Jefferson Starship- Ride The Tiger

[jwmellott]

Is that M. Thomas ????

[GearBoxTy]

I want a purple Mockingbird like Craig's!

[hellnoreims]

il manque "papa john".

[probrojeffro]

Less drugs better music. 

[mastatsan]

@KingToggle That's not even from this song. That's from "Holy Diver" by Ronnie James Dio.

[MrMusicbook]

7 peoplel dislike this ??!! How is that possible?

[anewt72690]

Ride the tiger, you can see his stripes but you know he's clean...ohhhh don't you see what I mean!

oh, wait...

[eatsandsleeps]

You can smell the cocaine

[xJustynLx]

The mid seventies....SUCKED

[oreokookie1000]

Gawd I dont remember I have such chromosome damage, .....why my first kid looked like a cross 'tween Mickey thomas and Bruce Vilanch

[lcolby11]

Craig is playing jazz these days

[hottuna12341]

[MrFriscoscott]

pete sears was used for session work all the time for his piano and organ work why i don't know because he wailed on bass! saw him in frisco a bunch of times golden gate park for free too, a couple of years ago right?

[TheJKVW]

Memories....

[vokalfreak]

Wow! That was good!

[taariqtaariq]

[Johnhoulgate]

2010 - it's the Year of the Tiger!

[TheCarpenter17]

@Johnhoulgate not tiger but cat, or rabbit.

tigers year was few years ago. if u mean this,

another way all year is tigers and lions.

about song: nice one, firstly I heard somebody to love, in coen's "serious man" and loved it, grat song, and probably, great band

[hallucinatinggreen]

im digging the solos so bad man!

[Effingbaddude]

The tiger said, "feed your head"

[Iguanaseeyou]

That's Grace Slick? I thought it might be her granddaughter. Music's been good for those folks.

[NaughtGinger57]

Great guitarist, vocals and overall great group LIVE!-Wish I'd seen them perform live during this time.

[topcatroar61oliosc]

oobie doobie grace slick has a very shaply body and her voice mmmmmm honey sweet to touch my tongue i'd lick her for hours and hours

[keo774]

@jatsar yeah

[ProdigalSin]

Dunbar was a better Drummer

[WoodRatGirl]

"RIDE THAT SUCKER!"

[TomDavid88]

@rubikskub1983 - Amazingly, judging by the lyrics, it sounds like it might!

[riverwest1]

I'm guessing this live version is circa 1980 - considering Mickey Thomas is with them?

[pilot9781]

Didnt David Frieberg & Grace share lead vocals on the actual album in '74???

[THUDTP]

Craig Chaquico IS this band!!!!!!! GREAT!!!!!!

[THUDTP]

Craig Chaquico IS this band!!!!!!! GREAT!!!!!!

[TAPICTURES]

Das eine tolle Gruppe....super lieder die sie gemacht haben...ich stehe voll drauf.

[incongra]

Yes Mr. Chaquico recorded this in 1974, many years before Eddie Van Halen was even invented.  Very under-rated player. Thanks for posting this clip.

[5lowrollD]

@incongra You're a fool. You think eddie van halen was picking his nose in 1974? He was playing professionally since he was 13. You think nobody heard of eddie in 1974? Go read a book. Go read wikipedia or something.

[incongra]

@5lowrollD I have an even better idea. Why don't you go and get fucked?

[455Transam]

@incongra Actually only a couple years before VAN HALEN, first album not "many"

[smulhern34]

@455Transam Is it really necessary to nitpick?

[455Transam]

@smulhern34 No coffee today??

[jbilheimer]

mostly I'm a bigger Airplane than Starship fan, but this is one of the greatest tunes in rock n roll, imho

[onlymeexd]

Graaaaceeeee!!!

[95pito]

I think he is a great guitarist, he is the jorma kaukonen of Jefferson Starship

[skydogz1]

This was Starship's best.

[THUDTP]

Doesn't get better than this!! This is ROCK!! AMERICAN ROCK!! Craig is so underrated! Is anybody slicker than Grace? This is effin GREAT!!!!

[1stmesawind]

gfeck, hate to burst your bubble, but that IS (was) Craig Chaquico in the Jefferson Starship t-shirt on the purple guitar...gee maybe that's why it's note for note...

[gfeck]

To Brolpi, The guitarist is copying Craig Chaquico now a smooth jazz guitarist, What this guy is playing is almost note for note

[taariqtaariq]

@gfeck DUDE! it is chaquico!!!, who was a teenager when he first played on a airplane/starship related LP.

[alecfederov91]

lmao holy divers a good song ahhhaa

[brolpi]

sorry...HE is good

[brolpi]

wath is the name of the guitarist with the purple guitar? it's good!

[iorioriorio]

Does it get any better?....right! ronnie dio John oates , or dennis deyounge...no, thats how good these f*cjkers were, incorporporated all the above and then turned around and pre- dated them....all in their 50's..top that, green day!!

[Layz92]

Bugger, for a moment there I thought i could be completely original by making a Dio joke. Then I looked at the comments.

[erich84502]

Very influential.

[Mystifier122]

And Dennis DeYoung, on drums.

[komodoman]

And Elvira!

[die2no]

look john oates in starship

[jaquelinelisseth]

no way! you don't know DIO

[fluffyusa]

the performance to me sucks, but their audio off their greatest hit record kicks ass. i liked them both, the airplane/starship.

[himknow71]

I got it!!!!

...great one!!!

[Hyenashowl]

This is pretty good, but no one can "ride the tiger" like Dio. Let me know if you get that joke.

[dandeexxxx]

I saw them open with this-they about blew my eardrums out, but they were so fuckin good!!!!!!!!!

[THUDTP]

Not the best version of this song but this song as an original kicks- rock before it was rock - this tune rules!!!!!

[RoadfoodFan]

Poor performance from one of my favorite groups.

A lot of energy but little else. I leaves one wondering if this was Starship or Spinal Tap. I was waiting for the drummer to explode.

[czerwony45]

lol spinal tap! i know, i love these guys but i can't help but think the same thing sometimes. at least their harmonies were on target. i like this song a lot.

[SHAMKELLEY]

very much a forgotten live 70s band-phenomenal show with craig at guitar!!

[DDBreloaded]

They are a very good band, I am still a bigger fan of Jefferson Airplane though. I agree though, very good live band.

[JeffersonAirplanexo2]

craig is AWESOME!!!!! paul, in my opinion, really sucks at singing, but i still love the Airplane & JS!!!!

[OCRENEGADE714]

Craig plays a really fine G=box Paul and Grace are the founding members that make me feel the Cali attitude that I live for

[phactreerat]

She's like 70 years old now

[OriginalMoonbeam]

Not a great song..but Craig Chaquico is a fantastic guitarist. I think he was only about 16-17 years old when they recruited him and it was the smartest thing they could have done

[tapefilms]

i agree

[pachinko32]

DUDE.. FREAKIN' LAME.....

[meekrob]

Not that there's anything wrong with that. :)

[yaleengine]

saw them live- in I think 1984 - probably the best rock concert I've ever seen; certainly the best sound system. Only rock concert I've ever attended that sounded like sitting in front of a quality stereo system.

[ssweeps1]

Mickey Thomas is g__

[Mazurka1001]

rock people used to dress like back then...

[songwriterjo]

very good video

kisses from france

[alohastich2]

Nice Guitar!!!

[Peruanas0]

Craig Chaquico, rules!

[zyster001]

Great. Haven't heard this for years. Get a kick out the naive lyric of the times though. Today, a little tiger (house cat) to an Oriental man is good with rice LOL.

[bringerofvideos]

great song

[jayheadj420]

featuring Craig Chaquico on guitar a great one

[austin316brand]

i hear this song is about hitting acid... that true??

[jayheadj420]

i believe you have the key to chapel perilous dude

[miraclesbabyx]

Love it. Whoever's playing the lead guitar is sure playing to a T. Rock on Jefferson Starship. Isn't this from the Freedom at Point Zero album?

[Profetadelnopal]

My heart remember that song very well. Beautiful..!!

[onjgrease1978]

The lead guitarist is amazing, is he Jorma Kaukonen? If he was, I must have been blind since 1965! =) I love Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship.

[davemarkowitz]

That's Craig Chaquico on lead guitar.

[keo774]

@onjgrease1978

It wasn't jorma kaukonen: this is craig chaquigo.

and jorma is so much better than craig.

[keo774]

@ladyg8910 OH MY GOD YIOU KNOW GRACE SLICK AND YOU DONT JORMA KAUKONEN!!!!!!!!!!! THE JEFFERSON AIRPLANE AND HOT LEAD GUITARIST!!!!!! ONE OF THE BEST EVER!!!!!!!!!!! ILL SEE HIM LIVE THIS WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU MUST BE CRAZY

[MrPotatoesLatkie]

A false stereotype of Chinese and, Western people if their ever was. Go on and ride that tiger, but make sure to keep it away from certain Chinese Pharmacists who might want to cut of it's penis for use as an aphrodisiac. Same with the salt, carbon, H20 nonsense. Depends who you would ask. Most people anywhere would say it means sadness and, sorrow, or even joy. Hippy Dippy's sometimes have trouble thinking through the haze.

[grilledsamurai]

we built this city on rock and roll

[jelad612]

Great song... makes me wonder why Paul Kantner didn't sing more on their songs. I actually like his voice, it's unique. And Grace, of course, ROCKS on this one. Mickey Thomas looks lost!

[jonnda]

Oh right... well I guess it depends on what define as metal. I would correct my self and say early 70's. While I love deep purple and the other predecessors to what I know as metal, it's not quite what I think of as metal.

[onjgrease1978]

I like Grace Slick's voice.

[jonnda]

I think it's late 70's classic rock my friend, which was the precursor to metal.

[Diostillrocks]

This was done in 1974 after the Jefferson Airplane renamed themselves the Jefferson Starship.

[PERROkantner]

mickey thomas is what fucked jefferson starship up

[bigbadbob58]

There are two side to that opinion. I personally didn't really like the older Starship or the stuff after Mickey Thomas left. Part of the reason I like it so well was Craig Qhaquicio's guitar work. That only my opinion...

[carmo77]

Grace is sexy then ever here. And this is a great hard fm rockin'song!! keeping the 70's flavour...incredible how it works those "Airplane" vocals in this power early 80's heavy rock track

[stymye]

what about grace and mickey? aren't they good too?

[sketchesofariel]

The only good thing in this video is Craig and Paul. And mabey David
