Jefferson Airplane The House At Pooneil Corners Woodstock 1969

[ThiefAfterDark]

At 9:07 -> "Good night from the Jefferson Airplane"

Their performance was at around 8:00 in the morning, so wtf?

"You and me we keep walking around seeing all the bullshit around us".

This is what life is like the moment I leave the front door every day.

The absolute best JA song!! Love it!! Never gets old!!!

I always laugh at the fact that the announcer forgot to mention Jorma in the end :p

Great band, great song. Thank gods for this music.

Sunday Noon , they were so blown out, it took them 3 tries to get it right.

Can you turn it up!? OMFG I had no idea they also performed the Apocalyptic Pooneil at Woodstock. This version is unique and sounds great! It gets more awesome every minute.

BTW, listen to the 2nd half of the original "You, Me & Pooneil" from Woodstock - Paul & Grace meld it with lyrics from "Hijack", from their "Blows Against the Empire" record.

I was THERE. As the sun rose, I left my 300,000 friends to walk the edge of the bowl to get a granola breakfast at the Hog Farm. I will never forget the Airplane coming on and hearing Grace utter her immortal words. I'd been up all night at the most thrilling event of my life at that point (age 18) or since. What I wouldn't give to be there again. (Furthur plays there in a month at Bethel Woods, and I WILL be there again. This song ain't never gonna end.....)

Patti Smith's inspiration I think. The passion, adlibbing. Great post

[celebrant9]

What a heavy song, probably my favourite by JA. Love Grace's voice (no shit right, lol) and the comments she makes at the first couple of minutes. What a way to end their performance, what a band.

Love this version of the song. The music is spot-on not one note out of place. Even them tripping over their vocals early-on is like perfect jazz. I mean, at this point they were totally fried. But that's how good they were. And, it is one the greatest existential tracks ever written.

These, are the Airplane...now go and be a good boy my son.

That ending screech of feedback... dear god. Sounds like all the horrors of nuclear war and death presented in the lyrics. Jorma is BA.

[keo774]
