Last Flight [PA] [Remaster]

Performer: Jefferson Airplane
Distributor: MSI Music Distribution

Notes: Jefferson Airplane: Paul Kantner (vocals, guitar); Grace Slick (vocals); Jorma Kaukonen (guitar); Jack Casady (bass guitar). Recorded in 1972 at the Jefferson Airplane's final show before re-emerging as Jefferson Starship two years later, LAST FLIGHT captures the end of an era. Over the course of these two discs, we're taken on a tour of the Airplane's history, as they tear into career highlights like their signature smash, "Somebody to Love," all snarling guitar and wailing vocals; the moody sci-fi folk-rock of "Wooden Ships;" and the psychedelic glory of "Crown of Creation." The sounds the band seared into the heads of the crowd at the Winterland that night seem just as potent all these decades later.

One of the quintessential San Francisco psychedelic bands, the Jefferson Airplane brought together interests in acoustic blues, folk, and rock music. Add political topicality and modal improvisations, and you have an inspired, mind-bending sound that could have only sprung forth from the late '60s. In their initial, most beloved phase, they were powered by the powerful dual lead vocals of Grace Slick and Marty Balin and the serpentine guitar of Jorma Kaukonen. They went through a traumatic series of personnel and name changes over the decades (they ventured into commercial AOR in the late '70s and early '80s) but their early work retains its seminal power.
