I was there singing away! Fantastic concert at the boardwalk, it brought me to tears with so many memories. Thank you for this video, so happy to see this video almost 5 years later.

Stephanie Calvert. Wow! Beautiful woman and great voice and stage presence. They're lucky to have found her. Mickey Hart is also is doing great, he's 70!

[@kuanyin9192]

I think you meant Mickey Thomas, I do that all the time! I think Mickey Hart is 76 now. I agree, Stephanie and Mickey together sound great!

@Tim Perrin. Yeah lucky to have found her but sadly Mick booted her out of the band for some silly reason. Little bit of back stabbing there. Steph Your fired Elvis has left the building.

Indeed, that is John Roth on guitar :)

​@@kuanyin9192I thought he was talking about Reb Beach from Winger. Is that him?

[@larrycrabs5995]

​@kuanyin9192 Nevermind. John Roth was in Winger too. I didn't know that!

[@tamiwright-carroll1662]

Fun, but what was going on with the sound?

[@kuanyin9192]

Luckily it was not overwhelming. I only heard the feedback on occasion, usually the boardwalk sound people are on it. My guess would be the wind caused some sort of microphone drift then feedback.....it was a fun show though, the band were great

[@TOSHTON]

They're Old Farts, give them a Break!!..

[@ryant7865]

(2:50 to 2:57) LAUGH OUT LOUD

[@rudygracia5573]

I love the story about Slick wanting back into the band(reboot),after she had left for a few years.She asked if she could audition!(something along those lines).Of course,she was let back in,no audition necesary.

[@jackwezesa1081]

Fake story, sorry!

[@giselestrauch5146]

me too why is she not performing with them?

[@lancelange9377]

She long ago retired from singing. I think it's been at least 10 years since she performed. She's an artist now.

[@jawaidmanzoor4396]

Is this Jefferson Starship playing the 60s??

[@DSilvergun]

No Starship without Grace Slick.

[@kuanyin9192]

She's 81 now and retired from music after the 1989 Airplane reunion tour. Mickey has kept going with the Starship since 1991

[@roboravitz5572]

Maybe too much chemistry between the 2 that costed her job

[@zepp3lin]

Can't believe it's Winger guitarist. He doesn't sound like 1 and he don't play like 1. Maybe because he's not Reb Beach...lol

[@motohirosato7370]

The first glance made me surprised how beautiful Grace has remained.

[@kuanyin9192]

Impressive for an 81 year old, right? Kidding, if you look at the info & band lineup you can see who all the members of the band are. That's Stephanie Calvert on vocals! She's been in the band for the past 15 years.

[@janetellzey7701]

That's not Grace her name is Stephanie

[@albertoesparzaaguayo6419]

Drummer is still they original?Miss Craig Chaquico...

[@kuanyin9192]

The band lineup is listed above. That's Darrell Verdusco on drums, he's been a member of the band since for over 25 years, since 1993, having formerly played in the KBC band with Paul Kantner, Marty Balin, and Jack Casady. Craig is awesome, but he has not been in the Starship for over 30 years. He is however, still out there playing great stuff!

[@hughmaxwell8143]

This woman wails. Sorry Grace but she’s better

[@themobseat]

Mickey Thomas fired Stephanie, what a loser. She's carrying the entire band.

[@kuanyin9192]

I agree, that was shocking to find out. Nothing against her replacement, but the new vocalist just does not have Stephanie's power and range from what I have heard, IMO. There is a video on here of Stephanie being interviewed talking about the situation. Mickey really kind of shot himself in the foot firing her.

[@joesmith34]

@The Mob Seat Yeah you re right and Elvis has left the building
