..'K. Yea, it's a JA tune (and that's all well & good: The JA were "JA"! ) But the last 8 seconds of the tune, I'm sorry: Thats Jorma. Jorma K: Stride-Master Guitarist, "Roots-of-Roots Musician".. & 1 Goofy Guy with Nifty Tats : o
My favorite part is between 2:47 and 2:53 when the climax breaks and we return to the "tumbling" melody (who plays that?) and Jorma kicks in again with another impressive lick.

uhhhh... their first album as in takes off? no definitely not their best. Although you were probably mistakenly referring to this as their first album. this is their fifth album, Volunteers
the classic rock station in my area plays that disco horseshit from the '70s. I hated it then and I REALLY hate it now. This is REAL classic rock played by musicians not computers.
This version is based on one old shape note hymn and a blues gospel song. Shape note hymns were popular in the folk music world ( and are still sung at folk festivals) This song has been recorded many times. It has been sung by Pete Seeger and Joe Hickerson still performs it. For the history see: Good_Shepherd_(song) at Wikipedia
i remember going on a mission trip and i had discovered this song a few months before. I popped the cassette tape into the car's player and me and my minister were jamming
Good morning, do you like sixties? Listen and pod cast my program " great sound of 60' s " on the site plumfm. Greeting and made blooper in rock and roll. Salut, vous aimez les sixties ? Ecoutez et podcatez mon émission "le super son des sixties" sur plum fm. Salut et faites gaffe au rock'n roll
Who constrains the playlists on Classic Rock stations? They never go deep; same old cuts from a given album, and some albums by many artists are NEVER played. Talk about underestimating the taste and intelligence of listeners (especially those of us in our 50's and 60's).
@alderems Thankfully, due to internet and ipods we can listen to what we want, when we want. Without commercials, political ads, and annoying talk show hosts. =D
Attention all radio Program Directors: please add Good Shepherd to your playlist. It's not that hard. Too many under listeners under 50 who know the Jefferson Airplane for two songs...Just get off your lazy asses..please
Second track on the A side of the disc, perfect placement for this track, always blended in nicely after "We can be Together" can't think of one without the other.
Jorma kaukonen is in my opinion one of the most underrated rock guitarists. This song is the best song on Volunteers and maybe the best of the Airplane.
Jefferson Airplane has a very trippy sound. More so than other bands at this time. I would have liked to see them collaborate with the Grateful Dead. "Playboy Afterdark" has some very cool guest artists. -- Jesusrising
live psychedelic dance band-wize, they were the most adroit at getting the audience off, ie escape velocity, out of all the heavy rotation acts at fillmores, but the stellar level of competition was fierce, i saw led zep, tull, jeff beck, but that was more brit blues rock, totally different species than sf psychedelia, not as good to dance to, oboy do i miss the real live animal which is extincting fast
@wellspout ummmm the Beatles were in the late 60s??? Also I'm not sure how easily you can put this above the bands that had recently just released Led Zeppelin II and Dark Side of the Moon.
I'm not completely disagreeing with you though, I do love the Dead and JA.
@Preisellack My man, WELLSPOUT has a point. Late 60's the Airplane were at their peak and were above The Beatles IMO. They toured- and recorded great live albums too. They kicked ass and put themselves on the line, politically, musically and socially way more than The Beatles did. The Beatles were in their own bubble, a truly great band, but in a bubble. Only Lennon got politically pro-active when he quit the band. By Zep ll & 3 in the early 70's, the JA were on the slide.
first time I heard this was on The Worst of Jefferson Airplane, and I was like whoa, this is really classic rock sounding. It's one of my favorite songs. The live version on Sweeping Up the Spotlight is even more amazing
I just had the wonderful experience of seeing Hot Tuna with Jack & Jourma.
They did this song acousticly .... man I can still hear it playing in my mind.
They jammed it out for 30 minutes ... it was certainly worth the 30 year wait to see them. The Airplane family were the best to come out of the states.
In '69' I attended Jefferson Airplane concert in Philly, then in the summer I flew out to Ca. to see them and others at Altamont (wrong spelling). I have always loved this group. They captured the SOUL of what was happening from 67 to 70. I gave my girlfriend in 1969 Grace Slicks and her brothers albulm...' Conspicuous in its absence' which represented the early pre Jefferson sound.
The Airplane wrote such great and innovative music in their day. Crown of Creation, Volunteers and After Bathing at Baxters are as great a listen today as they were when they were released.
I named my first son Aiko Aiko, after reading Psalms 3.1. Then I changed his name to Christmas Goose after the airplane (howard hughes!).. Now adays, I really like the music which is everlasting (please her soul!)
The rolling-along guitar on this track is unlike anything I've heard. Jorma adds fantastic lead jabs that complement perfectly. A true classic of the 60's and beyond!
Its really sad to see such talented people have to depend on dumb idiots who r only interested in makin money...and on a personal note I hate the fucked up crooked system of some record labels
one of the best of the "obscure songs" from their canon, check out the most delicate and beautiful use of the wah-wah pedal, not as hard driving as most of their stuff... bless them all and hope they're happy in all their journeys..... same to all you listeners out there
@ChordBender True Christianity can never die out it might be a little hard to find with all the mainstream false prophets and preachers preaching a "different Christ and a different gospel" but Christ can never die again so His word will never die either.
Right: the whole album is a tribute to their musicianship. Not an average group. They don't play this on classic rock stations because of the Biblical references, and the personal accountability directive in the lyrics.
@Dunkleosteus9 Because it's not sheep classic rock. When the general public think of classic rock, they think of ACDC, Black Sabbath, Van Halen, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and Queen. Nobody really cares about the '60s; and if they do, it's The Beatles. *rolls eyes*.....Ironic how this song is titled Good Shepherd and it's not part of the herd of classic rock.
One for to make my heart rejoice Can't you hear my lambs acallin Oh good shepherd Feed my sheep If you want to get to heaven Over on the other shore Stay out of the way of the long-tongue liar Oh good shepherd Feed my sheep If you want to get to heaven Over on the other shore Stay out of the way of the gun shot devil Oh good shepherd Feed my sheep
My (Catholic!) Church choir used to sing this every year on Good Shepherd Sunday. Have loved this song forever. Long Tongued Liars, Blood Stained Bandits, Gunshot ????
That musta bean a grreat show. I love this song and still have the original album and the mock news letter that came with it. lol. i miss the old times.
so i have been told that Grace Slick was the first person to say "mother-fucker" on live television, is this true and is there any recorded footage of this??
Fiction can be fun, but really man, briaden your horizons a bit. Listen to Garcia/Merl Sanders 2/9/74 or Garcia Wales or Old and in the way. Jerry could play a broom with fishing line tied up.
I have always loved this song, recently saw HT acoustic do it sweetly. I want to play it in my church band(!) as I feel the theme of being wary of false phrophets. Don't know if they would let me try Jorma's loud lead, though. Yeah, we hippies accomplished nothing, as proved by CBR-CheneyBushRove. Only money can make war. Our armed forces are great; the "leaders" that send them to battle are evil. Peace, Davey

To take a band through the agony that Paul Kantner did, you wouldn't say that. How many name changes, manipulations and poor judgements can you make GWBASSOC!
It's really horrible what Paul Kantner did to this group! Now they are like a bunch of hasbeens on tour with some young chick who can't sing her way out of a paper bag!
@Neoconhater I saw the JA at all the S.F. ballrooms and on the green in golden gate park, never will forget their great live music. I'm 70 now and still listen to my old LP's from the 60's. NEVER DIE YOUNG !. ELLIOTT HILL
Sure it did . It paved to way to much of the freedom and insight that you take for granted or are not even aware of .The money rip off is a yuppie thing.Oh, by the way,~~~~This song is a masterpiece !!! Thank You , JK.
I can't choose between this and "Have You Seen the Stars Tonight?" as favorites, but since Hopkins inspired Slick on piano in that one and most of the other pieces are present, I don't suppose it much matters.
Fantastic the way the acoustics were mixed so strong in this. Amazing for that time.
I've worn out four copies of this album on vinyl, and finally got a CD.
"Turn My Life Down" is a huge piece on the "Volunteers" album...
They don't make albums like this anymore. It came out when I was 15. Played through most of these songs in a rock band. Also caught the Airplane live a few times. I miss those days!
Always liked this song, but then there's so many Airplane numbers I love. Still possibly my favorite band of all time. - writeroffthelake at Geneva-on-the-Lake
When my oldest sister brought home "Worst of JA" in 1970, this became my favorite song on the album. I assumed that it was Marty Balin singing until I heard Hot Tuna a couple years later.
Another great song that the so-called Classic Rock stations are too lazy to play. Listeners are experiencing "Sommebody to Love" and "White Rabbit" fatigue. Thanks for posting.
@kurtzbob This has been going on for over 30 years,some of the best music of the 60's were not the top 40,thus are never played on clear channel mega stations,so the best music does not exist

To take a band through the agony that Paul Kantner did, you wouldn't say that. How many name changes, manipulations and poor judgements can you make GWBASSOC!

I think that was Jorma Kaukonen on that lead guitar solo; far out.

It's really horrible what Paul Kantner did to this group! Now they are like a bunch of hasbeens on tour with some young chick who can't sing her way out of a paper bag!

hey, "skillet chops", maybe he wants to make a living, and prefers music to a job in a cubicle.

@skilletchops Kantner hasn't put together a decent band for 25 years.

@Neoconhater I saw the JA at all the S.F. ballrooms and on the green in golden gate park, never will forget their great live music. I'm 70 now and still listen to my old LP's from the 60's. NEVER DIE YOUNG !. ELLIOTT HILL

@kirby690 Jorma had his seventieth birthday bash on Dec.3 and 4.He played the Beacon theater in NYC.
The line - up of special guests was incredible!! I wish I'd been there!
This song is one of my favorites from JA, Jorma plays this song to this day, and quite well of course!!

I can't choose between this and "Have You Seen the Stars Tonight?" as favorites, but since Hopkins inspired Slick on piano in that one and most of the other pieces are present, I don't suppose it much matters.
Fantastic the way the acoustics were mixed so strong in this. Amazing for that time.
I've worn out four copies of this album on vinyl, and finally got a CD.
"Turn My Life Down" is a huge piece on the "Volunteers" album...

They don't make albums like this anymore. It came out when I was 15. Played through most of these songs in a rock band. Also caught the Airplane live a few times. I miss those days!

Always liked this song, but then there's so many Airplane numbers I love. Still possibly my favorite band of all time. - writeroffthelake at Geneva-on-the-Lake

When my oldest sister brought home "Worst of JA" in 1970, this became my favorite song on the album. I assumed that it was Marty Balin singing until I heard Hot Tuna a couple years later.

Another great song that the so-called Classic Rock stations are too lazy to play. Listeners are experiencing "Sommebody to Love" and "White Rabbit" fatigue. Thanks for posting.
