Jefferson Airplane - 3/5 Of A Mile In 10 Seconds

[Sortsdam]

I was born in the wrong time... sigh

[mickeymousebiker1]

Sundrenched in CA sunshine and acid-washed. Thank you, High Altitude Fred, for your friendship at Monterey Pop. I hope life is great for you and your lady in Santa Cruz. Thank you, Jim and Stan (from Monterey Pop) for riding with me.

[slothropgr]

Sorry, forgot to thank YOU for posting these indelible artifacts so clearly. They sound better than they did on the album. But the Airplane never got especially good sound from RCA, till they remastered 'em on 2400 Fulton Street.

@Humorgous SREW U. U PEOPLE AND UR STUPID RAP!

[edcabanas]

"...KNOW I LOVE YOU BABY, YES I DO.."

[modsheff1]

fuckin top tune!

[thisvideowillbeflagd]

The intro is soooooo trippy!

[kitt5804]

The guy all the way to the right, with the banjo, in the picture from 1:10-2:47 looks like Ringo Starr very mad.

[maida1982a]

5 exceptional talents in this band, all capable of leading their own bands.

[Evantheowl]

this album sends shivers up and down my spine

[tom6612]

It was definitely quite the time for music and all the other arts too though especially music. Maybe someday somebody will come up with the real reason why there was an explosion in the arts back then. It seems like there was a lot of different catalysts so that makes identification hard.

[fucktheothercalmo]

@tom6612 It was Phycadelic drugs educating mankind through abstract methods, in my honest opinion.

Then you had the bullshit war on drugs, whiched demonised this sort of thing and began to supress it.

I do believe that psychadelic drugs are here to aid beings in their evolution and understanding.

Like plugging yourself back into main Earth for a while.

You see what's real, compared to what is nothing.

[fucktheothercalmo]

@fucktheothercalmo which*

[tom6612]

@fucktheothercalmo ---Oh i think you are definitely on the right path. I also think that the 1960's was the flowering of the Beat Generation which had been a real small movement during the 1950's. They primed the culture with open mindedness and an artistic zeitgeist. The psychedelics turbo charged that mix.

[UJ96LFA]

Real stromer, love guitar solo, the overall feel and, everything. Dancing to it high on acid at some SF venue back in ´66 or ´67 remains just a dream that cannot come fucking true.

[rhodatutube]

I read a biography of the Airplane a long time ago. Seems like Grace was very sharing in other ways, the guys would often ask themselves whose turn it was that night.

[UJ96LFA]

Right. She preferred booze to drugs though she did acid quite willingly. Aint sure about Jorma and Marty but Jack, Spencer and Paul tasted her, the latter two being real winners. Grace, however, wasn´t pure hippie, she hated dirt (especially other people´s one) and the notion of communal living mortified her.

[pucksterz12]

THis is when the Airplane was cool sounding before Grace took over as the lead catterwaller.

[chipchaw]

Grace is all over "Surrealistic Pillow"; the band was always very democratic. Vocal duties were always shared--lead vocals were usually performed by whoever wrote the song.

[laxrulez7]

this song performed at woodstock is UNBELIEVEABLE

[XxParrianxX]

Anyone have a Machine-Time? T.T

Long live 60's and 70's!!

[TheLarper123]

@XxParrianxX omg IKR!!!!!1

[mickeymousebiker1]

@XxParrianxX I lost Mr. Peabody's e-mail address. The Way-Back Machine is out there somewhere, man.

[1960jack]

Their music will go on as long as people like to listen to real great rock music! Great music never goes out of style.

[TashaP1987]

THis is my favorite song by them off my fav album!

[oakchar]

1967 was, indeed, the greatest year for music. Sgt Pepper's, The Doors, and...Surrealistic Pillow.

[skyseye]

amazingness... could you upload J.P.P Mcstep B. Blues??

[OspreyD40]

At @ 2:30 and the next few seconds, catch Casady's tying an amazing "lead bass" bow onto Kaukonen's solo gift package. I thought this put him into McCartney's "Nowhere Man" category of greatness.

[metrostationrocks]

i was so happy when i found this at the music store. i immeadiately picked it up and bought it. this is one of their best.

[B4001950]

No doubt one of the greatest albums of all time! Focused and Powerful.....

[Savastott]

Absolutely. Definitely would have Surrealistic Pillow in my allotted three on the desert island...

[turtspot]

me too!

[circle43cm]

Oh yes, yours is just such an intelligent and heartfelt comment.

[thebp9999]

@B4001950 I agree. Well said.
