Love this Darren ,a stellar performance by y all involved.

[@mattwoor4610]

To call this a cover almost seems rude! Its a bloody masterpiece of a performance - that's what it is! Amazing.

In general EVERYTHING these folks do rises AT LEAST to levels of the original recorded versions, if not better. It’s amazing what having so many singers can do for your sound

[@dkerswill151]

I was thinking the same!!! Soooo much better than the original and the vocal harmonies are absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@topo4u20]

I so agree Matt

[@michaellowe5980]

I'm spending some time listening to your entire library of performances. Honestly, you guys are just the best cover band in the world 👍 Actually, better than a cover band, you all put your own signature and variety to what you do . Congratulations and thank you for the amazing performances you provide for the world🙏 Listening from Japan, formerly from Tasmania!

[@thekombatrealm6082]

Wow! The vocals by those two are insane. God damn this cover rivals the original artists. Freakin well done. Bravo.

[@meikenosushi]

Great! I just love it!

[@__michaelmarino__]

I use to think this song was easy! Until I sat down and tried to play it for the first time the day before! Probably not the best idea but It’s deceivingly difficult especially trying to remember all the groove changes and form. I could say it’s probably the hardest track I’ve had to play or maybe because I gave myself minimal learning time, never the less well done to the team as always. Hope everyone enjoyed the track as much as I did listening back! Enjoy the rest of your day! Michael ✌️🥁 🎤❤

[@greyguy9767]

Fabulous playing. As a guitarist, timing is tricky.

[@victorb6293]

A great insight Michael. It shows the importance of preparation and practice. Awesome drumming on this one - you made it look like it was easy, which is clearly a sign of your ability and talent. Well done!

[@rossmuir4609]

You are a fine player Michael ; mind you with the the mentor you've got it's easy to understand why. Cheers

[@singitliveworld]

it’s so great to watch you perform in the zone like this Michael. Thanks so much for drumming in this one. Hope you’re happy with the sound I pulled on your kit 👊🏼

[@MattyFitt]

You did a worthy job Michael. I can see the concentration you are putting in to get the best from yourself.

[@T-1000v3ai]

this is my favorite Darren vocals song. 🙌

[@f.w.1318]

Yep he nailed Mickey Thomas down to the last note, and keys were spot on way to go Darren

[@hanskellynogua7110]

Absolutely 💯

[@jwprimetime9795]

Why in the heck is this song always so hated by critics and on those stupid lists?!? I’m 48 and this song always stirs emotions and makes me want to be 13 again. The best of times! Amazing performance!!

[@KevinORourke25]

Because many people my age thought that Grace Slick sold out. From Airplane to Star ship was just a bridge too far. Go ask Alice, she'll tell you.

[@delta6335]

"Why in the heck is this song always so hated" .... I'm pretty sure its because of the MTC video. The hair!

Your answer is self answered when you said " on those stupid lists". I just love this song

WHY DOES THIS CHICK HAVE THE MOST PERFECT ENERGY, LOOK, HAIR, MOVES, FOR THIS SONG?!?!? Obviously the band is as tight as it can get , but the singer just completes the perfection of this piece! 👏👏👏

[@Whalerman1]

It's like she was born with this song in her heart.

[@blademan6075]

Don’t overlook the guy on the keys! In fact, I think it’s his vocals that are actually making this sound so similar to the original Starship song.

She sure is easy on the eyes.

[@michaelhoskins832]

@@blademan6075 True that. Darren sounds eerily like Mickey Thomas.

[@niccrovaix649]

Such professionalism on show, a minimum of stage antics, a maximum of concentration on the task in hand. You can see each of these performers is a perfectionist, every single note is coaxed into existence dead accurate and dead on time. This is not some frivolous game, it is a serious construction job and the end product is a wonder of musical engineering! Bravo!

[@singitliveworld]

you are absolutely correct. We have a lot of fun doing this under pressure together. Glad you like it 🙏

[@Joshcheyka]

To be fair its easy to not overdo the stage antics when you're in a bedroom

[@Joshcheyka]

@@singitliveworld don't take it the wrong way, I think you're all good musicians, it was just an extremely boring performance. Played it too safe, maybe too many takes took the piss out of the performance?? Dunno. Probably be better live.

[@MattyFitt]

Well, another where to start comment! I need to broaden my vocabulary. Absolute cracker of a track. Great to have such a strong male / female driven performance. Everyone's in on the act as always (just needed Michael to Sing-It-Live!) Superb mix, really sounds great in 4K. Darren, you really do look after your supporters with this commitment to the channel. The time and effort that this takes each week is always appreciated. Darren's 2022 Producer of the Year Grammy (honouree) rightfully on the piano, kudos to Brian Jones. I can just about spot the ever chilled Harley on his bed. Roll on next week after this has been re-played many, many times. Love from Matty 🤩
