A Night at the Family Dog 1970 (The Grateful Dead / Jefferson Airplane / Santana) Family Dog Ballroom. San Francisco Grace Slick: vocals Marty Balin: vocals Jorma Kaukonen : guitar Paul Kantner: guitar Jack Casady: bass Spencer Dryden: drums
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
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.
@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.
@54markl He unfortunately got old, same with Jack. They both don't play the energy they one had :( Bummer, right?

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