  We present data from the first of six monitoring Open Time observations of
GRS 1915+105 undertaken with the orbiting INTEGRAL satellite. The source was
clearly detected with all three X-ray and gamma-ray instruments on board. GRS
1915+105 was in a highly variable state, as demonstrated by the JEM X-2 and
ISGRI lightcurves. These and simultaneous RXTE/PCA lightcurves point to a novel
type of variability pattern in the source. In addition, we fit the combined JEM
X-2 and ISGRI spectrum between 3-300 keV with a disk blackbody + powerlaw model
leading to typical parameter values found earlier at similar luminosity levels.
A new transient, IGR J19140+098, was discovered during the present observation.
