Just great
Saw them in Central Park 1976. Sunny summer day
She was a powerhouse voice.
Been a fan of Jefferson Airplane since the mid 60s when I would hear their AM hits on KFRC at first—later when KSAN came into being it was a whole different ball of wax...
How ironic that most of the “revolutionaries” they were singing about are now supporters of democRATic/communistic tyranny and deep state corruption.
My screen name, by the way, goes back to the first Jefferson Starship album “Blows Against the Empire”.
Saw them in 76 at the old Capital Centre. Jeff Beck and Jan Hammer opening acts. I was 13 and my sister and her boyfriend had a spare ticket in the third row.
For the record, Paul Kantner was on the lunatic fringe of sixties political left. His vision of a revolution would make Karl Marx look like Rush Limbaugh.
Volunteers was by far their best album.
Their music is TIMELESS.
Best love song ever written or performed. The lyrics are sensational.
Mart Balin, may God rest your soul

If only you believe like I believe, baby, we’d get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby, so would I
If only you believe like I believe, baby, we’d get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby, so would I
I might have to move heaven and earth to prove it to you, baby
So we’re making love, you feel the power, I feel the power
And there’s really nothing we can’t do if we wanted to, baby
We could exist on the stars, it’d be so easy
All we got to do, get a little faith in you
I’ve been so many places and I’ve seen some things, yeah
I know love is the answer
Keeps holding this world together
Ain’t nothing better, ain’t nothing better
And all the answers to our prayers
Hell, it’s the same everywhere, baby
Nothing ever breaks up the heart
Only tears give you away now
Then you’re right where I found you
With my arms around you, oh baby
Baby, baby, love is a magic word, ooh-yeah
Few ever find in a lifetime, few ever find in a lifetime
But from that very first look in your eyes
You knew I’d knew you and I had but one heart
Only our bodies were apart
That was so easy, baby, that was so easy
I had a taste of the real world
When I went down on you, girl
Oh, so if only you believe like I believe, baby, we’d get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby, so would I
If only you believe like I believe, baby, we’d get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby, so would I
I can hear windmills and rainbows
Whenever you talkin’ to me
I feel like swirling and dancing
Whenever you’re walkin’ with me
You ripple like the river when I touch you
When I pluck your body like a string
When I start dancing inside you
Baby, you make the world sing
You make me wanna sing, yeah
Oh baby, baby, baby, oh baby
Oh yeah, all right
Baby, we’re sure doin’ it tonight
Every time you come by, let me try
Pretty please, with sugar on it, that’s how I like it
I can’t even believe it with you
Like having every dream I ever wanted come true
I picked up your vibes, you know it opened my eyes
I’m still dreaming, I’m still dreaming, yeah
You’re right where I found you
With my arms around you!
So if only you believe like I believe, baby, we’d get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby, so would I
If only you believe like I believe, baby, we’d get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby, so would I
So would I
So would I
Yeah, if only you believe like I believe, baby, we’d get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby, so would I
If only you believe like I believe, baby, we’d get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby, so would I
So would I
So would I
So would I
Saw them in March, 1986, Monroe, LA. Great, great stuff. Grace was mesmerizing with White Rabbit.
