"In 1965 Marty Balin pulled together a group of musicians that would become one of the first and most important bands to emerge from San Francisco. On August 13, Jefferson Airplane played their debut show at The Matrix, a music club Balin started and which was later credited as the catalyst of the San Francisco music scene. The first performance featured founding members Marty Balin on vocals, Paul Kantner on vocals/rhythm guitar, and Jorma Kaukonen on lead guitar. Signe Anderson, (who sang on Jefferson Airplane's first recording, Jefferson Airplane Takes Off, also performed. Bass player Jack Casady and drummer Skip Spence (who was later one of the original members of Moby Grape) joined the band two months later. Spencer Dryden became the drummer in June of 1966 and Grace Slick joined as vocalist in October of 1966.
The band performed the first concert for Bill Graham at the legendary Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco in February 1966. Jefferson Airplane performed at the Berkeley Folk Festival, Monterey Jazz Festival, Monterey Pop Festival, Woodstock and Altamont. Their hit singles included "White Rabbit" and "Somebody to Love", from the album Surrealistic Pillow, which was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. In the summer of 1968, the band co-headlined a European tour with The Doors. They subsequently toured with bands such as Grateful Dead, Santana, Jimi Hendrix, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Who, Janis Joplin, Steve Miller, and many others. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. In celebration of their recent honor with a Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award, the GRAMMY Museum welcomes Jefferson Airplane's Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady to the Clive Davis Theater for this intimate conversation on their esteemed career."
I have provided a link to some of my Hot Tuna photographs that I took in Oct. 1970 -

Jack is forgiven! I can't expect him to know how to talk into a mic. Love both of these Men So Much!!!
As a Bluegrass guitar player and singer, it's all about musical projects and the next show! So great to hear these stories, cuz that's how it happens! Just don't stop playing music 🎵🎶🎵
For most of my life I've had the great pleasure of listening and to and watching Jorma and Jack, as well as Paul, Grace, Marty, Spencer, and all the wonderful others. So this is absolutely wonderful to see. Thank you!!!
His bass playing when first him on Surrealistic Pillow I could not believe the deep resonance of his bass. Having become a bass player in the future I was in wonder how did he get that tone !!! Still his playing his the greatest. Hot Tuna is an American treasure.
Jefferson airplane, one of my favorite bands
Jack Cassidy is one of my top 5 favourite musicians!!

Loved the airplane. Saw them many times living in SF. Went to Altemont
Could listen to them talk and play all day.....
The best comment I've ever read was, "Jack Casady uses the bass guitar as an assault weapon."
Thank you for posting these! I’m a huge fan of the Airplane and Hot Tuna. Jorma and Jack are the best! I found your KZread through Nextdoor, btw.
Thank you for posting this!!
Where did they get that old, canned intro video at the beginning. That was cringey. These guys deserve much better.... Still always enjoy interviews with Jack and Jorma.
The Jefferson Hairpie, and we all know who the boys had for Hairpie.
I JUST bought a Guild Starfire....cherry red, single pickup, sweet growing tone.

Enjoy, but you could have had the REAL Jack Casady bass and tone with a new cheaper long scale Jack Casady signature Epiphone bass. ;-)
They were my favorite band until I saw Pink Floyd in concert.
