Jefferson Airplane Compilation Disk 1 of 5
1. Other Side of this Life (Sept. 23, 1966, Winterland Aud.)
2. It's No Secret (ditto) --
The sound of a plane taking off that opens this set was used for several
songs, and is most likely the progenitor of the starship taking off in Paul's
BLOWS AGAINST THE EMPIRE (put together by Graham Nash).
3. Come Up the Years (Oct. 2, 1966, Fillmore Aud.)
4. Fly Trans Love Airways (Oct. 2, 1966) -- first appearance of Donovan's
"Fat Angel," a.k.a. "Fly Trans Love Airways." The original fat angel was
Mama Cass Elliot of the Mamas and the Papas, and of course the
airplane was an additional allusion to the West Coast sound.
5. Don't Slip Away (Oct. 7, 1966, Winterland Aud.)
6. High Flying Bird (Oct. 7, 1966) -- Signe is about a week away from leaving.
These songs originally appeared with Signe as vocalist, although early-recorded
Grace versions do exist.
7. Bringing Me Down (Oct. 14, 1966, Fillmore Aud.)
8. Jam (Oct. 14, 1966) -- Signe begins her last three-day run at the Fillmore.
Confusion exists over whether she finished the entire run, or whether Grace stepped in
on the last day, Nov. 16, so I have just put in the known Signe run of two days.
9.-10. Bill Graham intro > jam
3-5ths of a Mile in Ten Seconds (Oct. 15, 1966)
The first appearance of "3-5ths of a Mile" and with Signe
as vocalist. Grace's later version would of course open SURREALISTIC PILLOW
and be a staple of the band; not many have heard Signe singing with Marty on this.
10. My Best Friend (Nov. 2, 1966, venue unknown?)
11. Plastic Fantastic Lover (Nov. 2, 1966)
12. Today (Nov. 2, 1966)
13. White Rabbit (Nov. 2, 1966)
14. In the Midnight Hour (Nov. 2, 1966)
15. She Has Funny Cars (Nov. 2, 1966) -- Some have argued this is the third day of the
Oct. Fillmore run, or else another venue closer to that date. Given all the new songs from
the recording in progress (SP), I believe this really is Nov. 2, 1966. As such,
"White Rabbit" had just been recorded for that album three days earlier!
A historic concert, whatever the real date.
16. Somebody to Love (Nov. 25, 1966, Fillmore Aud.) -- Grace had performed this with her
original band, the Great Society, but this is an early Airplane appearance of the soon-to-be
hit song.
17. Go To Her (Nov. 26, 1966, Fillmore Aud.) -- Both Signe and Grace recorded versions;
this is Grace live.

CD 2
Ronald Reagan's reaction to the new "scene"
Get Together
Feb. 4, 1967 -- classic speech by a young governor as well as a classic
song by Dino Valenti. How could I improve upon the venerable "San
Franciscan Nights 1"? I did choose "Get Together" as appropriate
for following the -- in retrospect, very humuorous! -- RR's speech.
--
Come Back Baby
Leave Me Alone
March 10 and 12, 1967 (Winterland). A new booking agent had the hot
new band touring, and "Come Back Baby," if compared with the jams of 1966,
indicates the future emergence of Hot Tuna; "Leave Me Alone" shows how
Marty could have easily been a part of that.
--
Saturday Afternoon / Won't You Try
May 19, 1967 -- first live appearance of this song; it would later be reworked
in the studio sessions that follow.
--
Saturday Afternoon / Won't You Try
Martha
Oct. 2-5 (?), 1967 -- rehearsals for recording AFTER BATHING AT BAXTER'S. Very
haunting "Martha" jam with Grace on recorder and keyboards.
--
Young Girl Sunday Blues
Two Heads
Share a Little Joke
Feb. 1, 1968 -- all first appearances in concert, at least in my sources of tape.
--
Star Track
Greasy Heart
Fat Angel
May 17-18, 1968. Rare live performance of Jorma's contribution to a new album in the
making, CROWN OF CREATION. Then Grace's classic "Greasy Heart" on the next day.
The "Fat Angel" on that same last day shows that the improvisatory nature of the band was
changing for the better, and is one of my favorite versions. . . .

Set III
CD 5
Hal talks with Jorma (Santa Clara, April 24, 1992)
[I try to take him back to his student days]
Plastic Fantastic Lover -- Sept. 28, 1989 -- Fillmore Auditorium
[final Fillmore appearance ever -- Sept. 26th was the best!]
Hal talks with Papa John (Veteran's Benefit, San Jose, no date, '92)
[I ask him about one of his solo numbers; Gretchen is there too
but I'm saving the full treatment for Valentine's Day]
Somewhere Over the Rainbow -- Oct. 9, 1992 -- Catalyst, Santa Cruz
[The solo number: I have the SBD of the whole show]
Hal talks with Darby Gould (San Jose, no date, a month or so later)
[Talks about working for several bands at once; throat problems]
Genesis Hall -- Oct. 9, 1992 -- Catalyst, Santa Cruz
[A Richard Thompson cover: had to get in Fairport somehow!]
PERRO (proto-Mountain Song) -- Wally Heider's studio 1/2/71
[From Stephan Barncard's famous tapes; our Airplane heroes in the
studio with Jerry Garcia, David Crosby, and -- Phil Lesh, maybe?
As far as I know Crosby dropped the song but Paul took it up on
his album PLANET EARTH ROCK N' ROLL ORCHESTRA]
Mountain Song
Have You Seen the Stars Tonight -- Feb. 13, 1994 -- Seva Benefit, Masonic Hall SF CA
[From Wavy's wonderful 25th anniversary tribute to Woodstock; too bad
I can't use the Hot Tuna section! I have the whole concert, though.
Here Paul not only plays the completed song but invites Crosby to
to join him on another song they wrote together: a gorgeous one!]
Transcaucasian White Boy -- no date, '73?, Wally Heider Studio
[From the outtakes/working tapes of BARON VON TOLLBOOTH: Dave Tamarkin's
excellent Ultimate JA Collection #1 used "Your Mind Has Left Your Body" so
I used another, equally atmospheric tune from one of my favorite albums]
Silver Spoon -- no date, Wally Heider Studio
[From Dave Tamarkin's Ultimate JA Collection #2; a very powerful Grace moment]
BLOWS AGAINST THE EMPIRE -- Oct. 19th, 1974 -- Radio City Music Hall
[A quirky choice: this album turned me from an Airplane fan into a full-
fledged fanatic. Here it is live with Freiberg, Pete Sears -- who would
later jump ship for Hot Tuna (I have some interview material with him),
Johnny Barbata (another CSN&Y tie-in), and the one and only Papa John Creach]
