Jefferson Airplane Jefferson Starship Take Me To A Circus Tent New book by Craig Fenton

http://www.takemetoacircustent.net/media/JeffersonAirplaneTakeMeToACircusTentAircast28JJJ.mp3

You’ve done it!  Welcome to the holiday weekend and the hits keep on coming!

Any cool plans for the long weekend?

April 27^th 1969 Oakland Coliseum Hendrix and Casady Voodoo Child Slight Return Jam- all seventeen plus minutes.  About 80 percent of the way through listen when Jimi calls Jack by the wrong name!  However in no way is it an insult!

There were numerous Airmails asking if I could find one more Jack and Jimi Jam.  I am glad to bring a great tune for the in flight music.  If you enjoy this one please check out the other two Jack and Jimi songs I posted recently.  You can simply look to the right of the blog and if you don’t see the title please click on a specific MONTH.  The contents for the previous 30 days will unfold and you can have hours of musical delights as we fly to and from Airplane Land.

Earlier today I posted the rare Herb Greene photos taken of Jack Casady.  I believe several of them were not used in my Jefferson Airplane book “Take Me To A Circus Tent.”  Along with the Casady pictures there was a terrific live video of the Beatles 66!  Words don’t say enough.

I’ll let you rest and hear the music.  Thanks for flying by.  Maybe some more gems from the Airplane Man’s vault can surface late night or early morning.

Be safe on the roads and enjoy,

craig

Hello and welcome to Friday again:

Hope the day is going great. Right now 2 for the price of nothing!  If you click above the Jefferson Airmachine brings you back to 1966 for a Beatles gem (Video) and as promised the Jefferson Airplane photos of Jack Casady circa 66/67.  Please scroll down and simply click on the links!  Thank you as always to Herb Greene.  I’ve attempted to give you pictures that did not make the Jefferson Airplane book “Take Me To A Circus Tent.”  Although 93 did, it would have been impossible to fit all the cool shots over the years from Herb Greene and Don Aters. 

Please keep the ideas flowing for the Jefferson Aircasts!  Remember it is for you the fine flyers that board a seat on the Airplaneman’s flight.  Thanks as always!  Maybe if I can fly back in time this evening I can find another Jack Casady and Jimi Hendrix appearance for you.  

This just in from the Airfield command.  If you fly here there will be more Beatles video for you and rare Jack photos!  Alert Alert Alert.  Now back to the regular blog.  Thank you.

 Hello Airplaners and welcome to Friday:

August 18, 89 The Jefferson Airplane takes the stage for the first time since 9/22/72 Winterland, San Francisco.  On the opening night of the reunion tour as the final encore the Airplane pulls out of the flight cabin “The Other Side Of This Life.”  Written by Freddie Neil, the J.A. last played the song August 12, 72 at Roosevelt Raceway, Westbury, New York.  No other 1989 show would see this in the set list!  Enjoy a treasure from the Air Machine.  Click please the above link and you’ll be back to 1989.

Sorry if any of you on board had trouble with this the past 48 hours.  The Air Staff worked on the flight and here you go!    It is the terrific cover of “Show Me The Way To Go Home” from Paul Kantner’s Wooden Ships.  As mentioned previously Emerson, Lake, & Palmer performed a terrific version as well.  Below is the way to board the flight and hear the tune!  Thanks!

A very large thanks to you fine people.  Thursday, August 30th, 2007 was the highest views the Airplane Man’s Blog has received!  The Grateful Dead fans helped out.  It is appreciated!  Thanks to all.

Remember to check the complete contents of the Flight Blog on the right side ofthe page please.  This week alone we had Allman Brothers rarities, Paul Kantner with Crosby, Stills, and Nash, a member of Cream and ELP and Tull playing a Beatles tune, 6 terrific Jefferson Starship songs from the vaults and much more!

It was a terrific surprise the Yankees got 3 games from the Red Sox.  What hurts is still being 5 out with only 1 month left.  The Yanks April and May caused all the problems they are attempting to overcome.  The only blame is in the mirror.

Have a great Friday and I’ll try to find some great Jack Casady photos from 66 for you in the next 24 hours.

All the best,

craig

How are you? 

Back again because there were several requests for more material from a show with Marty and Paul that I played some tracks from a couple of days back.  One of my favorite Jefferson Starship gigs from any era.  It is that strong. 

Quick reminder that the really cool All-Star musicians playing a Beatles classic is worth checking out.  Please look to the right side of the page.  If you dig the Beatles, Animals, Cream, ELP, and Jethro Tull it is a wonderful treat!

Please also look to the right of the page for the cool Allman Brother music and some great Herb Greene photos from the Airplane days.  Always click the month so you get every entry for 30 days.  That would include Paul Kantner playing with Crosby, Stills, and Nash for instance!

Lineup: Paul Kantner, Marty Balin, Diana Mangano, Slick Aguilar, Prairie Prince, Chris Smith

Hello and welcome to Wednesday night. 

How did the day go?  Mine got better about five minutes ago.  For about 24 hours there was a problem around the nation with AT & T being about to route connections to certain sites.  One was the page I use to update the website for the Jefferson Airplane book “Take Me To A Circus Tent.”  The connection would time out and I couldn’t get to the site to let people know there was a situation.  I couldn’t update with a real nice gem from the vaults.   As you are aware all too well computers and software are tremendous but when something goes astray it is brutal waiting for rectification. 

Here we go and better late than never. 

Jefferson Starship –October 29, 2002 from Newcastle Opera House, Newcastle, U.K. Paul Kantner,Marty Balin,

Diana Mangano,

Slick Aguilar,

Chris Smith,

and Prairie Prince. 

They perform 3 Airplane GEMS for you.  Not exactly a new Aircast but a close facsimile. Young Girl Sunday Blues,She Has Funny Cars, and Comin’ Back To Me  

Enjoy and have a great evening,

Hello and welcome to Wednesday:

How are things going?  I had a great gem from the Airplane Family vaults for you fine flyers but………………

The web host I use has decided to not let me log into my own site.  This means a back-up plan.  It will be hard to not dig these two tunes.

GERMAN TV-50 JAHRE ROCK! LOVE SONGS 11/27/04. (November 27, 2004)Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull with a classic “Living In The Past” and then Jack Bruce with Greg Lake and friends doing a Cream masterpiece (“Sunshine Of Your Love”)! Enjoy and please remember the nice polite starving author that shares these rarities- Craig Fenton of the new Jefferson Airplane book “Take Me To A Circus Tent”

If all goes well either later Wednesday or Thursday I can post the Airplane Family treasure for you.  Sorry for the situation at hand.  In answer to the obvious question the web host does not have tech support 24 hours but somehow got voted in the Top 3 year after year!

Am I dreaming or did the Yankees actually win a game?

Thanks and be well,

craig                             

How are you today?

Tuesday late morning and once again the Yankees make history but in the wrong direction.  Losing 16-0 last night was the largest shutout loss in team history.  I thought that it would take 2 rarities from the vault to help forget about the game.

From Dick Cavett August 18, 69 for playback the next day, the Jefferson Airplane with friend Nicky Hopkins doing “Volunteers.” Spencer and Nicky we miss you greatly! Enjoy the treasure!          http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sr3ay75EbEM

and why stop there?  How about Jeff Beck plays the Beatles?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzVDAQVC4rI

June 24, 04 as he plays the Beatles “A Day In The Life”, please support the nice but starving author of the new Jefferson Airplane book “Take Me To A Circus Tent.”

Have a great day,

craig

Hello and welcome to Tuesday in Airplane land:

How are you this morning?  There is a goody from the vault.  The Airplane with Friend the late great Nicky Hopkins on keyboards and never forgetting the late great group member Spencer Dryden.

From Dick Cavett August 18, 69 for playback the next day, the Airplane “We Can Be Together” w/cool guest Nicky Hopkins. We miss you Spencer, and Nicky!   Mr. Hopkins played with the Airplane at Woodstock and stayed 1 more day to perform on the Dick Cavett taping.

Check out a couple of things.  Joni Mitchell is sitting with Dick Cavett and she seems to enjoy the Airplane’s music and Grace has mentioned over the years when she has trouble hearing she’ll cup her hand near her ear.  In the early portion of the tune she clearly will search for a better stage sound.

I’ve been a Yankee fanatic since 1967.  In my younger days I would hide a small radio under the pillow so I could hear the west coast games.  You never get used to losing.  Mike Mussina has decided he would like an E.R.A. over 6.  For you non baseball fans a starting pitcher in the American League could be considered doing their job with an E.R.A. around 3.50.  E.R.A. means earned run average.  It is how many runs the pitcher is responsible per game.  The term earned is used because if a player makes an error they may end up giving the other team a run that isn’t earned against the pitcher. 

Hope your baseball team is better than mine!

Have a great day and always check back for the rarities.  The latest Aircast was posted yesterday and it has the remaining tunes from the Jam with Garcia, Hart, Jorma, Jack and friends from 1968!  There is about 25 minutes of music for you!

Be well always,

craig
