Coming to a county fair, bar mitzvah, or VFW hall near you: JEFFERSON STARSHIP.

Worst band promo ever.

yeah, you're right where i found ya!

Hmm. I can't figure out which one is Grace Slick -- The one on the far left, or the far right. :)

I love how they put that guy with the army jacket and bowl-cut in the middle.. It's like a desperate attempt to identify with the 60's anti-war look.

It was around the time of the album 'Freedom at Point Zero' - Grace Slick was pregnant at that point and had taken a break from the group.

[amadoj0nes.livejournal.com]

But why is she still there in the picture? (Again, the one on the far left side I think?) :)

[guitarrorist.livejournal.com]

That picture includes, from Left to right: Craig Chaquico, Pete Sears, David Freiberg, Paul Kantner, Aynsley Dunbar, and Mickey Thomas.

No Grace Slick.

Oh come on, that's gotta be her on the far left..

[guitarrorist.livejournal.com]

If you want. And Mickey Mouse on the far right.

[talldean.livejournal.com]

The far right. Definitely the one on the right. Runner up is *behind* the person with the army jacket.

[amadoj0nes.livejournal.com]

I, for one, would like to stop Jefferson Starship.

I've seen far worse promo photos than this one.

[amadoj0nes.livejournal.com]

Share!

I dare you to find one worse than this. Maybe, MAYBE a Judas Priest promo photo..MAYBE.

awwww. My dad LOVES Jefferson Starship. Surrealistic Pillow, anyone?

[mlfoley.livejournal.com]

That was Jefferson Airplane, not JEfferson Starship. While it had some similar band members, it was not really the same band. Airplane was San Fran hippie/protest rock, while Starship was - well, let's put it nicely - "adult contemporary music and adult rock."

[inkytwist.livejournal.com]

Oh, you're totally right! Thanks.

[guitarrorist.livejournal.com]

I would argue the ‘STARSHIP’ was the lame incarnation of the group and that ‘JEFFERSON STARSHIP’ was a great group (at times) and had quite a few awesome songs...

But I suppose STARSHIP ruined the perception of JEFFERSON STARSHIP enough that most people don’t recall that fact.

[amadoj0nes.livejournal.com]

I can only think of one thing worse than STARSHIP.


"STARSHIP Featuring (fill in the blank)"

[mlfoley.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah, I suppose you're right. Mostly, I just wonder why they went for the AOR and Adult Contemporary stuff when their 60s music was so impassioned. It's sad.

[mlfoley.livejournal.com]

Oh how the mighty had fallen.

[gigidebevec.livejournal.com]

You said it!

[nerdwerds.livejournal.com]

Or is it the best band promo ever!?
I can't decide

[yo-mtv-raps.livejournal.com]

"WE BUILT THIS CITY" ::chants::

[amadoj0nes.livejournal.com]

That song needs more synth Japanese flute like Don't Fear The Reaper needs more cowbell.

[poofy-boy.livejournal.com]

Your icon goes well with the comment :D (It still cracks me up every time. Damn those crazy kids).

[aibyouka7.livejournal.com]

I actually recently saw the latest incarnation of this band at a local festival at a park here in Miami Township, Ohio so...your comment holds true.

RIP Airplane. :(

ugh, Mickey Thomas.
