Rest In Peace Marty. So many great memories of the glory days of The Airplane and Starship!

Sam Pelczarski Cudowny Artysta, zachwycałam się jego piosenkami. Niech spoczywa w pokoju[*] Niebo jest teraz jego domem ... Spoglądajmy więc - usłyszmy anielskie głosy! Dziękuję Marty❤

Rest In Peace Marty...... The music of my youth and life... Thank You.....

[@ozsweet]

nice to see so much energy from Mr. Balin after all these years.

[@deedee5591]

Jorma kicks ass..Happy 75th !!! Marty loves what he does...sounds good.

[@Tipi_Dan]

I love this. I love the strength of Marty's voice and his enthusiasm; I love Jorma's yellow Les Paul (it's starting to match Jack's golden Epiphone; I love the double bass[es] and no drums. Heavy electric folk.

[@magicminstrel]

They can still do it! Brilliant, even after all these years. Obviously, sex, drugs and rock & roll were good for them.

[@Braglemaster123]

R.I.P. Marty Balin

[@talbotsplace7316]

Speaking as a bass player - Jack is the absolute nazz.

[@DocRock1007]

yep

[@dougpotosky4102]

Marty still had it right to the end. Had a chance to meet him. Friends put on a benifit for a wounded vet. Starship played with Marty and Paul. They sounded great. That performance is part of a Documentary. Plus Marty's dad was their. Really neat person. How we miss so many!

[@carltonreese1804]

Great stuff, but man this song misses Grace Slick's backing vocals.

[@3DDoor]

"C'mon volunteer you all, gotta fight back!!"

[@Gpacharlie]

What would Marty think of our 2020 revolution? 🇺🇸Gotta Fight Back🇺🇸

[@jimdep6542]

He'd probably agree that the election was a fraud.

[@TooSkinnyKenny]

Marty I hope you're resting peacefully, we miss you down here.

[@Thisisspacemusic]

Rise in Power Mr. Balin! Your music means a lot to me and that of the J.A.

We need this happening here right now. If ever there was a time since the Viet Nam war to fight for America it's now. The government works for the ppl and are paid by our taxes. We need to get to work. Thank's Marty and crew for this anthem.

[@bobphillips3222]

Included in the sound track of my life. Along with every other JA song ever recorded.

Pretty lame without the backing vocal(s).....

[@davidmathews2599]

I guess the backing vocals are a must for this one.

[@georgerudawsky1083]

RIP, Marty.

[@alexisjigalin1006]

I remember going to some punk club on Broadway St. in San Francisco in 1979 stood at the front stage, the bass player was off on his own in the far right hand corner in his own world, the guy was really good, and familiar, It was Jack Casady in a band called SVT. Later went across the street to Enrico's to drink espresso with my friends, we thought we were so cool that we saw Jack Casady. Ah... youth.

[@patrickmichels7888]

That was probably the Mabuhay Gardens

[@alexisjigalin1006]

@@patrickmichels7888 Perhaps. It was the first time I witnessed stage diving and slam dancing. When I was slammed into at first I thought some guy was trying to start a fight with me, but my more culturally aware girlfriend explained to me what it was about, after all she worked at Grubstake so she was cool.

Sorry he had to go. I grew up listening and saw Starship this summer. Mickey did a wonderful job singing Balin's songs.

[@Wuei108]

The music of Jefferson Airplane was important for me in last century.

[@Wuei108]

And yes: Marty is right. Papa John was a wonderful part of Jefferson Airplane.He Made the sound incredible good!

Love fur peace ranch. Wish I could have made this show !!

[@donaldgehre5964]

Quite a spectacle to see those three almost 50 years after Volunteers came out and make it sound as exciting and as inspirational as when it came out. Fantatstic

[@ApoplecticDialectics]

More than any song, this one, makes me feel like I missed out on something.

[@MrDon52]

Just need a kantner and slick vocal and drums. Otherwise quite good and complete. But FPR is about musicians and variety. So it is good.

[@spidyr2k]

RIP dude

[@zenwolfpup106]

So sorry to hear of your peoples passing...

[@donniemaxwell6864]

Super...

[@alanbauch2815]

Wow when they started up the old machine, I was kinda shocked, I thought, these guys are all still there, and sound as good as they used to: great! The best of the SF bands...fly on, JA

[@alanbauch2815]

My sister took me to see J orma and Jack at the schnitz in Portland, and while we were waiting for the start, I told my sister I would be happy just knowing I was in the same space as Jorma, even if he didn't play a note! I have loved that sound of his since I was a kid, and for me it is the greatest electric guitar sound ever made... The top, and no one has ever gotten even close to that soulful, snarling, majestic and noble music he makes!

[@spacepatrolman]

3:30 GUITAR SOLO

[@hamilton9651]

It loses something as time passes. The days of Nixon, the Viet Nam War, and protesting the Democratic Convention are long over! Other than the music itself the message is just not resonating with most people now!

[@moonchildtheking5008]

Wow...

[@zaq55]

How about some backing vocals from the guitar players?

[@lastnamefirst4035]

Alright! Marty sounded great! This is the 1st time Ive heard anybody rock out at FPR. Usually its low key acoustic stuff. I wondered if jorma and jack could still rock

[@thewordofgord]

Gees, wasn't that a treat!

[@Tom-xg1kj]

Live music is of the moment. Nothing like the emotion of the now! For years I thought recordings were the thing. As time passes you realize that moment is gone. As we age holding onto to those times become difficult at best. Look forward to the time ahead as promised by G-D.

[@tied2dye1]

right people have thrown away all live music experiences emotions to shove they're heads up they're assholes with a cell phone plastered to they're shit hole mouths and unfortunately all these great musicians are now hitting mid 70's and 80's there's going to be a deluge of these hitting us all at once BUT I continue to rock on despite the zombie apocalypse and nobody can ever steal music and love for classic rock

[@SUGAR_XYLER]

Promised by who?Nothing is promised.

[@tied2dye1]

and 2 add 2 that every promise ever made to me was always broken A promise is the same as telling a lie Only in a nicer way

[@christopherjames7477]

Why doesn’t anyone play off big amplifiers anymore? Sounds crappy mic’ing tiny amps to two average sized speakers in my opinion
