[LanceHelmut]

[jwalsh671]

This album took "Bark" and "Long John Silver" to an echoing new dimension!

[jeanhartely]

Thank you Thank you! One of my favorite albums from when I was a kid!

[67rml]

Ohhh Yes... With Papa John Creech playing violin. Not that I want to do the early 70s again, but this song is compelling as bloody hell.

The flying Toasters pretty much says it all!

Trial By Fire Sessions from Take Me To A Circus Tent:The Jefferson Airplane Flight Manual by Craig Fenton



[slipnutt]

Trial By Fire was first played live by Jefferson Airplane in 7/72 at William and Mary College in Williamsburg, VA. The final time played was 9/22/72, Winterland, SF....Hot Tuna played it once on 9/2/89 at the Garden State Arts Center, Holmdel, NJ.

Trial By Fire (Jorma vocals) was also played live before the Sessions, on 1/21/72-3/1/72 at Capitol Theatre, Portchester, NY (David Frieberg's first show).

[jeanhartely]

Yeah, but with Papa John! What a band!

[jeanhartely]

Great, great song. Not so well known. Thank you for posting it. I saw Hot Tuna in '76 and screamed for this-- and they played it. Whoo Hoo!

[HemiHead66]

I love Papa John on this album.

[yippierb]

Jack is just the shit ...listen to that bass.

[louiseduvee]

I can't believe I foind this. A classic song, one of their best (Ms. Slick is about 14 years older than I). Great, hardcore stuff.

Thank you.

[melvyd2]

This album is Hot Tuna already with guests Grace Slick & Paul Kanter.

[louser777]

@melvyd2 you nailed it!

[melvyd2]

@louser777 I loved both bands but listening to this album now that I'm older I noticed this is much more a Tuna sound than The Airplane.

[keo774]

@melvyd2 you're right, my friend

[lagunaflyguy]

A great tune to take down the highway!

This album cover was the inspiration for one of the original screen savers with flying toasters

[Anglo1982]

This version is much better than the Long John Silver version as it features Papa John on fiddle. I have seen footage of this song with Papa John on VH1...does anyone know where this footage was from or where to obtain a copy???

[headwall07]

Great Airplane crashing era song
