Jefferson Airplane created the sounds of a generation. Their smash hits "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit" provided the soundtrack to the Summer of Love, virtually inventing the era's signature pulsating psychedelic music and personifying the decade's radical counterculture.

5 out of 5 stars Weep for a lost dreamworld!.......2007-04-20

Let's face it - we are never going to hear a sonically perfect version of this legendary recording. But this latest package is the best I have heard and is certainly clearer in sound than the Thunderbolt release (welcome as that was) from the early 90's. The concert is pitched between the Airplane's two most innovative albums 'Pillow' and 'Baxters' and features a band that was youthful, hungry and at a creative peak. 'Today' with its one off harpsichord-like arrangement, is especially haunting. RCA are continually releasing a seemingly endless series of recordings from the Fillmore East. These have merits of their own but to my ears at least, Jefferson Airplane were never as other worldly as they were at Monterey. Buy this album - and weep for a lost dreamworld!

3 out of 5 stars Yet another re-issue of the same music.......2007-03-14

This music has been released several times under many different titles. It is about 36 minutes long and the sound quality fair to poor. It is better than most of the other performances by other groups released from the Monetery Pop Festival. It was recorded for a TV show and was never meant to be a high fidelity recording.

This set is also on the Monterey Pop Festival boxset.

The peformance is fairly good, but not the best of live Jefferson Airplane. With the mediocre sound quality, I would suggest getting many of the other live albums (except Miracle Live) before getting this one.

5 out of 5 stars IDENTICAL to earlier release.......2007-01-29

Despite a reviewer's claim that this release has superior sound quality to the 1995 U.K. label Magnum release, to my ears they're identical. If you have the earlier release, you gain nothing by buying this. Great music, but don't buy this if you have the earlier release.

4 out of 5 stars When they were good, they were very good........2007-01-29

Out of the dozens of shows I saw in the 60's and 70's, Jefferson Airplane was one of the best. Unfortuantely they were also one of the worst. This Monterey Festival set sounds like one of the best. Very nice sound quality. And although the order of songs is screwed up, I am really glad they left in some of the mistakes like eq'ing the microphones with rumbles and all. A couple of times the band appeared to be lost but Jack Cassady just kept going strong until the others caught up. "Ballad of You and Me and Pooneil" gives us a glimpse of where the band was heading. History has proved this a very important performance for the bands that were there-same for the Airplane. The four page booklet gives a general history of the band by Alfie Falckenbach (Records Collector) and a much shorter history of the Festival itself. Both are helpful.

3 out of 5 stars Change track order to real performance order and bring back stage banter!.......2007-01-21

Audio quality is very good, however track orders are switched for this edition which causes some confusion when listening. For example the electric piano in "Today" can be heard before some tracks as Grace is preparing to play it, but then "White Rabbit" starts playing. If the tracks were left in the order they were played, this would be a stronger release. There are no fades either, which sounds quite choppy at times. I also dislike how they edited down the introduction group where Grace laughs, chosing to barrel into "Somebody to Love" instead. Until then, most of the material can be found on the Monterey International Pop Festival Boxed Set. Still, "The Ballad of You, and Me, and Pooneil" stands out as whats to come with After Bathing at Baxters later in the year.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing.......2007-01-09

I had this album when I was in college and played it so much that it wore out. It has been a long time since I have heard Judy Henske but she did not disappoint. Her voice was as clear and strong as I remember from those many years ago.

5 out of 5 stars A longer half-life than plutonium.......2006-06-07

This CD contains "Duncan and Brady," the first Judy Henske tune I ever heard. At the time, thirty-some years ago, I was sitting on a porch in the middle of Africa, and it nearly knocked me off. "God almighty, who is that?" I squawked, and my hostess serenely replied "Judy Henske. Don't you know about her?" No, I didn't, but I've made up for it since, by grabbing every Henske recording I could get my hands on. Miraculously, unlike much of the music of those bygone days, Henske's can still leave me as breathless now as it did then. Oh sure, the title cut "High Flying Bird" is everyone's favorite Henske folk classic, but give a listen to the sauntering "Blues Chase Up a Rabbit" or Henske's sultry reading of Hoagy Carmichael's "Baltimore Oriole" if you want to know what singing is really all about. Me, I'll listen to the whole CD a couple times through, and then go back for one more last shot of "Duncan and Brady" (a song about a murder in a saloon, sentimental old me). Listen to this CD once and you too will be a Henske addict for life.

3 out of 5 stars Judy is GREAT...But Recording is Distorted.......2006-04-25

It is wonderful to again hear these almost-forgotten Blues/Folk tunes from the early days of Electra Records. Judy is quite a performer! BUT, I hear quite a bit of distortion on this CD. Perhaps I got a bad one, or perhaps this due to the age of the tapes that were used for the transfer to digital. Other CD re-releases by Collectors' Choice Music have been quite good. (see my other reviews)

5 out of 5 stars The Real Thing.......2003-03-31

Judy's music opened up a part of my soul when I first heard it forty years ago, and rehearing it still sends the goosebumps up and down my spine. Judy's music is powerful, it's raw, it's full and deep... and best of all, there's humor in it. At 17, I went out and bought a kazoo straight away.

In retrospect, I'm not sure why it's categorized as "folk" music, except that it was the music that moved us at the same time as Baez, Dylan and Fred Neil and she played in coffee houses. To me, it's just great dirty blues.

5 out of 5 stars Magic Judy Judy Judy.......2002-07-11

We've gone from a famine to a feast in terms of Judy Henske's back catalog. The import double album, containing Judy's two early 60s Elektra albums, was released a bit earlier than the Collector's Choice editions. That's a very attractive package, but for anyone who wants to start more modestly, this re-release of Judy's second album may be the place to begin. It's a bit less raucous than the eponymous first album, which is to say that it lacks the zany spoken intros of that record. It is also a bit sparer musically, a bit more characterisically folky.

I have known one or two people in fact, who were a little put off by the intros on the "Judy Henske" album. They were music purists and maybe a little humor impaired--but we need those folks in the world too. And they do have a point, the music DOES come first. "High Flying Bird" is the best available introduction to Judy Henske's MUSIC currently available. Of all the several recorded versions of the title song, none can compare to Judy's soulful interpretation. And that's just for openers. Judy Henske is one of those rare performers who can go from the ribald to the ethereal with ease, often within a single song. From the surreal lullabye "Buckeye Jim" to the barrelhouse sensibility of "Oh, You Engineer," she doesn't falter once on this classic album.

Once you've sampled HFB, you'll be almost certainly want to check out "Judy Henske" and the recent comeback album "Loose In the World." And there's more good news, Judy and her husband, keyboardist and producer extraoridinaire, Craig Doerge are hard at work on a new CD, hopefully set for a 2002 release date. Check her website (judyhenske.com, natch) for further updates. It's great to have this legendary performer back on the scene. And it's even better that her seminal early work is now available in CD format.

    5 out of 5 stars "High Flying Bird" is "Loose in the World".......2002-04-05

    The release of this "two-fer" is a cause for celebration for Judy Henske fans everywhere. Visitors to Judy's fan site know how long fans have been campaigning to get these two classic albums on CD. Now at last, this British import has been made available, which while not as likely to get the promotion a domestic release might receive, certainly is preferable to the previous miserable state of affairs.

    Judy Henske is an enormous talent and has always been a marketer's nightmare. She was eclectic to the point of being virtually unclassifiable in the early 60s folk boom. Unlike Joan Baez and Judy Collins and so many other women of the era, she sang with barrelhouse gusto and passion. Sure Collins or Baez might do the occasional gospel number, but always with a kind of stately reserve. Henske was much rootsier, attacking Bessie Smith numbers before Janis Joplin was out of high school and covering Billie Holiday tunes while Diana Ross was still cooing "Baby Love." And there are wags out there who insist that Bette Midler did nothing but steal Judy's act.

    You'll never see Judy's releases in the blues section though (if you're lucky enough to find them in a record shop at all). She would follow up a blues standard with an olde Englishe murder ballad like "Love Henry" or a modern American folk-rock classic like "High Flying Bird." She was, as Dave Marsh has written, "beyond all categories except 'legendary' and 'great' "--a marketing problem as severe in the early 60s as it is today. She might have been better suited for the more eclectic and experimental later 60s, but by then, she was somewhat marginalized (although still recording--and making wonderful records--both as a solo act and with then-husband Jerry Yester).

    But the two early Elektra albums have a special place in the hearts of Henske fanatics. "Judy Henske" is a splashy debut, replete with comedy monologues and with sassy horn arrangements. "High Flying Bird" is more classically folky with sparer instrumental backing and a less raucous atmosphere. Together they make for a superb introduction to a major talent of the era (well, of any era really). It may surprise you that someone so abundantly talented never got the recogniton she deserved...but hey, she's still alive and kicking and it's not too late. Check her out now!

    If you sample this release and love it, be sure to get a hold of her recent comeback CD, "Loose In the World." I'm not sure if Judy's getting much in terms of royalties from the re-issues, but the independently released "Loose..." is all her baby and also deserves your attention and support.

    5 out of 5 stars Henske at her best.......2002-03-01

    This is the one of her albums that I would consider essential. The title cut alone is worth the price. I've had a copy of this record on hand for about 38 years - the last one bought by auction in order to have it again. I think the import price is a bargain.
    If you're not familiar with Judy Henske, you've missed out. Don't pass into the great unknown without hearing her -- especially "High Flyin' Bird" = the album and the song. Her version of 3:10 to Yuma is equally amazing.

    5 out of 5 stars The Super Voice is back!.......2002-02-26

    Judy Henske, a small farmer's daughter (only 6'4") who fled from her southern Wisconsin youth, not only was one of the great legends of the 60s folk revival but simply is one of the greatest voices ever downside of the operatic stage. In one way, she was and is everything Janis Joplin would have become. In another, she's everything that Maria Muldaur is trying to be. And in still one more aspect, she does everything fort the blues, folk, cabaret and Moritat songs that Kirsten Flagstad or Birgit Nilsson did for Wagner's Brünnhilde. First and foremost, she's an original, a genuine rarity in any kind of music. Her singing flows from many legacies and still it is all her own, regardless of whether it began with Hoagy Carmichael, Bessie Smith or an unknown songwriter of a century past. This double CD re-release from 1963 and 1964 is simply not to be missed!

    5 out of 5 stars Magic is real........2001-12-20

    If you're a reader of Andrew Vachss' novels then you're familiar with 'Magic Judy' as he calls her.
    And for very good reason!
    If, like me, you like to feel your heart soar, your spine tingle, your cheeks hurt from hard laughing, goosebumps on your body, and a deep feeling of joy and a banishing of the blues then get and listen to this music.
    She is truly all that and more.

    5 out of 5 stars What took them so long???.......2001-11-02

    I have loved Judy Henske and her music since I first heard her in the 60's. A friend played her album JUDY HENSKE for me and I was blown away. I had never heard a singer before that literally gave me chill bumps, but Judy did and I have been a fan ever since. These two albums are my favorites - they are what sold many people on Judy Henske and caused them to remain fans over the past thirty plus years. We have long awaited the re-release of these albums on CD - we begged and pleaded for someone to bring us Judy's music from the 60's on a CD and finally someone heard us. Andrew Vachss (the writer) in every one of his Burke novels refers to Judy Henske and calls her "Magic Judy". She is indeed magic. Her voice is like no other - deep, powerful, haunting. She is definitely one of a kind and I can guarantee that if you listen to her once, you will be hooked. I ordered two CD's - one for now and one to put in a safe place for the future. I don't ever want to be without Judy's music.
