Jefferson Airplane - Wont You Try/Saturday Afternoon

[pbrucpaul]

The San Francisco sound. What a righteous Trip!

[Jarupe1993]

Groovey shit

[G8GT364CI]

This was my favorite song on one of my favorite albums back then.

[NoRosesForMe]

thumbs up if you think Jefferson Jukebox is the best channel on YT. Or one of the best. 

[robbeyredeye]

Acid, Incense and balloons, Saturday Afternoon, People dancing everywhere, love is shouting "I dont care" Its a time for growing, and a time for knowing.

[NoRosesForMe]

@robbeyredeye We all need to get back to that frame of mind,,,,but withOUT the acid. We can get back to it without heavy dope. Aint this just their best freakin song ever? Love it dearly. xx

[animascat]

@NoRosesForMe right on. sister/brother. so love the harmonies.was around when this came out. acid, incense, no balloons.

[iamther]

Heck it"s Sunday evening and I still love Saturday afternoon better.

[jackhillty]

this is the song we sing in my own personal church

[stevevandien]

This might sound a little dumb; if so, so be it:). But all these years later, I'm struck by the sheer quality of this music. It's rich and complex. The vocal harmonies and instrumental interplay (driven by Jack's powerful bass lines) are impressive, as are the lyrics. I love the live Woodstock version as well, but the studio rendition is of course more precise --

[ragnar1107]

Most influential album of my young life. Had an original promo copy that my ahole dad broke (sorry dad but even at fifty I'll never forgive that one). Now Ive got it on my MP3 player only thing missing is a big 4 fingered bag of columbian.

[robbeyredeye]

@ragnar1107 My old hippie dad uses that same terminology, Best of luck my friend!

[maxauburn]

"After Bathing At Baxter's" is a superb album!!

This is one of my very favorite songs from that lp; I love the Woodstock version, too!

[stevevandien]

@maxauburn I agree:) --

[stevevandien]

@stevevandien Let's put it this way: the studio version is the most beautiful. The live Woodstock rendition is less beautiful, but more exciting:) --

[djharp51]

Yeah, this one takes me back. A time when music had a mission: universal turning-on and, lest we forget, love. And the musicians were into it more than for the money.  Some say this was not a commercially-successful album for the group, as if that has to be the true measure of the brilliance contained there-in. We live. We hope.

[coal4life]

First album I ever bought. The door is still open...

[FrequentlyFried]

funny how at woodstock they say " give you caps of orange" and in this one it's caps of blue. Orange sunshine is a name of a kind of LSD that I think they are talking about.

[zombiestars42]

@FrequentlyFried Blue was a kind of acid too, they've jut adapted the lyrics to the circumstance ;-)



[schniffu]

we had a hard time putting it into practice on a daily basis.

[stillustronic]

In 1970 I had to paint this airplane on several t-shirts. It's a very intricate drawing to paint on a t-shirt for a 13 year old. I believe I got like 5 bucks a shirt.

This very Jefferson Airplane album is still among my favorite albums of all time, especially for when it was released.

[alezander666]

that SUMMER OF LOVE had i believe nearly 30,000 converge in golden gate park,ginsburg,airplane,dead,ec­t,all like some ancient,germanic tribe gathering,NEVER HAS THIS HAPPENED IN OUR KNOWN WORLD,PEOPLE WERE DRAWN THERE,THE ENERGY OF CHANGING THE WORLD,THE WAR,STOPPING THE NIXON MONSTERt must have been cosmic,unexplainable,then woodstock,then it crashed,like berlin,with hitler,dazzling,full of light,then the republicans,evil war went on,but we tried,we did,"love is shouting,i don't care"

[lokabrew]

Love !! from Brasil !!

[Jahoobano]

I don't know told them to "keep it goin" but I'm glad they did.

[Ihugmoons]

yesss

[Django5198]

Surrealistic pillow is one of the most overrated albums ever. This is the real fuckin' deal!!!!! Great musicians and vocals

[dancing0being]

@Django5198

Maybe it is something like "Exile On Main St.". Many say that it is the best Rolling Stones album.

I say, who needs "Exile" when there are "Let It Bleed" and "Beggars Banquet"... Someone can say the same about "Pillow" and "After Bathing At Baxter's".

[hesteaeble]

@Django5198 Dude, the pillow is awesome... I don't understand how you can hate while listening to the airplane...

[pardyhardly]

Nothing like dropping two hits on a beeyootiful saturday afternooon.

[TheIlkka]

I tried, not so fantastic saturday afternoon! Cannabis + LSD+ afternoon +zappa was something terrible, but fantastic long time after!

[Django5198]

@TheIlkka I couldn't listen to Zappa on acid. That is a crime against his amazing music. But listening to Hendrix or this on acid might be interesting.

[Zardoze1]

@Django5198 Back In the day I listened to all of those & more on acid...!... (-:

[stevevandien]

@Zardoze1 Never tried it; how'd that go?:) --

[shelbydawkins]

The Woodstock version is extremely powerful... but this is nice too

[dancing0being]

Great album and song!!! Best JA work.

[waveformrecords]

Just for the record. Sony Music are morons. Not allowing this to be played on FB. I usually pull those down immediately from my wall. Good for them I'm feeling charitable today. ;)

[dancing0being]

@waveformrecords

Blocked worldwide many of my uploads. Classic Sony.

[pifferelli]

this version is very stale compared to the woodstock performance.

but Jack Casady's bass work is fuckin' awesome!!!

[dreama505]

LISTEN SO CAREFULLY.... GREAT GUITAR NOTES by Jorma AT 1.05 So  So subtle

[gremby]

best intro ever

[jakeenan]

Hey folks, it's JeffersonAirplane's time again. The wind is blowing them back round again. They're starting to remember how good this band were. They could do and did everything. They inspired so many other artists.

[MarcosBorgesViana]

@jakeenan Você ainda está vivo? Conseguiu passar por aquela loucura toda?

Você é um exemplar raro. Sobrevivente mesmo. Daquí do meu país só olhávamos e achávamos divertido. Não nos atrevemos a tanto. Mas foi uma época mágica e existia algo mais que porcarias pra consumir. Quem diria que alguém daquela época iria "conversar" via computadores? Poís é! Cuidado com o voos você já deve ter bem mais que 50 anos. Que Deus te abençoe. Ask a brazilian to translate it for you.

[jakeenan]

@MarcosBorgesViana I won't waste my time, mate. I'm sure I'd be disappointed with your reply anyway. I'm just gonna light one up and listen again to one of my favourite songs from one of my favourite bands and.......WON'T YOU TRY and not bother me again.

[bluejelloshots]

I was just in High School listening to this song, and it still hits me right in the heart. The question it asks is the same. Will you abandon yourself to love one more time no matter how badly you've been hurt? Won't you try? And the song says, "All is new. I'll come through for you, My Love!"

[yorkiedog89]

they never play this song in the radio.!!!!!!!

[yorkiedog89]

the woodstock version is great too, but this is the original. not to mention in woodstock they were all stoned, but it still sounded great.

[NSR257]

@yorkiedog89 You think they weren't stoned when they recorded it!?

[micromike737]

This takes me back to the good old days.

[californiaportugee]

A classic for sure...strange and beautiful at the same time...they played it excellent at Woodstock too...God, I miss these guys. To bad I was too young to see them live...saw the '89 reunion tour which was good but lacked the rawness that gave them a lot of their original personality.

[stevevandien]

@californiaportugee "Strange and beautiful at the same time" -- that's EXACTLY how I felt upon first hearing this piece from the "Woodstock" soundtrack while a junior in high school, 36 years ago -- still feel the same way:) --

[yorkiedog89]

This song is better than any dumb, stupid rap/hip-hop shit there is out there today. This song is one of the greatest songsssssssssssssssssss everr. period. no debate about this.

[ebut333uoy]

I agree that "Saturday Afternoon" is one of the greatest songs.

But You can't tell that all hip-hop tunes are dumb shit. This kind of music still has much to say. Why don't you try some of genious works, such as "illmatic" by Nas or any A Tribe Called Quest LP's?

[JanekJG]

only siths deal in absolutes.

[dannyhood66]

That open E string in beginning sounds like some hippie slit the speaker of the guitar amp with a razor blade...Ha!

[yorkiedog89]

@dannyhood66

My x played the guitar amp, and made the same noise.

[ShutTheFuckUp0809]

I need to get this mp3 for my ipod. U got it? awesome song.

[jackhillty]

I can but dance behind your smile

[robbeyredeye]

When your head is feeling fine

You can ride inside our car

Zelienople. This is OUR Schizoforest Love Suite!!

[zombiestars42]

acid, incense and balloons...aaah, hippies :-)

[hardcorepunkable]

jefferson airplane,nice one,very nice

[bpops53]

orange sunshine on a saturday afternoon

[iamther]

sometimes i played this song on a friday afternoon. god i mis the 60"s & 70"s

[Grentyr]

Great song,G.

[Kungen940127]

Have a nice flight

[6749er]

I'm from SF Bay & The Times & this sounds just like driving in a car dosed to Golden Gate Park & JA for Free with people dancing everywhere.

Always flashes me back to the High Times in the Wild West-Thanks!

[ToMaToNiS]

I'm floating while listening to this... What a Beautiful track from one of my favorite Psychedelic Rock bands...

[ascheepe]

this is the jefferson airplane which takes me on a mysterious journey without any drugs of any kind, just play it and I'm high sort a speak. Love it! Thanks! *reloads and has a nice flight*

[danettecute]

this the classical music of the 60's--the

best ever made--raw and beautiful

and flowing! I wanted to move to

California---that is where it was happening.

[gullwing14]

Grace Slick has one of the best voices ever.

[coolguy1028]

I liked the woodstock verison better but this is solid

[KD853]

@coolguy1028

I agree. But this is still the best song ever

[ttop9999]

@coolguy1028 lol, proof on how great Jefferson Airplane really is

[wrrntl]

@coolguy1028 Sure live performances of this song are incredible but unfortunately Grace Slick usually was in her alter ego Grace Sick, wheeled out drunk on stage more often than not. Plus this is an entire album sort of song, this LP just oozes raw acid, enough to catch a contact

[sorbus49]

When I played The Album Jefferson Airplane After Bathing At Baxters to My Friend after Listen to it He said this is Ten Years ahead of any British Band he was wrong within Two Years British Bands had not only caught up but had Burst The Evelope Wide Open but The Rawness of This is even Now still Startling
