JEFFERSON AIRPLAINE AT WOODSTOCK 1969.

[BobQuinnFB]

Janis Joplin...what a fox

[TahoeCanoga]

@BobQuinnFB Janis Joplin?? How about Grace Slick.

[wincanton2]

Vietnam, Iraq & Afghanistan....one thing in common, they all ended up in a bloody mess. Great song at a great event....great days.....

[grungepolitics]

Thank god he doesn't wear the Terrorist-I-blow-your-head-off symbol, but I guess the Nazi sign (even if he was one) Is way and way worse.

[i7fan]

@grungepolitics Are you for real or kidding? Hippies loving everyone are nazis? That symbol is of peace and luck and it comes from india/asia originally. The swastika (nazi symbol) is mirrored and was used by hitler for some reason. Basically he tainted a very old positive symbol, but still, its not nazi from beginning, and is still used in asia for luck.

[grungepolitics]

@i7fan Kidding.

[moresalvatore]

@i7fan Thank to explain to these guys ... Still now there are people not kwnowinf it.

Pack

[hasjaru]

nazi symbol is the mirror image of Swastika. 

[GrandeRio01]

Can't sing for his life and a fool for wearing a Swastika!

[enjoylifeandsurf]

@GrandeRio01 fuck off cunt if so much better a singing why aren't you sing i front of millions like him. the song is a fuckin anti war protest and the nazi's just used the symbol but they didn't create it it has other meanings

[reward116]

Jorma is a jew for jesus

[tiago5812]

Grace Slicks so pretty !!!!!

[tiago5812]

Beautiful Girl!!!!!!!!!



[Juupp]

Grace looks as if she'd been sandwitched by some roadies...

[NYCBG]

@Juupp actually, she was.

[Gosty661]

Härlig musik och bra år gärna levt då.

[Gosty661]

Här musik och bra år gärna levt då.

[swimmerdawg10]

why are the top comments about a type of meat?

[MAGICGRAVYPARTY]

nothing like flying high with jefferson air!!!!

[trey3216]

Good God they were a great band 

[Deadboots]

Apparently people don't understand that the swastika only become a nazi symbol AFTER it was rotated to a diagonal. Learn history people.

[purplemutantas]

@Deadboots I have seen pre WW2 examples of swastikas set at 45 degrees. The Latvian air force used a 45 degree red swastika on their planes from 1919 until 1940. The swastika has been used every which way prior to it;s use by the Nazi party.

[surrealistBeat97]

jorma was was insanely hot

[riffmagos]

Could some of you people PLEASE get over this "oh they're wearing a Swastika" thing? This symbol is thousands of years old and found anywhere from the Aztecs and Mayans to the Hindus and Buddhists. Much older than some demented fool in the 1930's and 40's.

[70goldtop]

I don't know....this guy's singing about killing people legally and he's wearing a swastika....pretty suspect.....in a good way I'm sure

[saraghigno]

miiinchia che fusa !!!!! ahahahahahahahaha

[jakufication]

I like Grace`s hair

[MrAlister020]

want to get high whenever i hear this song.....

[MrAlister020]

i want to get high whenever i hear this song.. it s crazy.. love it....!!

[lfWolf]

If a Jew is wearing it as in this particular case, I am sure it was for non-nazi purposes.

[claumaquina]

ALGUIEN SABE SI HAY CONCIERTOS INEDITOS DE JEFFERON AIRPLANE QUE TODAVIA NO ESTAN EN YOU TO, SI SABEN DE UNO LES AGRADECERIA QUE ME DIGAN O LO SUBAN.SALUDOS

[RomeroBenevides]

PERFEITO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[mahaLoLolo1]

this is when grace slick got ugly... not that looks change the music, just saying

[shakedownstreet48]

@mahaLoLolo1 I think she looks hot in this video.

[keo774]

Even thought this is more the Hot TUna sound, it's actually maybe the best performance that the Airplane ever did live. So powerful, bluesy, groovy, Psychedelic, unique, politic.

Not Rolling Stones kind of stuff: not the usual rock n roll sound, but a real blues solid sound. GOO JORMAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[SIMKINETICS]

@keo774 For the San Francisco sound, this is great blues. If you like studio ballads, Surrealistic Pillow is the one!

[keo774]

@SIMKINETICS I know everything from Jefferson Airplane: they're my favourite band!

[SIMKINETICS]

@keo774 Jorma's guitar work is the most appealing part for me. Their earliest music was their best, & Crown of Creation was also great. As an early SF Bay Area hippie, I'm loyal!

[keo774]

@SIMKINETICS I'm a very young italian boy, so I can't be a SF Bay area hippie, but I love that kind of music. Actually my favourite J. Airplane album is After Bathing at Baxter's, but Crown is very good too

[SIMKINETICS]

@keo774 If you get the feeling, move with it! You are young, so prepare to make a difference. We did!

[keo774]

@SIMKINETICS I saw live very grea musicans, like Crosby Stills and Nash and JORMA KAUKONEN HIMSELF!

 I've got some videos in my channel, check out them! Good Music always lives

[SIMKINETICS]

@keo774 I'm jealous; you saw Jorma. Now, to make you jealous. I've seen Crosby, Stills, Nash AND Young, twice! Better still, I'll see Buffalo Springfield next Sunday; they are the predecessor to CSN & Y, from '66-'68!  Buffalo Springfield is re-forming after 42 years just for this gig! They are Stills, Young and Furay. Check them out!

[keo774]

@SIMKINETICS I saw John Mclaughlin too, but that's a Jazz sound, not the SF psychedelic sound. Great guitarist anyway!

[SIMKINETICS]

@keo774 The SF sound grew out of the local beatnik-to-folk-to-electric-fo­lk heritage in SF. Beatnks were into Jazz, so the hertage has those roots. It's always interesting where homage to the past is preserved. SF bluesy references distinguish it from Chicago or New Orleans blues. It's a shame to lose those regional distinctions.

[keo774]

@SIMKINETICS Well, to talk about alll these thing, have you got a facebook account?

so we can become friends?

It has got to be very coool

[SIMKINETICS]

@keo774 Thanx! I avoid Facebook, but we can become YouTube friends and/or can use email; your choice.  Cool indeed!

[keo774]

@SIMKINETICS well, in fact facebook is not a great thing, but is great if you want to keep on touch with someone!

let's beacome youtube friend!

keep on touch!!

[comfortablynumb12345]

@SIMKINETICS no way! springfield reunion? thats sweet man how was it?

[SIMKINETICS]

@comfortablynumb12345 Transcendentally great! Stills, Young & Furay played exquisitely. Shoreline Amphitheater was packed, it was raining on us, and we all enjoyed every bit of it! The audience was very excited & happy, young & old! They were more like Buffalo-Springfield of 43 years ago than ever, even though that sounds impossible! All acoustic & very real, they played tight, authentic & subtly. It was beautiful! One of the best concerts I ever went to! Far out!!!

[keo774]

@SIMKINETICS and what about Jack Casady's bass playing?

Maybe the greatest bassist of all time!!

[SIMKINETICS]

@keo774 Damn good. No question!

[SIMKINETICS]

@keo774 Check out 'Hot Tuna-Water Song'; one of the best of Kaukonen/Casady collaborations.

[keo774]

@SIMKINETICS of course I know it: a very great song.

but my favourite one by Hot Tuna is "sea child".

Greeat SOUND

and what about if I could only remember my name?

a masterpiece"!

[SIMKINETICS]

@keo774 Thanx for Sea Child.  It could grow on me!

[Occaras]

Airplane? Hot Fcukin Tuna!

[69Sioux]

I was in my mums tummy during the Summer of love and wasnt born until December 69. I was raised around this music and its classic. I just love it.

[69Sioux]

Jefferson Airplane wow! Totally amazin. Nothin better than layin back tokin on a blunt listenin to this!

[Langspeelplaten]

GREAT GREAT GREAT

[BicPentameter]

You'll notice that Grace Slick, Marty Balin and Paul Kantner never sing a note - and they were the primary vocalists for the band. There are plenty of shots of Grace just leaning against a piano. On her left you can occasionally see Kantner, with a guitar, but no mic, and beside the drummer (Spencer Dryden) you can see Marty shaking maracas. Jorma does all of the vocals in this song. Casady does his usual thing, complete with facial expressions.

[PHAEDRIDER]

jorma and jack are this band .

[lcolby11]

@PHAEDRIDER  I agree 100%

[lcolby11]

@PHAEDRIDER  I agree 100% . They screwed up the reunion studio LP in the 1980s cuz you cannot hear Jack and Jorma playing on the songs

[hazercopejeks]

that girl at 101, is she holding up a macbook?

[gonameaspoon]

woodstock will forever be the greatest 3 days in the history of the world. WHY WASN'T I THERE MAN????!!!

[superantichristlover]

the original recordings are priceless

[jakeenan]

When I saw the Woodstock movie as a teenager I'd never heard of JA and that woman in the white outfit onstage made me bust a nut! Who was she? Was she waiting to come on after them? I had to find out who this goddess was. Before long I was feeding my head on the classic JA period. I've come back to the JA again this past year after a long absence & I feel like a teenager all over again. They are the most underrated and forgotten greats of that period. And Grace, that voice and those eyes!

[smitschagen]

Grace, love you...

[carioca56]

Well I wanna kill somebody, won't have to break no kind of law.

[BillSisters]

I think i'll never get over the fact that i was born at the wrong time ..

[johnmacbklynusa]

is paul kantner wearing a swastica

[Lompebroed]

@johnmacbklynusa Jorma Kaukonen is wearing a swastica, but it is also a symbol for the Sun (I think) in hinduism, plus it's the symbol for the finnish Order of the Cross of Liberty, and a part of the finnish Presidential Flag. The Finnish Air Force and Army used the swastika as their official national marking from 1919 to 1944. As you may know, his father was a Finnish American, so I guess it has something to do with his "roots".

[keo774]

@Lompebroed

true.

and the swastica has a lot more meanings.

for example in tuscany, italy, meant the eternity of life, but in the word war people saw those ssymbols and thought that they were nazist stuff

[dreama505]

Fingerstyle guitar with Gibson ES-335........... I like

[waterpower1]

Where in the wide world of sports did you find this clip? I've seen just about all there is to hear and see about Woodstock 1969 but never have seen/heard this clip. FWIW, let's get over the Nazi crap and enjoy the music,.

[MrTim848]

Cracking blues voice. About the best on the whole Woodstock catalogue.

[simonluckin8]

Amazing...........

[mesimar]

Jorma When Young

[jakeenan]

Swastika my ass. Listen to Nicky Hopkins killer piano on this song!

[aeolful]

anni70

[60spastlife]

Do people really think nazis invented the swastika? They didnt invent shit, unless you wanna count highway systems and Volkswagens.

[Lildrummerboy50]

whats with the swatstika??

[materinapicka]

@Lildrummerboy50 swastika is symbol of piece in budism, hinduism and such. that's why he is wearing it.

[ghoula69]

Jorma a Nazi? What a bunch a dumb fucks, Thats like saying Grace is a Virgin cause she is wearing all white, Lol JA is my favorite band Thank god for You tube!!

[Koxy85]

Swastika is an ancestral symbol. It means: lucky thing, the lucky bearer thing, hope etc...

Probably it symbolize the always rotating sun, this sign older than the nazi empire.

[nw8000]

@Koxy85 They turned it around to symbolize evil

[blobby1972]

@Koxy85 Yes it is. but not the one he's wairing the one you speak of the flicks go in the other direction the one he has got round his kneck is the nazi swastika .not many people know that .

[Koxy85]

@blobby1972 That's why i wrote it...I think there wasn't nazis in Woodstock and Jefferson Airplaine is not an SS group :D So everybody needs to know, it has another means.

[purplemutantas]

@blobby1972 The Nazi swastika was usually set at 45 degrees. One exception to that rule were banners used by the SA that say "Deutschland erwacht". The dimensions of the swastikas were also fairly precise. The spacing between the arms is the same as the thickness of the arms. Look at the flag of the NSDAP as an example. In the swastika on this video their is very little spacing between the arms. So NO this isn't a Nazi swastika. Just because the arms are bent to the right, doesn't make it nazi.

[ontariobuds]

@Koxy85 THERE IS NO WAY that the sun is odler than the Nazi empire, no fucking way. you're crazy

*blah blah blah* Don't you hate people with those arguments? for some reason they always pop up.

mine was a joke ;-)

[Koxy85]

@ontariobuds at least someone has sense of humor... ;)

[truvianni]

@Koxy85 actually when Hitler visited Spain he was surprised to see many of them and more so to find out that they had been there for over a hundred years

[jigen08]

Why all the people moaning about a swastika symbol?

I constantly see people wearing the symbol of a brutal torture / murder weapon that the Romans killed tens of thousands with... the crucifix.

As George Carlin said, symbols are for the symbol-minded.

[Poggibonsi91]

What song is it???

[drmlabs]

read the description?

[Poggibonsi91]

thanks =)

[medieval1692]

Wonderfull

[hippyguitarist94]

the swastika is a sign of peace,he's not a nazi dumbass..

[70goldtop]

@hippyguitarist94 Who cares if he is a Nazi?How's that?Worse things in the world than Nazi's.Especially nowadays.

[Kungen940127]

Why does everbody think he is nazi??

I haven't watched this for about 2 months and there are still 3000 comments about his swastika-necklace!

HE IS NOT A NAZI

What the hell would he be doing in one of the greatest hippie-bands of all time if he were one?

Jefferson Rocks!!!!

[Lordseydious]

What is a Nazi doing in Woodstock

[shane4896]

Oh I see what it is, the swastika doesnt nesesarily mean hitler. Its just his religion, it means god it Jehova, Satan, Lucifer, and Christ. Four beings who are all fragments, who all make one god. Weird I was just reading about it.

[nw8000]

And on another level..... Would you have done her?? eh eh?

[mebizzarobrian]

Nice spelling. Airplaine ???  lol :D

[shane4896]

He plays good blues, I dont give a shit about swastikas.

[RulerOfRock666]

Swastica was actually a symbol for hinduism before hitler ruined it.

[yoursatan]

@RulerOfRock666 It was like the mirror-image of Hinduism right? 

[RulerOfRock666]

@yoursatan Yes it was.

[yieldyieldyield]

@RulerOfRock666 yeah was actually a symbol for peace

[69Sioux]

@RulerOfRock666 Swastika actually predates back to Bronze Age time which is around 1700-1300BC

[TellingYouTwice]

@RulerOfRock666 no it wasn't bro.

[ontariobuds]

@RulerOfRock666 I thought it was Buddhism.

[Noodles37UK]

@ontariobuds Zen. I think.

[GordosMama1111]

@RulerOfRock666 so take it back!

[bassist448]

Got to love Jorma. One of the greatest guitar players ever. Just incredibly under-rated.

[tallpaul88]

you betcha! Jorma and Jack are one of the best combinations that EVER was!

[TyrelPiper]

This is a killer jam blues tune.

[H0d3n2009]

Right ;)

[fredsamuels]

its an ancient symbol of the sun

[johnnyboy13131]

Before being basterdized by Hitler the swastika was and still is a buhdist simbol for good luck. Stop freaking out people...

[Jack1685]

its jorma. probs one of the best guitarists the world has ever seen. educate yourself.

[WestEtnaMafia]

LSD is not hard to find you dumb shits

[SOLISDEUS]

Jorma, Seig Heil Israel. More bonds more home's in occupied Palestine for God's chosen. For my part I will weep for the Ukrainian's among whom 25% were slaughtered by the nazi's.

[davemo65]

Jorma is in fact Jewish and very proud of it. The guitar he is playing in this Woodstock clip was bought and paid for using Israel bonds he got as a kid. If you go to his web site and read his latest blog post (10/12/09) he states that he deeply regrets wearing the swastika at Woodstock being older and wiser now.

[EasyEisfeldt]

no, it's a sign for sun I think, of some tribe.. and in English ist swastika

[jimilivesforever]

Dude!!! the guitar player has a Hakenkreuz necklace!!! ( 0:20)

:-D

[nowayout2k]

dont bother,.. the swastika was only used as symbole by the nazis. Infect,... its much older than Hitler and Co.

Originall meaning of it is "be good"

so no,.. seriosly he is no nazi :)

[JvEyk]

Look who came out of his cave. :P

We all noticed that dude! :P

[alsindaniabch]

JA was the Best at WOODSTOCK

[claumaquina]

ah grace slick le re doyyy te amoooooooo hermosa aunque a hora tengas casi 70 añpss. saludos claudio

[BandOnTheRun87]

what is up with grace's blank expression?

[sirigi22]

drugs

[claumaquina]

Te Amo Grace Slick, Aguante Woodstock 1969.Saludos claudio tengo 22 años

[Natio741]

the intro is too similar to Red House by Jimi Hendrix.

[xxblksabbathxx]

Grace was definately a babe

[JasonHi]

Jorma is a bad, bad man.

[SamuBolado]

hot tuna!

[Kungen940127]

Grace is high.... as always

[cpfeiffer3]

Ummmmm Hate to break it to you all but That's not Jefferson Airplane. Grace Slick is watching Hot Tuna playing. Sorry. Title should be corrected

[Garcia42]

Grace was flying higher than a kite on some of the best LSD available that day. Owsley's miracle cure and surrealistic pillow poppers, and special all the way from the west coast. As Grace said that morning "Alight friends you have seen the heavy groups, now you will see morning maniac music, believe me, yea it's the new dawn."

[KennWV]

Do people still do lsd? dont seem to hear much about it anymore....

[Budlord1028]

im not sure if this is a joke or not but yes people still do it.

[bobiscuter]

Yea man. People still do LSD. It's rare I hear about it, but it gets around.

[HockeySog7]

just hard to find and move F' in DEA lol

[greatsilentwatcher]

lol... Grace was still trying to wake up as the sun rose that morning!

[JapaninArmeija]

Could that Swastika symbol originate from Jorma's Finnish cultural heritage? The symbol does appear as a symbol of happiness in old Finnish mythology too.

[greatsilentwatcher]

A common symbol in Hindu and Buddhist traditions...

[JapaninArmeija]

Yes, that is true but it appears elsewhere too.

[michbonn1]

Its a Swastica backwards which comes from buddism and means reincarnation actually!!!!

[pasalacqua38]

OMG, Grace was so stoned.. oO

[ellascissorhands323]

YES SHE WAS! :D

[LacrimosasLiebesspie]

yeah they all were xD

[r4sh89]

i think that with the Swastica necklace, he wanted to remind the real origin of the sign

[yoamofutbol]

... timeless... simply timeless!

[jackhillty1]

if they airplane had let themselves be included in the woodstock film - with this footage - they would have been a staple of the classic rock movement.

but of course, they were too weird for that

[SyNas09]

omg.. i was bron at the wrong time... :S

[MultiBronislav]

@SyNas09 ya, me too!

[RayNDeere]

An early look at what would become Hot Tuna

[KoRnoRama]

what was up with that nazi necklace?

[q1qeu]

its not tilted but still a swastika *g* you are right about the meaning of the sign

[samerika]

idk. but he might be wearing not as a nazi necklace more as a chinese, i think it is, sign.

[nassreiskulturen]

It`s a swastika and it appeared in many cultures.But as they are hippies, this is probably ment to be a hindu sign.

[Hemail]

It's a SWASTIKA google for it !

[claumaquina]

GRACE SLICK I LOVE TE AMO,, tengo 22 años AMO AH ESTA MUJER.saludos claudio SOY ARGENTINO

[darlingpresleyrocks]

Grace Slick is unbelievably sexy.

[DeadOriginal]

I do hope you mean Grace Slick then and not now.

[SamuBolado]

[bobdolecult]

[KennWV]

Im with you man, Gracie was a hottie.

[troncia]

This isn't jefferson airplane, thats alvin lee of ten years after playing. Either way i love it.

[polo339]

No, this is not alvin lee. This is Jorma.

[thebirdman47]

That's The Captain singing and playing! Jorma was and is one of the best!

[Zedetnik]

Grace Slick was soooooooooooooo hot!!!!

[sugarraymarchione]

why he has a swastik???

[laxrulez7]

at 0:20 is that a swasticka he's wearing?

[Darkcore2008]

yes it is......
