Over on the other shore
Stay out of the way of the blood stained bandit
Oh good shepherd feed my sheep
One for Paul, one for Silas
One for to make my heart rejoice
Can't you hear my lambs a callin
Oh good shepherd feed my sheep
If you want to get to heaven
Over on the other shore
Stay out of the way of the long tongue liar
Oh good shepherd feed my sheep
One for Paul, one for Silas
One for to make my heart rejoice
Can't you hear my lambs a callin
Oh good shepherd feed my sheep
If you want to get to heaven
Over on the other shore
Stay out of the way of the gun shot devil
Oh good shepherd feed my sheep
One for Paul, one for Silas
One for to make my heart rejoice
Can't you hear my lambs a callin
Oh good shepherd feed my sheep
Jorma is my favourite guitarist. Just brilliant. Saw them with the Doors in London in 68. Wow that was a long time ago!
You witnessed history then. Wow!
Went to see the Airplane at the Winterland in San Francisco in 69 I think, and this truely happened that evening. It was a Sunday night, it was planed as a two night event and went so well they added another show, announced Sunday morning. The crowd that night was one fourth what is was the night before. the show opened with The Sons of Chaplan , next was the Greatful Dead and they had a little suprise for us. We all drank the Kool Aid. Oh ya, that Kool Aid, The Electric kind of Kool Aid the book was written about. They played for hours, they could of played all night but The Jefferson Airplane also needed to play, so play they they did. The show ended somewhere near sunrise. Maybe, fuck , I don't know know ,I was stoned stupid. So that was fun and all and the five of us some how found our ride,a VW bug We headed out of city over the Bay Bridge and as we approached the crest of the span our little bug started losing power and the lights dimmed to nothing as we crested and as we coasted down the other side a Highway Patrol car pulled up behind us and put his bumper to ours and with bull horn, shouting, and scaring the shit out of us , directed us to a service station,remember those, and all thinking we were about to be busted, the patrolman, backed up, and just drove away. Probably the greatest show I'll never forget. I loved the Airplane and Good Shepherd is one of their best. Thanks R.P Rest in Peace Paul Would it kill you to play some Starship once in a while?. sheech
Damn!! Am I EVER jealous. That concert sounds like an historic, Boomer-Freak apotheosis. The song is great, too. It gets a 9 from me.

Second time I've read your story. Fantastic!
Finally a Jefferson song that did not get overplayed in the radio
Along with almost the entire catalog. I'm not aware any of the tracks from Baxter's or Crown of Creation that got significant airplay. In fact, if you're not a fanatic (not that that's a bad thing), I'd make a (friendly 5 cent) bet you've never heard those songs.
also, when did they take the cent sign off the keyboard?
still
can't
believe
that
this
was
made
in
1969
it
seems

only
yesterday...
So good to hear in the main mix on RP!
But it certainly did in my bedroom!
Damn - headphones must be broken, cannot get it loud enough!

The crazy times in which they lived made that band. We still live in crazy times but if you put the same kinds of people together today there would be no scene for them. Rock music has become too corporatized and controlled with too much emphasis on ego. You could never get lady gaga, miley cyrus or dave matthews band to share a stage or collaborate or even like each other for long. They are competing for the same few dollars in peoples pockets. Rock bands in the past never thought once about competing with anyone monetarily...maybe artistically...but everyone just loved the other for their creativeness and talents and freedom of expression. Now, we take all that for granted.
I think you're dead wrong here. While I don't follow Miley Cyrus or Lady Gaga it took just 2 seconds to find this article showing Lady Gaga's collaborations as of 2016:

Here is a similar list for Miley:

"My Antonia" (2000) off the Emmylou Harris studio album Red Dirt Girl, where Dave duets with Emmylou on her composition
"For You"(2002) off the We Were Soldiers soundtrack with Johnny Cash
"Iwoya" (2002) off the Angélique Kidjo album Black Ivory Soul
"Joyful Girl" (2002) off the Soulive album Next

"A Pirate Looks at Forty" (2012) with Jack Johnson and Tim Reynolds, off the live album Jack Johnson and Friends – Best of Kokua Festival
"Walk of Shame" (2012) with Jimmy Fallon, off the comedy rock album Blow Your Pants Off
"Take Me to Tomorrow" (2013) off the John Denver tribute album – The Music Is You: A Tribute To John Denver
"Forsaken Savior" (2013) off the Gov't Mule album Shout!
This does not take into account artists that Dave has produced. One of particular significance to me personally is Chris Whitley (heard here on RP). Dave produced Chris' album Rocket House and said this about the artist before his untimely demise in 2005:
"Chris is an example of one of those things that appalls me about the record industry - ATO co-founder Dave Matthews told Billboard in 2001. "That is, how could a talent like his go relatively unnoticed? So few singers have their own personality, and Chris is his own man to the bone. Honestly, I feel more passion for his music than I do for my own. My music I'm critical of. But I have a fervent, religious devotion to the magic that Chris makes."
This comment from Dave runs counter to your uneducated assertion about the man.
As it says above, Dave co-founded ATO records. Here is a list of bands they have produced:
ATO's roster includes Alabama Shakes, Rodrigo Y Gabriela, Brandi Carlile, Joseph, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard[1], Hurray for the Riff Raff, Benjamin Booker, Lee Ann Womack, SOJA, Okkervil River, Blind Pilot, Old 97's, Drive-By Truckers, Primus, Margaret Glaspy, The Claypool Lennon Delirium[2], J Roddy Walston and the Business, Amyl and the Sniffers[3], Joseph[4] and My Morning Jacket.
Some pretty incredible bands, many of which we enjoy hearing right here on RP. Thanks Bill!

I agree, those were very different times 50 years ago and that "corporatization" has changed the way music is made and shared. However there are many, many more contemporary musical artists than the three you mentioned and many of them still do collaborate.
Sounds as if the drugs never wore off.
no kidding. but in a good way, sort of.

A few selections from the first Soft Machine album would be some great additions.

Some of those are regularly played on RP - others not so.
Looking back on it I must have recognised greatness when I heard it because many of those bands had musicians that individually or collectively went on to great things and have lasted the test of time.
It was also 'cool' to be seen carrying around some of the albums under your arm - front cover facing outwards of course for all to see :)
Still does. Hot Tuna Electric at hardly Strictly Bluegrass this past weekend was pretty great, even if a howling gale was a somewhat unwelcome guest. The real problem was the audience, many, a high percentage of whom, were there to drink beer, get high, and bask in an early October sunny day. Which is a fine thing to do, but instead of listening to music, way too many were chattering away as if at a high school party. Maybe Hot Tuna means nil to many in the crowd, but how one could ignore this music I don't know.
Check the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass web site. It contains archives of a bunch of full show videos including Electric Hot Tuna from the past couple years.
Hardly Strictly always has the most incredible lineup - and it's all free. I've been to it a few times.
My biggest complaint is about the selfish people who get there really early, bring a big tarp or blanket and stake their claim to that area. They will often go home and then come back several hours later to see just the acts they like.
Yes, My Christmas present to myself in 1969, along with the White Album and Led ZepII, oh, it was so cool to listen to underground radio back then! Radioparadise, the new underground radio, still so cool!
Yes.

Holiday pop songs get their own sordid category.

The problem is members go out and make songs like "Built This City" - scientifically proven to be the worst song ever created. People change ... perhaps the long term effect of too many drugs.
Of the original Airplane only Grace Slick had anything to do with that abomination. Given her obvious songwriting ability, it must have made her sick to see it go to #1.

"Scientifically proven"? How does one use science to prove that a song is incompetent?
The world of rock, particularly, is littered with bands whose artistic output declined after a period of quality. Some of them just decided to go for the money. Certainly JA is one of them. Others had a drastic change in personnel that altered the chemistry of the product. Or lost recording contracts, or producers, or managers. Or their popularity just petered out. It's a tough business. The Who. Chicago (Transit Authority). Aerosmith. I'm sure there are a bunch.

Jorma was the king of the San Francisco hyper vibrato and this is a classic example.
Wow man yeah, Jorma's sound is sooo deep and cool, this is totally waving over me, Cheers!
gorgeous song... love it...
Their version of Wooden Ships made me get the meaning of that song. I agree, fantastic.
"We are forces of chaos and anarchy,
Everything they say we are, we are....
And we are very proud of ourselves"
Jorma sang lead on at least one song every album.
Wow. I didn't know that. Which ones on Takes Off and Surrealistic Pillow?
That would be "long tongued liars". Man, I love the guitar in this. Jorma really shines.
Jorma sang lead on at least one song every album.
Guess that's what I get for not having more than one album by them. And not paying attention
That may be somewhat true, but I can't really agree with your seven prior posts - their arguments are not quite as well-thought-out.
Cracked me right up... Brilliant.

I love Jefferson Airplane, but this song sounds dated. Sorry.
Yeah, and that is what makes it good! Even the little bird, Ben-Jammin' Houdini Tai-Tan-ic-a Jackson² (Squared) enjoyed singing along with this great older classic and that has to count for a lot. =D
Love it.

Definitely a song from the 60s but it still really works for me.
Not unusual for someone with nothing to say to post in the forum however I think doing it 9 times is a first (take your elbow off the submit key bobzane).

Coding to music as well, at least of the software variety...
Tis the only way to code!
