I agree that this is fantastic.  Perhaps Bron-Yr-Aur could be considered for the conversation though.

It's always great to be reminded that Jefferson Airplane was so much better than the starship farce.

I was first introduced to this song by Leo Kottke's cover - which is also great! But a different take - and I think it would make an excellent addition to RPs library!

I was fortunate enough to catch Jorma Kaukonen live in a local night club in the 90's . He played this and many other amazing tunes... it was an unforgettable show. Just him with a guitar, no backup at all. The whole place was mesmerized.

Jormaaaaa!  Kaukonen composed the tune 54 years ago in 1962 at the age of 21 as part of a guitar workshop in Santa Clara and included it on Surrealistic Pillow at the band's behest. Time flies, eh? https://jormakaukonen.com/cracksinthefinish/  and  https://jormakaukonen.com/tour.php

This, "Breathless" by Todd Rundgren, "Cast You Fates to the WInd", by Vince Guaraldi and "Borne on the Solar Wind" by Jade Warrior, where wonderful endings to various WNEW DJs sets.  WNEW, NY introduced me to the world of music.  I am forever grateful.

As an side, a student I worked with in Graduate school used to talk about her Uncle Scott the DJ.  I took me a year to realize she meant Scott Muni.  Cool!!!

Sorry, Cynaera, unless 'chauvinism' is prefixed with 'male' then it is a reference to extreme nationalism and nothing to do with sexism.

If I wanted to be critical, I'd mention that you misspelled "condescending."  And I can't be "chauvinistic" because I'm female. What I meant by my comment was that this particular work was misplaced in its time - it wasn't as widely accepted in the mainstream then as it is now, in the age of acoustic instrumentals.  People are ALWAYS cool. Sometimes, they take a little longer to wake up, but I meant no disrespect to Jorma, or the Airplane. I was merely pointing out that this song was exceptionally brilliant in a time when acoustic rock was not being played regularly on the radio.

BTW - "ahead of its time" means exactly that. This song fits perfectly in 2011. It was a novelty when it first came out, and people (myself included) didn't understand it, and tended to disregard it as a "fluke." It found its true place in the future. Which only makes me love Airplane more, here in this 2011 future.

It may have been Paul Kantner's band but the really sucky songs are Balin songs.  If you go back through the old Rolling Stones, Marty gets a fair bit of the press.  I think he had a lot of influence in turning the group to pop.

Wouldn't mind hearing more Blows Against the Empire, though.

That may be what you infer from the comments, but I don't think that's what the original post implied (writers "imply", readers "infer").  There is no inference that people back then "were not cool".  Calling an artist "ahead of his time" would imply (to me) that they had done or addressed things which most other artists would not do or address until some later time.  It does not imply that works from one era are superior or inferior to those of another era.  The expression is carelessly over-used and really only describes a handful of people in the history of humankind.  One recent example I could think of would be Lenny Bruce: his subject matter and style were not widely explored or employed by many other comedians until well after his death.  That doesn't imply that Comedy from his era was inferior to that from later eras. 
Anyhow, the guitar work on this song - though very adept and tasty - does not seem ahead of its time to me.  People have been playing guitars and other stringed instruments like that long before Jefferson Airplane.

I like this piece. Jorma's playing reminds me of John Fahey or Leo Kottke. However, my ears would be perfectly happy to be spared listening to "White Rabbit" and "Somebody to Love" again and again. My older sisters exposed me to lots of amazing music from the late 60s. The Airplane, however, were so far behind their most of the peers. Get out of the wayback machine, Boomers. Not everything you did deserves a trophy.
