This fact was driven home in February at Lupo\u2019s Heartbreak Hotel in Providence, Rhode Island. That evening, Jefferson Starship played a 90-minute set to a fanatic, adulating audience that hung on every word and movement. The band was enthusiastic and definitely demonstrated that, despite a graceless moment or two, a rock group of the 1960s can keep a \u201990s audience mesmerized. (Of course, having an audience of 40- and 50- year-olds helps.)<\/p>\n<p>The band\u2019s current line-up features three members of the original Jefferson Airplane: singer\/guitarists Paul Kantner, Marty Balin, and bHelp Jack Casady. The other members joined for the band\u2019s 1992 tour and female lead-singer Diana Mangano was recruited during this past year. Though the tour is called \u201cAcoustic Voyager,\u201d the electric guitar was definitely present, in the capable hands of Mark \u201cSlick\u201d Aguilar.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The band\u2019s instrumental competency is unquestionable. In particular, Casady\u2019s bass playing was a treat and backed up his old friends\u2019 best songs with strength and vigor.<\/p>\n<p>Jefferson Starship began their set with Kantner\u2019s 1968 anthem, \u201cCrown of Creation.\u201d From there, the group played new material, Jefferson Starship\u2019s major hit songs from the 1970s (\u201cCount on Me\u201d and \u201cMiracles\u201d), some songs from Marty Balin\u2019s solo career, and a fine selection of tunes from the old days of the Jefferson Airplane. Mangano was greeted by cries of \u201cDiana! Diana!\u201d from the moment she stepped on stage. Her performances of Grace Slick songs \u201cLaw Man\u201d and \u201cSunrise\u201d were passionate and intense. However, the crowd saved its loudest screaming for the encores. After Mangano shook off a particularly shrill request for the Airplane hit \u201cSomebody to Love,\u201d the band responded with another Airplane hit: \u201cWhite Rabbit.\u201d The show ended on an energetic note, with the revolutionary epiphany \u201cVolunteers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Out of the Blue, a Grateful Dead tribute band, was a splendid opening act for Paul Kantner and company. They sounded \u2026 well, just like the Grateful Dead (actually, I prefer hearing these singers to Bob Weir and Jerry Garcia). Until I see the Dead in concert, these boys will definitely do <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is difficult to criticize something that gives so many people so much pleasure.
