The best part of this song is the “Feed your head” part at the end. Folks still think it’s a license to take drugs but Slick herself said it’s basically just “Read a f***ing book once in a while.”

The only bad thing about this song is that it’s way too short…it’s such an amazing song.

Totally live performance. No lip-synching going on at all. Much respect.

The exact moment you two heard Grace Slick's voice for the first time-WOW! The priceless expression on both of your faces! You're groovin', heads bobbing up and down in rhythm, and then- I'm a classically trained composer, and I've always noticed something interesting about this song. In composition we can write a marking of "crescendo" which means "start making the music louder and more intense." Usually this is followed by the opposite marking: decrescendo. Ebb and flow, right? One thing I've always loved about this song is that it is basically a 2.5 minute crescendo from beginning to end. It starts small and quiet. Very low range on Grace Slick's voice. But it just amps up from beginning to end, the voice reaching higher and higher, unrelenting. It's one of the reasons this song feels so trippy. It gives you that rush.

Speaking of going down rabbit holes, Jefferson Airplane becomes Jefferson Starship and then Starship. They have hit songs in all three incarnations.

Her voice is haunting, it draws you in like a trance. So talented!

In the book, Alice was not taking drugs. She was a kid bored with the routine of life and she fell asleep and dreamed. The trippyness of the story comes from dreaming as your imagination takes over.

This is a rare song because it has no chorus. It starts and then just progresses until it ends

"Don't You Want Somebody To Love" is their other big hit, and it's much more mainstream and accessible. Good showcase for her voice, too.

"Somebody to love" is a banger from them and really shows off Grace's voice.

1967 Feed Your Head. I was 17. Everything was trippy. Feed your head also meant to obtain knowledge. My generation explored different cultures, ideas, philosophies...it was a great time to grow up. But still..everything WAS trippy lol!

One of the anthems of the sixties...

Trippy, yes this is the psychedelic era and Jefferson Airplane was at ground zero being a San Francisco band. I saw them in 1967 and must say they gave a memorable concert along with Strawberry Alarm Clock, Moby Grape, and Quicksilver. Great choice and your reference to shrooms are totally on point.

So hilarious how you both froze solid when you heard her voice. You and everyone else in, on, and around all planets.

Grace's voice was a powerhouse but so was Grace. She had (and still has) exactly zero F's to give. She's one of the first women to lead a major rock band and not just be a babe in the band. EVERY female major performer since owes a debt to Grace.

She is known for her absolute perfect pronounciation of words... flawless

Grace Slick has a strong, scary voice. And a strong, scary personality. She's great!

Jefferson Airplane was one of the bands that defined Psychedelic Rock, aka Acid Rock.

Yes!!! Nailed it Amber!!! Alice In Wonderland!!! Song was indeed based on the novel!! 👍🏻👊🏼

this song is one of my absolute all time favorites. it captures, everything, and never too much.

Her voice was specifically that way for the story. The tone was part of the trip. Grace Slick has a great voice.

You two are killing it on this Female Friday!! This song sounds so menacing; it scared me as a kid, lol!! Grace Slick is a powerhouse; you are right, Amber, she is talking about "Alice In Wonderland", and, as this was in the 60's, they were fans of psychedelic drugs, especially Grace, lol.

"I feel like I just took some 'shrooms or somethin'..." My dude, that is entirely the point.

I had a very dear friend who used to live a few houses down from the garage where they all used to practice! She told me how she would open the windows and sit by the window and listen to them practice! She had so many wonderful memories of Haight Ashbury! She was called home, she was 93 years young! I miss her so much. Thank you for a trip down memory lane!😊

"Don't you want somebody to love". Fire, and her voice is on full display.

Grace Slick is def a US Icon for sure. This song performed at Woodstock and Somebody to Love, when you can see clearly everybody is off their melons, she just pulled out one of the most amazing female vocals on both songs live, in a time when it meant everything. So digging your reactions guys. Thanks for keeping a single dad on the other side of the pond sane and happy to be here. Thank you!

Its nice to see such young people giving an INTELLIGENT reaction and synopsis of this classic tune!

I truly enjoy sometimes watching you guys. I came up through the ‘60’s & ‘70’s. So it’s refreshing to watch young people realize that mom and dad were pretty cool after all. Edit: Responding to the comments about shrooms and trippy: Many of us are guilty of over-indulgence back then… ‘Nuff said.

This is songwriting. Who would have ever ATTEMPTED to write a psychedelic rock song about the Alice in Wonderland story. It’s AWESOME.

this was a late 60s psychedelic song. jefferson airplane was one of the biggest bands of the late 60s. they were very popular. another song to react to by them is “somebody to love”

The amazing thing about this song is that every verse goes up another key until it eventually reaches the climactic note Grace sings at the end

In 1989 the Airplane did a reunion tour. Grace was asked what “feed your head “ means now. She said “read a book “.

Great song from a time that can not be repeated. Yes on the Alice in Wonderland. If you are an Alice in Wonderland fan, Tom Petty did a song with that theme. Don’t come around here no more? Someone will correct me.

When you talk about "Psychedelic", this band was heavily involved in the whole San Francisco music scene that spawned the Psychedelic culture. This song is from 1967. That year is pretty much when the whole Psychedelic thing exploded. They called it "The Summer of Love"...

Alice Through the Looking Glass - Great book. There’s also a book titled “Go Ask Alice” which is a real teen girl’s diary published anonymously. All books, like music, were new once. ❤

Grace Slicks voice gives me chills. Great song. Jack Casady and Jorma Kaukonen are great.

Still waiting for the original Pretenders with Chrissie Hynde - an icon.

The last line in the song 'Feed your head' may be her reference to drugs but it also means acquire knowledge, educate yourself, pay attention to developing your mind. Physically people age, but a well stocked mind will always remains an asset and a store of pleasure.

Grace Slick has an amazing voice! You should listen to "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now," which they released in the 80s after the group had evolved from Jefferson Airplane into Starship.

The song is based off of a book in the 60s called "Go ask Alice" , its about a troubled teen and drugs.

You were both immediately mesmerized by Grace Slick's voice. That was a great moment.

My favorite song is actually from the Jefferson Starship Red Octopus album, Miracles. I'm not much into love songs really, but THAT one, is a beautiful journey. I was so lucky, in 1989, I went with a high school boyfriend to Golden Gate Park, for a memorial tribute to Bill Graham, We got to see the original Jefferson Airplane perform a day concert for a homeless food drive in Graham's honor, anyone growing up in California between 1960 and 1990 had the words Bill Graham Presents printed on their concert tickets, Wavy Gravy even attended, and it was fun to see my teen vocal idol in person, and the reactions of older people who were surprised we knew all the lyrics, we were 19 and 22, had an absolute blast.

There is a recording of Grace Slick’s voice isolated from the Woodstock performance of White Rabbit, it’s amazing.

Her voice is absolutely amazing, considering how stoned they were back then it is amazing that any of them could stand up let alone perform. There is film of her performing at Woodstock just 4 years later & she looks 15 years older.

Somebody To Love is the biggest hit from them featuring Grace on lead

White rabbit is a classic of theirs from the old day's, along with "Don't you want somebody to love".

Yes Alice in Wondeland. My first concert was Jefferson Airplane 1967. I’ve been hooked on rock and roll ever since

Grace Slick is the only woman who could ever pull off that warble in her voice and it sends shivers down my spine to this day... And considering this was LIVE... Dude...

When someone asks about the 60's and wants an example of a psychedelic song, I suggest this one to start. There are many more, but this one suffices. Good Reaction!!! A lot of songs you are reacting to, are songs I still listen to a lot.

Excellent reaction. Gotta do Bobbi Gentry, Ode to Billy Joe. It’s so good.

You are the best reaction channel..I watch your videos..over and over with joy and never get tired of it..and please..don't ever stop doing this..thanx

I just love this song. Grace"s voice is awesome along with the beat .❤

Grace Slick was just awesome!! She had a big, powerful voice! Listen to "Don't You Want Somebody to Love", great and classic song!! Jefferson Airplane were in the midst of the whole psychedelic movement in the mid and late 60's. They made it big as Jefferson Airplane, the became Jefferson Starship, then Starship. Grace Slick is also a good artist. Enjoyed the reaction!

Iconic song by a female artist - You Don't Own Me, by Leslie Gore

I love that she got this song right away. Grace Slick would love it!

One of the trippiest songs ever. Pardon me now. I have to go feed my head!!!

LOL As soon a Gracie Slick started singing, you guys froze haha She definately has a powerful voice!

When this song was released every kid was very familiar with Alice In Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. I know I was.

I love your openness and respect for eachother. you are a joy.

Somebody to love is another Jefferson airplane song that is really good

Much like a mushroom her voice grows on you. "Acid Rock" in general is definitely hit or miss with most most people.

This song was in the movie "Go Ask Alice", about a girl that OD'd.

This was such a unique song. Grace had an amazing voice when she was young. Jefferson Airplane’s set at Woodstock was amazing. If you want another recommendation you could do worse than checkout Fairport Connvention with the Late Sandy Denny singing Who Knows Where The Time Goes. The best female vocals you will hear for a very long time.

brings back memories, watching this on tv all those years ago, and the rest as they say, is history😉😎🤙

A good Female Friday artist: Carole King. ⭐🌟⭐🌟⭐

From Jefferson Airplane to Jefferson Starship and beyond, I love this band! PEACE!!!!!

Another classic. This song summed up the 70's. Don't waist your time (or brain cells) trying to figure the song out. Just enjoy the trip.

This song is one of the badges of our generation.

Lzzy Hale from Halestorm is another powerhouse female rocker and you gotta check her out on a Female Friday! Miss the Misery is a great song to check out.

Born in the 50”s raised in the 60’s boy am I glad! I heard and seen most every old band you’ve played. Would not trade my age for youth for nothing. Keep em coming you usually looked surprised 😳

I was born 1957 and had the pleasure of the best music in my teen years. love the female fryday!! this song is def about trippin

In the mid 70's I moved into a house that the band lived in. The first time I used the toilet in my bedroom I found the gold record to this song glued to the botton of the toilet seat cover.

I like watching you two listening to songs I loved for decades. This is really fresh, and I appreciate your comments on these great old songs.

Welcome to psychedelic rock - Grace Slick had one of the strongest, purest voices of that - or any other - era. She is definitely worth listening to again.

Great song! Love her voice! I just wish it was longer. Feed your head!

As a teenager I fell in love with the mesmerizing Grace Slick while watching her sing this on the "Smothers Brothers".

Her version of this at Woodstock is even more iconic.

Lol hahaaa! You froze when she started singing lol Yes, they do that, that's why they're epic!

You youngsters never realized we oldies knew how to rock ‼️‼️

Grace Slick said she wrote this while on an acid trip. She said it was her take on parents reading such weird stuff as Alice in Wonderland, then wondering why their kids end up on drugs. It was one of the first songs to successfully get drug references past the censors. It is a great song

San Francisco band from the heyday of Haight & Ashbury! Psychedelic Rock at its peak right there. 😉

Fascinating to see someone hear this for the first time... While Grace Slick's voice is a signature, you need to listen to the whole sound. All the musicians were great.

Yes, “Trippy” Then add some ,Psychedelics ! You caught that fast. 💯👩🏼‍🦳

I saw an interview with Grace and she said the song was a metaphor that your parents can directly affect how their kids may get bad influences from them including drug use. Alice is a great story to relate to drug use.

Feed your head! This was an anthem.

This is my karaoke go-to song and one of my favorite tunes of all time. Thanks for doing a reaction to it! :)

I'm so glad you young people get to hear all the wonderful songs of the past. I enjoy watching you guy.

Try The Pretenders / Chrissie Hynde for a female Friday. Janis may be the queen of female rock vocalists, but Chrissie is a bona fide rock goddess. First album is a masterpiece, try Precious or Up the Neck. And check out Revolution on Isle of View for a touch of social statement. You won't be disappointed!

Lewis Carroll who wrote Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, was taking Mescaline at the time he wrote the book, so yes, the drug references are real.

Her voice is Pure Power !

I saw Jefferson Starship live a few years ago. This is by far the most popular song. and " Somebody to Love "

So glad to hear you make that connection to the book. So many miss it entirely. It shows a true cleverness in composing these lyrics. I love you guys! You trip me every time!

Your lady knows a lot ..she has been cultured

I travelled from Bermuda to San Francisco to see Grace Slick & Janis Joplin at the Avalon in the Haight Ashbury district. Mind blowing couple of weeks.

This is one of the songs that makes it onto _every_ "Flower Children" or "Sixties" themed playlist...

A couple of more Female Friday suggestions: Evanescence - Everybody's Fool Annie Lennox - Why Fleetwood Mac - As Long As You Follow (Really shows off Christine McVie's talents with Stevie Nicks on backing)

Grace Slick is an icon...from the mid 60's (here) through the 90's (Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, Starship and a few solo albums) worth your time.

I am very fortunate to say that I saw them perform this live a few times, and her voice is just one of the great recognizable voices of rock.. the song is epic and iconic and if you are my age and live through those times, you couldn’t go anywhere without hearing white rabbit or someone to love. They always had something to say to Jefferson Airplane… grace slick is a historic iconic singer, and this song will always be in Music history

This is some "psychedelic, hippie stuff" Had to listen to it twice. Wow.

This was not the best introduction of her voice. "Don't you want somebody to Love" will give you a better appreciation of her vocals.
