The footage has been taken from Channel 4’s official documentary on Monterey. That’s why it says “Monterey Pop” at the beginning, you tedious little moron.
So why not just enjoy the video like the rest of us, and stop wasting everyone’s time with fucking stupid questions.
You sad little wanker…….

WTF? Compare it with all the other Jefferson Airplane footage on youtube from Monterey and see the difference, asshole.

The quality and colour seem okay to me.
Perhaps you are simply going blind from too much wanking…….

Why isn’t there a better copy of this? The rest of their monterey set is out there on better quality footage, even the colours seem wrong. Are you sure this is Monterey? Did they usually play it with an electronic piano?

this song has such a stark beauty to it, its mesmerizing.

Signe a better singer??!!

When Marty’s and Grace’s voice blend, they complement one another with such unadulterated beauty. This tune is so brilliantly written by Martin and peaceful. Surrealistic Pillow was such a potent record!

this is such a beautiful song.
Marty and Grace’s voice just flow together so well, words just don’t say enough.

grace’s skin looks like a female vampiress.
stinkin’ rock stations will not play JA but will play jimi hendrix because he is politically correct.
i loved this music since i first started listening to their music around 1980.

Marty is singing

what about skip spence? lol, yeah man, i wish you luck! i’m sure it just takes a little bit of dedication on everyones part not to let stuff like that happen. Hot Tuna. man, they had so much potential. jorma’s voice/ guitar, and jack’s bass. i really wish they had put out some stronger bluesadelic stuff. something about it. most of it just dosn’t hit. uncle sam blues is pretty heavy though. there are a few. Hesitation Blues! great cover by them. i really dig it. Signe was a better singer

To continue, it was Paul Kantner and Marty Balin who wrote most of the songs, Jorma Kaukenen, Spencer Dryden, and Jack Cassidy should also be given recognition. I actually saw Jorma and Jack perform with Hot Tuna, they were really good. Also, with bands, everyone does work, so when people pick favorites, it pisses me off. My friend/songwriting partner, who is a female vocalist (I’m a guitarist by the way), promised me that after we form our true band, she won’t let this happen to us.

It’s Marty Balin singing. I think this is so funny that Grace Slick is the one they focused on. She was singing along without the microphone being on. Whenever there’s a female lead vocalist, and the rest of the band are men, the lead vocalist is always given recognition and everyone else is ignored. A better example is Big Brother and the Holding Company, better known by people as Janis Joplin.

I just bought the High Flying Bird cd with the complete set of Jefferson from Monterey. When I compare the version of the song from the cd and this video the don’t match. Silly question, but is this video really from Monterey?
January 16th, 2009 at 7:26 am
heh heh heh! yeah, its annoying when they do that with bands. focus on one person because they are so popular. this is marty’s band that he created, and man its sad when you see stuff like this. The best thing to do is just listen, and not watch.

What is kind funny about this clip–and embarrassing for the film maker–is that Grace IS NOT singing lead!! It’s Marty Balin singing lead. Grace is only mouthing the words to the verses and then comes in singing on the chorus–the camera never goes anywhere NEAR Balin!!
Crazy blooper!
January 21st, 2009 at 4:24 am
I saw the documentary on Monterrey Pop, Grace didn’t have her mic on, but because she was mouthing the words (and Marty having a high voice to begin with), the cameras thought it was Grace singing. Paul and Grace had a bit of fun with it in the interviews.
January 24th, 2009 at 4:15 am
hmm, what about patti smith?
January 26th, 2009 at 4:43 pm
Hi, Born! You are right! Marty is singing lead while Grace plays piano and sings harmony. She mouths the words while Marty sings solo.
There are only two cameras used in the clip–both trained on Grace. Either the editor was fooled or the other cameras were all changing film rolls at the time. Concerts are usually shot with several cameras and each cameraman is assigned a zone to cover.
Thanks for your comment. I was confused at first, because I *thought* Marty sang on the record!

the past 40 years has not produced a female rocker that can compare to grace slick. ann wilson is a close second but grace is still #1.
January 27th, 2009 at 5:46 pm
I think of both of em as genius marty balin wrote it ( Think so ) and grace slick has such a hypnotic voice love all of em just great
