RARE - Jefferson Starship - Count on Me - Live Rehearsal Version (1978)

- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- The original members of Jefferson Starship during a Live rehearsal for their then-upcoming album, Earth, at the Seacliff, San Francisco, home of Paul Kantner and Grace Slick in 1978 (which, by the way, was the final album of this line-up). Note the signature guitar solo of Craig Chaquico that has more of an English-style ending than what was ultimately heard on the recording. This is because, at the time, Craig's early influences were not only the American guitarists that his bandmate Pete Sears had already played and recorded with, such as John Cipollina and Jimi Hendrix, but those that shared Pete's British heritage like artists Rod Stuart and Jeff Beck.
Marty’s voice tears me up every time. Beautiful
Me too ❤😢❤😢
Marty’s voice was so sweet and warm. The most beautiful song by Jefferson Starship.
AGREE 100 %
You're not wrong there , Agnes, there.
I've never heard a more soothing voice
❤❤❤❤❤❤@@2990rick
Absolutely beautiful. Marty had the most magnificent singing voice. It saddens me to know he's no longer with us. RIP Marty.
Yes he did
He did-so distinctive
I finally got to see Marty in New Orleans in tge 90s. A treat!!
Loved this song in 1978 love it even more in 2023 😢
Not just the voice but as a songwriter, the music was heavenly, what a high, listening to this!
Back then 1978, was 18 yrs. old and loved this song .......... love it even more now .
I was 16 & still love it!
I was 18 too we lived through the best music ever made.
Imagine, all natural voices, no brainless auto tune that todays so called artists rely on.
To be fair, these folks used whatever technical shmear du jour was available for each album as they tried to keep getting songs on the radio. That's why this 'unplugged' vid is so refreshing.
The point is, these folks had to have actual TALENT to get anywhere. Today's so-called artists have techno tools to cover for their lack of vocal chops.
I love how this video showcases just his natural voice. He had one of the best voices and was also a great songwriter.
Starship got real lovey dovey in the 70s
@@bigpaulie806 almost all rock bands had love songs. It's called diversity. Today the only love songs are sung by children who were on Barney and former Disney stars who grew up in studios and need no talent they just do voice overs. Aerosmith did a few love songs even Ozzy Osbourne came close to a love song LOL. I don't know about lovey dovey but this song is Kick-Ass
The so-called pop music of today cannot even come close to the artistic beauty and talent of the music in the 60s and 70s.
How refreshing and pleasant to see professionals singing who are smiling and enjoying themselves. Today we have 'musicians' singing as if they are angry and constipated. Who wants to look at that?
Stunning that Grace might outlive everyone else.
What’s even more stunning is that the coyotes haven’t eaten you yet
She and Keith Richards.
😂
Marty's voice really touches my heart. So warm and pure.
Beautiful smiles, Marty. Angelic voice. Unequaled singing/songwriting. We miss you. RIP - hope you finally got to "exist on the stars"; see you there someday. 💖💖💖
Grace is unbelievably 84 now. I was 6 when this came out but remember it on the radio and although had no comprehension of the lyrics the music was and still is magical. RIP Marty.
So beautiful...rest in peace, Marty and Paul.
Marty had such a beautiful voice, and working with Grace, what a knockout pair. I wish they had recorded more songs. I could listen to them 24 hours a day. Thank you Marty and grace
Grace 1 of the best female singers of our BOOMER generation. As well she was a model, very attractive, sultry & sedductive lady. Her sarcastic humour and attitude, her 'wide- eyes-expressions, all Grace. so sad she has not aged well. She needs the LORD for her salvation (John 3.3, 33-34-

I agree 1000%!
@@g2rc Good for you, g2rc, keep spreading the Gospel. We must be BORN AGAIN to be in the kingdom of God, says Jesus!
@@pmcclaren1 Again AMEN!
Thank you for the encouragement! As long as God gives me the opportunity I will be His mouthpiece and proclaim the gospel. Very interesting times we live in! Our time left here on this earth is VERY short!
I have just prayed God's blessings upon you, your family, your friends and neighbors!!
@@g2rc Right back to you. And . . . the time is very short. Hearing that glorious trumpet is going to be without words to describe; finally home, here just passing through!
One of the greatest song ever recorded in the industry. Thank you Marty, R.I.P.🎶♥️🎵
One could only imagine what it would have been like to be sitting in that living room with such great talent!
So long, Marty. You were much loved.
I believe this was Marty's swan song for the Jefferson Starship. He left on a high note.
Wow even in rehearsal Marty's voice was swoon worthy ❤ 🤍 💙 🧡 ♥️
R.I.P. Marty Balin. A beautiful song. Thanks so much for posting.
When I read about Martys death in a entertainment newspaper, I cried openly in public in the store.
what a voice
RIP
When Marty sings... u believe every word..
😔😢
Marty you will be missed. Songs that affected my entire life. Always wanted to see him. RIP SEPT 2018
Even improvised Marty Balin 's voice is superb!!
What a voice! Marty was truly underrated as a singer.
A beautiful song. One of the best of all times.
Love this great hit! A frequent fave on FM stations that spring/summer of '78!
RIP Marty, thanks for the great music.
I really enjoyed this clip. Thank you! Rest in Peace Marty and Paul.
Good Lord, how time flies.
A powerful song with beautiful singing. Very touching
Whew, what a pure voice. R.I.P. Marty.
The greatest incarnation of one of the greatest bands of all time. When Jefferson Starship was riding high, the world was a great place to be in.
Marty Balin, Grace Slick, Paul Kantner, Pete Sears, David Frieberg, Craig Chaquico, and John Barbata. Perfect band. Thanks for your perfect music. I wish I could go back to the 70s.
Brilliant effortless talent. I'm moved and I feel so honoured to have discovered this piece of history. Rest is peace Marty Balin. Thank you for sharing this.
How many years later in my life, I have fallen in love with their music. It's magic. Thank you !!! To think back in the later 1990's they played at my college live, I just walked by ! What a fool :-) RIP Marty. Love you all ! Blessings ..
Beautifully performed I LOVE YOU my HUSBAND and best friend I've been through hell and back since I've been missing you. I LOVE YOU and miss you so much
Marty was SOOOOOO awesome.
This is one of those timeless songs, beautifully written with Marty's incredible range. I was very fortunate to see them,(the original band) in 69'. This tune is in the key of A....Is a lot easier to handle when your younger, compared to me now having to do it in the key of G. Old Man now.
i own this album..i LOVE IT
So do I ! "Runaway" is one of my all time favorite jams Craigs sols takes me away...this groups music never failed to lift me out of my adolescent funk back in the day😃
This is absolutely beautiful
Marty had a unique voice that stood out from any male singer I ever heard , EVER!!
OMG, so beautiful. This is the best version ever. Has it really been 40 years since we first met! RIP Marty
God I feel old. I thought I recognised this and yes at the end there it was. Recorded for The Old Grey Whistle Test in 1978 and I watched that programme and remember this track burnt into my memory ever since. I believe they also did Miracles on the same programme. They supported Genesis at Knebworth that year and I was there to see them perform. What a fantastic time to be alive and into music. I remember those days with a fondness but also a sadness that they will never come back and must remain memories.
Brian Tyler : year I was born
Genesis
...my fav...but airplane is a love too.
true and I exist happily in my musical memory.
I was at Knebworth too. For Genesis really but I had the Earth album from Jefferson Starship so was looking forward to seeing them. Shame Grace Slick didn't get to the gig after "problems" in Germany the previous night. Tom Petty was there too and Devo got a load of stuff thrown at them. Not really the right band to be on that bill. Great times back then. When your dad and grandad didn't want to see the same stuff as you ...
Beautiful song. Outstanding vocal accompaniment; one of, if not their finest work. RIP Mr. Balin.
Omg I LOVE this! Those voices sound just fantastic! True talent ❤️
I love this song so much. I could listen to it all day long
Wow, just remembering the wonder of Marty’s voice.
perfection...beautiful guitar solo, perfect vocals awesome/magical
I think this is my favorite version!
Timeless memories. Thank you for sharing. RIP Paul Kantner & Marty Balin.
Fascinating and historical video!
Wow...what a treat this is to see. Made me tearfully emotional.
Great post!
Wow! How lucky i am to run across this! Priceless
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for posting. What a beautiful voice Marty had. Lucky us that we have this music!
Fantastic to see them working on this! Thanks for putting it up.
I was lucky enough to see him sole, twice, when he opened for Roger Hodgson. RIP Marty... Rest In Peace
Craig you are so truly underrated. RIP Marty... Your song lives on... Such a wonderful time to be in SF/Marin
Beautiful Song and So Positive. We've got to get back to that Positive Attitude of the 1970's!
Very nice. One hears more on this than the cleaned up final product release, although want Grace more involved. So much talent in that room. Thanks for posting. Love you, Marty..
Beautiful voice, lyrics, and music that go right to the soul.
Just the best! I'm blown away at how good the acoustic version is.
When I'm sad I listen to Marty. Everything gets better.
What a beautiful voice. Rest my friend Marty Balin!
Beautiful song
That song i used to hear a lot when i felt in love for the very first time!
R.I.P. Marty Loved this line up.
Sad this generation is void of any truly talented singers/bands, but at least they can enjoy these recordings.
Thanks for posting this great version, Mr Craig. Much appreciated!
Thank you for this video Craig. We are still clinging to the memories of how awesome a time it was to be a young adult in the 60's and 70's.Namaste
Craig Chaquico had a great start, and his music has been evolving nicely!
Pure beauty....
what a blessing Pete sears has been over the years....so many shows festivals,etc....the total session man
that was incredible!!
Thank you SO MUCH for this!! :) LOVE it! RIP Marty Balin ..... Thank you for all the beautiful and groovy music. Such an incredible voice and songwriter, he will be greatly missed!
Thanks Craig...great performance!
R.I.P. Marty Balin...We were blessed to have had your music and voice...you will be missed
That was awesome! The making of a great hit song. They make it so effortless.
Marty thanks for leaving such Beautiful Music for us to remember you by forever 🥹RIP
Craig's solos on this and other JS tunes weren't real flashy but they were just perfect for what the song needed. My favorite guitarists all play that way: George Harrison, Joey Santiago of Pixies, and Elliot Easton of The Cars. And, of course, Craig.
This is a super cool video of them rehearsing. I loved this group and still do. I'm now 62 years old. Brings back good memories. I was 20 years old when this song was a hit.
I was 11 in 1978, I remember this song and was one of my fav during that summer
Jefferson Starship Earth was the first album I ever got. And I still have it. Love this song.
This really hits home. Oh boy, another amazing singer gone. RIP Marty. Thanks for all the years of hitting those high notes.
Nobody can say that they are underrated! I have Earth in my collection! They got lots of air time and sold millions of records! No autotune, no shit? Thanks! Rock and Roll is good time music!
Along with many songs, THIS Group made helped me thru my teen years, yes!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Jefferson Starship for seeing me through. I counted on this song each day out of high school-Orlando FL
Que música maravilhosa!!!!
One of my all time favs! I love it.
Thanks for sharing.
Bless you all. Gawd you were GREAT!
cool old footage
Love this footage, great time in music!
RIP MARTY BALIN. YOU WERE TRULY AWESOME, WITH A DISTINCTIVE GREAT VOICE. YOU WERE THE ONLY REASON I PURCHASED JEFFERSON STARSHIP MUSIC. RIP TO THE GREAT MARTY BALIN. GONE TOO SOON.💕💕💕
Classic...we never see this...excellent
Thanks Craig ! This is fantastic 😥 I really miss Paul and Marty 💜 Hope your well 🎸💜🎶
wow. beautiful I had never heard it like this!! It appears effortless
Love Marty Balin. Awesome voice.
Count on me... Runaway.... With Your Love....three beautiful ballads sang by Marty and the Jefferson Starship. I loved the seventies!
Had an angel back in the early 80s in college (University of Illinois) named Denise. Ths was my song for her (along with one from the Sixties actually called Denise). Unfortunately it wasn't meant to be. Denny, wherever you are, still love you.

I saw the Jefferson Starship in the mid-70s. I’m terrible with years.
I think it might have been right after Red Octopus came out.
Craig’s solos were mind blowing.
I wish I could go back in time and see that show again.
The Family Stone Movie bought me here love this song and now I know who sings this classic.
This looks like it was filmed in a house in Marin County. Beautiful rendition, how great were the times
David is having a great time off in his own world with Grace, giggling away. HA.
Soo Many Great Tunes !! 🎼❤️‼️
