row_33 Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 great use of this track on the FX Trust series about the Gettys...

row_33 Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 ——— white rabbit is one of very few songs where the vocals don’t stop after they begin
T&C Posted November 2, 2019 Author Posted November 2, 2019 The weren't that bad live, on a rooftop... the Beatles inspiration perhaps:
row_33 Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 If you are old enough, is this really a band in your top 10 for listening and purchasing of product?

For me it would be in the top 30 of bands people have at least heard of. No need to buy any of it, have it all... even a mono copy of Baxters.

bbb Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 I saw Starship at the Erie Co. Fair in 1988. It was the weirdest concert ever because everybody was sitting on their hands when there was still sunshine and by the end everybody was going crazy and people were dancing in the space between the first row of folding chairs and the stage.....................Throughout the concert, there were shouts of Where's Grace?!?

I've tried listening to their albums, good songs just aren't there, only a handful to be found, plus worst of all, they are boring af. JMO. They play a part though in one of my all-time top 10 movies, Gimme Shelter, so there's always that.

Also, I'm not a fan of the male/female dual vocals at all, just not very good to my ears. Off the top of my head, I would say even X with John Doe and Exene blows them away. White Rabbit is killer though.

It’s a tent venue that holds about 200. Just Jorma and Jack. No opening act. Jack announced about bout halfway through their show that, “we’ve been playing together now for 60 years.” They started out playing in high school. Of course “Water Song” was their encore. 3 1

Rico Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 3 minutes ago, T&C said: Which albums have you listened to? Let me look at All Music Guide, it's been many years... Surrealistic Pillow & Volunteers several times, Baxters, CoC, and Bless a couple times, I bought those and Worst Of new, but not day 1 lol. Bark & LJS I got used vinyl copies when I was working part-time in a record store, but I think I dumped them before ever playing. 30 Seconds was always in the cut-out bins, but I never bought it.
row_33 Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 we listened to everything they released until it was getting really really sad.... which was a few into the JS Era. my frosh year in residence suffered hearing We Built This City a few hundred times the real talent went to Hot Tuna
