I was surprised to read that Jefferson Starship was originally Paul Kantner's side project, if I remember correctly. It wasn't originally meant to replace Jefferson Airplane, but eventually it did. I don't remember the details, but at some point, Jefferson Airplane reemerged independently of Starship. Signe Anderson was one of the musicians who returned.
Actually the "Jefferson Starship" that played on Blows Against the Empire bore no resemblance to the one that was formed in 1974. Originally the Dragon Fly album was going to be credited to just Paul and Grace but it was decided to credit it to Paul, Grace and Jefferson Starship, which was composed of most of the musicians who joined the pair on tour in 1973 when it became apparent that Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady were making Hot Tuna a priority. That album also featured a guest appearance by Marty Balin, who hadn't recorded with Paul and Grace since 1970, on the song Caroline.

Didn't know what year this show was from until Paul stuck 1983 into the lyrics. This was near the end of his run in the band -- nice to see they still played one of his signature songs live. RIP.
@@MisterMikeTexashe was there into the early 80’s and I don’t remember seeing the date for this performance. But Paul is paramount to their sound. Paul and Grace together is fucking heavenly.
@@PHDWhom It got real poppy after Kantner left. Including "We Built This City" and "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us". But I like both those songs also. Mickey Thomas is a good singer, though I'm sure many have cursed him for the band's moving more toward arena rock and pop.
Several years ago I saw Jefferson Starship in Point Park, Pittsburgh, PA. In some ways the show was great, but sadly, in some ways it sucked. I don't know who was in charge of sound, or what they were drinking, but there was a terrible buzz on the PA through most of the set. Paul played guitar well, but his vocal chords sounded pretty damaged. On break, I saw him smoking a cigarette. If I remember correctly, didn't he die of lung or throat cancer shortly thereafter? Sad. 💔
Grace Jett entering her Maude Golden Girl phase while Paul was looking like an accountant with a bandanna, glasses, and guitar like this is his weekend wedding and bah mitzvah band😂🤣🤷🏼♂️
He was too flashy and these 3 resented him. He got buried notice vid ...With those looks licks and perfection fretboardist how the hell he didnt make it to the top.

"Ride The Tiger" is power rock at its peak. Craig Chaquico's wizardry on the fretboard, and Starship Captain Paul Kantner & Band keep it rolling.
I love this concert. I bet 1983 was a blast since I wasn’t born yet.
The remnants of Jefferson Airplane in their last gasp of greatness.

This band will go down in history as one of the greatest of all time! Chuck's Law
Hardly a last grasp.
Well the 1989 reunion of the original or actually the second lineup minus Spencer Dryden was pretty good,and Paul's 90s lineup had it's moments.
they opened up a free concert in GG Park 1975 with this song. wow...
Damn! That would have been something to see. I didn’t make it there until 1990.
The same awesome guitarist , the lead, is the one that played on the original, I believe, hell yeah, he's playing here
Craig Chaquico. Dude is way underrated.

Craig Chacito 👍
I like the live band. This reminds me of a hot summer where we drove hay around in a truck.
Cet album est excellent !
I like Craig doing a dance rift! I was a kid when this song came out. It reminded me of a cuddly soft teddy bear
I was just singing this song in my head! Love I can pull up the live version.
I'm so on it... riding the tiger!

❤ this song. Glad to see & hear a good concert rendition.
One of Jefferson Starships best songs, and Paul Kantners, too
Paul's voice always added another dimension to Airplane/Starship's music.
Crazy epic song
Saw them at the Elliot Hall of Music Purdue. Great show. Missed Papa John though. His fiddle really SANG on this album…..
Grace Slick, wow
Solo is so fast it becomes water 😮
Обожаю эту группу!!!❤
Maravilhosa demais ouvir. 0:58

Paul Kantner shown on this one
This must have been just before he left.

The audience is totally lame. I’d have loved to see this concert !
