THE KINGSTON TRIO DI IT BEFORE..DINO VALENTI COVER NAME[NOM DE PLUME] DEPENDS A GREAT DEAL ON EMPATHY FOR MESSAGE HELLO XMAS...CHOCKS ME UP TO SING...CHILD OF SIXTIES

[AlvarezCutaway]

I’ve always thought the Youngblood’s version was the original… very enlightening indeed.

[DaDa2Phlux]

Signe & Balin were born for this song.Their harmony and that awesome Rickenbacker.Wow.

[apemanstreetwalker]

@DaDa2Phlux My guess is Kantner starts this off....don't forget Kantner....

[DaDa2Phlux]

@apemanstreetwalker I'd never forget PK :-)Peace,JP

[MrDuFont]

George Harrison ad in the beginning, finally youtube learns how to place ad's

[pwgabachito]

Many people mistake this for Slick, because Anderson sounds like a very restrained Slick.

[Marydawgs]

Most people don't know that Grace Slick wasn't on this 1st Jeff Airplane album.Signe Anderson sings here.I love this album.

[hermounts]

this was about a year before the better known version of the song by Jesse Colin Young.

[leoretrosi]

if the powers that be would have taken but a few mintues and really listen

to this , maybe just maybe realized that fighting for peace is like putting a screen

door on a submarine use less . and maybe thousands of my nam brothers would

have lived what a beautiful song in a very sad and painful time thank you ja

and of course peace baby.

[slothropgr]

For a long time Signe Anderson was my favorite trivia question. Grace took the lead vocals over so completely that no one remembered Signe a year later. Didn't help that she sounded so much like Grace that everyone just assumed that's who it was. But SA was the vocalist the first time I saw the Airplane at the Avalon, and she kinda stuck with me.

[racehorselady]

F--- Makes me feel YOUNG again! Hate to say it I SO remember this-- beautiful then and got better with the youngbloods b,ut different--Life hasn't helped, no one has listened-- there is still war

[cinqoocho]

@racehorselady

PEACE. CHANGE.

LET THEM BEGIN WITH ME!

[Livsangel]

@racehorselady But the apartheidsystem fell as did the Pinochetregime and the eastern block.

There are still terrible things happening but love has got to conquer finally.

[bullikins]

Whoa, I never knew the Airplane did this also. Like it.....

[phwyatt2]

I know it is human nature to do so but why must we always compare versions? I think we can all agree that it is a truly great song.  Further, both the Youngbloods and the Jefferson Airplane do fine, touching renditions. Why not just leave it at that? Of course, everyone has his/her preferences. I'm simply happy that multiple versions exist. Peace and love to all.........even Republicans....

[tobyornot2be]

Dino Valante!

[TheEldoradoKid]

Like,..FAR OUT MAN! This is great! The first kosmik incarnation of that hip tune that The Youngbloods made more famous about 3 years after this was cut! The jingly jangly guitar solos remind me of that night at the Filmore about 42 years ago when I first had that flash, that THIS is what it's all about! An ever since then, it has been living in my head like a little dancing icon, reminding me to be kind and humble....and the Orange Sunshine wasn't bad either!

[rubikcubebeater]

every time I hear this it reminds me of Territorial Pissings 

[xXDinoman1997Xx]

@rubikcubebeater Lol. Because of the chorus.

[SlaytanicMegaforce]

pretty boring cover in my opinion.

[MrMistery101]

WOW

[drebyrd54]

People who say "I like this version better" understand music. People who say "this is better" don't.

[steve7138]

LOVE "The Byrds"- style instrumental guitar in the song's middle!

[mashtones]

Song was recorded by the Kingston Trio and We Five before the Youngbloods.

[iamther]

the youngbloods may own this but its a great song and a good version. i like it.

[IncensePeppermints68]

no comparison whatsoever The Youngbloods version owns this one.

[crAzydAzzed]

Woo hoo! I'm related to Paul Kantner

[tytleman]

I was in Cleveland, once.

[brainjesus]

Ever meet him? Ever meet China?

[pluslou]

Good version; can't decide if I like this more or the Youngbloods. Oh well...

[cannster]

This is a sweet tune...Love it

[gesauce]

First recorded by the Kingston Trio in '64

[umraan]

this version is a million times better than the youngbloods.

[me5g435rg]

oh no thats just not true at all really.... your ears are just broke ......i like JA.....but no not even close...lol it makes me laugh just trying to think that it is.......oh but no

[cfcnyc]

amen!

[foreveraien]

this is a Youngblood song?

[mthivier]

It was written by a guy named Chet Powers in the early '60s, and JA recorded it in '66; the Youngbloods recorded it somewhere around '68, and their version was a hit single. But both versions are very beautiful IMO,

[6749er]

I'm not a big fan of his for what he did to local fave Quicksilver Messeger Service but Chet Powers is Dino Valenti & he wrote this & it's a great song & I agree both versions are beautiful.

[iwantwatermellon]

*her.

[capocchiadicazzone]

stop fightin' !

she is really beautiful. im prettier tho! GU

[sparkyization]

Lemme' see ... ;-) Nobody could be foxier than Gracie (or Signe, as well. Which, incidently, means "Swan" in Scandinavian). They launched a zillion wanna'bees. They were the "matriarchs" of the movement. I am one of the few who have a nude poster of her. & one of Janis also

ho-hum

[lmferg]

Wonder how often people think Grace Slick is the female vocalist here.Signe Anderson sounds a lot like Slick in this song.

[iwantwatermellon]

Oh my God, I hear it! Yeah. I love his voice, and Grace Slick's. I just love Jefferson Airplane! :)

[6749er]

That's the original JA's Signe Anderson singing w/ Marty & Paul on this one.

Grace was with another local band then called The Great Society.

Grace was Grace and amazing but Signe was there when JA took off & for some early Magic years in SF & she could really sing too.

[iwantwatermellon]

Ah thank you :)

[mthivier]

If you want to hear the Slick's version, there are some JA concerts from late '66 and early '67 that are posted on Wolfgang's a Vault, from shortly after Grace joined the band, and some of the sets include this song with Grace singing instead of Signe. She does a great job too.

[umraan]

can u please send me it or upload a version? please?!

[TeapotTV]

@lmferg I did for years until you just made me look it up. Thank you

[ascheepe]

'we shall surely find' comes to mind. Indeed. :)

[bluesbrother37]

DC5 version is best!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wwwgotristancom]

once again im not a fan the youngbloods version but jeff airplanes and we fives choruses for this song suck

[dposluch]

I always liked this version better than the Youngbloods'. The newer, expanded version of this old album has some really good sounds.

[peaceonearth777]

I liked the original version best. This one is cool but the Younbloods one is intensely strange. Too bad everyone forgets the original. He sold it to help out a brother. Times were tough. Peace on,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[6749er]

Chet Powers aka Dino Valenti who wrote this song sold the rights to raise money for his own legal defense..

You can goggle details if you want.

[ngiyaxolisa]

Thanks for bringing us the early airplane when they were a "folkie" band. It's good to hear these tunes again after all these years!

[mthivier]

I think their "folkie" status during this period was in part due to Signe Anderson's soaring, beautiful voice, which was more in the vein of Joan Baez and Judy Collins, than the later rocking psychadellia they became known for post-Slick.

[sparkyization]

Excellente. Well said

[johnradner]

Well said, except "post-Slick"  would mean after Slick had left. You mean, "with Slick."

[mthivier]

Yea, my mistake, I shoulda' said "post-Signe" or "during-Slick".

[nickgui]

I was a kid back then but I saw Signe with the Airplane at The Matrix Fillmore & Avalon more than a few times. I also saw Joan & Judy during the same time. I've never heard anyone till now say Signe was in the Joan & Judy folk vein. Think anyone who was there will tell you Signe & Grace sounded way more alike (in there own ways) than anything close to Baez or Collins. Which is why people think this is Grace. Signe could belt out Blues & R&R. in a way folkies Joan & Judy never did then or ever.
