RARE - Jefferson Starship - Count on Me - Live Rehearsal Version (1978)

  • The original members of Jefferson Starship during a Live rehearsal for their then-upcoming album, Earth, at the Seacliff, San Francisco, home of Paul Kantner and Grace Slick in 1978 (which, by the way, was the final album of this line-up). Note the signature guitar solo of Craig Chaquico that has more of an English-style ending than what was ultimately heard on the recording. This is because, at the time, Craig's early influences were not only the American guitarists that his bandmate Pete Sears had already played and recorded with, such as John Cipollina and Jimi Hendrix, but those that shared Pete's British heritage like artists Rod Stuart and Jeff Beck.

      To be fair, these folks used whatever technical shmear du jour was available for each album as they tried to keep getting songs on the radio. That's why this 'unplugged' vid is so refreshing.

Today the only love songs are sung by children who were on Barney and former Disney stars who grew up in studios and need no talent they just do voice overs. Aerosmith did a few love songs even Ozzy Osbourne came close to a love song LOL. I don't know about lovey dovey but this song is Kick-Ass

    God I feel old. I thought I recognised this and yes at the end there it was. Recorded for The Old Grey Whistle Test in 1978 and I watched that programme and remember this track burnt into my memory ever since. I believe they also did Miracles on the same programme. They supported Genesis at Knebworth that year and I was there to see them perform. What a fantastic time to be alive and into music. I remember those days with a fondness but also a sadness that they will never come back and must remain memories.

      I was at Knebworth too. For Genesis really but I had the Earth album from Jefferson Starship so was looking forward to seeing them. Shame Grace Slick didn't get to the gig after "problems" in Germany the previous night. Tom Petty was there too and Devo got a load of stuff thrown at them. Not really the right band to be on that bill. Great times back then. When your dad and grandad didn't want to see the same stuff as you ...
