Jefferson Airplane - The Ballad Of You And Me And Pooneil+Eskimo Blue Day

[atbglenn]

I feel sorry for the young people of today who never got a chance to see a truly great band like Jefferson Airplane play live.. Glad to be a baby boomer!

JACK is the man! He laid it down in The Ballad of You, Me and Pooniel and the ending on Eskimo Blue Day was phenomenal. Has anyone ever put this out on DVD? I've never seen such quality from a concert tape from the 70's

Well .... Jorma, could you never do that lead on the 45 ever again? What's up?

[atbglenn]

@54markl He unfortunately got old, same with Jack. They both don't play the energy they one had :( Bummer, right?

[BirdmanOfAlkatrash]

Thank You.

Great quality, only the best for the legendary Jefferson Airplane. Did Spencer Dryden left shortly after this performance?

[MrKomsomoletz]

Rockn-Roll giants!

Thanks for puttin this up - much better video quality than the other versions floating around YT. Audio has its own problems here (MP3 or whatever conversion), but the mix is better than average, and Jack's once-in-a-lifetime bass solo is captured; it's the important part of this video, and it sounds great. And as a bonus we get Grace's great Eskimo Blue Day with its apocalyptic instrumental ending.

@timmoony Great quality! Jack's solo smokes, as always. Thank you timmoony.

Isnt that actually Marty Balin playing the Gibson 335, because Ive seen the other guy with them latter, and apparently Marty left soon after Grace joined and Ive seen the guy with the tambourine in their woodstock vids

[jakeenan]

@Noseheros Are you tripping! No, that's Jorma on guitar. Marty is singing here. He didn't leave shortly after Grace joined. This gig here though is right before the 'classic' JA imploded. One can smell the end a coming. Spencer was sacked a few months later- he was the drummer. Marty left by 71. They limped along for 2 further albums and then it was over. Shame. But there's 5 amazing studio albums and a whole bunch live recordings from that time. About 7 or 8 have been released this past year.

@jakeenan Wow you're right, my bad! But Spencer left right after "Jefferson Airplane Takes Off"(1966) To form Moby Grape, an d it says that this is from 1970

[jakeenan]

@Noseheros Skip Spence was Airplane's first drummer. He played on their first album. He left to form Moby Grape. He was a good time-keeper, and could write a tune, but he was a guitarist though. Sadly, he had bats-in-the-belfry and ended up in an asylum. Spencer Dryden was Airplane's definitive drummer. The voted him out in the end. Biggest mistake they ever made. Once he was gone the house of cards crumbled.

[Noseheros]

@jakeenan or did you mean Spencer Dyrden? Then you'd be right, he left in 1970
