Online translation services can have strange, surreal and oddly beautiful results. Today's very positive review of the new Jefferson Starship 4CD set, takes us into some strange and - as I said - oddly beautiful - linguistic caverns. Grace Slick changes gender, and how can anybody agrgue with a statement like this: "Many albums, but also overstaffed who went and came into the ranks of Jefferson Starship over time". Enjoy. I certainly have.
When Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady leave the Jefferson Airplane to go form Hot Tuna in 1972, the remaining members of the Airplane convert their airplane spaceship and thus was born the Jefferson
Starship in 1974. This change of name can mean many things : technical development with music that will be more gradual, will rise higher in the air due to space rock, or just new chapter in the saga started in 1965 by Marty Balin , Paul Kantner and Grace Slick. This is also when the latter released his solo album "Manhole" in 1973 that his comrades chose the name Jefferson Starship to accompany it. The Jefferson Starship will be a central figure in progressive rock and AOR U.S. during the 70s and 80, telling a series of albums wandered between west coast, experimental space rock or return to the values and country folk. Albums "Dragon Fly" (1974), "Red Octopus" (1975),"Spitfire" (1976), "Earth" (1978), "Freedom at Point Zero" (1979), "Modern Times"(1981), "Winds of Change" (1983) "Nuclear furniture" (1984) are there to witness provided a discography, most often rewarded by beautiful rankings in the U.S. charts. Many albums, but also overstaffed who went and came into the ranks of Jefferson Starship over time.
The most significant change is the departure in 1978 of Marty Balin and Grace Slick, pillars training. The last founder Paul Kantner goes also in 1984 and the rest of the group renamed simply Starship for other albums until 1990, when the final separation of the group. Shortly after, Paul Kantner revived the Jefferson Starship which coexists with another reformation Starship singer Mickey refounded by Thomas. The historic Jefferson Starship releases new albums, the latest, "Jefferson's tree of liberty" (2008) is followed by an extensive concert festival in 2009 in Roswell, object of this album. So balance races : that t find one in this Jefferson Starship after so many years ? course Patriarch Paul Kantner, 70, who is on his shoulders not only the history of Jefferson Starship but also of Jefferson Airplane. At his side, David Freiberg , another legend, the founder of Quicksilver Messenger Service and accompanied Paul Kantner and Grace Slick on their various solo albums. There are also Cathy Richardson (vocals, charged with the difficult succession of Grace Slick), Chris Smith (keyboards),Donny Baldwin (drums) and Slick Aguilar (guitar).

During the recording of the concert Roswell in 2009, the group presented on stage a series of guests : Pete Sears (bass who officiated on many albums of Rod Stewart), Barry Sless (guitarist wanted for his expertise the pedal steel), Tom Constanten (piano, ex-Grateful Dead), Darby Gould (vocals, an alumnus of Jefferson Starship) and Jack Traylor(guitar and vocals, an old companion of Paul Kantner solo albums).
This is very dense and full of meaning and becomes even more against the CD that traces show that given July 3, 2009 in Roswell, place remained famous for being the location of a supposed flying saucer crash in 1947, a mystery still jealously guarded by the U.S. Army would have found the bodies of little green men. This"Roswell UFO Festival 2009" is not a simple but a quadruple CD CD which contains, brace yourselves, a first rehearsal CD a few days before the festival, two CD sets depicting both given on the same day and last CD reproducing the sound check before the concert. Object that will delight fans of Jefferson Starship could sicken others, as the mass of information contained within this mini-cabinet is huge and admittedly, much superfluous. CD repetition and balance are basically the internal workings of little interest. You see the roadies who prepare the scene before the concert ? "One two, one two, check check" and other magic formulas that are used to verify that sound is in place and that the instruments are tuned ? Well, there are two CD whole of these pieces started and not finished, hesitant, interrupted dialogue between musicians and the technology ("Hey Freddie, forgive me a little more guitar on my back, I hear nothing"). We will therefore these documents sound only for maniacs Jefferson Starship to focus on CD 2 and 3, which depict two shows given the same day. The first is quite hovering and the second is much more rock, there is something for everyone. Jefferson Starship to pay the luxury to provide two radically different set lists from one show to another. The first part of the first show is essentially folk with covers of "Urban Spaceman" (Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band), "The eggplant That Ate Chicago" (Dr. West's Medicine Show and Junk Band), "Mountains of the Moon " (Grateful Dead), "This land is your land" (Woody Guthrie), "Me & my uncle" (Grateful Dead) or "Billy the Kid" (Woody Guthrie). The group starts a "Crown of Creation" by Jefferson Airplane time before interpreting some songs from the latest album "Jefferson's tree of liberty" , and some other lesser known songs of Jefferson Airplane ( "Lawman" , "Wooden ships " ) and songs from solo albums Paul Kantner and Grace Slick ( "Sunfighter" , 1971 , "Baron von Tollbooth and the Chrome Nun" , 1973). The second show is more convincing, more consistent, with cream airplanien directory ( "Have you seen the saucers?" ,"Somebody to Love" , "White Rabbit" , "Volunteers" , we no longer) and masterful interpretations of covers of David Bowie ( "Space oddity" ), Pink Floyd ( "Brain Damage" , "Eclipse") plus a beautiful "Dark Star" The Grateful Dead.
Cathy Richardson seeps comfortable in slippers with Grace Slick singing close to the singer said original Jefferson Starship. The whole is surrounded by the magic and joy of playing musicians on stage and comes to regret not having seen the show in the desert, with the ghost of the little Martian Roswell aspect of science fictionnesque things. "Roswell UFO Festival 2009" is an excellent key to open the door to work consistently and legendary pair Jefferson Airplane - Jefferson Starship. The choice of the group have done everything, including repetitions, is a bit questionable, but there are two magnificent shows delight lovers of psychedelic rock, progressive and all those who dedicate a legitimate admiration for the nebula Jefferson Airplane.
