RIP Paul Kantner

[Greg]

Doesn't pay to be a rocker recently.

I saw him and the Jefferson Starship play at the delightful Marriot's Great America.  I liked them best during their Freedom At Point Zero to Modern Times days.

[Drunk Monk]

Didn't we go to that show together?  It was Starship then, right?  I was going to post something on that very memory, but it predates the forum, so I can't be sure...

I saw Kantner several times since then, at various hippie shows, but none really stand out now.

[Greg]

Yes . . . .

I think they were still Jefferson Starship, then. I always got the impression Kantner was a cranky dude. Seemed to be fighting in the bands constantly and nothing ever met his standards. Just my opinion from the outside looking in.

[Drunk Monk]

What year was that?

I think I only saw two shows at Great America - Starship (I really think they had just dropped Jefferson then) & the Monkees.

[King Bob]

Although not much of a song writer, he was the only member to remain through all the different lineups. So kudos for that.
