@saturntown

it was a pretty good song, but It didn't really sound like it used the same drum beat.

[andbydefinition]

I think psychadelic in this sense is just an amazing array of blues/jazz/indian influence.

[stankalmighty]

would love to hear silver apples play this with grace slick singing

Opps. San Francisco, California sound, and the band name is a comment on President Johnson's Great Society.

[rutabagasteu]

California non-beach Sound. Excellent music !

[dracula9]

the organ part sort of reminds me of iron butterfly, more than it does of the doors...

[calbeatnik]

Gracie def added a little something more to the song with her haunting vocals on this. on the other hand kudos to Zelma Sanders for writing a great song

[Khultan]

 Original is better.

[marrrrrrks]

@Khultan

I disagree

[Khultan]

@marrrrrrks Freedom of opinion, I love it.

[marrrrrrks]

@Khultan me too.

[Khultan]

@marrrrrrks  ....It's all too beautiful....

[terrikitties]

My personal humble opinion.......Signe wasn't 'better' than Grace but I will grant Signe that Marty couldn't outsing her. I like Grace much better. I only like Marty with Grace if they are in a studio so he can be balanced with Grace otherwise he just gets rediculous with his vocalizing. Grace is the only one I want to hear weaving notes around. Can't have 2 people doing that and pull it off tastefully. I am a die hard Grace Slick fan for 43 yrs now..

[dracula9]

I agree when the Organ Kicks in, it reminded me of Syd Barret's Pink Floyd. Also per Wikipedia, this is supposedly one of the first songs (from 1963) that is about a Lesbian Love Affair gone bad, that reached airplay. For the 1960's this was way ahead of it's time, given the subject matter!

[DaDa2Phlux]

Grace unique ,bordering on icey phrasing lent the Airplane a 'gravitas"quality that the Dead couldn't embrace .Signe was in her way -but less so .Plus ,Grace was the better suited to challenge convention - embracing the Women's as well as the larger Civil Rights Movements.

[ninaetcetera]

That's supposedly Gracie on the farfisa...or so says the liner notes. D7 scale

[MEXICOHIPHOP]

This song really like it me... it's great

[marcfedak]

when the organ kicks in around 2:30, it sounds like Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd, especially the use of eastern sounding scales.

[marrrrrrks]

@marcfedak

oh yeah it does, I didn't even notice before

[dontsmashthatbug]

mmmmmm fierce

[yoyopa52]

THE best female voice in ROCK!

[marrrrrrks]

really? I think signe anderson sounded better (shes the first singer of Jefferson airplane if you didn't know)

[CookOfTheHouse]

@marrrrrrks Defffffffinetely, Signe was the real thing... Grace is out of this planet too,I thing Signe is the only one i consider better than Grace... maybe Spanky McFarlane but I wouldn't be so sure...
