick, Grace's brother-in-law when they were members of the band The Great! Society.

[@blowry8887]

when I was young we didn't have a color tv so I had to do drugs to see all the colors.

[@windstorm1000]

Her voice is an elemental force-- like the north wind--chill, beautiful, erotic and just slightly terrifying.

[@professormonocle57]

I enjoyed the talk show hosts comments. Hey banana fans!

[@Harry07762]

Or just drop a tab

[@GUNSLINGERofZION]

i love that this vhs has been played so much it's starting to warp. classic.

[@ianedmonds9191]

Feed your head. :-D

[@philp2088]

classic acid

[@OldSchoolMinded]

Yeah. And marijuana : )

[@billwillard6828]

I don't ever recall seeing this. The audio quality is great, considering the technology at the time. I think I was about 12, and this was maybe the third or fourth album I ever owned. I still have the original pressing to this day.

[@smichaels10]

What does "feed your head" mean?

[@hamzah938]

Time to get 'high'

[@wondermash1720]

heed your head. like watch out for your head.

[@thegael44]

mash gee feed for God's sake. feed you head - keep getting higher and higher. just watch how you mix the uppers and the downers.

[@andrer.newcomb6516]

I remember Mom giving a cola to me from a black men's bar AND I was to give the another to my brother. I ended up in hospital and she told me that what happened was that a hairy caterpillar went down my shirt on my back. "smokin' caterpillar". Everyone called her "mom" . . . she was NOT welcome at St. Andrew's Church on Christmas Eve. Your children would NOT be safe. I never was. Everyone loved her.

[@Adhansstuff]

what?

[@Pema50]

Great great band. Classic tracks.

[@isoron]

A total classic from it's time - I was actually chasing rabbits! And who in his right mind titled a Philosophy paper "When the Truth id Found to be Lies." But I got a B at JHU in 67!

[@laotzu11235]

Hey Francisco I noticed your avatar picture. Cool man, it just turned midnight where I live. Happy "Bicycle Day", 70th anniversary. Thank you Albert Hoffman. Thank you Thomas B. Roberts.

[@maaaiike]

I WOULD KILL TO BE A 60'S KID AND SEE BANDS LIKE JEFFERSON AIRPLANE LIVE

[@jondoe8889]

The Smothers Brothers show was the gold standard of music on TV. Great bands, cutting edge graphics. Oddly, this sounds like they they aren't really playing. Grace is singing - or at least it's not the studio track. They seem to be plugged in, but I can't really tell. But the instruments sound exactly like the studio recording. Plus - it's hard to play the bass with a puppet over the fingerboard! I remember seeing them on this show in 66(?).

[@prayerfighter]

60s is still living today lets make peace love happy

[@JOOODYJOOODY]

LOTS OF LOVE .......FOREVER

[@magicbookoflife]

This song brings a special feeling to me, they do not make them like this anymore!

[@julianzamirgiraldorios1915]

I love it...!!!

[@MrPlissken3]

Awesome bud , thanks for sharing-I love Jefferson Airplane

[@snivelinj7612]

Great song for national tv huh. That was the Smothers for you at that time.

[@MrRonnieG]

@Oneuponatime ~ I'm old enough, sadly, to remember when White Rabbit was first being sung. Actually, according to Google, Grace Slick wrote "White Rabbit" and Darby Slick wrote "Somebody To Love" and both songs were written, and first performed, while they were singing with The Great Society ~ that much I do remember. So that would be back in '65 or '66. They recorded the songs, with The Airplane, in 1967. So we're kinda both right and ............. wrong. :)

[@mkaleborn]

3 weeks ago people wrote "225 people have not found somebody to love". Now it's 224. Somebody found somebody to love!! Which one of you was it?! Arnie, is that you??

[@bigsoundize]

A part of history.

[@XMIR10C]

I can verify it did when we added Moms special home grown poopy seeds to it. Mom had tons of stuff in her garden that we could get high on - of course we didn't tell her as kids that rhubarb leaves gave us a rush..., or that there were these odd looking ants that we ate that messed us up, and there was was this one type of frog that if we touched it or licked it , we would be totally out of it and didnt have to go to school.

[@maclaine1138]

Grace Slick. Marty Balin. Paul Kantner. Jorma... something. These are the members... of the Airplane!

[@celticsarebest]

I love this song!

[@7larryvii]

a top 5 song of all time ..

[@rainbowpolyester]

I feel sorry for those people that gave this thumbs down boy they are missing out!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@LikaLaruku]

Love Grace Slick's voice. There's nobody like her today.

[@Trish156]

Grace has a fantastic voice - love it

[@TheDrunkenHer0]

Her beauty is far out.

[@rmtmiller]

Even if you're stoned and listening to this now you really should've been stoned back then and seeing them LIVE!

[@gangor7]

what a background of the clip !!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[@happyparallel]

Our era's Jefferson Airplane is called Animal Collective. You're not gonna find them looking on the radio or the TV.

[@Legato.Bluesummers]

Love her voice.

[@jova18510]

FANTASTIC

[@nubs1946]

Grace Slick. The real thing. What a great time

[@mebecnc]

i can't get over how fucking cool this is

[@DeadButBreathing]

@jamesmaseobrown It's not extinct, it's just no longer played in the radios and on tv. If go looking for good rock, you'll find it, but the love for it by the public has died.

[@TheOpiumDistrict]

@sanjurodog So much funnier than they're given credit for sometimes. I wish we had a show like that now.

[@2002flstci]

2 things: i remember when grace slick's look(as mellancamp would say) could stop a clock. i also remember a story about her in a jaguar dealership being ignored as just another hippie in the day. that was until she pulled out a rollof 100's.

[@rugbytv2277]

Never thought of that, but you're right. I can imagine Florence and the Machine doing a wicked cover of White Rabbit!

[@0oRouseticalo0]

what a voice, that is really something great back when hippies meant something

[@Adonis1884]

imagine how many millions views would this video had.. if internet was available on the sixties... good thing music taste doesn't change at all...

[@conniepilk-gilley6317]

I've loved Jefferson Airplain

[@bezerker5051]

Tripped out, man.

[@ChrissieE5]

Search "Smothers Brothers" and check out some of the other live performances ftom the 60's. The Doors, Mamas and the Papas, etc. It'll blow ur mind!!

[@thejohn6614]

What a singer

[@Leadfoot530]

Man, she had a powerful voice.

[@robsollory8402]

Lost on most kids in the 60's because only the posh folks back then had colour TVs. In the US though, most had color TVs and most of the hippest sounds at that time came from America..or to say more accurately 'the hippest SCENES and VIBES came from the States'. Though i dont suppose many teenagers in either country spent much time sitting around their parents' television sets. These were probably shown at the trendy clubs of the time via projector. Was only a baby in the 60s though so i can't speak from experience.

[@Garry1967able]

What a voice

[@GriffinnoFamily]

just listening to this song gets me high ...seriously :D !

[@keaton223]

Such a deep song, people that think its just about drugs need to look past thier judgements and "Feed Their Head"

[@joannfarrell2046]

You got that right Jessica Cook

[@andybenitez]

Hi Joann

[@keaton223]

@keaton223 it uses Alice as an allusion, check the era it was released in, theres a reason this song can define a decade

[@louloujoyb]

i think white rabbit is just absolute genious

[@TheEdgaroth]

My god Grace Slick was beautiful and irresistible Fml.

[@MsClairdeLune]

Slick has the best vibrato.

[@carlwilliams8681]

FAR OUT!!!!!

[@julian.defranco]

I fucking love the look she gives to the camera, at 2:30

[@Hacker73]

That's the same to me, because the Godess Grace Slick is hot as hell! Angel from the Psichodelic Paradise. I love Grace. In a fair world, she never would aged since 1966.

[@DeadButBreathing]

@gmfutube I agree mostly, though dancing to strange-fast-paced-electro on speed, that's pretty fuckin amazing, the difference is the music you'd listen to on LSD, Pot and Shrooms sounds good even when you're sober, the creativity and dream like feelings that pulls you into the music.

[@MrCrepozoid666]

Ahahahaha I worship this!!
