The first disc features the program "Go Ride The Music", featuring two giants of the era performing live in concert. Jefferson Airplane perform at an intimate indoor venue while Quicksilver Messenger Service are filmed in the open air. There are also cameo appearances from David Crosby and Jerry Garcia. The second disc, "West Pole" features a diverse range of acts including Ace Of Cups, Sons Of Champlin, the Grateful Dead and the Steve Miller Band performing live in various settings and takes a more analytical view of the music and the times.

But the film I was most interested in from this package is "West Pole," originally released in 1968 on the San Francisco public TV station KQED, narrated by co-producer Ralph J. Gleason and featuring music videos (they weren't called that yet, but that's basically what they were) by the Airplane, Quicksilver, the Grateful Dead and Steve Miller Band, and in-studio performances by the Sons of Champlin (an exciting jazz-rock band that shortly thereafter won a major record contract with Capitol) and the Ace of Cups, a remarkable all-woman band who tragically were never given the chance to make a studio record in their prime. The Ace of Cups' final song, which for years I assumed was called "Listen to Your Children" but whose "official" title is "Gospel Song," haunted me for 50 years and I was grateful for this DVD release to see and hear it again. "Go Ride the Music" features (with only one exception -- drummer Joey Covington replaced Spencer Dryden) the best-ever lineup of the Jefferson Airplane, including three songs from their "Volunteers" album ("We Can Be Together," "Volunteers" and "Wooden Ships," better known from the Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young version but actually a co-composition of Stills, Young and the Airplane's Paul Kantner) and a faster, more soulful version of "Plastic Fantastic Lover" than the one Kantner recorded on the Airplane's "Surrealistic Pillow" album and the B-side of the "White Rabbit" single. Alas, this is NOT the best edition of Quicksilver Messenger Service; this was shot after singer Dino Valenti joined the band and the group is too much Dino and his back-up boys rather than the fascinating ensemble led by guitarist John Cipollina that made their first two albums -- and much of the movie is overdirected by Gleason's producing partner Robert Zagone. "Go Ride the Music" is an important, if flawed, performance document but "West Pole" is really a slice of musical history and deserves to be better known. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sunrise, surprise, civilised man, You were keeper to me, your animal is free *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 18, 2008* There were a number of reasons why I sought out this DVD. Firstly to have another record of performances by Bay area bands thatI have listened to for years. Secondly as a bit of a historical record of a time when a different set of rules applied, a sort of revolutionary era, which has since been reversed.As a musical journal, the version of the Airplane has different characteristics to what is considered by many as the classic lineup. Perhaps this may offend the sensibilities of the purists but things, and people, change. By the time of this recording, the Airplane's evolution was moving forward and would metamorphose again within a few years.I was very disappointed personally with the clips of Quicksilver and in particular with the focus on Dino Valente while John Cipollina was virtually invisible. Gary Duncan and David Friedberg got a reasonable share of the filming and it is rather cruel irony that Valente's version of the band would persist while Cipollina went on to attain virtuoso status. Again, it is an historical footnote to one of the best, but unluckiest, bands of the era.The second disc is rescued from mediocrity by the musical interludes of Dead, Airplane and QMS. It is a more historical semi-autobiographical documentary conducted by Ralph Gleason who distracts the viewer by his constant downward glances at his script. I am disinclined to crticise the attempts of Ace of Cups to make their mark in the company of even the Steve Miller band but they made a contribution to the scene as a whole and disappeared alongside hundreds of others.All in all, not the best collection of Bay Area music, but a reasonable addition to a growing collection. Something to share with our children and our children's children, if they do not laugh too much at our antics.As a sidenote, I have just learned of a Cheech and Chong reunion tour. Well I can tell you, Dave's not here. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Airplane At Their Height of Power *by R***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 1, 2008* It's nice to have the Airplane in its entirety, along with QMS, with a clean, clear picture. Although it's not my favorite Airplane performance, it's a fascinating look at when they were at the height of their power, as a band and individually. Each member holds a commanding presence, self-assured and comfortable of their role and collective sound. Marty and Jorma, in particular, are full of testosterone here, like a good rock star should be. Joey adds the new dynamic, the new energy, the power "rock" drummer who is now the focal point for the band, that Grace, Marty and particularly Jorma encircle around, feed off and respond to. Paul and Jack are on either side in the background, but one can't deny how crucial they are to the overall sound. Sound quality itself is still so-so. I can detect no difference in the extrapolated stereo to the mono. Still it's much superior to the horrid UATWMF vinyl that came out later. My only real complaint on this video is why they left out Eskimo Blue Day, which is on the vinyl record. Could it be because, since this was slated for TV, the FCC would not have allowed for a repeated profanity but OK'd the slightly discernible one in WCBT? Lastly, only Marty could have sung the chorus to the Delfonics 'La La Means I Love You' at the beginning and refrain of a counter-culture anthem like Wooden Ships and made it work. But that was the Airplane then, wildly diverse and creative as we all know and love them. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/24780251-go-ride-the-music-and-west-pole](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/24780251-go-ride-the-music-and-west-pole) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
