THIRTY SECONDS OVER WINTERLAND

Jefferson Airplane, live in 1973. This album is an explosion of power and musicianship and one of the best live albums i´ve ever listened to. The songs, well known for any JA fan, are played in a quite diferent way than the studio versions. I speacialy like the opening-track, Have you seen the saucers, which sounds quite dark and, in my opinion, is very close to Krautrock, always makes me think of Amon Düll II. A short (only 4:12) and very rich song. Not any kind of Prog present in the whole album, though. Another excelent track is Milk train, where Grace Slick is absolutly on fire and features very nice and funky violin from the late Papa John Creach. The electric guitar from Kaukonen is very present and dominant through the album, where he shows all his virtuality, always in chalenging way ( except maybe on Feel so good, which is excessively long and, together with Trial by fire are the weak points in the album, but still quite enjoyable songs). All the other tracks are full power and musicianship. Essencial for any fast acid-rock fan, and for anyone into 70´s music.
