I will say that whenever I hear this song on the radio I still crank it 45 years later!! Mickey has a great voice! But with that being said II will say that Steve & Lou are in my all time top 5 of male voices! Just way more songs that are incredible!
When I was young I said If I had a 3 wishes to change my voice like a rock star 3.Boston:Brad Delp 2.Foreigner:Lou Graham #1:Micky Thomas:Starship. I still try at 58 singing along to them in my truck 🚛 🤙🏼
For many years i wanted to see Starship and Mickey Thomas on concert. After a couple of missed opportunities my wife and I made it. The band did not disappoint and that was 3 years ago. Seems like yesterday.🙏😎
Saw them in concert in 80. Seen alot of concerts back then, and these guys and April Wine were easily the best live bands back then imo. They were just as good live if not better than their recordings.
I saw Jefferson Starship and Starship in the 80s. I just saw Starship with Mickey last week. Dude is 74 and still sounds like he did in the 80s. He's one of the only vocalists I can think of that still can sing like he used to in the old days. Great vocalist and band!
Just listened to a recent version of Mr. Thomas performing Fooled Around and Fell in Love live. His voice at 74 is incredible. His pipes defy gravity. To boot he looks fantastic which I hope denotes good health. Way to go Micko.
@@user-qr7ee2cp4y Always loved the Mockingbird, just a beautiful guitar. Actually before the video started I wondered to myself if he would be playing the Carvin star shaped guitar. As a teen I used to get the Carvin catalogs and always remembered Craig appearing all through it.
Craig has always been a "rock star" that I've admired. Regardless of which guitar he plays, however, there's definitely something sexy about a B.C. Rich Mockingbird! That's just beast of a guitar for certain.
Yes, Craig Chaquico is one of those people born to play rock guitar on stage. He's got the ability, good taste and he always looks the part. His solo work is really great too.
Great classic rock Jefferson airplane back when music was music this is an old video but I still love it and I love Jefferson airplane music rock on guys 🎶🎸🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶🎶🎵🎶🎸🎸🎶🎵🎸🎸🎵🎵🎸🎵🎸
Jefferson Starship is a group with a lot of amazing music 🎶 🎵 I don't think that they got the credit and recognition that they deserved 🎉🎉. They are the epitome of rock and roll 🎉🎉
Went to high school with Craig. Great start with our English teacher, Jack Traylor (Steelwind). My guitar teacher back in the day was Mr Schmit. Timmy's dad.
I went to see Jefferson starship/airplane. It was about 1996. They were great. They did starship and airplane tunes. What a flashback in time. Always loved this band.
We saw Mickey Thimas at are local Italian feast . Our city pays big money for the biggest stars every year . We saw him last year . He still sounds good as ever !
Wow, 84! He's up there with Bill Wyman (formerly of the Stones) for oldest of the musicians that brought us rock music in the mid-late 60's. The stories he must have to tell...more power to him.
Man, talk about sound track of my life. Back in HS when this song was all over the radio, I was broken hearted over my girlfriend's treatment of me. I remember leaving her house in the darkness and these lyrics coming to me. Of course her name was Jane. Cant hear it without all that coming back in a rush.
Oh yes that brings back some memories, but now I know that time of our lives was our learning relationship 101. And the other big one was trying my best to not get an erection every time I saw a girl. 5 kids later I figured it out. And I still listen to Micky Thomas @ 75 and it makes me feel young again.
Let's time travel to fall/winter 1979. Ninth grade, today is gym class. It's indoors because it's cold in Ohio, and this week we're playing table tennis. I'm not very athletic but it's a fun class because the teacher is nice enough to let us have a radio on. This guitar solo starts and I'm watching the guy I have a huge crush on play air guitar ❤🎸
I saw them in 1979. Royal Oak music Theatre. Royal Oak Michigan. I was invited by my girlfriend to go to the show. I didn’t know anything about it. But when they performed this song, I was blown away, and I have been a fan ever since
Just discovering this song by them and honestly it is incredible to me how this group emerged and evolved into the 80s , which is how I first discovered them. And that this song is easily one of their finest works and only has 4K views on TH-cam. Sometimes it’s the lesser known stuff that is the gold mine. Now I get to go back and enjoy these iconic tunes that evoke a totally different style, a raw one with zero filters or effects other than the power of the instruments and voices themselves.
STARSHIP will be playing on Long Island in 2 weeks free concert on the beach I can't wait to see this because I know Mickey Thomas's vocals I'm going to be insane❤❤❤
All these decades later, I still can’t get over how great of a banger this song is. 🎸🎹🥁🎤 I wonder if Mr. Kantner and Ms. Slick ever saw the irony of how Jefferson Airplane renamed and evolved to become an arena-rock counterpoint to its early self.
Mickey Thomas is CRIMINALLY underated as a singer.
Pipes of gold! Still to this day.
Pretty freaking epic ain't he 😮
he is good. u know its him when he sings thats a good thing
I think he got some recognition in the 80’s, Sara etc.
Mate, I hear ya brother! He makes it look so easy.
Yep. I've had people the love the way 'Elvin Bishop' sang "Fooled around"..... Sigh.
The fact you searched this song and scrolled through the comments makes you cooler than you think you are !!
Thanks! You just have to really dig deep and hard and deal with whatever you pull out and release...
I feel you, Catriona.
Saw them on this tour. Righteous.
Nice ! I feel better now
Yes, yes I am…(smile)
Mickey Thomas deserves to be in the conversation of greatest rock vocalist along with the likes of Steve Perry and Freddie Mercury
❤💯
Freddie! No others!
@@csw166 Freddie! No others!
Robin Zander and Lou Graham also

Lou Gramm ;)
These are my three favorite voices, too. How I'd wish to reach their vocal strength in such high tones!
I thought Bobby Kimball in early Toto had a great tone and range as well. But theres no denying Mickys voice doesnt shine...especially here!
You know he's the voice behind "Fooled Around and Fell in Love" as well.
@@crupert23225 thats Elvin Bishop
BACK WHEN ROCK WAS THE BEST!!!!! Great Voices!!!
Heck yeah 😊
Craig Chacquico, much underappreciated guitarist!
Seriously, he's awesome!
If you didn't know he did some solo material also.@@disseminationnetwork
Incredible guitarist
Joe Bonamasso should give him his Les Paul back.
He proves it off the rip with a screaming solo here in this song.
Its worth being older now , to have been young then, great era of music 🍻🎸
Great song number one hits 1979 great masterpiece 4/13/2024❤🎉
Mickey Thomas is one of the most underrated rock singer’s ever!!Aloha from Hawaii🤙🏽
His range is unequaled in music! He still hits those notes, which just amazes me
@@Jamestele1 *her
@@danielbauer9027*his I believe Mickey Thomas (John Michael Thomas) is the lead vocalist on this song.
Agreed!
@@mrs.dinahsaur7195 I got to see Mickey Thomas perform with Starship in 1987 at the Lahaina Civic Center and the Gregg Allman Band opened🤙🏽
Anybody ever notice this is the same piano part Aldo Nova uses in his song , Fantasy from a couple years later?
For many years i wanted to see Starship and Mickey Thomas on concert. After a couple of missed opportunities my wife and I made it. The band did not disappoint and that was 3 years ago. Seems like yesterday.🙏😎
That dude can flat out sing.
Probably one of the best vocalists of all time! Definitely one of the most underrated!
saw them live ur right whata voice!
What’s his rating?
I agree. On almost every live performance he is flawless. On par with Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin.
@@jeffhatmaker817plant😂😂
Unrecognized would be a better word. Just sayin
I don't know who has a higher voice Grace Slick or Mickey Thomas. Classic.
Just when everyone thought Jefferson Starship were done after Marty left. Mickey walked in.
This man can sing like no other. Mickey is one of the greats!
He was awlright…..till he fooled around and fell in love.
No filters or auto tune. He's the sh*t.
More Cowbell !!!
Late 70s Gold JANE
Grace knew she was gone. Too bad ballsy chick.
Still blown away by Mickey's voice, especially in this song
Those days are gone..............we have our memories!
What days they were!
Indeed.
In my opinion this is the best one ever recorded by Jefferson Starship A real masterpiece
I have to agree. One of the best songs for me of all time.
🤙🏻
the song miracles is better and the singer Marty Balin was better to
👍👍💯💯
Saw them in concert in 80.

Huge range, makes me feel like I have throat cancer if I ever tried that.
Unbelievably …so can Mike Reno from Loverboy. Don’t look the same, but sure sounds the same. Saw them this past summer. Unbelievable.
Check out Graham Bonnet. He sounds the same as he did in the early 80s.
@deerseed Yes, Graham is great! I saw him back in the day with Alcatraz.
A powerful song-Mickey Thomas can reach those high notes with no problem at all.
MICKEY THE GREAT ONE! NEVER TO BE IMITATED OR DUPLICATED BY ANYONE! A CLASS OF ONE!
What a time to grow up with these powerhouse male vocalists. Mickey Thomas. Steve Perry. Dennis de Young. Geddy Lee.
Forgot Brad Delp
And Robert Plant!
@@michaelpowelljr.7963true! I forgot Led Zeppelin! 🎉
Great Band!!!! Takes me Back!!!!! Im 70, still Rock n Roll!!!!!!!!!!! Till ☠️💀☠️🖤!!!!!!!
Well good for you. Try not to break anything.
He brought this band back!
It's crazy how this band sounded so 60s in the 60s, so 70s in the 70s, and so 80s in the 80s.
Two power house voices of all time in the Rock music industry 💯 Grace Slick & Mickey Thomas ….
Mick & Slick! Saw them in the 80s in Lake Tahoe, I think once at Caesars when they were Starship and once when it was Jefferson Starship❤❤
This is back when singers could really sing live..
Beyonce and Taylor Swift are even better singers
@richardgardiner; Beyonce is good but Swift? God no.
Yep & no auto tune.
Grace Slick, one of the Queens of Rock n Roll.
She is the queen. She inherited that title when Janis Joplin passed.
4:20
This is one Jane I can never get enough of!!!
Thanks for posting this song
They sound just as good they sounded in the recording studio. Extremely impressive.
Freshly Squeezed!
Mickey and Grace. Powerhouse singers.
All time classic rock!!!
So freaking good! This song still gets me out of my seat! Whoa!!!
I love it, I miss good rock.
Craig's guitar work is perfect here.
Pretty sweet B.C. rich mockingbird he's playing too.
@@user-qr7ee2cp4y Always loved the Mockingbird, just a beautiful guitar.

@@frogstomp11I almost bought a Carvin amp back in the 70's, I used to get the catalog too. I did have a BC Rich Mockingbird though. 🎶

Killer execution of a killer song....lead singer is wicked good
Steve….are you by chance from the wicked pissah state of MA?
Mickey Thomas, how can you be a fan of the song/band and not know who he is? lmao
No auto tune.Mickey Thomas is straight up fantastic.
Mickey and Gracie, beautiful, natural and powerful singing voices. Young ones today have no idea what real talent is. It's a shame
Pay attention kids, these are musicians, they actually read and play music and no auto tune or creative computer generated BS
This is a great song it gets my blood pumping.
Great classic rock Jefferson airplane back when music was music this is an old video but I still love it and I love Jefferson airplane music rock on guys 🎶🎸🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶🎶🎵🎶🎸🎸🎶🎵🎸🎸🎵🎵🎸🎵🎸
This tune never gets old
Mickey Thomas had the VOICE!
One of the best 70s songs Jane
Like Steve Perry, just hit the perfect notes live!
Jefferson Starship is a group with a lot of amazing music 🎶 🎵 I don't think that they got the credit and recognition that they deserved 🎉🎉. They are the epitome of rock and roll 🎉🎉
Way ahead of their time.
@@davidb3702 What, they were ahead of 1966?
Ahh, yes. JANE JANE JANE!!!!! My favorite song!!!!! I love my plain name.
Saw this lineup in Sept of '82. Mickey sounded even better live
Man they sound tight! Peak Starship for me!
Lip sync
Who recognizes his voice from Fooled Around and Fell in Love from Elvin Bishop ? This man can sing.
Every time i hear this song, i want to put a denim jacket on, some sunglasses and give thumbs up to people
Awesome Band
Awesome Song
AWESOMENESS!!!!❤
this song is so incredible ❤ -
First concert I went to back in 1980 was to see Jefferson starship..I was 17 years old
I slept with this song on a 45. My father would come in my room and turn it off I woke up and started it over again. Night after night.
Went to high school with Craig. Great start with our English teacher, Jack Traylor (Steelwind). My guitar teacher back in the day was Mr Schmit. Timmy's dad.
Timmy, as in Timothy B.? Pretty cool, if so.
I went to see Jefferson starship/airplane. It was about 1996. They were great. They did starship and airplane tunes. What a flashback in time. Always loved this band.
We saw Mickey Thimas at are local Italian feast . Our city pays big money for the biggest stars every year . We saw him last year . He still sounds good as ever !
Wow great live version.
I always wanted to do this one. Love Mickey.
Same here brother. Nothings better than GOOD OLE ROCK . I'm 61 and still dance to this song
Right on. I'm 67 and the lady is 63 and we still rock to these.
Good for you. Try not to break anything.
60’’s-70’s & 80’s best music!
One of the greatest rock songs ever written. It’s perfect.
Mickey and Brad Delp....the two best to ever do it.
His soaring tenor is so effortless
Those notes he hits before the guitar lead are just insanity
Great job ... nice , clean Live version ! ₩
A big fan from the very early days in the 1960's, this band would end up coming back every 5 or so years with a great song, like this one
Nobody can match Mickey Thomas !! Hands down.
💯
WHEN MUSIC WAS MUSIC ! !
How does this song not have over 20m views?
This is a rocking ball busting ballad. Thomas is just badassed to rip one like Jane out with such ferver and absolute vocal perfection
A quintessential 80s rock classic! Awesome live version! ❤❤❤
Pretty impressive for a song released in 1978.
A lot of talent on that stage !!!!
Kids nowadays don't know what talent is.
Good ole David Freiberg on bass (originally from Quicksilver). 84 yo and still rockin with the Jefferson Starship 👏
Wow, 84! He's up there with Bill Wyman (formerly of the Stones) for oldest of the musicians that brought us rock music in the mid-late 60's. The stories he must have to tell...more power to him.
Excellent live version, new on me, awesome! 🎸
agree
He built that mustache on rock n roll.
Effortless.
🔥
Lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thats verys funny! Little hard on us rockers that can't grow one.
I first saw Mickey Thomas in 1981 when Elvin Bishop opened for ZZ Top. Such a tremendous voice! He was a great addition to Starship.
Was he with Elvin Bishop then? I the was in Jefferson Starship since 1979
He left Elvin Bishop in 1978. He debuted with JS a year later on this very song.
@@andypaulus9420 Mickey sang lead on Fooled Around and Fell in Love in 1975.

unless you are under 55-60 you couldn't have missed "Jane" in 1979. It was everywhere. By far the best thing they did.
He also sang ,Fooled around and fell in Love with Elvin Bishop Band ,His Best Song!!!

Might have happened when they cashed the checks
That comments makes no sense. Those guys played Woodstock.
@@guitarslim56 Which comments?
I know for a fact Paul did, I’m not sure about Grace though.
@@guitarslim56 Don't be a dumb ass all your miserable life, ok? Bands, all bands are in it for the fucking money. I guess you've never been in a band.
Jane was undoubtedly impressed🎉🎉❤
Grace Slick forever !!!!!!!!!
Best ERA ever, Mickey has the chops.....
I’m not even 30 and I’ve been listening to them since I was 6 . Jefferson airplane - starship is my shit
Saw Mickey Thomas at the NYS fair. In his 70s he is still just as good as he was in his 30s. Totally mind boggling. Check out the video from 2021
