I had friends that knew Grace. They said she was funny, and crazy, a joy to be around! Anything for a laugh!

[LJ-gnun]

I remember this episode! Grace was always fun as hell and had (still has?) a wicked sense of humor! Thanks for the memories and great music you left us Grace!

I loved this lady in the 60’s, I loved this lady lady in the 70’s, I loved this lady in the 80’s, I loved this lady in the 90’s, I’ve loved this lady through the century we are now in, I will love her long after I’m gone from this earth. I will spread her love throughout the universe!

Letterman was must see back in the day. Fun, funny, snarky, smart. You don't know what you got till it's gone.

She's always been Grace Slick when interviewed. Never know what she'll go off on. Rock Star.

[danwint]

Grace Slick is for real, not a fake and a great singer.

[mariovaccarella]

Grace Slick wasn't only a great singer, but, even pretty decent comedian

[Firefox-xfcq]

Grace was a true classic. One of a kind.

[Vicki-ve]

She is very intelligent. So funby, doesn't hold back.
Great rock singer. Love Across the Board!

[joe-zpge]

the best female rock singer in history

[frederickglasser]

Not only was she probably the best female rock voice, she was always one helluva of an interview.

[rev.randall]

Love White Rabbit, and many more . I havent seen her much on shows, this was a great clip. Looks a little nervous, but shows her great sense of humor.

[Tyhbcc]

Spitfire/Red Octopus are great albums. I love her voice talking and singing.

Charlton Heston used the "not blowing my skirt up" line in True Lies 7 years after this appearance. This appearance was 6 months after the movie Mannequin came out and Grace and Starship had a #1 hit with the theme song "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now."

Letterman was the king of 80-90s late nite.

[gussygoro]

I like how Grace credits phrase friends.

[T-bone]

This is when late nite TV was worth watching. David was a great interviewer and had the best guests. The present day people cannot come close. Does anyone remember Tom Snyder? A fantastic talk show host. I'm showing my age. These young people are jerks. Where's my lunch?

4:11 "Oooh boy, here we go!!! I'm back at the Fillmore!"

[moorlock]

Grace’s daughter was right; “Transatlantic” should have been a single. So many Starship tracks sound like hits.

Growing up in South San Francisco during 60's, I had a Major Crush on Grace Slick❤!
