    Re: Jefferson Airplane/Starship

    Jack C and Jack B have really different styles. Both were great, great players.  I always thought Cassady's playing is more influenced by LSD and Bruce's by speed.  I'm serious.

     

    As a frequent contributor to these forums (all of the Vault's threads) I have a confession to make -- I never saw the Airplane.  I had so many opportunities to see them too, at the Avalon, Fillmore West, Winterland, Golden Gate Park and others.  I saw Janis, Quicksilver, Steve Miller, Hendrix, The Who, the Dead, the Doors, but somehow missed the Airplane.  A friend in college convinced me that I should see them (after we listened to Bless it's Pointed Little Head on good blond Lebonese hashish), but suddenly, they were gone.  I consider this to be one of the biggest errors of my life.  That, and not seeing Led Zep at the Fillmore or Winterland.  Dang it.
