Flower Children Rejoice!

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2016

I Love Jefferson Airplane/Starship! Having come along at the end of the Flower Child Generation, I can tell you that at the time This was required Listening for all Hippies and Flower Children. It captures the Trippy Atmosphere of the time. Being a Techie I Love All the Advances that have come along to make the World a Better Place, Technologically, at least. I have to admit occasionally imagining Mr Spock or Captain Kirk addressing the "Computer" for answers, when I call out "OK Google". BUT, I also Feel the Loss of Things that Our Generation were Trying To Put Forth. We saw it as a New Renaissance in Which we were all looking for New Answers to our Humanity and to our "Being Human". Outsiders thought it was all about "Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll". We saw it as a Time of looking for the "Better Nature of Our Being". We were Looking for Peace, Love And Creativity. I Listen to this album and I feel like It Gives me the Opportunity to Keep In Touch With That side of Myself. I You can Appreciate This, You can Appreciate All the Good "Lost" Things that never found a way to be Expressed OutSide that period of Time. This, At Least, Gives it a Voice, and Us a Way to Reconnect To That Feeling Whenever We Like. It's also a Great Album to play for any of those outsiders who ask you what it was all about. Most likely they will end up saying "I Don't Get It", To which you can reply "I didn't think you would, But That is what it was like,(Or at least at Party Time!)!

At top of their game

Twelve excellent tunes across two nights. Jorma rips, Jack rumbles, Marty wails & Grace flits about. Sound is pretty darn good all things considered. Saw them a number of times way back and this is as tight as you'll ever find them. I think it's the best live one out there, certainly the most accurate capture of them cookin'. Far edgier than Pointed Head; could be a New York thing. If you're a fan of the Airplane, treat yourself to this one (at an unbelievable price!).

back when musicians played rock n roll- good stuff

Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2009

To a lot of uninformed people, the Airplane was 'that' group that had the pop radio hits of Someone to Love and White Rabbit and Grace Slick. But the Airplane was so much heavier than that. They've always been overlooked and unrated in my book. Live, they could tear the place down. If you never saw them live you missed something special. Check out the DVD with them called A Night at the Family Dog 1970 (The Grateful Dead / Jefferson Airplane / Santana).
In the late 60's and early 70's Jack and Jorma were [and still are] probably the best American lead and bass guitarist in the business. Jack Casady was so far beyond a 'bass' player, he played a lead guitarist who played bass getting solo's! Don't forget that's Jack with Jimi Hendrix on Voodoo Child. And Jorma attacking his guitar...well just buy this CD and check it out yourself. Throw in Paul Kantner's rhythm guitar and great song writing, Spencer's jazz influenced drumming [which I appreciate more with every listening], and Grace and Marty trading vocal riffs, and y'all got a piece of RnR heaven. If you like psychedelic music, this is a must have. A time capsule of screaming guitars, great singers and cool tunes. They've been in my head for 40 + years and the music and era still holds up really well.

Possibly the best live Airplane available

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2007

Verified Purchase

Having always been a huge fan of Bless It's Pointed Little Head, I've been disappointed again and again by other live Airplane releases. Thirty Seconds has its moments but, well, the Airplane was dying a slow death, and it's for that reason that I haven't bought Last Flight. Then there are the various Monterey releases, which are good but marred by off-key vocals, and then there was that truly awful Fillmore compilation a while ago. This one, though, has it all, with incredible versions of Good Shepherd, Pooneil, and Other Side. Yes, there's a bit of embarrassing stuff--Marty on "Dresses", though the jam behind him isn't bad (which, actually, is a preview of later Airplane, with Jorma and Jack jamming away, apparently oblivious to the lame material they're playing behind. Or perhaps they were all too aware, hence Jorma's "my body's getting tired from carrying others' loads"). In addition, 3/5 and Plastic Fantastic pale compared to the Pointed Little Head versions, and Jorma's blues tunes make me want to listen to Hot Tuna instead. Take those out, however, and you've go an album of around the same length as Bless Its Pointed Little Head (no, I haven't actually counted the minutes) and arguably as good or better.

The Airplane at their most musically mature - stunning!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 22, 2007

Verified Purchase

When I first saw 'Sweeping Up the Spotlight' listed, I was a little sceptical. After all we had already had two official live albums from RCA as well as a whole host of other releases in the so called 'grey market'. To add to this, the tracklisting for 'Spotlight' looked overly familiar - and I was beginning to wonder whether there was actually ever a Balin era concert when they they didn't do 'The Other Side of This Life'. I really should have known better. The Airplane's capacity for innovation and reinvention is underpinned here by their trademark instrumental prowess and some wonderful three part harmonies. 'Pooneil'features a virtual masterclass in improvisation from Jack Casady as well as series of especially deranged and discordant 'Zappaesque' sound effects at the beginning. In fairness it should be pointed out that two of the twelve performances appeared a few years back on the expanded (Legacy)version of 'Volunteers'. But they sound far better here in the context of the whole concert - and we have a bonus in Balin's 'Dresses Too Short' - the only official version of this one we've heard before is the one from the Box Set - dating from Marty's one off performance with the band in 1972. The attractive booklet contains a short but reflective essay from Jorma Kaukonen. This concert represents the Airplane at their most musically mature. Woodstock and their five classic studio albums are behind them. And yet the purity of their music has yet to be compromised by the departure of Marty Balin and the arrival of later extraneous members. Even if you are not chronically addicted to the Airplane's music you will love this one.

I saw Jefferson Airplane live back in 1968, and they were loud, fast and rocking, and that's what this performance is. Powerful performances, with a lot of heavy lifting from Jorma and Jack. Don't expect the delicate ballads of Surrealistic Pillow, but do enjoy the power of tihs group at full throttle. Pretty good sound too.

Exactly how they were....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 9, 2008

Verified Purchase

After so many of the recent 'grey' live Airplane releases which have varied from the so-so to the unlistenable, it's wonderful to find that this is the real McCoy, just how I remember them. It's obviously been put together with care, the sound is absolutely terrific and the band are absolutely at the top of their game; it's up there with 'Bless Its Pointed Little Head' as a reminder of what a superb live band this lineup was.

You won't find me complaining that 'Dresses' is too long, too lightweight. It is, but what the heck, it's a live show and that's what you get sometimes if a band want to do more than churn out a couple more hits. Nor that Grace only gets one solo; heck, it's 'White Rabbit' and a blistering performance to boot.

There's obviously a fair amount of material from these shows that's not made it out yet; 'Wooden Ships' is a real standout from the ones found as bonus tracks on the 'Volunteers' CD. So that's the beef - this should have been a double.

Definitive.

Für Airplane-Verhältnisse mittelprächtig ...

Reviewed in Germany on January 18, 2011

Verified Purchase

Leider kann ich die vorangegangenen Bewertungen nicht teilen. Wenn man Jefferson Airplane von den Studioaufnahmen her kennt und auch die ursprünglich auf den Woodstock-Alben veröffentlichten Live-Aufnahmen, dann wird man hier - sorry für die harte Aussage - eher seinen Ohren nicht trauen.
Marty Balin ist auch sonst möglicherweise nicht der begnadetste Sänger, aber hier ist eher 80% Stöhnen und geschönt 20% Singen angesagt. Grace Slick kann das nicht ausgleichen, dreht sich eher um sich selbst, so dass der "schöne" zweistimmige Gesang mir weit zu oft in Disharmonien endet und damit eigentlich vollkommen zerstört wird. Die Songs bekommen gegenüber den Studioaufnahmen ein ganz anderen Charakter.
Dass man vor Publikum aufgeregt ist und daher schneller spielt, ist klar, dass passiert praktisch allen Bands, aber die Stücke leiden meines Erachtens unter dem eher hohen Tempo, in dem sie "heruntergerattert" werden. Der "Groove" stellt sich praktisch an keiner Stelle wirklich ein, obwohl Schlagzeug und Bass ordentlich zu hören sind und auch sehr gleichmäßig und rhythmisch spielen. Die übrigen Bandmitglieder scheinen diesen soliden Teppich allerdings sehr ausgiebig zu strapazieren, so dass man eigentlich nicht hinhören möchte. Auch die langen Soli von Kaukonen ändern nichts an meiner bisherigen Einschätzung, sondern fallen gegenüber den Studioaufnahmen eher einfallslos, sich wiederholend und hektisch aus.
Zwei Punkte, weil man natürlich immer noch argumentieren kann: Seltene, historische Aufnahme, die man sonst nie hätte hören können. Aber um Airplane kennen zu lernen denkbar schlecht geeignet und auch für Fans nicht unbedingt zu empfehlen; es sei denn man muss - so wie ich - die Sammlung eher vollständig haben. Bei mir steht die CD allerdings nach zweimaligem Hören (das erste mal schlicht geschockt und das zweite mal konnte den Eindruck nicht bessern) schlicht im Regal und wird so schnell auch nicht wieder hervorgekramt.

The Jefferson Airplane live can be a mixed bag at the best of times. However, on this disc the band are completely in sync with each other. There is no sloppy hippy dippy loose jamming here and Jorma Kaukonen's blistering lead guitar is worth the price of admission alone.
