One of the greatest bands in history in all of their configurations and names

48 years later, In 2022, and it's the "Year of the Tiger" again, just like it was in 1974. This video is definitely not from 1974, just look at those eighties clothes and hair doo's! Plus there's no Marty Balin, David Frieberg, or Papa John Creech. I saw the Jefferson Starship's first performance at the Winterland Arena in San Francisco, California, USA, on 4/20/74. They were not listed as the headliner, as this was a surprise appearance. Link Wray opened the show. Jefferson Starship started their set with "Ride the Tiger". Somebody blew the titleing on this video big time!

Absolutely right. Also, Mickey Thomas (ugh) was not in the band in 1974.

RIP Paul

Still sorrowful that I haven't yet been able to find a video of this terrific band with a decent audio mix. Saw them several times from '73 to '86. Always =waaaaaay= impressed.

band is shown more here than some videos. really great rifts. we were teenagers, when this was wild.

Brilliant track

the song is from the 1974 album DRAGONFLY.............BUT it is live here from 1983..

Marty left in 1978 I think

Great song!

TODAY I'm trippin on Jefferson ( Airplane, Starship, or who ever the fuck) I credit this group for expanding my listenning of music. They were killa in concert, second to NONE.

I like that harmony at 4:45......they shoulda made it longer....almost like the tail end of crown of creation...they were unbeatable when they soared in harmony

I saw em' in the summer of 75' but all the world didn't come alive and I was disappointed. Not in the concert, that was perfect to the ear, but the cancelled revolution.

MUSIC IN TIME #045 March 19, 1974, Jefferson Airplane changes their name to Jefferson Starship. The new line-up includes Paul Kantner, Grace Slick, drummer Johnny Barbata, David Freiberg, Peter Kaukonen (younger brother of ex Airplane Jorma Kaukonen), Cragi Chaquico and 56 year old violinist, Papa John Creach. By the time the name was changed to “Starship” in 1985 after last remaining original Airplane member, Paul Kantner had left and made it legally impossible to use the work “Jefferson” or “Airplane”, this was a totally different band. But, yes, it’s Grace Slick, aka The Acid Queen, who sings on “Somebody to Love”, “White Rabbit” AND “We Built This City” and “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now”. #jeffersonairplane #jeffersonstarship #starship #1974 #musicintime #porterthorells Music in Time KZread Playlist: kzread.info/dash/bejne/a6F4qcWxkqTbo8o.html...

Saw them in St. Louis 74 or 75. Kansas opened for them. Didn't care much for Kantner until he sang Caroline.. Grace was looking good that night in black dress and Papa John had a good time on the violin. As always could of played longer. Good seats, Good show !!

Jefferson Starship played at the Kabuki Theatre in San Francisco on March 14, 1974, 5 days earlier than your reported name change of March 19, 1974, which was the date of their Auditorium Theater (Roosevelt University Theater in Chicago, Illinois) show, their second ever performance.

Yeah somebody got the titleing on this way wrong!

This was not 1974, Mickey Thomas was not with the band at this time. How do I know? I saw the Jefferson Starship on their Dragonfly tour in 1974. They played nearly all of Blows Against the Empire, Dragonfly and older Airplane songs.

Just learned "Jeff Starship" was also an early psudonum used by a young Joey Ramone!!

1983

At 3:42 Kantner seems to suggest the song was recorded in 1983. The composition of band members in the video and their appearance seems to confirm that date.

@picnut56 yeah,, there's no way this is 74. This is more like 78 78...80 even!! Like you said Craig Chaqico was a teenager in 74, here he's much older. Studio version of this song is amazing!

KOUJI328l please correct the title - while the original song was 1974, this performance is must be almost10 years later - Mickey Thomas (singer with moustache) didn't join til '79

They're talking about the year of the tiger (1974), from the Chinese calendar.

This song may have come out in 1974, but I don't think this was the '74 lineup.

It's definitely not that lineup. Balin had left. Barbata is gone too. My guess is 1977/1978.

Nope. this was 1983........the song was released in 74 under the name - Paul Kantner - Jefferson Starship - Grace Slick. It was the first "unofficial." album under that name....the following year is when the band was fully formed/reformed w/the album Red Octopus' in 75.

Is that Craig Chaquico on lead guitar? I'm not sure I recognize him.

@apemanstreetwalker Go be embarrassed somewhere else

Children, I am gkad that you like Jefferson AIRPLANE, but why do you confuse the awesome original group with the pale cover reformation with a couple of the original members JEFFERSON starship ! Come on that is really rude and disrespectful to one of the greatest psychedelic bands of the 60's.
