I met Mickey Thomas at a Club where they were suppose to play in San Antonio Texas. When i got to the club there was nobody there. I went up to the ticket booth and asked them if Starship was playing here tonite. They said yes. I bought 2 freakin tickets. They may have been the only tickets they sold. So me and my wife were waiting outside of the club by ourselves. Then all of a sudden a limo pulls up and we are thinking thats got to be Starship. Sure enough some guy gets out and talks to the people at the club, and was in there for about 20 mins or so. So me and my wife approached the limo and tapped on the back door. The door opens and its Mickey Thomas. He says are you guys here for the show. we said yes, but we dont know what happened to the people. He said it dont look good. So we introduced ourselves. He was happy to talk with us for a few minutes. I asked if he would autograph a CD cover for me, he said sure i ran to my car and got my CD and he autographed it. He shook our hands, and told us they were going to play in Austin the next day, so we went and got our money back at the booth, and went to Austin the next night. The show was great.

Steve Perry of Journey, Meat Loaf and Freddie Mercury of Queen who all sounded great live for the most part (everyone has a bad or off day) just like the studio version in there prime. I heard that sadly Meat Loaf pretty much all but lost his voice. I hope it ain't true but crap happens. I read that he didn't sing w/ any techniques which help to preserve the voice as well as sing good. He just straight sang. RIP Brad and Freddie.

Interesting how the 60's San Fransisco pyschedelic band Jefferson Airplane morphed into the mid 70's Jefferson Starship with the Martin Balin hit songs, and a soaring new guitarist Craig Chaquico. Then came the late 70's/early 80's version with power vocals from Georgia boy Mickey Thomas, (originally replacing both Balin and Grace Slick as the primary vocalist), two great additions from England in Pete Sears and Ansley Dunbar, the return of Grace, and as always, the founder, Paul Kantner and bassist Frieberg. Powerful band.Too bad things things got ugly around '85.

Excellent performance by musicians who are good at what they do! Definitely a contrast to many current musicians who need auto-tune and backing tracks. I only recently realized that the drummer, Aynsley Dunbar, has played on some of favorite bands/tracks that I learned on drums. He is also played with Zappa. Just listen to how he plays with authority when he comes in at 0:40 and 1:38. Too bad he never got to tour with Whitesnake for the Whitesnake album.
