it wasn't an official JS release. The band was all there.
Check out the song Hyperdrive for some great proggy stuff, I love the

Yeah, I really need to get Dragonfly, and I've heard "Hyperdrive,"
great song. "Awakening" is another great proggy track off of Freedom at
Point Zero.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

I prefer the Jefferson Starship abums. I have these:
The first REAL JEFFERSON STARSHIP album, very very good (biggest JS hit here, "Miracles," wonderful song)
My first JS album, very underrated
A compilation of their greatest hits with a new track. Shortens "Miracles"
.....kicked Grace outta the band for this one, enter Aynsley Dunbar,
hugely underrated drummer!!! By the way, is it just me, or does Mickey
Thomas sound very similar to Grace???? Also, this albums a little
proggy if you ask me
Grace returned on Modern Times, which I've yet to hear. I just got this
album, great stuff, but not as great as previous releases.
I like this one better than Winds of Change, but again, it doesn't
stand up. Note the Peter Gabriel reference!!! Seems almost to be
some sort of concept album.....
By the way, has anyone heard this:
Really good, pre-JS stuff with an all-star lineup. JA and JS fans will probably both enjoy this
I love Grace, but kinda lost respect for her when I saw her in an
interview on CNN where she claimed Eminem was one of her favorite
arists of today . Oh well, still gotta love the music. I hope to have a complete JS and maybe even JA collection eventually.
But seriously, who wants this?

I saw that same photo session where she gives the finger and it was funny.
of course some thirty years ofd drug and rock abuse , will destroy any living organism and render a rather aged look!

Somewhat worryingly I totally agree with Stebo32, Grace Slick is fantastic.

We Built This City on Rock and Roll...
But then, "Jane" and "Girl With The Hungry Eyes" on "Freedom at Point Zero" were damned good songs!
Is anyone else familiar with Grace's amazing songwriting (and singing, of course) with "The Great Society" (pre Jefferson Airplane)?

JEFFERSON AIRPLANE is my all-time favourite band. What a shame they had to go on to become JEFFERSON STARSHIP and then STARSHIP.

Jefferson Airplane is my top ten (maybe even top 5) most important rock group and formany things , they were even ahead of the Beatles. Certainly the most important US group in my mind;
But JEff Airplane 5*, Jeff Starship 2,5 * and the awful Starship 0*
CASADY is the top in bass playing: rewrote the book with Entwistle and Jack Bruce
Superbly interesting book about them called Got A Revolution? written by jeff Tamarkin
Yes Slick was a fairly easy lay. She was very promiscuous: she slept with Casady to thank him for the JA singer job, then she was in a liaison with Spencer Dryden for three yearts, she had bouts of sleepîng with Kaukkonen and then had a kid with Kantner.
Only Balin never shagged her!
Her real maiden name is Grace Wing , and thanks to that she got invited to the White house for a bithrday reception of Nixon's daughter who had been to classmates in high school. She went dressed very RNR to that reception but got ejected very quick!!! Wonder why????
