Peachie Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Was a free concert at Vinoy Park in St. Petersburg on Sat to benefit All Children's Hospital during the Taste of Pinellas. Was an open air band shell. Jefferson Starship was GREAT! Mickey Thomas's vocals were AWESOME! That guy shure can belt out a tune. They did a bunch of their hits and a song from The Elvin Bishop Band(Fooled Around and Fell In Love). I haven't seen a concert since I was 16 except for Jimmy Buffet some 7 yrs ago(which I didn't think was very good) so my opinion is only amature and of personal taste. Not sure who all was in the band. I didn't get a program paper or anything. I think they were better than Pat Benetar that came on after them. Was a good show, good weather, good food.

dianed Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 How I wish I was there !!! I LOVE Mickey Thomas...I think he is better with the Starship than Marty Balin, who really died down after he left the group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggsherby Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I agree, I always loved Starship with Mickey Thomas...My top three vocalists of all time are:1. Freddie Mercury2. Eric Carmen3. Mickey Thomas Did Grace Slick stagger out and do a few tunes??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ira Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 "WE Built This City" always used to make it to the top of these lists of "Worst Records Of All Time". I think it was that old "Jefferson Airplane was hipper-" stuff. I think it's a great record with a great vocal.-Ira. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim From Wisconsin Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I am going to "A Taste Of Summer" in Waukesha WI this Friday (Where the Raspberries played last year). I am going to see Roger Hodgson, but Marty Balin is opening for him. I am looking forward to hearing how Marty sounds these days.I've always been a Pat Benetar fan! I think she still sounds great - She will be in my area next month.Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 In regard to Marty Balin opening for Roger Hogdson. I saw Airplane 2 years ago at BB King's in NY and Marty was in fine form. Airplane is appearing again this year at BB King's without Marty. From what I read he could not appear since he had some personal problems. I wonder if the Jefferson Airplane is the problem?

Peachie Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 I just wanted to say that I did not mean to say that I thought Pat Benetar was bad. They were very good! Me thinks me had a couple too many draft beers and was a little testy cause of the lines at the port-a-potty. I'm getting older and lack some of the stamina I used to have for staying up past my bed time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
