When I clicked on this I fully expected to see a sad performance by a once great singer who is now playing at state fairs and trying to cling to the spotlight. I can't say how blown away I am at how great he sounds, he was 73 at the time this was recorded and he is hitting every note and it sounds incredible.
I assume when you say "He's still got it", you mean herpes right? Because this performance is not only embarrassing for the performer, but the people there who actually paid money to see this train wreck.
Thank you for giving hope to the rest of us that we might lose our youth, but that doesn't necessarily mean we lose everything that matters. Holy hell, he's still got it!
I swear I thought he died - from a news feed...and said this must be a old show...glad I am wrong... Jane -I played cranked going to Ottawa a couple yrs ago early morning...
I had no idea Mickey could still sing like that! Wow! Nice loud and proud bass! I didn't know that Aragorn (LOTR) could also play some killer guitar. 🗡️
Ya Mick Thompson.. he's always been a great singer... The voice in the music still there I just wish the sound could have been a little bit better on this recording but he still sings Like a Bird 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Okay, I just saw Jefferson Starship last week. None of these people were on stage. They were on tour with Brett Michaels. They sounded way better than these guys. What’s up with that? Do they have different line ups for this band? The guy who sang Jane was an original Airplane member. He is 85. Couldn’t believe how good he sounded. It wasn’t this guy.
Craig and Mickey are both playing in small venues. I'd bet they'd make a killing if they played together. I'm not a historian of this band, so I don't know if there's a reason. Let's be real, the band's a mess, but I've always attributed that to the Airplane days of Slick, Balin, and Kanter.
Been seeing Micky Thomas since his Elvin Bishop days....Having seen Jefferson Starship near 40 times i never was a fan of him in that band...Liked the Band much more before him and even after him....Marty Balin he is not...Not a fan of him stealing the Starship name either ....At least cant call this band anything Jefferson has Kantner won that right in court...These guys sound no better than a tribute band at best....
Well Mickey came on after they changed there name from Airplane to Starship. Ummmm...who else is an original member? His voice is shot... Come on Grandma and Grandpa eat your 'member berries.
Great job firing Stephanie Calvert, because random girl in costume hitting cowbell is just so much better ! No desire to see you in concert again. Man of questionable character.

Me pasó lo mismo, estoy gratamente sorprendido de su calidad vocal.
Mickey has always been so damned underrated. Saw him in 18’ and I was blown away and here 5 years later he’s still got it.
He's still got a fantastic voice.!😊
I remember watching Starship on The Show Friday's back in the early 80s.
Great voice and performance. He's still got it!

Really?? You should have your ears checked.
Still amazing! His voice is awesome!!!!!!
I was in 6th grade and bought this Album for an early birthdat presesnt to myself from my paper route . GREAT JOB H.S. Happy New Years !
OMG this is incredible to see! They still rock, big time!
Good Job on a Great song that I grew up with.
One of the greatest rock vocal tracks to have ever been recorded.He pulls it off in the original key.
Mickey Thomas is a legend.
Man - he still gets WAY UP THERE! Not bad... l mean Phillip Bailey & Peter Cetera CAN NOT hit those high notes anymore
Thank you for giving hope to the rest of us that we might lose our youth, but that doesn't necessarily mean we lose everything that matters.
Holy hell, he's still got it!
I saw Mickey at the NYS Fair last summer. Great Show!! Freedom At Point Zero is an underrated album!!!
I swear I thought he died - from a news feed...and said this must be a old show...glad I am wrong... Jane -I played cranked going to Ottawa a couple yrs ago early morning...
@@davidrynberk1533 The rest of the Album is great as well. Fading lady Light, the title track etc
@@spuds6423 thank you- talented by far
Holy crap!! Nice!!
So good!
One of my favorite songs ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊
Word, thank you all for all these years, and song...
My cousin played with Mickey in a high school band in their hometown of Cairo Georgia.
Wow. Just wow.
I had no idea Mickey could still sing like that! Wow! Nice loud and proud bass! I didn't know that Aragorn (LOTR) could also play some killer guitar. 🗡️
Hey...that's the other guitar player from Winger!!
Cowbell, I need it.
Man, the guitar player was cool as hell back then. He still is!
MICKEY THE GREAT ONE! KICKIN' IT RIGHTEOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The chick with the cowbell kinda reminds me of Elaine Benes from Seinfeld...A full body dry heave set to music!!! SWEET FANCY MOSES!!!
WOW
Good to be ALIVE ❤❤
Can you say 🔥🔥🔥🔥 fire🚒?
dino jelusick rocks this song.
Still got those pipes
This brother defies all vocal odds, and wales like nobody's business. Two Memphis boys Killin it as well, John lead guitar and Jeff on Bass.
It’s incredible that Mickey Thomas can pull this off like this at his age. He just sounds amazing. I’ve seen him many times throughout the years.
Pretty damned good for a rocker in his 70's, wow!
Georgia boy, too! Counts for a touch!
Mickey is around 73 years old in this video WOW 👍🇺🇸
Fk yeah!
Can we get Will Ferrell on that cowbell ?
Why the cowbell 😂 They sound badass still. What a song.
I got a FEVAH! And the only prescription..is MORE COWBELL!!! 🤣 Nice to see that Mickey's still got most of his range.
Song needs some more cow bell. General Bualkhalter is doing a good job on the drums though!
😂😂😂😂
That deserves another 😂😂😂😂 as I'm still laughing at the General Bualkhaltee comment.
one of my all time favorites....just needs more cowbell.....
Mickey is a force of nature...
Can't wait to see them In Greece NY !
Ya Mick Thompson.. he's always been a great singer... The voice in the music still there I just wish the sound could have been a little bit better on this recording but he still sings Like a Bird 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Song seems much faster than previously performed..
Mickey can still bring it for sure. Would like to see him and the surviving members of "Jefferson" Starship patch it up and reform one band.
I've always liked Jefferson Starship more than Jefferson Airplane ✈️
Other than Mickey (who sounds great) are there any original (or close to original) members up there?
There are original members in the other band that tours as Jefferson Starship.
No
Mickey didn't get the memo. Old rockers are supposed to lose their voice.
Mickey's still got it.
Cian and that cow bell... ohh man.
Mickey's still got it but still need Grace.
Could use more cowbell ! Good though.
Well played!
Gut hanging out Like Ferrell
I have a fever and the only cure is more cowbell
Atleast that is Mickey.
Not a substitute singer.
Mickey Thomas made them famous, really famous. Grace slick can’t sing without the help of studio production
Still singing like a killer. I don't understand how he can sing like this. Is it genetics?
I got a fever…and the only cure, is more COWBELL!
Excuse me I mean Mickey Thomas
Who’s playing guitar
John Roth
More cowbell
A little more Cow Bell .....
Where's Stephy?
Well, at least Micky's Starship is better than David Freiberg's current version of Jefferson Starship.

Where's Grace?🤔
hiding out in Marin County !!! 🤣🤣
Good Grief... Grace is 83 years old in 2023.
@@robertmasi9955Same as Ringo
Grace retired from rock.
She's been retired many yrs. I rank her as a great singer.
Can do without that spaz on the cowbell
Band sound tight but his voice is a shocker 🙄
Why the eye roll
Is Grace Slick dead?
No.
you’re on the internet. look it up ffs.
Without Grace Slick their nothing!
They’re
Well Mickey came on after they changed there name from Airplane to Starship. Ummmm...who else is an original member?
His voice is shot...
Come on Grandma and Grandpa eat your 'member berries.
Great job firing Stephanie Calvert, because random girl in costume hitting cowbell is just so much better ! No desire to see you in concert again. Man of questionable character.
More cowbell. More cowbell.
I gotta have more cowbell!
