One of the best guitar tracks of all time, for sure!

[rupe]

Saw him play this locally a few years ago and it blew me away. (Ridgefield Ct) He is scheduled to play there again in April of 2024.... at 83 years old!

Jorma -- the unheralded heart and musical soul of Jefferson Airplane. Awesome.

[Onehappyworlds]

Just simply beautiful. Jorma, one of my favorite guitar players.

[senrom]

There are not enough up-thumbs in the universe to rate this properly.

[bobot]

I love seeing Jack, even though he was't playing, standing right there by Jorma's side! Jack and Jorma are awesome!!

[bradisaacson]

This is my numero uno musical piece by Jorma, from my much younger days. At 72 I still listen to this piece along with a few of my other favorites from Jefferson Airplane as well as other 'hippy' and psychedelic performers and groups. Now, those were the good old days! And, let us not forget the etheric voice of Grace Slick.

Guitar God Jorma. Always mesmerized watching this man play.

[artiem]

i remember hearing this live, tears streaming down my face...

[claudialunden]

This and Water Song reveal Jorma’s inner soul. Beautiful.

[brandeccohall]

I remember tripping on LSD listening to this when I was peaking and feeling reborn. One of my best memories.

[imalt]

Loved this since the first time I heard it on the Surrealistic Pillow album.

[csablan]

Heard this when I was 8 years old on the first episode of The Wonder Years. Miss it back then. When I was still free as a bird.

[TramJizzle]

He makes it look so easy and effortless, beautiful song, this and the Water Song are worth the price of admission

[donwarnick]

They were so much more than white rabbit. Hopefully people will keep discovering them for the next thousand years.

SUCH A WONDERFUL SONG

JORMA KAUKONEN AND THE GREAT MIKE WILHELM OF THE CHARLATANS WERE THE TWO MOST EXPERIENCED ACOUSTIC GUITAR PLAYERS IN SAN FRANCISCO IN 1967

MIKE & HIS BAND PIONEERED THE SAN FRANCISCO SOUND

Lovely to see this and the comments section not be polluted by all the Friends comments.

[bravesirrobin]

That was awesome, I just love that laid back acoustic guitar playing

[jaik]

Saw Hot Tuna at the Aladdin in 2011 and this song was simply astonishing

[crosslink]

I love how, even after all these years and all those performances, he still has to concentrate on that section between about 1:05 and 1:30. I still can't figure it out, looks like he has issues with it too (and smiles while concentrating so he doesn't f-it-up!).
