Jefferson Starship Concert
Like this post? Yes | No    

Okay, time for my semi annual, or there abouts, concert report. I think I posted one here awhile ago, but I could be mistaken.
In the past year I've seen Eric Clapton and Roger Daltry together at the same time, I forgot about it but my wife reminded me. Robin Trower, very good but he was better the last time I saw him. Dave Mason, same as above, and Eric Burdon....outstanding, he just gets better with age.

So last night was my fourth time for Jefferson Airplane/Starship. Small venue, lots of old people. Kantner is the only one left from Airplane, he looked pretty good for someone that almost died from a brain tumor years ago, little hunched over, but what the heck. He had on tie dyed pants, and sat about fifty percent of the time on some kinda packing crate. Last time he sat in a chair almost the whole concert.
Freiberg was there, so that was good. The singer chick I think we saw last time, forget her name, she is better than that other chick they had after Grace, can't remember her name either. So the new chick can belt out a tune, but her voice doesn't have the clarity of Slick's, also her pants were kinda tight, don't know how she gets out of them, she looked like a water balloon.
They started with Sunrise, then that A-Deck song, Have you seen the Stars Tonight, or whatever it's called. Then something else, I can't remember what. Then that Youngblood song, Smile on Your Brother, or what ever, don't know where that came from but they played it on TV also with those high school kids, if you saw that show on HDNet or someplace, maybe Freiberg wrote it, I'll have to look it up.
Let's see what else, Jane, Believe in Magic, White Rabbit, Frieberg did a solo version of The Harp Tree with just keyboard backup. Wooden Ships, oh, and a Quicksilver song, Immm, Fresh Air.
They played about 2 hours. Kantner switched guitars for almost every song, which seemed to impress the big loudmouth idiots behind us who wouldn't stop talking.
So anyway not bad but not like seeing Grace, Pappa John, Jorma, Cassidy, and all that back when.
Oh yeah, they also did Sunfighter, which they claimed they had never played before a live audience, so that was cool.
Also I lost a lens cap to my binoculars, so let me know if you find it.

I found the lens cap in the driveway so you can stop looking for it, thanks.
