His vocal range is just, wow!!!
If you find any of the clips of recent concerts, he hasn't lost much of that range with age.
Mickey is what singers call "a perfect tenor". Amazing vocal range, great tone and beautiful melodies.
Mickey Thomas played football for Wrexham Man Utd and wales
Yep.. when he first appeared I thought no… you can’t match slick… but quickly I had to admit: he’s better. His range and tone are ridiculous….
Oh, Mickey! His strong, high, clear, perfect voice always takes my breath.
Classic banger. Just an awesome song and out of this world vocals. 🔥
This is the same vocalist-Mickey Thomas, who sang lead vocals on the song 'Fooled Around and Fell In Love'.
Mickey has some golden pipes.
Love this song and Mickey Thomas's voice is so powerful and emotional!! Gives you the feels!!🎶💜-Y'all just did "Fooled Around And-Fell In Love" where his vocals-were also so powerful!! Actually Elvin Bisbop was listed-as the-artist, but Mickey Thomas did the vocals!🎶💜🎵
Mickey Thomas’ voice is very underrated. He should be up there with Steve Perry, Freddie Mercury and (imo) Dennis DeYoung.
Waaaaaaaaay underrated !! He and Brad Delp of Boston never got their 'just do'. They are every bit as good if not better than Perry, Mercury and DeYoung IMO.
Very underrated. Just fantastic range
In no way is he underrated.
Mickey Thomas is way better than Steve perry by along shot
@@fryerobert093 - As much as I love Mickey, Steve is simply better.
The drummer on this is Ansley Dunbar (Journey, Jefferson Starship and many others)
Asia & BJ, you'll love Jefferson Starship's "Miracles", "Count On Me" and "Play On Love"!!! edit- correction, Mickey Thomas on lead vocals, thank you Ralph Filigenzi. Mickey and David Freiberg both sang it live, but David co-wrote it with Jim McPherson.
Chronologically its was Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship and then Starship. Grace Slick was in all 3 groups
But this studio version from 1979 was Mickey Thomas.
Miracles a beautiful song !! My very first album as a teen !!
Yep. Your comments nailed this group down perfectly. 🤘😎
@@ronaldelliott4373 thank you
I never looked to Jefferson Airplane/Starship for amazing guitar work, but this song kicks ass.
Oh no, are you kidding??? Craig Chaquico was off the chain! Check out "Save Your Love" for a finale with Craig and Aynsley Dunbar blowing the roof off.
One of the greatest pop/rock songs ever. Radio-pop structure with rock backbeat and instrumentation. All hats off to Mickey Thomas ... all day, every day.
BJ, the drummer on this song is also the drummer on the next song y'all reacted to. His name is Aynsley Dunbar. He was in Journey before he joined Jefferson Starship. He played with Whitesnake, Jeff Beck and David Bowie back in the day. He is literally considered one of the best rock drummers of all time.
What happened was that John Barbata, the drummer for Jefferson Starship (who had been in The Turtles and Crosby Stills Nash & Young before that) got into an awful car wreck, took a couple of years to heal, and ended up retiring from music. (He's fine. Just quit the biz.)
So the Starship needed a drummer, and as Journey wasn't exactly a big name (and perhaps Dunbar thought new vocalist Steve Perry was changing the direction of the band too much), it wasn't too hard for them to convince Aynsley to switch to the #1 band on the San Francisco scene. (Of course, within 5 years, Journey had gone supersonic and were doing stadium tours, but so it goes.)
Dunbar had left the band by the time Paul Kantner (RIP) also quit, meaning that there were no original Jefferson Airplane members left, and so Kantner was able to stop them from using the "Jefferson" part of the name. (Remember, Grace Slick was not an original part of the Airplane.). But as "Starship", Mickey Thomas and the group had enormous success anyhow. ("We Built This City" and so forth.) Indeed, they once again surpassed Journey, who were broken up by then. So Dunbar kind of missed the boat, both coming and going.
The drummer on those later "Starship" albums is Donny Baldwin, who's with the touring present-day Jefferson Starship. (Kantner's dead, so they can use "Jefferson" again.). Singing for the group appears to be David Freiberg, who was playing the keyboards and doing backing vocals on this track. I don't see Mickey Thomas listed as being in the current group; I think he's touring on his own, nowadays.
(The reason poor Chris Smith doesn't have his name in blue on Wikipedia is because, unlike all the others, he doesn't have a Wikipedia page of his own. Guy's been in the band for 25 years now; they could give him a little bit of respect, lol.)
@Jessica Roth Aynsley was actually fired by Journey after a gig in Oakland in 1978. He actually sued them over it - and won. I don't think he officially joined Starship until early 1979 but I don't remember all the circumstances. I know Freedom at Point Zero didn't come out until late 79.
@@clarkmacgowan5114 Did not know that! They actually fired Aynsley to hire Steve Smith? Incredible. (Some people love Smith, but I don't.)
Do you have a link to any articles? I'd love to learn more. Thanks.
Pretty sure he did the lead vocals on "Fooled around and fell in love"
It was obvious you guys were hooked after about 5 seconds, as were we all when we first heard. Jefferson Airplane/Starship is well worth your time, thanks for this
Right from the first chords played I know what I'm about to jam to. I've heard this song so many times and yet I won't fast forward because it's such a great song to just groove to. So many good songs with this band. Though Grace Slick was more prominent in Jefferson Airplane, she does sing some songs with Jefferson Starship and Starship. There's a song they sing called "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" that is featured in the 80s movie Mannequin that's a good song and a cute movie as well. 😎👍
Aynsley Dunbar on the skins I'm pretty sure. This album was awesome back then & JANE was huge on the radio.
When you guys did Fooled Around and Fell In Love by Elvin Bishop, Micky Thomas who is singing Jane also sang that song before he was with Starship.
yep
Nope David Freiberg predated Mickey
@@viacrucis2509 it was Mickey Thomas singing “Fool Around and Fell in Love”
Find Your Way Back is another Starship banger that is pretty awesome! Great guitar work and vocals!
Mickey Thomas! One of the greatest voices of all time! 🎤😎 He also did the vocals on "Fooled Around and Fell In Love" by Elvin Bishop, which you guys reacted to back in January. More Jefferson Starship/Starship: "Find Your Way Back", "Sara", "We Built This City", and "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now". Several of these tracks also feature the amazing Grace Slick on vocals. 😎😎😎
Welcome aboard the Starship, Mickey Thomas. His vocal power helped to launch this group into the upper atmosphere and beyond !! Mickey Thomas was paired with Grace Slick after leaving Elvin Bishop, whose song FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE, you recently reacted to, gave the group a new and updated sound. His vocals also brought them new fans and new glory at the end of the 7o's.
On their next album, MODERN TIMES, two songs display real thrust and are underrated gems in their catalog, which built upon this success. FIND YOUR WAY BACK and STRANGER are very powerful. Enjoy
..."Runaway" and "Count On Me" sang by Marty Balin, also "Find Your Way Back", "Sara" and "We Built This City" should be added to y'all's playlist too, they are all really great late 70's & early 80's Classic Hard/Soft Rock songs, check Elvin Bishop's "Fooled Around and Fell In Love", the lead singer Mickey Thomas, who took over lead vocals w/Grace Slick for "Jefferson Starship" and later just "Starship"...
"Winds of Change" and "Fine Your Way Back". Should play the official video for Winds to watch the great interaction between Mickey and Grace Slick.
"Find Your Way Back" is some fire.
@@joeday4293 Back in the day...I had that on REPEAT!!!!
The vocalist on this one was Mickey Thomas former lead singer of the Elvin Bishop band (FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE)...
Probably around 20 years ago I went to a rock concert I think it was labeled as the voices of Rock.. the headliner was Paul Rodgers and the opening act was Mickey Thomas and before that was kip winger.... And I remember those three guys sounded great I believe there was a couple other acts that played but they weren't very good...
How lucky am I that I grew up with this song on radio every single day? And still is on classic stations everywhere. This was the best era in music history!!!
"find your way back" is another gem with mickey thomas at the vocal helm...later on he turned "sara" into a beautiful song...
YES! Mickey Thompson! He's GREAT!
This was the first tune my cousin Tony introduced me to by Jefferson Airplane (Starship) and showed me how to play on drums...1981.....
This vocalist, Mickey Thomas is the guy who sang "Fooled Around And Fell In Love" ...
Mickey Thomas also sang Fooled Around and Fell in Love. You probably remember that reaction from about a month ago. Peace.
Watch one of the live versions of this. They nail it, spot on. His vocal is so tight!
this lead singer, Mickey Thomas is the same lead singer from Elvin Bishop, sang the song, Fooled around and fell in love, Mickey Thomas is an incredible singer.
*Elvin
@@Lige my mistake, Elvin Bishop
“Find Your Way Back” “Familiar Stranger” and “No Way Out” are more bangers with Mickey Thomas on vocals
In my rock band days, one band I was in wanted a high-pitch singer. We auditioned singers by asking them to get CLOSE to this, lol. Easy for us to play, not easy for the singer! 😏
I saw them on this original tour in Berkeley CA...so good! Mickey Thomas and Grace Slick are amazing vocalists, and the rest of the band are great musicians all around. Go see them if you get a chance!
This was and still is a great song. Actually David Frieberg and Mickey Thomas both performed this song live and as the lead singer at different times.
The great Mickey Thomas on vocals and Aynsley Dunbar on drums.
Just wait until you hear some of the high notes Mickey Thomas hits with "No Way Out" & "Sara". The dude has got some unbelievable chops! Peace.
When this song first came out I wore it out for a long time and it still is one of my all time favorite rock songs
I feel like I grew up with some of the greatest music ever made
Y’all finally did it ! The guy who sings folded around and fell in love Elvin bishop , he got vocals for sure ! Eddy from MB SC , love y’all thanks !
Charted in the Summer of 1979. Awesome vocal range
Seemed like only yesterday!!!!
@@greg2976 The older you get the faster it goes. 😢 Summer of soph. year.
@@jakerazmataz852 The most underrated statement ever! Class of '77
@@jakerazmataz852 Let me rephrase that. No truer statement ever said!
@@greg2976 The only good thing is the way things are going IDGAF. I've got 🔫's and what goes in them, and an RV. 😁
Someone mentioned the drummer going off on the livestream. That is none other than the legend Aynsley Dunbar. He has played with some of the best rockers ever through out his career.
Mickey Thomas... one of the very best vocalists! 🔥🔥🔥
The singer (Micky Thomas) also sang for Elvin Bishop back in the day (fooled around and fell in love)
The piano is the shiz on this number, it is the heart of the song, the guitar is a close second.
@Asia and BJ
*ASIA ASIA ASIA!!!!!* This post is specifically for you!! You and me are the same when it comes to the guitar and I *REALLY* want to turn you on to a song from the same album as this song. It wasn't a hit or anything but I'm truly hoping you'll overlook that fact and give it a listen on your channel. I've been imploring nearly every reactor to check it out with no luck. Please please please be the one to break that chain. The song is called "Awakening" and it's about 7 minutes long. I feel as though it's what this band would sound like if they were a full-time progressive rock band. Of course, to the point, the guitar in this song just rips, especially during the outro. It's Craig Chaquico on the lead guitar. The rest of the line-up is Mickey Thomas, lead vocals .... Paul Kantner, rhythm guitar and backing vocals ..... David Freiberg, keyboards and backing vocals ..... Pete Sears, bass guitar and backing vocals .... Aynsley Dunbar, (who had just left Journey) on drums.
Please please please be that Supergirl for me and see your way clear to *experiencing* this song. If I could, I would bet my life that you won't regret it!!! The cherry on top is that I want everyone that watches you two to experience it also. It *IS* that good!!
BTW, much respect to BJ, you guys are really great together and I wish you much happiness in the future regardless of your decision.
I was one of the people who requested this when you reacted to Elvin Bishop's 'Fooled Around and Fell in Love." Jefferson Starship had several vocalists over the years, but the vocalist here is the same (Mickey Thomas) and this song displays his vocal awesomeness. I love the start of the guitar solo also. This song is total fire.
One of the best concerts I've been to!! They are as good live!!
This is my favorite Jefferson Starship or Starship song and probably even including Jefferson Airplane! This song rocks and is FIRE!! Another rockin' Jefferson Starship song with a great guitar solo is Ride the Tiger from 1975 with a great guitar solo that you should react to if you haven't yet
Unmatched power vocals with the exception of Steve Perry - Mickey Thomas is a master
Steve perry does not have the range of mickey Thomas at all
Glad to see you liked this song, think I mentioned it sometime back. Other songs to consider,
"Hold the Line" by Toto, "Ebony Eyes" by Bob Welch, and one of my favorites "Livin in the Lime-Light" by Peter Cetara (formally from a group called Chicago). Check em out!
I love this song! " We Built this city " is a good one from this Jefferson Airplane/ Starship era
Same guy sang Fooled Around and Fell in Love. Mickey Thomas. Great voice
The lead is the great Mickey Thomas of Elvin Bishop who sang the incredible I Fooled Around and fell in Love
Definitely one of the greatest singers ever
Hes still performing and does both songs that sounds like they did in the past. Worth seeing Mickey in concery
Oh this my song I still listen this almost everyday 😁
Good choice. I really like this one.
Glad you like it!
Yeah this song is heavy. I Loved growing up through the mid 70s and all of the 80s. Great music!!
Yes, Jefferson Starship. I like "Somebody to Love, Miracles, Sara, We built this City & White Rabbit. Grace Slick was a great coming out of the Bay Area in the 60s, her vocals are awesome. "White Rabbit" was featured in the Movie Platoon when the Veterans were partying in the underworld.
Thank you Asia & Bj, you both are Cool, Stay Warm. I sent you a tune I did with 2 Hip Hop Rapper Brothers, I hope you both like it! The Bass Player for Jefferson - Jack Casady jammed with Jimi Hendrix on "Voodoo Child" Take care and keep your ears open. Twyl
Best rock, gospel, soul voice all combined ever!
David Bowie put out an album of some of his favorite "British Invasion"-era songs - Pin-Ups - that has drummer Aynsley Dunbar on it (he was a well-respected "hired gun"): his playing on it "smokes", as well.
Mickey Thomas is an amazing singer
Wife here..,John Micheal Thomas on Vocals..on Drums John Barbata..The change up of this band is/was always incredible...Would you believe..Grace Slick..OG Female Rocker!!..Marty Balin!!!..Of "White Rabbit"..Alot of different sounds..different decades!!!💯🤘❤️
No John Barbata here,he had left the previous year,it's Aynsley Dunbar on drums,no Grace Slick or Marty Balin here either,as they had split at the same time as John Barbata.
This is off of their album 'Freedom At Point Zero' which is an absolutely brilliant album.
This was the VERY first LP that I EVER bought!!
You guys have to react to 'Miracles' by Jefferson Starship
Remember Elvin Bishop Fooled Around & Fell in Love? This is the same vocalist... : )
Mickey Thomas was singing here. You heard him before. Remember Elvin Bishop "Fooled Around and Fell In Love"? That was Mickey Thomas singing.
I saw them in concert way back when but if you have a chance to see them, please do, you won't regret it, they were great in concert 👍🥰
He also sings "Fooled around and fell in Love" :)
Mickey Thomas is a great singer. Give their "It's Not Enough" "Find Your Way Back" "We Built This City" a try. I karaoked "Find Your Way Back" once, it was fun!
Jefferson Airplane was founded in 1966 San Francisco by Marty Balin and Paul Kantner. Jefferson Starship was founded in 1974 by Paul Kantner and Grace Slick.
That's Mickey Thomas, same guy as Fooled Around and Fell in Love by Elvin Bishop Band
The people who are in the band now are mostly not the people who recorded "Jane."
Craig Chaquico was the lead guitarist and Aynsley Dunbar was the drummer on the recording. Mickey Thomas was the vocalist in the studio.
Paul Kantner was one of the founding members, but he died in 2016, so he is no longer with the band.
Very few bands from the 60's are still THE bands of the 60's. Even the Rolling Stones have only 2 original members left.
Glad to see younger people listening to music I heard growing up. If you haven't heard Stranger by Jefferson Starship check it out some time. Great lead guitars on that one.
Mickey Thomas also sang Fooled Around and Fell in Love by Elvin Bishop. Keep up the good work. F.O.E.
You two are masters of expressing your reactions on how a song can hit you to the core.Your detail to the little things are impressive as well......cheers! And rock on!
Forgot how much I love this song!!! Loved this reaction.
A roller skating rink song from my middle school days.
There are so many great starship songs. I love all their songs. ESP Marty balin era
One more that has the same type of piano is Find Your Way Back. That one is awesomw as well
This is timeless just imagine hearing this at 8 years old 😂my soul took off to another plane❤️🤘❤️✊🏽💯
This dude has serious pipes!
I just turned 57 2 weeks ago. This song is in my top 3 EVER. Straight Fire even the music all the way to the end
There with so much talent in this band.
The same drummer, Anysley Dunbar, believe it or not, that played on the Whitesnake 1987 album with Still of the Night, Here I Go Again etc.
Saw them on this tour 1981, top ten singer
Jane was my favorite song for quite some time when it came out. I was born in 1966
A perfect Banger! Every instrument played a part. Beating the mess outa those drums is correct sir!
This is a great song and was a rock station staple back in the day. My favorite by far by Jefferson Starship was Find Your Way Back. I bought the 45 of it and played the hell out of it......
THAT VOICE❤Hes STILL touring singing his ass off still got that ridiculous range, Mickey Thomas is one of the all-time great vocalists, no question.
Mickey Thomas was lead on the studio version.
Yes! My favorite song by them and one of my fave rock songs ever.
Hey guys you’ve both heard Micky Thomas sing before, and recently, when you both reacted to the Elvin Bishop Classic, “Fooled Around And Fell In Love.” You’ve also done another Classic from this group when they were called Jefferson Airplane in the 60’s and early 70’s. Grace Slicks’ amazing vocal on “White Rabbit.” This is the late sixties perfectly encapsulated in a 3 and 1/2 minute song. Try “Miracle’s” next. Very cool. 🤘😎
One track you need to check out is Mickey Thomas solo track "Stand In The Fire" from the Youngblood ST.
It was written by the great songwriter Diane Warren, and features only three musicians. Producer Peter Wolf playing the keyboards and programming a sick drum machine beat. And guitarist Dann Huff laying down a fiery rhythm guitar line, and lastly, fellow Starship member guitarist Craig Chaquico ripping on a tasty lead guitar solo.
If you don't react to it, at least give it a listen.
Love this song Love this band. . Mostly because of the lead singer Mickey Thomas. He sings the famous fooled around and fell in love.
You can't go wrong with Mick and Slick!!
Mickey and his great voice is still rockin this song and fooled around and fell in love
The song demands you get out of your chair and ROCK OUT!
Jefferson Starship!!! Listen to “Find Your Way Back.”
Yep, you guys already did a song by the great Mickey Thomas… Elvin Bishop’s “Fooled Around & Fell In Love”!
Always been a great voice.
I don’t know how many original member of Jefferson Airplane remained in the band at this point. There were at least a couple including Grace Slick, although I don’t know if she’s even on this track and I don’t know when Mickey Thomas joined…probably when they changed the name to Jefferson Starship which later became just Starship. Hard to believe this is the same band that did “White Rabbit”, but this song is fire.
Hey Asia and BJ!! Greetings from SETX. I recommend you check out Winds of Change, it's a banger! Mickey Thomas, the singer, also sang on Elvin Bishop's Fooled Around and Fell in Love ☮️ ✌️ ❤️🇺🇸🎸
Freak awesome guitar solo!!
Mickey Thomas is the same singer in the Elvin Bishop group... "Fooled around and fell in love".
