An awesome tune with great lyrics from the last truly great Jefferson Starship LP. Red Octopus had a few good cuts, but this album was solid. Paul and Grace at their best -- and a strong supporting cast, including the cameo from Marty on the beautiful "Caroline."

So glad to see this back--thanks, ClydeJB2!!

This song has been making me weep all summer as I say goodbye to my son, off to grad school on the other end of the continent. I put it on a tape in 1985 when I left my parents' home for long distance move....and now the circle is complete. Thanks for a poignant, beautiful and deeply moving son...

One of the best Kantner-Balin compositions since the great old days of the Airplane and early Starship. Inspiring (and great pics) -- despite what we have allowed to happen to our great country, this song makes me want to believe again in The Promise...aaah, the undying optimism of an American o...

This is incredible. Who KNEW there was even one accordion in this song, let alone two? Brian's genius has just been magnified for me.

Brilliant, timeless, powerful, and more urgent than ever (the message that is).

Brian Wilson is one of the true geniuses in the history of rock and roll. This version of a great song sparkles with energy.

One of the most beautiful pop songs EVER written. A lovely rendering here by the genius.

Next best thing to my old summer travels through the great Southwest. Cosmic Cowboys the old NRPS were/are.

There has never been a more perfect song.

Amazing performance from Paul. Unrepentant and brilliant as ever.

No one writes songs like this anymore, nor does anyone perform with this level of vocal genius and stage grace -- unlike nearly every female vocalist today, Dionne never over -

sings. What an amazing duo.

Thank you. Fascinating. Beautiful footage!

One of the best and most important and innovative bands in Rock and Roll history and they still kick ass like it was 1967!

God, is this awesome. No one makes music remotely resembling this any more.

Beautiful video to a lovely and sacred song.

Such a great song -- and tragically, more timely than ever..

Haunting to hear this now as the nuclear nightmare in Japan unfolds.

What is this performance from? Stunning.

Good God! The woman sings right through me--body, mind, and soul. Simply the greatest female vocalist in rock history--one of the greatest, period.

Have you any idea why they're lying to you -- to your faces?

@woodchuk123 Your comments touch my heart...exactly my sentiments. Thanks

Amazing interdisciplinary artistic vision here--and a superbly produced video.

I have been watching this movie religiously every year for 40 years, the last 10 or so with my daughter... Not the greatest movie of all time, but a great nostalgic tribute to our World War II heroes, a wonderful feel-good Christmas movie, and a great showcasing of Bing Crosby's immense talents. ...

The Fab Four meet the San Francisco sound....an existential hallucinogenic-inspired work of musical genius here. We still miss you George and John--and this f----d up world of ours needs you more than ever.

A timeless masterpiece, this song gives me comfort this evening as I find myself part of a college community in northwest Pennsylvania which is mourning the tragic, horrible death of a beautiful young dancer murdered and taken from her family and friends at the tender young age of 20. Be in Peac...

Brilliant as it sounded back in 1967. I heard Paul McCartney describe this as the greatest pop song ever recorded, and the sweetness of the melody, the soaring harmonies, the syncopated rhythms, the unspeakably lovely crescendo finish make it very hard to disagree. Love you, Brian.

Inspired performance of the quintessential song of revolution from a time when it was in the air and lots of bands vaguely evoked it. The Airplane was the real deal -- true musical and political visionaries.
