I'm the type of person who thought the 19 minute Greatful Dead song "Shine your Love Light" was not only good but unbelievable. Seems that most others thought it was horrible. Point is, everyone's different.

I was watching the previously unreleased songs on the Woodstock 40th DVD. I realized I needed a Jefferson Airplane CD, as all I had from them was a LP titled "The Worst of the Jefferson Airplane". I was going to buy "volunteers", but saw that the Woodstock Airplane 2 CD set had Volunteers on it, along with a Woodstock 1 and 2 live performances. Volunteers had a 6 minute version of "Woodenships". The Woodstock 2 CD had a 20 minute 54 second version of "Woodenships".

For me, "Woodenships", sums up all my Woodstock feelings. The 20 minute version seems to go beyond the imagination. I never realized Gracie Slick had such a powerful voice.

The picture is from 1977. Nobody told us out here in the Wilderness of Washington State that Woodstock '69 was a Sunset of the Hippie Culture. We were still living it.
