The song is about Alice in Wonderland and how the story is actually about Alice doing drugs. "One pill makes you larger and one makes you small". In the story Alice drinks potions, takes pills, smokes mushrooms causing her to hallucinate and go on this fantastic journey into Wonderland. There's a talking rabbit who's focused on time and how he "can't be late". There's a caterpillar sitting on a mushroom smoking a hookah pipe. The pieces on the chess board become men who want to attack her. She comes across an endless tea party hosted by the Mad Hatter. Then there's the Red Queen who wants to cut off her head. The song warns you not to waste your time on "the pills that mother gives you cause they don't do anything at all'. If you want to go on a trip, 'go ask Alice she knows" what pills will get you to Wonderland.

Grace Slick the singer turned 80 this year, I think it speaks to her talent that someone so young enjoys her/their music!

You were born 50 years too late love your reactions subscribed

Just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in. Banger

Looking for the Grace Slick isolated vocal of this song is a worthy pursuit. Without the music it is easier to really appreciate her voice.

Every time I hear this song, I keep remembering the scene in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" with Dr. Gonzo telling Raoul (Hunter S. Thompson) to drop the tape machine in the bathtub when the song peaks.

Some people who are watching this video are probably laughing at the garb and sunglasses etc (it's the sixties ,man ,get over it) ...but you know what is no joke ...the music ...Peace and Love.

The building of the tension and sound in the music that matches her volume and energy tword the end of the song after the slow ride finally building to this uptempo crescendo at the end is just masterful. It's the slow tempo and tension here that really drives this work of art.

"Today" is a beautifully haunting love song from the same album, and "Volunteers" was a great rallying, protest song from 1969; both were sung by Marty Balin.

Lovely Grace Slick... In KZfaq there is her isolated studio vocal of this song

Jefferson Airplane did this song at Woodstock, phenomenal performance!

Try their "Somebody to Love" Live at Woodstock.

What a great voice Grace Slick had

Love this song! I didn't do drugs in the 70's but I enjoyed listening to her sing this song. Her voice was awesome!

For Psychedelic Music other than White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane....you might want to react to "You Keep Me Hanging On" by Vanilla Fudge which was a cover song of The Supremes of Motown and the song went to No.1 on the Billboard Chart in 1968. Very Psychedelic!!!

Feed your head my brother

For me. the most psychodelic song is from Steve Miller Band, Wild Mountain Honey.

"Embryonic Journey" is an amazing Jefferson Airplane song that highlights Jorma's incredible guitar work...

GRACE SLICK! POWERHOUSE ❤❤❤

3/5 of a mile in 10 seconds off the live album Bless its Pointed Little Head is one of my favorites of thiers.

Pope-alychous tripsville daddy oh! Pass the LSD and groove it to a chill. Haunting beautiful song. Nice choice

Look around online and find the story about an early Airplsne show in Germany where a VERY drunken Grace, snarling at the audience and taunting them about WWII, growling "who won the war, who won the war"? Paul told that story in an interview, he said it was "very ugly" and nearly prompted a riot.

Feed your head !! ❤️✌️

SOMEBODY TO LOVE is another great song by Jefferson Airplane.

"When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead." .... Great line.

Absolute bliss from 'airplane' was 2 years later: "wooden ships". Great live, one of the highlights at Woodstock :)

This is actually the first psychelic song that was played in the radio waves at those times and yes Alice in Wonderland's dipper meaning was about the adventures of the mind when high in drugs💊💉🥴🤪

I agree with all the comments below

Jefferson Airplane “ Volunteer “

You know they recorded some stuff for Sesame Street when it first came out like "Jazzy spies". That had a groove too man wow

White Rabbit is a great song. I like that it's short. Some people felt it should've been longer, but I think it's exactly how they wanted it to be. There just wasn't any reason to add any more. It was just the right amount : )

Miracles and You Can Count On Me are two of my favorite Jefferson Starship songs.

Some psychedelic songs to check out - Smell of incence - The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band I had too much to dream - The Electric Prunes Keep Your Mind Open - Kaleidoscope Ecstacy - The Peanut Butter Conspiracy Mind Flowers - Ultimate Spinach

I think "Somebody to Love" was their best song.

Real Music 💥

Well just in case if ya don't know, it's the greatest Drug ballot of the 60s and 70s and Grace Slick is Queen.

Have you ever watched as Alice in wonderland. She goes down the rabbit hole and she takes tablets which makes her larger band small. Then runs across a smoking caterpillar. Ref .. smoking opium. Any knights talking backwards. And the queen of hearts saying off with their heads. Glace slick found so many stories that referenced drugs. Like Peter Pan. Sprinkling dust so they could fly.. cocaine. If you ever went back and watched Alice in wonderland. The song Will make more sense

Would love to hear some Pixies. Gouge away or where is my mind. Like your reactions.

To understand the lyrics you have to realize that the Alice she's talking about is Alice In Wonderland and all the other things mentioned are other characters in the book.

Always on my playlist!!!! Love Jefferson Airplane

☮️💙💙💙🔥

Hey Pope! White Rabbit is a masterpiece. 🔊🔊🔊

Please also do their songs: "Today" and "Comin' Back To Me." Thanks, Pope!

Love your channel~

Alice in Wonderland...it's so groovy baby! 😁👍❤🤙

This here is essential for one's library.

Here are some long psychedelic masterpieces- In a gadda da vida - by Iron Butterfly .. 17 + mins The End - by The Doors off of their 1st album.. 11 + mins Echoes - by Pink Floyd.. 23 + mins off of their album Meddle.. Hope ya listen/react to em all! 🤟🎸👍

Alice as in Wonderland

I hadn’t heard this song in a long time.

I'll think you'll dig Babe Ruth - The Mexican

I recall another song on that psychedelic songs video which caught your attention. It's by, The Byrds and it's called, "Eight Miles High". Always enjoy your reactions.😊

Slick performance from Grace...

Alice and Wonderland

Grace is an original.

New sub, love your floyd videos 👍

One of my top ten of all time, from anyone. For another Jefferson Airplane Grace Slick psychedelic masterpiece, listen to Rejoyce (this is the correct spelling). A bit too long for radio play at the time so not the hit White Rabbit was. Also, probably too psychedelic for mass radio play. I think you will definitely like it and get it. There is no video that I know of with Rejoyce. Don’t let that stop you! By the way , the studio version of White Rabbit is also better than this live version in that Grace’s vocals are even better!

Check out Creams “In the White Room”

I love that damn near no reactors get the Alice in Wonderland reference... fucking schools.

Alice in Wonderland

this is awesome but try the version of this by george benson its crazy.

Read Alice in Wonderland.

More psychedelic = more good

Smart reaction, but hard to understand. Get a mic when you can!

Her voice. Grace Slick. And that audacious delivery. 👏🏼 Later on the band became “Jefferson Starship”. Don’t bother your time with that. Superficial drivel.
