I’d heard of the Vault but couldn’t get to a computer for a
few days. All I could think was please give us some Jefferson airplane, oh
please, oh please. I’m not disappointed. I now hunger for more.
Back in my 60’s youth there was a Dead/JA debate on par with
the Beatles/Stones. Love the Dead but the Airplane was my band. Saw Starship in
1975 and the reunion but never got to see them in the day and never came across
any bootlegs so I was living off of Bless Its Pointed Little Head until the
boxed set and Fillmore East. I’m so grateful for all these Vault recordings.
And I’m excited to hear the November 69 stuff RCA will release in 2007 (as per
the Official JA site.)
The later day Starship has acted as a deterrent to the youth
of today understanding JA’s place in the history of rock. They were two
different bands as far as I’m concerned and should be treated as such and taken
on its own considerable merits.
Thank you Vaultkateers. More please.
