imho,the airplane and the starship are two differant bands, Ja with Jorma and Jack had almost no equal, along with Paul , Marty, Grace, and Spencer Dryden(may he rest in peace)created the soundtrack for a time and space..The early incarnation of  Starship had its moments. but never came close to matching the airplanes magic... dragonfly is a solid album (ride the tiger) and through the red octupus album there are some gems . but by 78 or so the starship crashed..once mickey thomas and company pushed paul and grace to the side  it was over..the JA reunion tour was fun the highlight was the mini tuna sets with Grace and paul joining in.. I was puzzeld at the time that another guitar player was in the band..We later got an explanation from the capt. and so it goes  thank you JA
