Jefferson Airplane - Wooden Ships

[StompL7]

I agree

[TheSuperBuggers]

This song will last forever un like you and all of your family's money put together you dumb ass soberite

[RasMajnouni]

"As we watch you die..." Too bad that they squandered their inheritance & left nothing to their children but the Plastic Fantastic covering of chic rock glamour.Check out "Jefferson Starships" 3rd album to see how blatantly they sold out to early 1979- 80's air blown haircuts & the music was dried out along with a cheap message that could only last 10 years for university educated upper class ,spoiled brats who you see today bald headed in front with a few whispy hairs tied in back pony tailed.

why must people say one version is "better" than the other? they're both great. just sit back and relax and enjoy them.

[kenocs78]

adamsapple1963 nails it. one of the few remakes that were better than the original. credits to csn. the rest of you nay sayers ; admit it!

[thebaker31100]

1 person shame on you

[rastaisfutur]

who cares of its history??? the song's meaning is amazing! it gives birth to amazing feelings!

[byrum50]

Jefferson Airplane is the best version.

[HolyDiver55100]

This sucks. Crosby stills Nash all the way. This is to exaggerated.Sorry.

[toycollector10]

I was 14 years old when I heard this and it blew my mind. I was drug free :-)

[rastaisfutur]

@toycollector10 and since that day . . . . :p

[18girl1969]

i like both versions wish I could go back and stay there

[curtdammit]

i like this version its more mellow at the beginning to me but the acoustics of Crosby and nash is just more soothing and relaxing to listen to to me.

[kharmakreep]

Stills had chords, Kanter gave him lyrics up to the point of "Horror grips us as we watch you die..." then I can't remember if stills finished the lyrics or if it was one of the other members of CSN

[ToeIn2194]

So so amazing!I am who I feel I should be again.Thanks for this.I miss my generations poetry and vision.I hate these times.

[spousby]

so true, "go ride the music"

[AdamsApple1963]

I don't care what anyone else says; I think this version puts CSN's to shame!

[lingorango]

@AdamsApple1963 dude. yeah right! they're both good but to me this version is better. it doesnt put their version to shame

[netherworldman]

Beautiful, brings back old memories. Your labels says CSNY cover, but didn't Paul Kantner wrote this song together with Crosby and Stills?

[polystrate]

This song is MUCH better than CSNY. It has feeling, not cheesy antics. I'm 24 and used to get baked and listen to this everyday. SOOO beautiful like GRACE. All of Jefferson's gives me a nice strange vibe. So Great.

[Sargebri]

Both the Airplane and CSNY performed this at Woodstock. Interestingly, the CSNY version was close to the album version while the Airplane's version was over 20 minutes long.

[jnsii]

Quit it. it belongs to both groups friend.

[ibehl]

Gran canción!!!

A donde estan esos sueños? esos ideales? ese espiritu de lucha? ese nivel de introspeccion?... ese espíritu contestatario hacia las estructuras arcaicas? ... será que todo eso murió ya y ahora tan solo somos parte de una generación hipnotizada por el consumismo y los vaivenes de la economia manipulada por unas cuantas manos? . . .

[LuckyManG]

I love both versions, but few days ago I was driving in Mexico city traffic so angry and came in my cd the Jefferson Airplane Version in a Best of... Cd and made me so calm and happy. Love this song

[fuckgegg]

You are disgusting!

[pweener]

This song belongs equally to both groups. Kantner co-wrote the song with Stills and Crosby, and both groups recorded the song in '68. I don't think we can post links here, but you can look up the history of the song by entering "Wooden Ships" on Wikipedia. I love both versions. Late '60's through early 70's --what a creative time in rock.

[mcmorrison]

Nice version of CSNY classic.

Audio imagery works fine.

I can feel that I am sailing...
