Part 4 Flight of the Phoenix: The Jefferson Starship Story

Part 4 -
Flight of the Phoenix: The Jefferson Starship Story is a documentary I produced as part of a class in grad school a couple of years ago. As this was an educational assignment I borrowed heavily from the official Jefferson Airplane biopic DVD as well as many bits and pieces I could find on YouTube and Google. I apologize to anyone whos intellectual property I used for this educational purpose. I did fess up in class as to stealing pretty much the whole thing.

I also played fast and loose with the facts, figuring no one in my class would old enough to know the difference, and left in various obvious errors including the misspelling of Jack Casadys name as well as the mispronunciation of Kaukonens and Bears.

Its a bit long with 4 parts. I could have trimmed it down to less than half the running time, as the included performances are all (still, I think) available on YouTube, but hey, in for a dime, in for a dollar.

Please enjoy my posting on YouTube.

Kaukonen is one incredible acoustic player.

I had the pleasure of seeing the Jefferson Starship with Cathy Richardson at the Cleveland House of Blues in 2008. She did a superb job covering such gems as 'Fast Buck Freddie' and 'Eskimo Blue Day' and conveyed a piercing, solo rendition of the folk classic 'I Ain't Marching Anymore'. I agree she isn't a Grace Slick, but conversely, Grace Slick wasn't a Cathy Richardson.

The Jefferson Starships' new female lead is Chicago based Cathy Richardson, who has a successful career of her own and a strong following. She does an excellent job covering some very difficult vocals particularly with Airplane tunes . She is not Grace Slick, but then again, who else is?
