Jefferson Airplane - Surrealistic Pillow Rock Rock. Discography of Jefferson Airplane. Album title Year Tracks Bitrate.
Thank you for a real good time! Good story abou this in 'Living with the Dead'. Apparently the dead was in the adjacent studio when this album was being recorded.
Jerry checked them out and saw them struggling to piece together some songs. Heroes 6 cd key activation code free. After listening he started to give a suggestion but then held back and left. Later that night at midnight they call Garcia up and ask him what he was going to say. He goes back to the studio with his guitar and rearranges the songs for them. Album and songs eventually go to #1 on the charts.
Garcia largely uncredited for his efforts. (Sorry if I butchered any part of this story) • • • • •. A quick Google search turned this up: Quoted from 'Garcia was asked about Surrealistic Pillow in a mid-’67 interview – the interviewer enthused about How Do You Feel: “Yeah, I played flattop on that. I didn’t play flattop in My Best Friend. Skip Spence did – he wrote the song. Let’s see, on Today I played the high guitar line, and I played on Plastic Fantastic, and I played on Comin’ Back To Me I’m fond of the songs that Grace is in: I like Rabbit a lot, I like Someone to Love – the original on the album is more or less my arrangement, I kind of rewrote it.
I’ve always liked the song she used to do with the Great Society, but it didn’t have - the chord changes weren’t very interesting.” The Airplane felt Garcia did more than just hang out! Paul Kantner said, “We had an RCA producer, but Garcia did the art side of it.” And Jorma Kaukonen said, “Jerry could be credited with really being the producerin that he was one of us and he knew what to do with the band He really was the producer who arranged those songs.” We would be rehearsing something out in the studio, [Garcia] would say, 'I have a nice little part that would work in there; maybe you should play this.' And he would pick up his guitar and go boom, 'Why don't you play that?' And he would play it so good that we said, 'Why don't you play it? It sounds really good and we can't play it better than that.
Come on, help us out here.' Done quoting but I could keep going! Been listening to this record since I was a kid and never knew the Dead connection. Pretty excited to find all this out!
