THOSE VOCALS ARE STRAIGHT 🔥

[@13_13k]

In my opinion, as someone who prides himself on my musical taste and knowledge, that this song is one of THE greatest rock songs of all times. It got some recognition and a lot of air play on the radio at the time it came out but it is far more incredible than most songs that got more attention. It is incredibly written, performed and produced. It has everything a timeless hit needs to be immortalized.

[@13_13k]

@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee --- you are correct about the duration of songs like Jane and the time that it came out. Music was starting to go through a change that not many believed would be as huge and impacting as it turned out to be. Rock bands of the 70s, found themselves going from arenas to being mocked and called dinosaur rock all within just a couple of years. There are other songs by other bands of that time that I feel the same way about like Stone Cold and Can't Happen Here both by Rainbow. I am a product of living through that era at that prime age. Born in '65 youngest of four, listening to classic album rock from very young, like six or seven yrs old listening to my siblings albums, Zeppelin, Stones, Bowie, Sabbath, Floyd, The Who, Yes, etc... . Also growing up in the heart of Los Angeles, I was 15 in 1980 and things were being stirred up in the music business. Punk, post punk, new wave, funk, rap, were all causing people to abandon their rock roots, for a few years if not forever. So those songs like Jane and other really really great songs that normally would have had longevity were shelved by radio stations, fans, the labels and sometimes the bands themselves. Thanks for your reply to my comment. It was dead on and thought provoking.

[@nicefish10]

Anything Mickey Thomas sings Rules……I have worked shows with him many times. Beast of a vocalist and always a total pro.

[@Laniefj]

Miracles and Count On Me are two of my favorites by them. Great band!!

[@brewswillis9783]

Marty Balin (RIP) was a legend for sure!

[@user-uh2xg1vc2o]

Yes! Count on me is a Great song. Perfect choice 👍🏻

[@melissaw704]

Yes, and I would add ‘Runaway’.

[@cawilson5357]

One of the best song in music history. It is in my top ten of all time great songs. Everything is so prefect.

[@CodeBleu724]

If you thought he knocked it out of the park on Elvin Bishop's "Fooled Around And Fell In Love" back in '76...no wonder Paul Kantner picked Mickey up for Jefferson Starship when Marty left.

[@larrylawson2912]

I was 16 in 67, and had been playing guitar for only two years when Jefferson Airplane came out with Sombody to Love. I still love this song today as much as I did when it first came out. It was a great example of 60s psychedelic. I grew up listening to the greatest rock music ever recorded. I'm old as fuck, but at least I'm not a teen today listening to the dog they now call music.

[@KC-ns9do]

Runaway, Miracles, Count on Me and JANE. ❤🔥

[@tracycampbell3060]

All the above! 👍

[@cindyspears5369]

I suggest "Miracles". The LONG version (with the naughty bits)😂 Well naughty back in the day, probably seems tame these days😁🎉

[@lynnhoffman247]

LOL…truth 😂😊

[@DM-hk4cw]

Toto did have an influence on this song. Starship heard " Hold the Line" and knew the keyboard intro and "chunka chunka" riff of Lukather on guitar was a great combination. " Jane" was their version, so to speak, of "Hold the Line" "Jane" is a certified rock classic.

[@Jessica_Roth]

This is actually Mickey Thomas's debut album with the group. Jefferson Starship had lost both of their previous lead singers on their 1978 tour: Grace Slick's alcohol issues had gotten out of control, and after having to finish the tour doing all the lead work, Marty Balin was stressed out and tired of touring and quit. (Grace came back for one song on the next album and full time after that. Marty stayed solo.) Plus they'd just lost their drummer, John Barbata, who had also been in The Turtles and Crosby Stills Nash & Young. John was in a major car wreck, needed a year to recover and decided to quit music. Fortunately, Aynsley Dunbar had just quit Journey, so the bigger San Francisco group was glad to scoop him up. With the addition of Mickey Thomas, and with guitarist Craig Chaquico feeling the band had something to prove and ready to cut loose, the stage was set. And they pretty much burned it down. Whole album rocks. (Once rhythm guitarist Paul Kantner leaves [and sues to take the "Jefferson" with him, the reconfigured "Starship" gets more poppy and ballady, but Mickey still has those pipes, as you yourself have found.)

[@vickiroman189]

If this is not perfection, I don't know what is.

[@joymiller338]

I remember where I was and what I was doing when I heard this song the first time. My boyfriend and I had just pulled into my driveway, the song started on the radio as I drove and parked the car and we just sat there dumbfounded, listening until it was over. We both looked at each other and said who the hell was that... did some research and discovered it was off of Starship's latest album which featured Mickey Thomas, their new male vocalist who replaced Marty Balin. It was magic. BTW, check out the video... Craig Chaquico on guitar just shreds on the solo. While there are lots of guitarists that "dance" with their guitar, none can compete with Chaquico and this solo. JS

[@suemiller9458]

LOVE every second of this song. So jazzed when I saw it coming up. Mickey Thomas is amazing. Kind of surprised y’all have never heard this. But you have now.

[@justingutube]

You guys have old souls, I love this kind of music man and you find some hidden treasures. Much love. Miracles is my fave from these guys but this is clsssic!

[@CarlaKane-fy7xg]

In 1980 I went to Golden Gate Park with my friends and Starship were setting up on a wood stage out on the grass. Pop up concert. Maybe a couple hundred people around. It was crazy amazing. They played for a while and then left. Played Jane. Random and memorable.

[@jeffcobb2734]

Great song. "Find Your Way Back" is another Jefferson Starship banger. Equally fire.

[@daleclark7127]

What vocals!!!

[@gesundheit602]

That fire solo is played by guitarist Craig Chaquico, who played with Jefferson Starship and Starship from 1974- 1990. Every member of that band was an amazing musician.

yaaaa but jane is 70s

[@keithrobertson9075]

Great tune! I still find myself bellowing the lyrics in the car when this song comes on. And the guitar riffs are Top-shelf!

[@lisaeddins5291]

The live version is really fun to watch....

[@stevedahlberg8680]

From a mixed point of view though, I thought the keyboard was done perfectly because it needs to at least have a bit of an edge to it to cut through the mix on all the layers pile up and then it just gets exposed there briefly every now and then and it works because it's so percussive. I actually love it. Would I like it for an extended solo? Maybe, maybe not, just depends on who was playing it and what they were doing with it. To my ears, it is the ideal mixing and tracking choice for this situation.

[@Mike990920]

I had the privilege of seeking them perform this live. Their precision and excellence was cosmic!! I think you’d also like the song “Miracles” though I don’t know who sings it.

[@sseltrek1a2b]

i saw this tune played live at Red Rocks...it was "huge"...

[@buckeyechad1]

Toto is a nice reference. Never thought of that before. And I've listened to Jane since it came out!

[@KneeJerkReactions13]

I forgot this one. What a beauty of a song. The piano sounds like Fantasy by Also Nova, maybe even Streetheart-ish The both must have been influenced by Jane.

The guitarist is no other than Mr Craig Chaquico who has to be in the top 10 for sure he was Eddie Van Halen and the artist Prince's favorite guitarist of all time with Prince even designing his guitar in a way.Find Your Way Back is also Fire but the two most underrated songs that should be considered their best and many do consider are Stranger and Winds of Change are straight up bangers guaranteed.

[@jennhurl]

I was only 8 when this song came out but its one of 3 songs I called my "morning music" & played while getting dressed for high school every day. 🔥 FIRE

[@ericsmith6615]

Wife Speaking...Love this song!! Your reactions are always Fire..There is a new wave song called "Jane's Getting Serious" a cool song from the 80's..with the name Jane in it..!!🤩🤘

First time visiting the channel. You picked my favorite Jefferson Starship/Starship song by miles. Absolute classic!

"Stranger" is what you want ✌💖☮

[@dawnpatrol700]

This same album has a forgotten minor hit " rock music". It got a lot of play on rock stations at the time, but seems to have disappeared. It's almost as good as Jane

[@teensymom1420]

I love Layin It On The Line from this group. Some of their stuff is great because Mickey is a great singer but nothing like Jane or the song I mention here. Miracles is great but must have been before Mickey's time. Layin It On The Line was a little political back then but this group and Jefferson Airplane never shy's away from that. Worth a listen. Love Mickey's voice in it.

[@amandathibodeau4996]

God I loved this song so much! I bought the album!

[@theodoreritola7641]

LOOOOOONG LIVE THE 70s BABY

[@legman1476]

I was one of those people that recommended this one, and there were many, from the Elvin Bishop video. Craig Chaquico (Guitarist) is no slouch either. The band itself claims Toto's "Hold The Line" heavily influenced "Jane." I've actually somehow seen Starship 3 times, all with Mickey Thomas and twice with Grace Slick still in the group. The material they can pull from: Find Your Way Back, Stranger, (Probably better known as "Familiar Stranger"), No Way Out, Layin It on the Line, We Built This City, Sara, Tomorrow Doesn't Matter Tonight, Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now, It's Not Over (Til It S Over), It's Not Enough. At concerts you'd see people reacting to remembering these songs that they'd forgotten, mostly because they were there for We Built This City, Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now and Sara. Mickey delivers another tremendous performance on the ballad "Sara." That's my next recommendation from this band for you guys to check out. This was a great video. I knew it would be because I knew this song was going to hit you right. I don't always remember the first time I heard songs I love. A lot of miles (years) have gone by since I was alive when all the songs you review came out. I like to think I had these same reactions you're having. Keep doing what you do. I love it!

[@thenissilent]

Thank you for getting it right that JA and JS were not the same band! Everyone else gets it wrong and says, "Yeah, they were Jefferson Starship in the 70s." No, they split up into Hot Tuna and Jefferson Starship. Check out the early JS song "Ride the Tiger." Great guitar riff.

[@penelopehornswaggle102]

JS was started by Kantner and Grace Slick. Former members of JA.

[@rogerdaly6326]

Guys during the pandemic lockdown a group of musicians consisting of Mike Portnoy (Dream Theatre , Adrenaline Mob , Winery Dogs) on drums , Joel Hoekstra ( Whitesnake , Trans Siberian Orchestra) on guitar & a new comer named Dino Jelusick on vocals , bass & keys. Dino was picked by David Coverdale to be the touring vocalist for Whitesnake since he is retiring from touring. Their cover of Jane is something else cause the singer Dino can hit the high notes but has more umph to his voice. He's 27 yrs old from Croatia & is the best Rock/Hard Rock singer i've heard in the last 15 yrs. Check out their cover of this song its impressive.
