I made a thread on Jefferson a while ago but it appears to have been pruned.
I discovered Jefferson Airplane about a year ago and really got into their stuff. One of the main reasons was that in a lot of cases I prefered their live material to the recorded stuff, not that the studio material wasn't good. I found their live recordings absolute astounding. A lot of people don't agree with me but there's something about this LSD inspired rock that really blows my mind. Those amazing riffs, the subtle yet complex bassline mixed with the vocals of Grace Slick are mindblowing. I listen to the songs time and time again and every time I discover a new riff, a new note or something new. It's like the songs change depending on what mood I'm in which is really 'out there'.
I'm not on acid, honest!
I'm currently listening to 'High Flyin Bird' . I love the way the intense vocals hit a peak then blend into the soft rhythm of the song. Wow. I also love the popular favourites such as 'White Rabbit' and 'Somebody to Love'. The live version of 'Have You Seen the Saucers' is mindblowing, currently standing at one of my favourite live recordings.
Do we have any other Airplane fans among us? What are your favourite songs/albums? Are there any hidden gems out there I should keep an eye out for?
Wow
