KD in CA Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 no idea who says "gee I love that song" when this comes on. As bad as it was listening to it, watching the cheapo video was actually worse http://youtu.be/ELpmmeT69cE I loved it when we saw the 90125 tour in 1984. Mine was no disgrace.
PromoTheRobot Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Anything from Styx Yowsah. And to think "rock" stations played that dreck.
ExiledInIllinois Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 They're backkkk... Jefferson Starship - Find Your Way Back: I know Jefferson Starship can grate on some... But the cheesy older stuff like: Miracles, Runaway, Count on Me (Marty Balin)... Even the above mentioned Find Your Back (Mickey Thomas, a little later into the early 80's)... I am an absolute sucker for. I know naco... But still a sucker!
Buftex Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Yowsah. And to think "rock" stations played that dreck. When I was about 12, I thought "Blue Collar Man" and "Renegade" were the great....thanfully, I grew out of that phase... they really are horrid.

Isn't 'older Jefferson Starship' a bit of an oxymoron?

ExiledInIllinois Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) Isn't 'older Jefferson Starship' a bit of an oxymoron? LoL... I guess you are right! Hey... @ least I am batting 1000! But they did make a change during their Jefferson Starship phase. It's not like change in the band only came @ name change time. ie: Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, and finally Starship. ;-) You guys are all too uppidity. Don't you have any cheese in you! I noticed they play a lot of Pat Benatar: Shadows of the Night... That's a cranking naco tune if there ever was one! And BTW, who the hell wouldn't! Especially when it comes to the "mile club" up in Midnight Angel! :-) Edited October 22, 2014 by ExiledInIllinois
rockpile Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) Isn't 'older Jefferson Starship' a bit of an oxymoron? True. When they went separate ways, the Airplane became a Starship and a Hot Tuna. For a while Hot Tuna opened for Jefferson Starship. Edited October 22, 2014 by rockpile

Ok, I'll admit it. I had the Starship greatest hits CD.

bbb Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 earned an instant "click" http://youtu.be/04KQydlJ-qc That song and video is so good it give me goosebumps. You should be kicked off the board for this post!
Best Player Available Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 True. When they went separate ways, the Airplane became a Starship and a Hot Tuna. For a while Hot Tuna opened for Jefferson Starship. Hot Tuna= awesome. Even the two man version. casady is the only bass player I ever saw live that broke 2 strings on an electric bass on consecutive tunes in one gig. if he wants he can thump it. Also, His acoustic bass playing at times was/is off the charts. As for Jorma he is simply an American legend. Long Live Hot Tuna. RIP Papa John Creach As for the Startship, well I would take the old crooner Tony Bennett over 99.99% of their dribble.
truth on hold Posted November 2, 2014 Author Posted November 2, 2014 That song and video is so good it give me goosebumps. You should be kicked off the board for this post! maybe for some nostalgic reason you may like that, but this one is just obnoxiously bad
bbb Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 I don't like that song. But, I love Centerfield and Rock N Roll Girls. He finally played in Buffalo this year, with the great line about shuffling off to Buffalo.
truth on hold Posted December 23, 2014 Author Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Bills Joel "big shot" Not once but twice today. Just to make sure everyone appreciated how sucky it was Edited December 23, 2014 by JTSP
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 The Aersosmith version of Come Together. It isn't a bad cover at all, but Aerosmith didn't do anything special with it that the Beatles didn't already do. It's like like Cocker's version of A Little Help From My Friends where he made it a completely different song. Or Tina Turner/CCRs Proud Mary. Or Dylan/Hendrix Watchtower, where they changed the whole song and they both have their own merits. Aerosmith just did a straight cover of a good song.
