This is a compilation of 2 separate TV appearances by The Jefferson Airplane. The main body of this recording is from the April 1970 performance from Wally Heider Studios. Just two songs "Eskimo Blue Day" and "Ballad Of You & Me & Pooneil" are from the February 1970 performance at The Family Dog. The Airplane would last roughly 2 more years before becoming The Jefferson Starship. The last two shows of the 1972 tour held at Winterland in San Francisco would be the end of Airplane live shows until 1989. Out of the ashes of The Airplane of course came The Jefferson Starship, but also the band Hot Tuna so some great music was till to be made by all.

  1. Hi Rosebud,

    Interesting choice. By 1970 I though the airplane had lost direction. Having said that, and I'm old and saw the Airplane in the early days with Skip Spence and Signe Anderson. I loved them through 1969 and saw them many times (I'm an S.F. native) I feel that by 1970, they were too splintered and did not have the cohesiveness of the year before. However, it is still interesting, the Airplane would really become hit or miss with Bark and Long John Silver. They seemed to recover focus as Jefferson Starship with Dragonfly, Red Octopus and Spitfire and then lost focus again starting with Earth. I consider the outstanding Blows Against The Empire to be more of a PERRO (Planet Earth Rock 'n' Roll Orchestra) release rather than Jefferson Starship release.

    I spent quite a bit of time in the Haight-Ashbury district in it's heyday. I always felt that 1966 was the Summer Of Love rather than 1967. In 1966 there were mostly students and artists (in all formats) and very few people who were not contrubuting. After all the news and magazine articles, it became unsustainable. Coupled with the change in drugs - from marijuana and LSD to speed, cocaine and heroin - the situation quickly became unbearable. 1965 and 1966 were glorious times in the Haight.

    Keep taking care of Just Dave. You are an angel for all you do.
