    Summary:
    Paul Kantner opens this show with an interesting observation: "Ah, the late show here. It used to be the young kids would always come to the late show to get home in time for curfew and the old folks would stay for the late show. Now all the old folks come to the early show and the young kids stay late..." The year was 1988, and for the San Francisco music scene, it seemed everything that goes around, comes around again.
    The legendary Fillmore Auditorium was back in business, and playing on stage was the famed acoustic duo of Kaukonen and bassist Jack Casady, better known as acoustic Hot Tuna. The duo, which formed in 1970 as a side project featuring two of the six members of the Jefferson Airplane, eventually added Airplane drummer Johnny Barbata and violinist Papa John Creach to become Electric Hot Tuna. But on this night, it was back to the original two-man, acoustic lineup for an evening of old time blues and country-blues standards.
    This show, part of a multiple night stand at the Fillmore recorded by promoter Bill Graham for his archives, includes a few surprises. On hand for the show were electric Hot Tuna member Papa John Creach, who contributes his tasteful violin runs on a few songs, including the boogie romp, "John's Other." Also on hand is Jefferson Airplane/Starship founder Paul Kantner, who sits on a few Airplane and KBC Band songs, among them, the 1967 Airplane classic "Martha." And Grace Slick sits in too, contributing vocals on "Good Shepherd" and the set-closing "Volunteers". Surprises aside, this is a solid collection of classic Hot Tuna including Reverend Gary Davis' "Keep Your Lamps Trimmed And Burning," "Candy Man," Bukka White's 1930s prison lament, " Parchman Farm," and the band's own catchy instrumental, "Water Song." Another highlight is Kaukonen's solo acoustic number for the Airplane's Surrealistic Pillow album, "Embryonic Journey." Hot Tuna (both acoustic and electric) remain a touring act, and Paul Kantner is overseeing yet another incarnation of Jefferson Starship. Sadly, Papa John Creach died in 1994, at the age of 76.

    I remember the first time I remember hearing Hot Tuna. I was about 14, around 1977. I was spending the night at my Grand Daddy's house in BFE, Alabama. The grand parents went to bed after dark. I sat in the old front porch swing with my radio playing real softly. I burned a pinner of Gold, and stared out over his small farm and wondered at the simple beauty of the stars. I started hearing a song that made me turn it up. I was air guitaring fiercely when Grandmother came out, asked me to turn it down. I kissed her goodnight and put it to my ear as I walked down to see the cows, chickens and pigs. A magical night for a young man.

Had never listened to them till today. This just popped up on my feed after listening to something else. All I can say is WOW!! I have really been missing out!! They are my new favorite band. Merry Christmas to me, it is Christmas Eve morning 2020. What a way to start the Christmas holiday. Happy Holidays to everyone. Stay safe everyone. The end is in sight.

    Lovely concert. As a coffeehouse attendee in SF in the very early sixties, I chanced to meet Bill Graham while he was trying to find a sound system for his newly leased concert hall, the Fillmore. Being employed as a sound installer for background music systems helped a lot: I just liberated a dozen or more audio amps and about fifty high power wide-range 8" speakers, which I stuck on 4x8 ply wood sheets, eight to a sheet, generating a plane wave focused on the center of the dance floor. Worked pretty well, but Bill hired.a hotshot expensive sound engineering outfit with his new loot. I liked my system better -- you could stand right in front of the stage and not go deaf. Age of moderation.
    Did I mention my father was one of the first electronic technicians, way back in the Twenties. Now he'd be a hacker. He also worked for Electrovoice speakers, so I knew good sound before high fidelity was a thing. Dad also went to concerts in Chicago, all the big bands, blues, jazz. Worked in a concert hall parking lot, met many musicians.
    Went a few times to the Top of the Tangent in Palo Alto during Jorma's pure folkie stage, and used to sit in the front room and read Hermann Hesse while Jorma practiced, and practiced and practiced, sometimes ten hours straight. Perfect background.
    Jorma has a degree in Philosophy from Santa Clara U in San Jose. We have a mind in common. We talked many hours about pigs with wings and so on, often drug-enhanced..
    Became friends with Jorma, lived in East Palo Alto with him and friends in a rented house on East University Ave. Big back yard, used to have a little dirt track w tore up with a Harley Topper. Had an Electrovoice "Voice of the Theatre" Klipschorn speaker in the front room, 18" woofer, horn midrange/tweeter. Good Days, beer and BBQ.
    Also put in a little doodad at the Matrix Club in the Marina that sent the sound round and round the room, speakers all over. Psychedelic, 'twas the mood...Signe Toly, Marty's sister, was singing jazz there. She sang with the Airplane for a while, but got pregnant, I think.
    We also did quite a bit of motorcycling, Sunday Morning Ride. I was riding a BMW twin, I think a R50S, and Jorma a big single, maybe a Matchless, maybe a BSA Gold Star. The Jefferson Airplane didn't like the prospect of Jorma crashing, but he's as exact a biker as he is a guitarist. Still at it, but sadly Harley-Davidson is his brand now. They're very social...
    We were born a month apart. I'm the older. Saw him in Spokane at a concert our underground newspaper arranged sub rosa. Very right wing town, noisy echoing school gym, Gonzaga I think. Crappy sound, good vibes.though. Also saw his Key West concert in '88, when he met his current wife, Vanessa. Our 3 year old boat-kid loved it.
    Thanks for listening to an old fart talk. Hope you have many good memories!

      @@alleneverhart4141 Over the course of 50+ years, as I've said, there's been that opportunity to see them in intimate confines from time to time, be it that small club way out East end of L.I. (Amagannsett) to Levon's place in Woodstock. Mine was at The Tabernacle, a small octagonal room (holding, maybe 150 at best) in a Methodist community in north Jersey (Mt. Tabor). I believe they released a recording capturing that evening. Throw in the Sunshine Inn in Asbury Park which was a converted auto garage and was just a bit bigger than a shoebox.

Then the next day we cut school to see them play at the Waikiki Shell with a free concert where Ginger and I went backstage and while everyone was gushing over Grace and Marty and Paul we went to where Jack was sitting all by himself and I spoke with him for several minutes saying he had changed the way I played bass as I had never heard that kind of killer bass playing. He let me sit and play a few notes on his incredible Alembic..Serial number 001. Wish I had taken a camera and gotten my picture taken with him.

    Awesome! Love me some Tuna. I've been lucky enough to catch both electric and acoustic shows. Saw Steve Earle open for them during their Steady as She Goes tour and saw them with GE Smith too on that tour and the tour before that one. The Hot Tuna Blues tour was also good if you dig old blues songs. Recently saw Jorma and Barry last year also. One of my favorite acts to see. You cannot have a bad time!

    Luv me some Hot Tuna; in ALL their incarnations. This was an essential regrouping of several Airplane / Starship members; Esp. Papa John! In 1967, Creach met and befriended drummer Joey Covington. When Covington joined the Jefferson Airplane in 1970, he introduced Creach to them, and they invited him to join Hot Tuna. Though regarded as a session musician, he remained with the band for four years, before leaving in 1974 to join Jefferson Starship and record on their first album, Dragon Fly. Creach toured with Jefferson Starship and played on the band's hit album Red Octopus in 1975. Around 1976, Creach left to pursue a solo career. Despite this, he was a guest musician on the spring 1978 Jefferson Starship tour.
    A year later, Creach renewed his working relationship with Covington as a member of the San Francisco All-Stars, as well as with Covington's Airplane predecessor, Spencer Dryden, as a member of The Dinosaurs. He also continued occasional guest appearances with Hot Tuna, and was on stage at the Fillmore Auditorium in 1988 when Jack Casady and Jorma Kaukonen of Hot Tuna reunited with Paul Kantner and Grace Slick for the first time since Jefferson Airplane disbanded.
    In 1992, he became one of the original members of Jefferson Starship - The Next Generation and performed with them until he succumbed to congestive heart failure on February 22, 1994. A heart condition had been causing bouts of neumonia from continual fluid build-up in his lungs.
    He was 76. RIP Papa John
    Miss you good friend.Peace, Luv & Eternal Harmonie, Blues Cat Keef

    Just saw this today. Great show. Was lucky enough to see Jorma and Hurl at the ranch this past year. It was the first quarantaine show with a live audience. Just 30 of us. Also just saw Jorma at the Beacon with Tedeschi Trucks. He came out and jammed with them on 2 songs, one of them was Key to the Highway. He still sounds great.

      You sound like the guy who laid two tix to the son of a friend and touring buddy. Jack Jr. worked at a Shop Rite somewhere's along Rte. 9. I enjoyed the shit out of their going to FPR and talking with John H. and Jorma. They had themselves a 'time of it', and I have no doubt it was you, based on your handle.

      Another attendee here. I'd already seen Jack join Jorma's show at the GAMH shortly before (with brother Peter opening, and even joining them), so it was no surprise to see Hot Tuna officially back in action ... with Paul Kantner? Then Grace? Then Papa John? Hilariously, old Papa John was least content with the sit-down vibe of the evening & promptly kicks into his own uptempo song. Jorma looked highly amused. Grace was Grace. A special night indeed.

The kind gentleman in front of me, struck up conversation. Not sure if he saw me exit after the first show or saw me looking for a ticket in the street, because he asked if I had a ticket. I said "no". We talked some more, only a few words. He than offered me one. If your out here in cyber space and see this, Thank you kind sir.
