Urbanaspirines :: Grace Slick and Paul Kantner : Blows Against The Empire, Sunfighter, Baron Tollbooth and The Chrome Nun 1070 -1973

Paul Kantner & The Jefferson Starship: Blows Against The Empire 1970 + Paul Kantner & Grace Slick: Sunfighter 1971 + Paul Kantner, Grace Slick & David Freiberg: Baron Tollbooth & The Chrome Nun 1973


Wow Kostas goes into overdrive (again!) and posts requests as we had been mentioning Blows against The Empire, Kantner and Slick (I think!?!) 3 years of psychedelic madness!? 

This a favourite era from them both . . . . . . . . . . 

















go on you know you want to . . . if only to read what he’s written!
It’s well worth it!

Jefferson Airplane - 1972-09-22 - Winterland Arena, San Francisco, CA - HEAVYBOOTZ

This is a heavy duty boot and no mistake. (Hence the source in Heavybootz! ahem sorry not sorry!) FM quality and Airplane at their very peak (IMHO) it is paired today with a set from the Nineties without Grace and frankly its not to my taste but then post Airplane and once the reinvention into Starship and people started to leave they left me behind pretty much so this is well worth checking out and is great loose loud riotous fun featuring Papa John and stands as a Paul Kantner classic around the time of 'Blows Against . . .'  and 'Bark' and so on . . . . . . as it says The Paul Kantner Project Phase 4 (sic) TURN IT RIGHT UP!

EMBRYONIC JOURNEY


My iTunes was streaming and came up with Jefferson Airplane and the first hit was this wonderful showcase for Jorma Kaukonen. A favourite piece of mine 'Embryonic Journey' so here's Hot Tuna and a live version with Jack and Paul  . . . . . . . . . and later on, a guest . . . . . . 






and couldn't resist this from the same concert . . . . . . Grace joins in and what a voice! 'Wooden Ships'




"I've been eating these little purple berries for over six weeks now and haven't gotten sick once. Probably keeping us both alive . . . . . . . . "


the first one I bought . . . . .Grace arrives


Have a great Sunday all y'all!
