This past Friday, November 2ndJefferson Starship touched down at the Flying Monkey in Plymouth, NH.
The show started at 7:30 with the lights being dimmed and a loud monkey coming over the speakers to signify the beginning of the show.
Old Salt Band, a rock band from Laconia opened for Jefferson Starship and ended with a strong drum solo from Beau Skonieczny that deafened ears with machine-gun speed.
After a brief intermission Jefferson Starship came out. The band was lead by vocalist, Cathy Richardson, who filled the position of the famous Grace Slick. Although these are some seriously large shoes to step into, Richardson held up to the challenge, according to Plymouth local, JohnFrawley.
John said, “I had my doubts about the band, especially because (Grace) Slick was not going to be present. After hearing them I was really blow away.”
The bands set list included classics spanning the band’s complicated history. Tracks such as “White Rabbit” and “Eskimo Blue Day” transformed the crowd into a frenzy of excitement.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
