    @brianhancock4865 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    I think what everyone needs to acknowledge first off when it comes to Jefferson Starship is Mickey Thomas’ amazing vocals. He is one of the most underrated yet one of the all time great rock and roll lead singers. His range is ridiculous and right up there with the best of the best. He sang on the Elvin Bishop song “Fooled around and fell in love” and nobody really ever acknowledged it was him or put two and two together to say “Hey! Isn’t that the guy from Jefferson Starship?” Give this man credit - he is probably one of the top 3 greatest lead singers of all time.

    Craig Chaquico is one of the best hard rock guitar players of all time. He can be flashy when he wants to be but he can also play just the perfect note at the perfect time - Billy Gibbons would be proud. His solo and fill work on this song are great. But then listen to how smooth he plays all the way through Runaway. Fantastic!

    Unfortunately I only saw them once in concert (1981), but it turns out that this was when the band had a mix of original members (Paul Kantor, Grace Slick) plus new ones (Mickey Thomas).

    Jay, that's not falsetto that Mickey Thomas is doing; he is an incredibly gifted singer and that is a belt mixed with some head voice that is just perfect and so resonant. And he does it over and over and it just blows my mind every time. I loved White Rabbit when it came out when I was a tiny kid, and I still do today, and then I associated it more with the hippie stuff from the late 60s, but then by the time this came out I was in junior high and I couldn't believe what I was hearing between the banging piano and the rock guitar, and so I learned how to play that piano part immediately, which isn't all that difficult.
    It took me until years later after playing and singing in bands to realize what Mickey Thomas is doing there vocally, and that to me is the primary reason that I can listen to this song absolutely over and over and over again, just to hear him do that stuff.
    And the overall arrangement of it is fantastic the way it builds up and then hands it off to the guitar and then the guitar builds up to that high crescendo and then hands it back over to Mickey on the vocals, it's just phenomenal.
    Amber, I have one from slightly before this that I bet you will love. It's called Runaway. It was a hit on the radio and it's right up your alley.

    'Jane' is my favorite tune by these guys, such a solid riff to drive it. I'm going to try and steer you two over to an awesome band you've never listened too. 'Lighthouse', not to be confused with 'Edison Lighthouse'. I know you'll like 'One Fine Morning' by Lighthouse just as much as you liked this song. It's as fire as it gets. A bit like a up tempo Blood Sweat & Tears or Chicago tune what with the Horns, Vocal harmonies and general funkiness of the song.
    Cheers.

    Craig Chaquico wrote the guitar and I believe bass parts for this song. He started recording with them as a teenager and they glued facial hair on him so he could play in clubs(underage). He also helped write, find your way back. He writes jazz new age stuff now that he's older, and it's also very good.

    I want to recommend a song to y'all -- while listening to my playlist today during yard work, I came across a jamming song similar to Jane.
    Satisfied -- by Richard Marx. I haven't seen many reactions to Marx. He is known mostly for his love songs and ballads, but he has a few pop-rock songs that are very good. And a couple of his slow songs are good, too. My favorite slow one is Endless Summer Nights. Beautiful melody. Romantic lyrics.

  • @oh8wingman

    Regarding when you were talking about the punch and force of the drums, the term used by drummers to describe it is the "Attack". A solid attack is when you really push it hard and forceful and in many cases you actually start to lead the bass instead of the other way around or act as an equal. Clever musicians can alternate back and forth between percussion being on the attack or the bass being the attacker. Getty Lee and Neil Peart from RUSH were masters of the alternating attack. Lynyrd Skynyrd also used hard attacks in some of their songs like Mr. Saturday Night Special.

    When they added Craig Chaquico and Mickey Thomas they became a different band. I call it The San Fransisco Sound. There were three notable bands from that area with a real similar vibe between 78-82 : Santana, Jefferson Starship and Journey. The key to the sound was the vocals Alex Ligertwood with Santana, Steve Perry with Journey and Mickey Thomas with Jefferson Starship all had that range that created that signature sound.

All FOUR albums went Platinum while the Mickey Thomas premier album Freedom at Point Zero only went Gold. 🤨 while Thomas may have a good voice,his talents aren't as good as Balin's IMHO.

    It’s not so much that we know you two so well that we know what you will like, and that’s what we suggest. It’s really about what WE LOVED to listen to when these songs came out on the radio. Radio DJ’s back then we’re Very in touch with their audience. And we, as listeners, had tremendous power back then, which we don’t have anymore. We could call the radio station and tell them what we wanted to hear. When a DJ would play something for the first time, people could call and request it again. And again. And again! We got great music because we had that relationship with the DJ’s….we don’t have that anymore. And so these decisions are being made FOR us now! Plus, record labels INVESTED in great bands over the long term. It cost them a lot to do that. They don’t invest like they used to.
