I met Mickey Thomas at a Club where they were suppose to play in San Antonio Texas. When i got to the club there was nobody there. I went up to the ticket booth and asked them if Starship was playing here tonite. They said yes. I bought 2 freakin tickets. They may have been the only tickets they sold. So me and my wife were waiting outside of the club by ourselves. Then all of a sudden a limo pulls up and we are thinking thats got to be Starship. Sure enough some guy gets out and talks to the people at the club, and was in there for about 20 mins or so. So me and my wife approached the limo and tapped on the back door. The door opens and its Mickey Thomas. He says are you guys here for the show. we said yes, but we dont know what happened to the people. He said it dont look good. So we introduced ourselves. He was happy to talk with us for a few minutes. I asked if he would autograph a CD cover for me, he said sure i ran to my car and got my CD and he autographed it. He shook our hands, and told us they were going to play in Austin the next day, so we went and got our money back at the booth, and went to Austin the next night. The show was great.
This era for the band with this lineup was nothing short of spectacular! Mickey Thomas and Grace Slick sound great together. Thomas was highly underrated and is by far one of the best rock vocalists ever....Grace Slick is phenomenal and the two of them together is good chemistry. This entire band is extremely talented.....
Amen!! That dude has a stellar set of lungs on him. Once my voice finally cracked around 18ish I could no longer pull that off. Now I just moan..in pain. lol
Aynsley Dunbar is one of the greatest drummers of our day... from Zappa to Journey to Starship....amazing. I saw this tour and he friggin blew me away!!!
It's a shame what the music industry is today ! They get out thier and can't make up their mind if their country or rock or what !!! Get up on stage and don't wear cloths !! I won't name names if anyone knows what I mean ! I think Allen Jackson knows what I mean !!! This was pure talent !!! No lip syncing or pretending this was the real stuff !!! Whole band was spot on !!!! This is what I fell in love with !!! Please bring these bands back !!! Glad we got these recordings to still watch and listen to !!! Thank you Jefferson Starship !!!!!!!!!!
Amen!!! Performing live was the true test of ones vocal/playing ability. No hding behind a computer program..performed live a lot....in front of thousands I never could shake stage fright/crowds.
You know something? I always thought that Marty Balin and Grace were both great singer...just not together. I never felt that they gelled singing in the same songs. But Grace and Micky? My GOD! They sound so good together; I get chills listening to them on quite a few songs, this being one of them.
despite all of their line-up changes over the years, these guys put out some great tunes! Mickey Thomas is one of the most underrated vocalists still out there
Don't know about Plant BUT my top five are Brad Delp of Boston, Mickey Thomas, who still sounds great live. Hasn't lost his touch at all. Steve Perry of Journey, Meat Loaf and Freddie Mercury of Queen who all sounded great live for the most part (everyone has a bad or off day) just like the studio version in there prime. I heard that sadly Meat Loaf pretty much all but lost his voice. I hope it ain't true but crap happens. I read that he didn't sing w/ any techniques which help to preserve the voice as well as sing good. He just straight sang. RIP Brad and Freddie.
Yeah, i was huge Judas Priest, Scorpions, ACDC, Zeppelin, Def Leppard, Aerosmith, BAD CO. and UFO fan when this album debuted in 1981. I loved it..... along with Journey and BOSTON. Perfect time to grow up. Such a huge blessing.... But, man....if went back in time, like the song suggest. I would meet a huge loving party of friends. The ROCKEN old DAYS!!
I always admired how Grace was able to settle for singing back up and harmony vocals. True professional!! If you focus your ears on her parts you can tell she was still fantastic!! Idont think she got enough credit for the velvet texture she added to all those great starship songs!!
I admire her for that in Jefferson Airplane too. She always jumps out when she does background vocals and harmonies but you can also tell she's trying to add something to the song and not intentionally trying to dominate.
The guitar stuck out as primo. The vocals spot on and to see the comradery between Grace and Mickey was heartwarming. Piano chords like Jane kicked ass. They were feeling it at this time. Very good rock music.
You are right, I will no longer use the term under-rated. Mickey's voice vs Mick Jagger? Jagger is nails on a chalk board. Mickey is GOLD! Does that work?
This is one of my favorite songs and performances by Starship. If I remember correctly, one of the cast members at the end of the show said Grace Slick's father passed away hours earlier, but she didn't want to let the band or audience down by not performing. True pro!
Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, Starship: the names make no difference. What a great band, belting out awesome tunes like this treasure. To hell with the critics, like Rolling Stone rag, attacking some of the greatest pure singers in rock and roll history.
God could this guy sing. To outsing Grace is damn near impossible unto itself. Thomas is highly underrated pop rock singer. Right up there w Perry. It was all about live vocals.
Brad Felp of Boston, Freddie Mercury of Queen, Steve Perry and Meat Loaf were all good live in there prime. Muckets nevervlost his voice. I heard that sadly Meat Loaf all but pretty much lost his voice. Hope it ain't true but crap happens. RIP Freddie Mercury.
Don't know why this version of Starship is despised by so many, now that I'm hearing some songs by them for the first time they sound pretty good to me.
Aside from the people who insist on only crediting the Airplane as an acceptable band, "purists" if you will, I don't hear much hate for JS but Starship....which this is not....does get a lot of hate. And I really don't like the music Starship put out so I can't say I don't understand the hate. To be clear though, I'm NOT talking about Jefferson Starship....just Starship.
When they changed their name to Starship and started singing more pop friendly ballads like "Nothing's going to stop us now", "Sara", etc., people then started to hate the group. However songs like "No way out" and Laying it on the line" became huge hits.
Watching this again....wow! Just an awesome awesome awesome live performance of an all time great song. Mickey's flawless voice and Craig Chaquizo makes this with his amazing guitar work here. I never get tired of listening to this.
What amazing vocals! Their music is like liquid gold! The 80s, what amazing music! My beautiful and gorgeous wife, coming up on 40 years, we go out cruising most weekends in one of our several exotic machines. We have so many of their songs on our playlists. We are best friends and love hanging out together alone! We met and married in 84. The journey we have been on has exceeded our wildest dreams! To not only have achieved the America Dream, but the best part is our 7 adult children in our first 11 years and now 5 grandchildren who are priceless. What a life we have been blessed with. As crazy as the world may be, it is not part of ours! It's amazing how the time has passed so fast! We still though have so much more to look forward to! Living our blessed life now!!!
@gordocarbo Boy, do I know about trying to find my keys. I have 9 cars so I at least car find one pair most of the time. The music though, is timeless in our minds for sure. Enjoy in good health!
Mickey had some pipes! I just wish Grace sang more in this... she could still belt out some awesome vocals. One of the best female singers of all time.
I believe they'd already cut this track when she came back to the band, she'd left and came back while the album was being made. She might have been in jail, this was right about the time she was chasing some cops around in her front yard who came to her house responding to a call from someone about a disturbance there. She was a card back in those days that's for sure.
My absolute favorite group of all time. All three phases of them,1960s Jefferson airplane, 1970s Jefferson Starship, and 1980s starship. Just fantastick rock music. The best ever
I remember when this was first broadcast. Friday night of course. I had a vcr and called my brother cause i wasn't at home to get it recorded. That 81 reunion tour with Grace rejoining was awesome, Grace looked and sounded wonderful
I remember seeing this when it aired, and the main thing I remembered besides the awesome performance itself was Grace Slick mouthing the words at the beginning. AWESOME!!! Thanks for uploading!!! What a great time to be alive when we can look up almost anything on the YooToobs!
From 1975 till the late eighties I seen dozens and dozens of rock concerts From 1975 to the late eighties And in my own opinion doesn't get much better live than starship They put on one hell of a show.
The song sounds better and better as it plays. The guitarist at 4:05 is highly skilled. Was in San Francisco watching Joe Montana winning the Niners First Super Bowl in 1981! What a lot of fun!🙂❤️
Love the Jefferson Starship! One thing that puzzles me is that Grace said many years later that she hated Jefferson Starship. So how can she hate it when it’s clear she’s loving it.
@Hal70jordan Grace never said she hated being in Jefferson Starship. She originally formed that band with Paul Kantner. She did state that she did not like what the band Starship became.
Mickey Thomas sounds exactly the same live as in the studio. Wow. Can't say that about many people today, especially w/ autotuner being a rampid requirement everywhere it seems. You hear a concert on YT of a newer singer and they don't sound the same as the studio version. Mickey, Grace Slick, Paul Kanter, Anysley Dunbar and the rest of the gang do.
They sounded great back then, especially with Dunbar on drums! My brother saw them live back in the summer of 1981 during that tour and they were the Headlining act but the opening band (.38 special), according to my brother, blew them out, and the crowd was booing JS at one point! 😮
Gracie in the background at 0:35 singing along gives the illusion that she's watching her best friend in the whole world sing their song and it's the happiest moment of her life.
A truly great band with great songs...a power band really. Underrated for sure. A great great song. I hope each band member, seriously awesome and highly recognized individuals, are doing great and enjoying life to the fullest!
Mickey is one of the greatest rock vocalists ever. Don't leave out Craig Chaquico, who is an amazing guitarist. I saw them in about 1975 when he had just joined them at about the age of 20.

Omg such a shitty band.
Mick and Slick have the best singing voices in the world. I wish Mickey was more appreciated by other people.
Gives me chills - I'm 18 again...damn fabulous times
And this, kiddies....is REAL music. No auto- tune, no voice or instrument overdubs. Raw talent=epic proportions. Carry on.
Nicki Minaj is the greatest musician ever.
@@jaycee30865 LOL! 😂😆
@@jaycee30865
Nicki Minaj is not a musician becuz she doesn't play any music instruments. She is a rap artist!🤷🏾♀️

And she was great with Marty Balin too.
I agree, Mickey Thomas can still hit the high notes 30+ years later!
I prefer Balin for his unique voice and singing style though.
Amen!! That dude has a stellar set of lungs on him. Once my voice finally cracked around 18ish I could no longer pull that off.
Now I just moan..in pain. lol
Aynsley Dunbar, Pete Sears and Craig Chaquico. Superb line-up
Aynsley Dunbar is one of the greatest drummers of our day... from Zappa to Journey to Starship....amazing. I saw this tour and he friggin blew me away!!!
Larry Callaway glad to see someone else showing Sly some love. Don't forget, that's him playing with Bowie on (ground control to) Major Tom
Dunbar was also in the early Jeff Beck Group
He's played with so many great bands. Great feel and great sound!
Johnny Barbata was another.
He also played on that massive self-titled Whitesnake album in 1987.
It's a shame what the music industry is today ! They get out thier and can't make up their mind if their country or rock or what !!! Get up on stage and don't wear cloths !! I won't name names if anyone knows what I mean ! I think Allen Jackson knows what I mean !!! This was pure talent !!! No lip syncing or pretending this was the real stuff !!! Whole band was spot on !!!! This is what I fell in love with !!! Please bring these bands back !!! Glad we got these recordings to still watch and listen to !!! Thank you Jefferson Starship !!!!!!!!!!
Amen!!! Performing live was the true test of ones vocal/playing ability.
No hding behind a computer program..performed live a lot....in front of thousands I never could shake stage fright/crowds.
Absolutely, let the listener decide…
Mickey killing it live. Him and Grace created an awesome vocal blend.
You know something? I always thought that Marty Balin and Grace were both great singer...just not together. I never felt that they gelled singing in the same songs. But Grace and Micky? My GOD! They sound so good together; I get chills listening to them on quite a few songs, this being one of them.
It's all Mickey, who you trying to fool? LOL
This Mickey guy is awesome, he's a high high range vocalist
@@JamesWilliams-js4fo He's in his 70's and can still get it done live!
Grace never takes her eyes off Micky
Thr best era..And I'm tired of pretending it's not...
despite all of their line-up changes over the years, these guys put out some great tunes! Mickey Thomas is one of the most underrated vocalists still out there
I agree one hundred per cent, he is up there with robert plant.......................
Don't know about Plant BUT my top five are Brad Delp of Boston, Mickey Thomas, who still sounds great live. Hasn't lost his touch at all. Steve Perry of Journey, Meat Loaf and Freddie Mercury of Queen who all sounded great live for the most part (everyone has a bad or off day) just like the studio version in there prime. I heard that sadly Meat Loaf pretty much all but lost his voice. I hope it ain't true but crap happens. I read that he didn't sing w/ any techniques which help to preserve the voice as well as sing good. He just straight sang. RIP Brad and Freddie.

Yeah, i was huge Judas Priest, Scorpions, ACDC, Zeppelin, Def Leppard, Aerosmith, BAD CO. and UFO fan when this album debuted in 1981. I loved it..... along with Journey and BOSTON. Perfect time to grow up. Such a huge blessing.... But, man....if went back in time, like the song suggest. I would meet a huge loving party of friends. The ROCKEN old DAYS!!
Underrated is one of the most overused words on RUclips...NO ONE underrates Mickey Thomas.
I love these clips of Mickey singing lead ... and Grace just totally appreciating his amazing talent up close and personal.
Simply awesome music, I love to let the music take me back in time!
Mick & Slick!
Two of rocks greatest vocalists in one band.
I always admired how Grace was able to settle for singing back up and harmony vocals. True professional!! If you focus your ears on her parts you can tell she was still fantastic!! Idont think she got enough credit for the velvet texture she added to all those great starship songs!!
I can hear her clearly, song wouldn't be as good without her for sure
I admire her for that in Jefferson Airplane too. She always jumps out when she does background vocals and harmonies but you can also tell she's trying to add something to the song and not intentionally trying to dominate.
Settle ??? Oftentimes the backup vocals carry the gig....
@@eugenevohnoutka6323 very true! Bad choice of words on my part!
Just look at Grace watching Mickey sing. She is loving his voice. You can see it in her facial expressions.
The guitar stuck out as primo. The vocals spot on and to see the comradery between Grace and Mickey was heartwarming. Piano chords like Jane kicked ass. They were feeling it at this time. Very good rock music.
Hands-down Mickey's voice is pure gold. Under-rated does not describe it!
You had me until you said "underrated..". Tell me, was Placido Domingo "underrated" too before YOU heard him for the first time?
You are right, I will no longer use the term under-rated. Mickey's voice vs Mick Jagger? Jagger is nails on a chalk board. Mickey is GOLD! Does that work?
Great Voice
One of the greatest singers and front men ever !
She is like, "I am right here when you slip up." Just staring at him. No wonder they broke up.
This is one of my favorite songs and performances by Starship. If I remember correctly, one of the cast members at the end of the show said Grace Slick's father passed away hours earlier, but she didn't want to let the band or audience down by not performing. True pro!
Grace really rocked in this one! They all did!
Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, Starship: the names make no difference. What a great band, belting out awesome tunes like this treasure. To hell with the critics, like Rolling Stone rag, attacking some of the greatest pure singers in rock and roll history.
Absolutely. Can`t believe they haven`t sold at least twice as many albums as they have. Incredible band who have given so much.
ROLLING STONE IS THE SEARS CATALOG OF THE OUTHOUSE
You got that right. Three great bands one and the same. (Sorta)
So where's Kanter in all this since he wanna split up Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship
To be fair, this band not too long after this became overcommercial to a sickly degree
Wow, that might be one of the best live performances I've ever seen. True professionals.
I thought the same thing. They killed it here... much talent in this version of the band.
What a great lineup. Craig was one of the great underrated guitarists of that era. Freedom at Point Zero and Modern Times had some iconic songs.
Damn, what a fantastic live version of this song, they all nailed it!👍🙌
I play this song on EVERY new audio equipment I get, Poor Grace...she needs to just back and listen
Craig is a guitar master!!
Mickey and Grace - what a pair of great singers!!!
Almost forgot how great Mickey Thomas was! He still sounds great even now.
Memories ! Jefferson Starship Rocking the 70s & 80s now just to let you kids today know this is what real music sounds like !
The best female/ male vocal pair ever. In my opinion. Bar none
God could this guy sing. To outsing Grace is damn near impossible unto itself. Thomas is highly underrated pop rock singer. Right up there w Perry. It was all about live vocals.
Ikr? Look at Grace Slick...She is even mesmerized.
Brad Felp of Boston, Freddie Mercury of Queen, Steve Perry and Meat Loaf were all good live in there prime. Muckets nevervlost his voice. I heard that sadly Meat Loaf all but pretty much lost his voice. Hope it ain't true but crap happens. RIP Freddie Mercury.
JC3 Slots! Check it out!! Very Truth they both have amazing voices
CMissShelleyMichelle you mean Brad DELP!!
Agree. This vocal pair the best ever in my opinion
One of the greatest rock songs of all time!!! Top 10 IMO. It has every element of what a great rock song is.
Boosts me from depressions evilness
Sick AF
One of my favorite songs...ever.
Grace was way hotter at 42 than she was at 22. Loved her so much
Exactly. Truly a perfect song & performance.
Another great one one of my favorites I had just graduated high school love it ❤️
Allthe guys in the neighborhood, aunts uncles blasted this when I was a little kid. It was in me from a young age. Music i mean
Don't know why this version of Starship is despised by so many, now that I'm hearing some songs by them for the first time they sound pretty good to me.
Aside from the people who insist on only crediting the Airplane as an acceptable band, "purists" if you will, I don't hear much hate for JS but Starship....which this is not....does get a lot of hate.

Their Previous album, Freedom at Point Zero is my favorite, WITHOUT Grace.🎸🎸🎸🎸🤘🏻
One of my favorite bands ever. Grace was a wonderful influence on my life@
Watching this again....wow! Just an awesome awesome awesome live performance of an all time great song. Mickey's flawless voice and Craig Chaquizo makes this with his amazing guitar work here. I never get tired of listening to this.
I saw them in 1982 on a pier in Manhattan. Was one of the loudest concerts that I’ve been to. Third row general seating. Great times.
Me and my lovely wife went to see Starship when we were Young and still going out on the town, love you Cindy
What amazing vocals! Their music is like liquid gold! The 80s, what amazing music!
My beautiful and gorgeous wife, coming up on 40 years, we go out cruising most weekends in one of our several exotic machines.
We have so many of their songs on our playlists. We are best friends and love hanging out together alone!

Cant tell you where i put my dam keys though

Great music great band!! You'll never hear another band that sounds like them!
I raise my glass to Jefferson Starship
The power of this version. Is off the hook
My absolute favorite group of all time. All three phases of them,1960s Jefferson airplane, 1970s Jefferson Starship, and 1980s starship. Just fantastick rock music. The best ever
Bands of this Era would be offended by auto tune , lip syncing or over Engineering in any way. Raw talent, something missing from today’s music.
Saw this tour in ATL 1981 and again at Six Flags as Starship in 1984 . Stellar. Craig Chaquico very underrated , played with JS since age 16
One of the most powerful voices in music. Up there with boston in my honest opinion.
Soaring voices, twinkling keyboards, pounding drums, power chords, and harmonized wailing on guitars....there's nothing here not to like!
Never again! These young bands don't know what hard work is on stage like these ass kickers!
I remember when this was first broadcast. Friday night of course. I had a vcr and called my brother cause i wasn't at home to get it recorded. That 81 reunion tour with Grace rejoining was awesome, Grace looked and sounded wonderful
This is incredible
It is just the best!
Pure talent. Bring these days back
I remember seeing this when it aired, and the main thing I remembered besides the awesome performance itself was Grace Slick mouthing the words at the beginning. AWESOME!!! Thanks for uploading!!! What a great time to be alive when we can look up almost anything on the YooToobs!
Yeap, me TOO!!!
@@DRUMTOY2002That 12 string guitar sounds so awesome here as well.
He's probably my favorite male vocalist ever. I think he's terrific
From 1975 till the late eighties I seen dozens and dozens of rock concerts From 1975 to the late eighties And in my own opinion doesn't get much better live than starship They put on one hell of a show.
This is an absolutely kick ass version of this. Just my opinion.
No, it's a fact
I like black metal . And I love this song
I like punk and love this song
I like white metal
i play this at least 2x a week. it stands up big time. cheers
I listen to this daily.
I love this song a lot, though I don't know why. Yeah, this song just rocks.
An excellent performance of an excellent song.
Absolutely one of the most outstanding bands ever and Mickey Thomas one of the greatest singers ever!
Man! What a VOICE! Mickey is one of the finest vocalist of our generation! And Grace......What talent!
😘50yrs in the music Industry. This is one of the best live performances
The song sounds better and better as it plays. The guitarist at 4:05 is highly skilled.
Was in San Francisco watching Joe Montana winning the Niners First Super Bowl in 1981! What a lot of fun!🙂❤️
I LOVE this song. I wish more people in my generation had the same feeling towards 80’s music as I do.
I do. This is like the perfect song
Why do I cry a little bit everytime I see and hear thus. I guess I'm not normal. Trying to find my way back
Some of their songs have the power to do that...
Great band on a GREAT show...Friday’s!!
Great song and performance!
❤ Jefferson Starship 😊 an Excellent Band ❤
Ansley Dunbar. The gypsy always where the hits are. Mickey's poweeful voice never fails.
Best song ever! Damn these dudes could bring it!!!!
Did you know that Mickey Thomas is the singer on Elvin Bishop's "fooled around and fell in love" ?
yes...yes we knew
Public knowledge for any self respecting music fan, Captain.
Such an awesome song.
Just found out last week
Yeah!!!!!
Amazing song and vocals! Take notice audiences and music industry of today this is music and live performance.
Everyone sings. Mickey and Gracie. Dominant. Craig. Ansley. Et al. A great era
Damm Mickey could sing! Wow
Man, Mickey Thomas could SING. God, those were the days.
Holy shit. Live no less.
And you can tell they're having fun doing this.
Might like this version even better than the studio recording.
Love the Jefferson Starship! One thing that puzzles me is that Grace said many years later that she hated Jefferson Starship. So how can she hate it when it’s clear she’s loving it.

I miss my youth
Badass! The whole band is great. 👏
So melodic but gets a little heavy towards the end. Always been a favorite of mine.
They sound fantastic.
Incredible performance. Absolutely top notch.
Just amazing Mickey’s voice is dead solid perfect live just like in studio..and that is not lip syncing either.
Mickey Thomas sounds exactly the same live as in the studio. Wow. Can't say that about many people today, especially w/ autotuner being a rampid requirement everywhere it seems. You hear a concert on YT of a newer singer and they don't sound the same as the studio version. Mickey, Grace Slick, Paul Kanter, Anysley Dunbar and the rest of the gang do.
Agreed ! Saw Starship 7 or so years ago. Mickey's vocal power and clarity was unbelievable, still. Talent!!!
Chaquiço is the blistering talent here. 💞
Grace is georgeous. Just like back in 1967
Mike Perry so is Mickey
Absolutely love this! Was one of my moms favorite and I can still hear her singing this to the rooftop!
No lip synching there! See kids? That's how it's done. Great band.
No doubt about it. Their best era of all.
They really need to re release this album and others on cd vinyl etc. Yeah not just digital, physical media rocks!!!
Grace's backup at 2:11 is killer
grace is so cool her intensity
They sounded great back then, especially with Dunbar on drums! My brother saw them live back in the summer of 1981 during that tour and they were the Headlining act but the opening band (.38 special), according to my brother, blew them out, and the crowd was booing JS at one point! 😮
Mickey Thomas... f'nA what a voice. Loved that guy.
Gracie in the background at 0:35 singing along gives the illusion that she's watching her best friend in the whole world sing their song and it's the happiest moment of her life.
Shows a little humility on Grace's part. The woman is a legend herself yet she knows she's in the presence of greatness.
A truly great band with great songs...a power band really. Underrated for sure. A great great song. I hope each band member, seriously awesome and highly recognized individuals, are doing great and enjoying life to the fullest!
my favorite song
One of My all time favorite songs!
Mickey is one of the greatest rock vocalists ever. Don't leave out Craig Chaquico, who is an amazing guitarist. I saw them in about 1975 when he had just joined them at about the age of 20.
Craig Chaquico awesome and very underrated guitarist 🎸. Find your way back one of Jefferson starship best songs 🎵
