On Sunday, Grace Potter — Godchaux’s heiress as the lone, legitimate female sex symbol on the jam band circuit — switched effortlessly between organ and a Flying V guitar to deliver a sexy, soulful set that featured Jefferson Airplane’s “White Rabbit.” The 26-year-old Vermonter left her backing band, the Nocturnals, behind for transcendent, a cappella version of “Nothing But the Water” before they returned to the stage for a full-on blues-rock epilogue.
Not the cover, but the inside.

Just saw Rolling Stone’s tweet and knew you’d have it “re-tweet ready” … love that they got their own paragraph !
RS may not be what it once was but still wouldn’t mind seeing that cover

Really great comment from RS. Are those two photos from the vibes? Very nice! Love Cat’s hair. They are all looking good….
It was a great hot smokey afternoon and evening of music. Smelly too – but hey – mud, hay and other weedy things are all organic and the stuff of a great festy – right? Blues and Lasers smoked the Green Tent pretty good early in the day – I had an absolute blast all day long and was glad to have been there!!
Linda – I’ve got that cover of White Rabbit for you coming right up! processing now . . . .
Cat was pretty funny NolaMar – you commented on her hair- it did look good for a hard working bass player on a hot stage – at one point she grabbed the mike and put her arm up in the air and announced to everyone – I Smell! Everyone and everthing did smell – but the sights and sounds were awesome!
nice article -altho I have to strongly disagree about the “Godchaux’s heiress as the lone, legitimate female sex symbol on the jam band circuit ” portion.
After going to decades of dead shows (been there, done that, got the hundreds of t-shirts) – Donna can’t, and never could – hold a candle to Grace’s voice, or presence. Donna was never a “sex symbol” ala Grace Slick or others. horrible comparison – I know they were trying to tie the music and history together – but just SO incorrect – I had to comment.
Donna is a sweetheart of a person, she still sings well, and the singing w/Bobby is cool and nostalgic – but she can’t sing and play like Grace Potter does.
just my 2 pesos.
seems like Grace has been 26 for a couple years now!
Really, JS ?
I only got involved in Feb of 2008 so maybe last year is clearer for me . . but thought I remembered GPN opened for Dave Matthews on her 25th birthday (sort of a neat present yes ?) so searched KC’s archives.
