1982: I try not to post anything from Jeffeson Starship after 1979 as I'm no fan of the direction the band took in the 1980s, especially since they released a tune that many feel is the worst rock song of all time, We Built This City On Rock and Roll (go here for more on that!). But I'll make an exception with this soundboard recording from May 28, 1982, 4 decades ago today. First, the concert features original Jefferson Airplane members Grace Slick & Paul Kantner. Second, the show was a benefit for Viet Nam Veterans. Third, and finally, the bill also featured Country Joe and the Garateful Dead, making this a 1960 reunion of bands who firmly opposed the war in Viet Nam.

I do so relate to what you say about Starship and share your opinion on the later incarnation but from what you say and sharing your reasoning, I will give this a try. Thanks so much for all you make available, Speedy. It is always appreciated
my pleasure - enjoy
I really don't recall the Grateful Dead ever taking a public stand re: the vietnam war in any direction. I thought that it was their policy to not be political (even though i do recall them (Bobby) occasionally mentioning voting on a proposition). But I never heard any Vietnam War talk...

Thank you. I'll check it out!
