[paperboy6996]

[pouchfreeman]

Paul Kantners absolute best song ever. Sexy, haunting anf beautiful.

[welcome2myhell]

@pouchfreeman agreed

[bwanna23]

This song makes my mouth get all watery, just like back in the old days.

[uradragon]

Hello JoaniePH51, It was a magical special time. I too have remembrances and thank you for yours. We then made it what it was. "Come on my friend..."

Thanks for the post

[nachoisone]

@geckoman1220 I did when i got wicked stoned and started jamming along then my friends joined and went off into a crazy spacey jam. I'll stay sober and re figure it out and this time write it down for you and JimmyPage968. And others who happen to come across it.

[fIugasche]

Jeff. Airpl.: Composers and musicians that presented America in a good way!

[autodelete66]

@fIugasche But they were harsh critics of all the BS around us.

[iheartaltoids]

id be one of the hundreds of run-aways during the 60's to san fransisco, but nooo im born in the lady gaga, auto tune, weezy era

[31wst]

@iheartaltoids I'm actually saddened to read this post. Don't kid yourself, many of those runaways ended up in a lot of trouble from which they NEVER recovered! I do agree with your point that the "music" of your era totally f'ing blows!!

[JimmyPage968]

Does anyone know the chords to this song?

[nachoisone]

@JimmyPage968 All i know its played in the key of epic

[JimmyPage968]

@nachoisone Haha, thanks, yeah that's true. But i do really want to know how to play this song.

[nachoisone]

@JimmyPage968 I would love to learn this song as well I think it's in G I''ll take time to learn it then I'll message you

[JimmyPage968]

@nachoisone Oh yeah, would that be great. Well, definitely let me know. Thanks

[1KOOLROCKNDAN]

[LysergicWind]

We need to come to gether...Right now...Tell someone..

[jakeenan]

Grace and Marty's backing vocals on this are as good as it gets anywhere. This is what a clinic sounds like. Dig it.

[WoodRatGirl]

Wonderful <3

[jakeenan]

Perfect name for the song cos they were all so in sync with each other on this classic tune, allowing perfect space for each other. Love it.

[sabatini210]

If you want to take the music, you can go to keep vid dot com, and it will turn the vid into an MP4 or FLV. You can then get a converter for free and turn the MP4 into an MP3. Only takes 2 or 3 minutes total per song. This is not an ad, I am just posting it for anyone who loves music but doesn't love paying 4 dollars for a song.

[zombiestars42]

enjoy your era !

[MrNikesify]

I'm 16, and i love this music! my mom always tells me i was born in the wrong era.

I hate the music from my genration. i love this stuff so much.

[mariella13579]

@MrNikesify Amen to that, brah.

[RayOfLight11]

@MrNikesify thats good to hear, i love this music too, and have since 14, im 24 and still hate todays music

[bwanna23]

@MrNikesify don't worry about when you were born. you've tuned into the vibe from a very special time, now you're connected. be thankful and creative.

[timpani25]

@MrNikesify be where you are now, man. you mom is mistaken in this. you were born when you needed to be born. your era is now. your music is what you hear today. please don't hate music. just listen to what makes you feel. don't hate. please.

a 42

[CadillacL]

I was SO born in the wrong era (1971) but, my favorite music is this era.

[JoaniePH51]

@MarcelaConnerty25

I downloaded the album as an MP3 from Amazon.com. Good quality audio that doesn't lose much, if any, quality.

[fluxstringer]

Smokin' hot lyrics of the day. Sexual imagery without vulgarity

( as though we would have objected to that! :>P)

Beautiful !

[UJ96LFA]

To me this sounds like some good acid and my love, late summer 2003. And San Francisco feel in 1968 - see the cover - that orange mushroom cloud of perdition and the band soaring amidst, that says everything.

[ivycompton]

Great album; great song. Killer guitar solo starting around 2:05. The last part, starting at 3:33 to the end, just lays me out. What a gorgeous riff.

[thewillismon]

@ivycompton Yeah there's no other song in all of rock with an ending like this. Sublime!

[OLMABTRIEB]

i love it <3 <3 <3 bommmm

[potatoequeen72]

but it is missing Eric Clapton :)....

[popmachine12]

this band and album is pretty underated. Probly bc they have such a weird feeling to their music. That triped sober people out and it scared alot of people. People are afriad of change. People were afraid to fallow the white rabbit out of curiosity, bc they were afraid of falling into a rabbit hole, But ask alice, she fell into a wonderland ;)

[pq02lamzo]

Until maybe about a month ago my knowledge of this band came from 80s songs like 'We Built This City' and 'Sara'. I discovered the real Jefferson Airplane about a month ago. I cannot believe how under the radar this incredible band is. This group is one of five best groups of all time, maybe even THE best.

[thewillismon]

@popmachine12 I agree, even alot of hippies prefer "feel good" music like Grateful Dead to Jefferson Airplane. JA was always intense and often brooding like this gem is.

[bendbadgersteve]

Jack played with James Brown too, I believe. I had a friend whose older sister attended Santa Clara University. Jorma was gigging then as a folkie/acoustic blues guy.

Jorma had a real killer instinct on his lead parts. Far exceeded Craig Chaquico in that respect.

[autodelete66]

bendbadgersteve

Craig Chaquico? Who?

[bendbadgersteve]

I'm really attached to this and D.C.B.A.-25. Maybe Coming Back To Me. Oh hell, there's a TON of their stuff that sends chills but IN TIME was one of the first that REALLY clued me into what the Airplane was REALLY all about.

Heavy acoustic/electric mix. Lyrics and muscianship out-of-this-world good and beautifully strange. Vocal harmonies same- compelling.

Awesome band that, as good as they were then, are not credited as they should be now. Another perfect example of brilliance.

[JoaniePH51]

One of the things that gave this group its magic was the combination of Jack Casady and Jorma Kaukonen. Jack Cassady was playing the club circuit in Washington DC while he was in high school on a forged ID. He played bass for Little Anthony and the Imperials and Ray Charles. Jorma was a high school buddy and they were what set them several cuts above. It didn't hurt that Gracie's contralto voice went well with Marty, Jorma, and Paul. This is one of my favorite JA. They were fantastic live!

[autodelete66]

Don't forget - Greasy Heart, - Ice Cream Phoenix & Plastic Fantastic Lover,

as their best social commentary.

They seemed to excel in 4 areas

Musicianship -

Dancability

Poetry &

Politics

NONE HAVE DONE THIS SINCE THEM!

[billyscottbrandt]

This album was particularly good...yes it's their Led Zep III....

[stretcherbearer]

Best song on Crown of Creation. Great lyrics, scorching guitar breaks and Jack Cassidy's bass lines are hypnotic. This album came out while I was in VN and was just the thing to compliment that kick ass weed they had over there. :-))

[JoaniePH51]

This album came out the day before my boyfriend got back from VN. I was able to get a copy from Tower Records on Sunset Blvd on the day of release. A visit to my best friend's boyfriend got me an ounce of Panama Red. When he got home, and went on leave, I gave him a gift containing both. Needless to say, we didn't see anyone else for over a week... Oh yeah...I have some really good memories connected with this album...;-)

[stretcherbearer]

Awright JoaniePH51, what a welcome home from Hell straight into Heaven. Great story.

[JoaniePH51]

What else can a woman really give the man she loves?

[JoaniePH51]

To expand on this, we were married 6 months later and I had twin boys the following year, and a daughter the next year. Jer was a wonderful lover and a great father. He died on 9/19/2008 from cancer, 3 days after holding his first great grandson. I spent some time yesterday going over some of our favorite music and remembering the good times we had from 1967 to 2008. Gone but not forgotten - nor loved less. Still life goes on.

[organhand]

@JoaniePH51 thank you for posting this...it stopped me in my tracks ...

so sorry for your loss ..so glad the music helps to bring the years back to you ..all the best

[JoaniePH51]

@organhand

Music is one of the most powerful forces in dealing with the human condition we have at our disposal. We can use it for good or bad, and I choose to stay positive. Jer had a great life.

I knew for over three years that I would lose him, yet during all of this he stayed positive. Out of respect for him, I need to remember the good. We are finite and dying is just another aspect of life. We both felt that a shorter life, well lived, is better than a long life lived tediously.

[NIN1]

@JoaniePH51 I'm a 19 year old guy, but this almost brought me to tears...Your poise is very admirable

[oreokookie1000]

@JoaniePH51 I can't relatrr  relate ...I am 55... never found a love like you.... cant relate4u........I will someday...pray for me...serious.... i found alot of stupid woman.....stupid

[oreokookie1000]

@JoaniePH51 I can't relatrr relate ...I am 55... never found a love like you.... cant relate4u........I will someday...pray for me...serious.... i found alot of stupid woman.....stupid

...1974...till about 1985...serious...alot of stupid assholes

[martin1226]

I was born in 78. I listened to all their albums along w/ Moby Grape and Love. Pure L-25 and art, love. Beautiful time. 1993-1996. Grace and Paul are god-like, This is tune

[WinstonWoIfe]

orange blue red and green are the colours of what i feel, and my mind always starts to reel in time

[greenwichlirr]

Best song on the COC LP, and one of the top 5 best Airplane tunes ever--hands down. It's just got such a groove to it.

[theycallmeletts]

I think House of Pancakes sampled this for a song

[pyrophore]

Which is why Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Vine of Paz, So. Dakota named their son Pancake after seeing JA at the Paz chin-in and having a hearty breakfast the next day at HOP.

[sirigi22]

I feel the same. J A is my favorite band.

[marcthemisfits]

Maybe my fav :)

[pyrophore]

Really decribes perfectly the wonder of after peaking (clear light). The heightened sensuality.

Jorma's lead break just burns white hot! Whew.

[joeyrider]

The Airplane teach me to think in colors back in the early 70 as a kid in north Italy... CoC still is one of my fav albums ever

[imontop4u]

This album was given to me by some hippy friends back in the 70's when they turned to religion after one too many acid trips and thought all rock music was now evil.

I was about 10 years old at the time and took one listen and loved it! It still gives me goose bumps hearing it today!

I love you J.A. !

[morninggloryseed]

This is one of their best songs.  Too bad only fans know of it.

[5krat]

Im not that big of a fan at all but this like my favorite song by them. this and probably lather.

[Nevada2444]

But then it better be a slow existential movie and not one about hippies raving around on public squares.

Would fit much better in a movie of the 90s with the sub-cultures that draw from the hippie life but are very different too.

And for once I'd like to see Europe with young people smoking weed and eating acid in basements in appartment blocks off the outskirt of an east european town.

Might be just me though.

[LathyrusSativus]

An incredibly underrated song. This as as good as anything else Jefferson Airplane made.

[pdondini]

Una meravigliosa canzone fuori dal tempo

[avialableman]

The saddest songs of Airplane are the first three ones of the Crown Of Creation.

[desolationrow]

come with me my friend.... come on now and take my hand.. you can be my friend... soon be in a nother country!? yeah!
