@JadeK297 ....... You are correct. He was Bostons lead singer and most of the old live recordings were bad concert goer recordings that were terrible. If you would like to hear his voice in its clearest live recording, search YT for Rick Beato listens to either "Boston" or "Brad Delp" or "More than a feeling" where he has the vocal recording track with no effects and listen to his true range...Its amazing.
The reason why it sounds so cool at the end is because it's Grace Slick and Mickey Thomas harmonizing. A good example of the two of them sharing vocals is Winds Of Change
Don't know if you guys caught this in this video. Grace Slick had left the band in '78 to deal with some substance abuse issues. In fact she was asked to leave by Jeff Kantner, she returned in '81. At the end of the video they have the picture of all the guys in the band and then they add her photo. "Find your way back, to her heart"
One of the reasons why Mickey Thomas was brought into the group was because while Grace was gone he could handle her vocals. After Grace came back they kept Mickey because of his incredible talent. Mickey didn't always get along with the others in the band, the drummer broke Mickey's nose during an altercation.
What I find amazing about music (songs) is that still 40+ years later, I can still remember every chord, sound and nuance of a song like this. The music, the vocals, everything. Music is amazing that way!!
It's not that Jefferson Starship was ahead of their time with their stadium-rocking late seventies/early eighties sound. It's that they wrote songs that fit right in with whatever era they were in, and this 1981 hit is one of them.
I love Runaway. Marty's voice was the best. He was a great painter, as well. Absolutely amazed by his portrait of Garcia. which reminds me, they still need to hear the studio version of The Wheel. Easily the most soulful steel guitar.
@@georgewallerlll496 I actually like Winds of Chage better than Find Your Way Back, but Stranger, Jane, Winds of Change, and Find Your Way Back are my Top 4.
You gotta hear their song, Stranger. It's from this same album and it's a duet with Mickey Thomas and Grace Slick. It was her return to the band after being gone for a few years.
The video for this song is most definitely early '80's MTV cannon. And, wow, what a gem of a gem of song it is. The lyrics, vocals and sound are audio poetry
I won backstage passes to their show in 1986. I got to hang out with Grace Slick, Mickey Thomas and the rest of the band. I can't say that I was a huge fan at that time, but it was definitely a fun evening!
I've been a fan of this band since its Incarnation back in 1965 of the Jefferson Airplane. Amber.. you were very succinct in your observation that this band has always had a futuristic and ahead of its time vibe. Mickey Thomas and Grace Slick each had the ability to blast the stratosphere with their amazing vocal range. I saw this incarnation of the band in concert many times and they were always fabulous and on point. The last time I saw the original members of the band was in the Jefferson Airplane reunion concert tour of 1989. After this tour Grace Slick officially retired. Amber you may enjoy a tune off of the EARTH album called "Love too good". A very Soulful submission by Grace.
Also from this album you should check out Stranger. From the next album Winds Of Change the title track and Be My Lady. If you want something different check out the title trsck to Grace Slicks solo album Dreams.
Lead singer on this song, Mickey Thomas, sang the lead on 'Fooled Around and Fell in Love' by Elvin Bishop. Think you reacted to that a while back. Great voice!
Lead singer Micky Thomas has an amazing voice. He did this song with Elvin Bishop called Fooled Around And Fell In Love. I think you guys would like it. Grace had a nick name called the acid queen cause she regularly took the drug. She was planning to put some under her finger nail and slip it into President Nixons tea but she never did.
Jefferson Starship “Modern Times’ album is one of those all time classic albums. Stranger, Save Your Love, Stairway to Cleveland and of course, Find Your Way Back are amazing songs.
As I recall, Paul Kantor had fired Grace after an incident in a concert. This song was her return to the band, which fans didn't know until she turned up in the video.
This song was penned by the guy with the double necked guitar, Craig Chaquico. He ventured into smooth jazz & redid this instumentally. Been listening him for years.
Mickey Thomas goes so under appreciated in these reaction videos. He’s there belting out into the stratosphere with his beautiful clear powerful vocals and they’re talking about the bass player. Mickey was never flashy, he made up for it with his voice. He sang in church and you can hear that southern influence.
My favorite from the same album is Stranger. Every time I hear the opening bassline's first few notes which to me sounds so much like the opener for The Knack's My Sharona that it's almost disappointing to me if it's not Stranger. Not that I don't like My Sharona, but Stranger doesn't get enough air play as I'd like it too. The basslines might not be exactly the same but they're pretty close. Not trying to give out a spoiler but give it a listen and tell me if you agree.
ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED SINGERS IN CLASSIC ROCK HISTORY 🎤🎼 I PUT HIM IN MY TOP TEN WITH STEVE PERRY, ROBERT PLANT, PAUL ROGERS, FREDDIE MERCURY, LOU GRAMM, DENNIS DEYOUNG RICK EMMITT, TERRY KATH( CHICAGO AND ALSO ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED GUTARISTS) AND RONNIE JAMES DIO.....
Thanks for doing this song! JS had a number of great songs in the early '80s, but almost no one reacts to them. "Stranger" is another great track from this era.
I really like Jefferson Starship. My favorite is “Stranger”. I think y’all would really dig that one. It has a great drum and bass groove. Thanks for this reaction as well. Great song.
The great Ansley Dunbar on drums From Jimi , Frank Zappa, David Bowie, Journey, Starship , Whitesnake and dozens & dozens more. He’s so damn good. 🎤drop.
💯% brother Just listen to the Journey song “Cookie Duster”. I’ve attempted but not very well tried to play Cookie Duster without much proficiency. 😂😂 “Find your way Back” I got that
Jay & Amber, you'll love Jefferson Starship's "Count On Me" and "Play On Love" !!!! Jefferson Starship was the best of the 3 iterations of this band IMO. The two songs I suggested have Marty Balin on lead vocals, who sang "Miracles" which you reacted to.
It's funny thinking back to seeing Starship in '88 at Riverfest in St. Paul and then almost 20 years later I went to the same location for Taste Of Minnesota and Grace's daughter was singing with her dad for Jefferson Airplane and the music was twenty years older than what I heard in '88. RIP Paul Kantner.
Okay guys you have to play Good Heart from Starship…it was officially the last song they did. It’s also the last song on their greatest hits album. It is an amazing song and I promise you will absolutely love it!!! Please please I am one your biggest fans and watch everyday and have been subscribed since the beginning 😊
Love this song, gives me goosebumps hearing it. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I had forgotten about his one. Woo Hoo! Good one. One of my favorites is "I Don't Know Why," which is a "Starship" tune featuring Grace Slick on lead vocals.
I saw Thomas perform with Elvin Bishop back in the mid 70's at the Oasis Ballroom in Sacramento. Both Thomas and Slick are great singers and together they are superb. Marty Balin of the airplane was also a great singer.
Hey Fredrick, Eskimo Blue Day, Wooden Ships. I think Jefferson Airplanes version of Wooden Ships is better than CSN's. Besides, Crosby, and Stills are on it.
Mickey Thomas' vocals are under appreciated. He can still belt it out.
Great pipes
.... and he sings just as good live as he does in studio
He certainly doesn't get the plaudits he deserves and much like Brad Delp and John Farnham who had incredible voices.
His range and pitch are immediately recognizable! One of the great voices in music.
@@ibrstellar1080 And don't get me started on "Fooled Around and Fell in Love" being credited to Elvin Bishop.
Mickey Thomas never gets mentioned along with Perry, Walsh, Delp, Mercury, Gramm, etc...He most definitely should!!
I would agree that he should be recognized for his vocal range....But.....
None of them holds a candle to Brad Delp....He stands alone.
🎯🎯🎯👍🏻
@@nozzlechief36is Brad delp the singer from Boston? If so I have yet to find an amazing live performance from him. I’m always left disappointed.
@JadeK297 ....... You are correct. He was Bostons lead singer and most of the old live recordings were bad concert goer recordings that were terrible. If you would like to hear his voice in its clearest live recording, search YT for Rick Beato listens to either "Boston" or "Brad Delp" or "More than a feeling" where he has the vocal recording track with no effects and listen to his true range...Its amazing.
Agreed.
This and Jane are my favorites.
"No Way Out" (Mickey Thomas lead vocal) is definitely one of their better ones, as is "Runaway" (Marty Balin lead vocals on this 70s version)
Jane and No Way Out are TOPS
Stranger and winds of change also are real good
Same 😊🙏🏻
Mary is also a good one!
The reason why it sounds so cool at the end is because it's Grace Slick and Mickey Thomas harmonizing. A good example of the two of them sharing vocals is Winds Of Change
Yes, "Winds of Change" is a must!
Winds of Change or Hyperdrive off of Dragonfly!!
any time those two incredible voices harmonize its heaven on earth!
Also "Stranger"!
@@Mark-zu6oz "Stranger" is a MUST!!!
Mickey Thomas has always been one of the great unsung vocalists in Rock.
Mickey also sang Fooled Around and Fell In Love with Elvin Bishop
I got to see Elvin Bishop with Charlie Musselwhite a couple years ago at the San Diego County Fair. They were great!
This song is magic. Hearing this on an FM radio laying in my bed at night with nothing but the green glow of the display....magic
Ah, those good old days of lying in bed and letting your local FM rock station take you on an amazing journey.
@@Paulzuzu 😊I agree with you dude
"I'd sit alone and watch your light, my only friend through teenage nights."
Grace: STILL BEAUTIFUL at 84!! ...and PAINTS, now!!
She ain't what she used to be, but nobody can deny that she's the hottest 84 year old, ever.
Not
Can’t deny she still has a sharp wit. And those eyes of fire.
This era of the band has this, 'Jane', 'Stranger' and "Winds Of Change" as my FAVORITES!
his name is mickey thomas he was in the elvin bishop group
Yes, he sang lead vocals on "Fooled Around and Fell in Love".
Don't know if you guys caught this in this video. Grace Slick had left the band in '78 to deal with some substance abuse issues. In fact she was asked to leave by Jeff Kantner, she returned in '81. At the end of the video they have the picture of all the guys in the band and then they add her photo. "Find your way back, to her heart"
I think you mean Paul Kantner...who was Slick's husband & father of their only daughter. Love this one..."Jane" is their ultimate tho!!!!
@@Anniearchy oh man. My bad. Yes I did. Not sure where Jeff came from. Senior moment
That’s awesome! I didn’t know that. I love Grace Slick, she is 🔥
One of the reasons why Mickey Thomas was brought into the group was because while Grace was gone he could handle her vocals. After Grace came back they kept Mickey because of his incredible talent. Mickey didn't always get along with the others in the band, the drummer broke Mickey's nose during an altercation.
Mickey was brought in to replace Marty Balin who left for a lot of reasons. Grace left at the same time to deal with her alcohol demons.
"No way out" is another one from this time period. Give it a listen.
I was just about to post the same song! I`ve always loved it!
What I find amazing about music (songs) is that still 40+ years later, I can still remember every chord, sound and nuance of a song like this. The music, the vocals, everything. Music is amazing that way!!
Was.
It's not that Jefferson Starship was ahead of their time with their stadium-rocking late seventies/early eighties sound. It's that they wrote songs that fit right in with whatever era they were in, and this 1981 hit is one of them.
Love this song. The history of Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, and Starship is amazing.
Not sure if you’ve done it already, but 1978 Jefferson Starship song, “Runaway “ is a vocal masterpiece in my humble opinion 😁
Play Jane next by Jefferson Airplane. Rocking rift
Any song from them in the 70s were FANTASTIC Jane my Favirte
@@brianshertzer1327Marty Balin was Jefferson Starship’s best male singer and a great songwriter!
@@brianshertzer1327 They did Jane already
I'm a big fan of 'Find Your Way Back', but 'Runaway' is my favorite by them. One of the best songs released in a great year -- 1978!
Check out some more of their songs when Marty Balin was one lead like - runaway, count on me, with your love
I love Runaway. Marty's voice was the best. He was a great painter, as well. Absolutely amazed by his portrait of Garcia. which reminds me, they still need to hear the studio version of The Wheel. Easily the most soulful steel guitar.
I've loved this song since it was released in 1981, I was 14 years old, today I'm 57 and it continues to be one of my favorites.
Love this jam & "Jane" but "Stranger" is my favorite ✌💖☮
100% yes! Stranger is such a good song! My favorite, too!
"Stranger" is my favorite also...
Stranger is definitely my favorite Jefferson Starship song, with this and Jane a close 2nd and 3rd!
@@georgewallerlll496 I actually like Winds of Chage better than Find Your Way Back, but Stranger, Jane, Winds of Change, and Find Your Way Back are my Top 4.

You gotta hear their song, Stranger. It's from this same album and it's a duet with Mickey Thomas and Grace Slick. It was her return to the band after being gone for a few years.
The natural echo at the end of this song is incredible !!
AWESOME SONG!! " Familiar Stranger" and "No Way Out " are excellent Starship videos too
I love the whole album!
I remember when this song came out. I loved it and still do.
You are right to say they are great! The legacy is true! THe music is pure!
The video for this song is most definitely early '80's MTV cannon. And, wow, what a gem of a gem of song it is. The lyrics, vocals and sound are audio poetry
One of my all time faves...
"I know it's too late now, but I wish I could go back in time, and get it right, from the start..."
Same.
My very first concert was this band. August 1986. Love them.
I won backstage passes to their show in 1986. I got to hang out with Grace Slick, Mickey Thomas and the rest of the band. I can't say that I was a huge fan at that time, but it was definitely a fun evening!

fired Grace after an incident in a concert. This song was her return to the band, which fans didn't know until she turned up in the video.
If I remember correctly, Grace said she fired herself, according to her autobiography. Both perspectives might be true!
This song was penned by the guy with the double necked guitar, Craig Chaquico. He ventured into smooth jazz & redid this instumentally. Been listening him for years.

This song makes Jefferson Starship sound like the Canadian band Triumph. Two more awesome JS songs are "No Way Out" and "It's Not Enough".
Stranger by them is fantastic. Great guitar work on that one. Highly recommend it.
"Stranger" is my favorite...
Love it. If you get a chance listen to Strangers bass drums are killer, amazing guitar solo and of course great vocals
My favorite from the same album is Stranger. Every time I hear the opening bassline's first few notes which to me sounds so much like the opener for The Knack's My Sharona that it's almost disappointing to me if it's not Stranger.

Not trying to give out a spoiler but give it a listen and tell me if you agree.
Their hit "Run Away" sung by Marty is a gem worth checking out 💎
ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED SINGERS IN CLASSIC ROCK HISTORY 🎤🎼 I PUT HIM IN MY TOP TEN WITH STEVE PERRY, ROBERT PLANT, PAUL ROGERS, FREDDIE MERCURY, LOU GRAMM, DENNIS DEYOUNG RICK EMMITT, TERRY KATH( CHICAGO AND ALSO ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED GUTARISTS) AND RONNIE JAMES DIO.....
One of my what I call "soul- favorite " songs. Just brings back magical moments!❤😊
Cranking this song up while cruising back in the day!
Leave a message with the rain. You can find me where the wind blows.
This song rocks.
My favorite Starship song!
I got to see them in 1981 at Busch Gardens Virginia!! They were AWESOME!!!
Jay & Amber: Your next Jefferson Starship song reaction should be Stranger. You'll love it. It rocks.
Thanks for doing this song! JS had a number of great songs in the early '80s, but almost no one reacts to them. "Stranger" is another great track from this era.
This really is excellent by them, try Cant Find Love for another great effort from them
Craig Chaquico’s guitar work on “Runaway” from 1978 is 💯🔥🤙🏽😎
I really like Jefferson Starship. My favorite is “Stranger”. I think y’all would really dig that one. It has a great drum and bass groove.
Thanks for this reaction as well. Great song.
Great song! Another one to check out from Jefferson Starship is "Stranger"!. Jay will definitely love the bass line!
Good memories ... 1982, here in Brazil. Great song !
Great song!! Stranger is a must and keep up the great work!!!
One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands, they were great
Forgot how good this song was 👍🏽
The great Ansley Dunbar on drums
From Jimi , Frank Zappa, David Bowie, Journey, Starship , Whitesnake and dozens & dozens more.
He’s so damn good. 🎤drop.
Fantastic AND under appreciated drummer.
💯% brother
Just listen to the Journey song “Cookie Duster”.
I’ve attempted but not very well tried to play Cookie Duster without much proficiency. 😂😂
“Find your way Back” I got that
This was definitely a top hit song. They became regulars at Iowa State Fair…it was so great! Fun group
Other great tracks from this era of starship are "stranger" and "winds of change"
Try “stranger” by these guys. Jay, you’d dig the bass!
Yeah! This was a Banger on the radio - Volume UP!
Classic! This song was always on rock radio in the 80s and 90s!
JUST like Jane did in the 70s
An underrated band imo. They've had some of the SF Bay Areas' best musicians in the lineup over a 50 year period.
Always been my favorite Starship song. Treat reaction as always
Stranger is another banger from them.
Love this song,turn it up all way!
"Stranger" from this same album is excellent too.
Mickey Thomas is the vocalist. He's one of the best...
One of my favorites by them❤❤❤
Nobody ever mentions the WORLD CLASS GUITARIST 🎸 Craig Chaqico who was with the band for a long time. Amazing guitarist with his own career!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Check out “Winds of Change” and “Stranger” 😇 “Ride The Tiger” as well !!!
You have got to review “Stranger” by Jefferson Starship
Mickey Thomas has an AMAZING voice!
Jay & Amber, you'll love Jefferson Starship's "Count On Me" and "Play On Love" !!!!

All right my babies....Yes‼️‼️‼️ I've seen this band 4 times and Micky solo once. Incredible performances for sure ‼️💯🔥🎤😁👍🏻
Stranger is a great song!
Stranger from the same album is a good one or Count On Me.
STARSHIP ROCK! 🔥
Love this band

God I wish I could go back when this was released. Such a great time.
Was even better in the 70s
This is one of my favorite rock songs, maybe Top 10-15 for me all-time in terms of the “rock” music genre. It’s a pretty awesome song!
Saw them in concert 2016 really cool. Heard this but my partner siad i dont remember this but i did. Such a cool song, one of my favorites by them.
Mickey Thomas and that craazzzyy power-high range..Sure did put some extra punch in the band.

Check out their song “Stranger”! If you liked find your way back, then you will like it too.
Hey Fredrick, Eskimo Blue Day, Wooden Ships. I think Jefferson Airplanes version of Wooden Ships is better than CSN's. Besides, Crosby, and Stills are on it.
Amber you absolutely nailed the vibe for me. I dig
Mickey Thomas can sing a razor line! "Jane" showcases a similar performance.
Love this song!
Great band (Mickey Thomas era). Seeing them in concert for the first time in a few months. Can't wait!
It's about time you got around to "Find Your Way Back". Next up should be "Stranger" and "Winds of Change".
Such a great band!!! So unique. And more than 1 great singer!!
I'm so glad you played this toon thank you love it great thanks 😊
Jefferson Starship - "Stranger"
Great song! Hadn’t heard it in years so thanks for bringing back those memories.
