Jefferson Airplane Question

Post by valco »

There is a PBS fund raiser program that's been out for a year or more that features acts from the '60's Summer of Love' kind of stuff.
The Airplane is on and Marty's got his trusty 360-12. To my surprise the whole band, with several original members, sounded fantastic ! The best thing on the show by far. I was really impressed with the female singer. She Nailed the 'Grace Slick Thing' !
How could the band be so lucky as to find her. Who is she ?

That would be Paul Kantner who uses the 360/12.

I stand corrected. Back in the day, I was'nt the biggest Airplane fan. They rock as senior citizens. But who's the girl ? She was so good I can't beleive she is an unknown.

She's a member of "Paul Kantner and Friends", who can be seen on youtube. 45 yers old and not looking bad for it.

I recorded that show and I saw a keyboard player, but no bass guitar player.!?? Yet the bass part on "White Rabbit" sounded like the record. Was this Keyboard bass? =The singer sang great and was easy on the eyes too!

Good 'eye' kirk. Probably one of the players from the very good stage orchestra. I read they are all Pittsburg area musicians.
