Mickey has got to be the most underrated vocalist ever. He never got the credit that Steve Perry did but I'd put him right up there with Steve any day. Mickey Thomas was, and still is, one of the most incredible vocalists of all time. Keep rockin' Mickey!

Love Mickey Thomas! Loved the female singer that came to the Historical Everett Event Center...that was an incredible show. The harmonies were ridiculous! Wishing she was in this video. She was an excellent fit for the band. You've still got it Mickey! ❤

Mickey may be 73 and looks it but his voice hasn't aged a bit

Mickey still got a great voice.🥰

Mickey Thomas Keep On Rockin `, man ! Whatta Voice )) Regards to all in group, now..!

Wow ! Mickey's voice is still en fuego 🔥. Way to go !

Sounds just as good all these years later. As earlier mentioned, Mickey is definitely one of the most under rated singers from the 70's and 80's and IS STILL ON FIRE.A 70's something year old will give a lot of the newcomers a real run for their money. Singing AND looking incredible.

One of the few greats that never lost his range as a singer!

Mickey sounding incredible. Incredible vocal control

This man amazing sing in 2023, wow level up

Love and Miss ya Steph , that voice of yours is unreplaceable so is your beautiful heart.

WOW Mickey still sounds great! the band is kickn too as always..

Singing legend. What a voice

One of my faves. Whenever I hear it I sing along cause I've done the same thing. Damn, damn,damn!!

You got some good video of him I saw him last night 5-28-22 opening for Night ranger it was a good show. I’m impressed with his voice all these years later

god he still sounds great

Mickey Still cute as ever. Love it! 😘🔥

I was a big Micky Thomas fan, but not anymore. The way he crapped on Steph was uncalled for. My days of going to a Starship concert are over.

I really hate his bearded-looks but He Still Has One of Pop/Rock's Best Voices! This Man is Truely Blessed.. Respect! And i dig this guitarist 100% aswell!

I’d like to see Stephanie back but still a good show

The girl is good but I prefer Stephanie for vocal and stage command. Also I love Stephanie's smile.

Mickey and Band sounds excellent!

Stephanie and Grace share an eerie resemblance on stage. lol

MI CANCIÓN FAVORITA!!! GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR!!! SALUDOS DESDE PUERTO RICO!!!

Lead guitarist just carves up Elvin's original guitar solo on "Fooled Around...". Elvin's playing had feeling and soul...this guy sounds like someone at Guitar Center noodling around.

Cian ROCKS

Still sounding great! First heard you sing this one at the old record store in the Cairo plaza.

i saw them 8 times

Still got it!

Mickey sounds great! where are more songs?

Lo máximo

Mickey still doing a great job. Elvin Bishop is missed in this song for sure!!!

👍👍👍

I saw the Tulsa concert last week. It wasn't bad. I was surprised. I do wish the differences could be overcome and get all remaining original members together. Now that being said Mickey did come till the 5th album I think.

Me alegra ver este video y descubrir a Starship. ¿Se nota que soy base 4? :v

Thats about as much Starship as i am....Have seen several different versions of Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, KBC Band close to 40 times....Only time i didnt care that much for the Jefferson Starship shows was when Micky Thomas was in the band...Thought he was much better with the Elvin Bishop Band....

At 72 id be suprised if i function let alone wail like that.

Mickey sounds great. Background vocals are a little pitchy

This is great, but I miss the stops/fills that drummer Donny Baldwin did in the original.

Mickey is amazing but I miss Stephanie Calvert.

Was just reading how they fired Stephanie Covert after 15 years. Not good. She will be missed. Shame on you Mickey.

Mickey sounded great, as always! That said, he does need to do something about his appearance. Yes it sounds superficial, and I know he is old. However, just like other performers in the entertainment industry, you cannot let your appearance go that far south. Ditch the grey beard, and get a little coloring for the hair and mustache.

@@matthewkissau981 I hear what you are saying, and as a guy who only is clean and combs my hair (i.e. not worried about my appearance), we are in agreement. I will also go so far as to say looks are irrelevant to musical talent, as we cannot see with our ears, only enjoy the talent one possesses. A quick example was Mama Kass who was no looker, but had pipes rivaled by few. That said, many of the classic rock groups are clearly greying, but they present a younger image. I really don't care if members of the Rolling Stones or Aerosmith are grey or not, but for potential new fans, it is harder to relate to someone who looks like your grandfather, singing about having sex with young girls. For example, one of my sons girlfriends seemed to like the Eagles music, but one day a newer video of them looking their current age, caused her to exclaim, "oooh gross". I asked why, as we all get older. Her reply was she thought based on the lyrics of their songs she liked, "they were young, not pervs". Certainly that was an ignorant and juvenile comment, but performers who wish to remain relevant today (with the newer generation), cannot ignore reality.

@MultiEviscerator

Жыл бұрын

@@unicornyankee I agree with you. Read my reply to Kissau for a better understanding of my perspective. Just a quick addition. While it is not fair, women are judged more harshly by the public "who show their age" than those who seek eternal youth, vs. greying older guys. Still, just imagine if a "heartthrob" who looked his age (without makeup/hair coloring), attempted to star in a movie with a young woman half his age. Roger Moore who was a heartthrob to many women, gave up playing James Bond despite efforts for him to do another film, after "A View To A Kill". He said it was absurd to have women more than half his age being portrayed as his lovers. Anyway, as a hetero guy, I do not care what Thomas looks like, I only live to hear his music. That does not mean I ignore reality for the life of a performer.
