MC5- Starship

[@jaycharger72]

[@twowaymuir]

MC5 forever.............used to go see just outside of Pontiac and in Detroit at the Grande Ballroom.

[@ChefDeenoh]

They were amazing live and in person

John Sinclair was their manager in the first few years. He was a political activist and founder of the white panther. He was arrested for having like two joints on him and had to go to jail for several years. HE was released two days after several artists played on a tribute to Sinclair

Same as the kick out the jams version, recorded Grande Ballroom, Halloween 1968, just faded out real early

I'm a bit disappointed -- it ends abruptly just before the feedback drenched Plutonian singing part with space freak tone poem by Sun Ra.

john sinclair. their manager in the first year. a real left-wing activist and founder of the white panthers. he was in jail because he had a little amount of pod on him at some point.

[@vincesarmento4854]

John Sinclair was the worse thing to happen to this great band!!

[@kotjmf1968]

After getting signed to Elektra Records, absolutely. He was a major cause of their demise. He encouraged the behavior that got them ignored by the music industry.
