Folks this dude is 71 years old and still has the pipes to sing like that. Impressive!!!
No shit!! I'm impressed!!! Love Jane!
Fantastic voice!!!
👍 👍
Agreed. I don’t even know how I came across this and was ready to clown it. But he sounds great.
but not as good as Balin
I have never heard a 71 year old man sing like that. He has protected his gift.
Sammy Hagar is the same age, maybe a tad older....same thing, sings awesome

@@turdoirishman
Robin McCauley isn't 70.
@@dowens3781 You're right. Mixed it up and correted it. Thanks
@@turdoirishman you can add Dennis DeYoung (ex Styx) to that list too.
Mickey is still hitting those high notes - not afraid to perform all his repertoire
That includes several mind-boggling highly complex male vocals
Mickey is probably one of the best rock singers of all times
Insane. He always was one of the best vocalists. He hasn't lost a thing.
Amen. Love starship. All they're songs!!
Mickey is a living legend! In my opinion the most underrated vocalist there is. He is for sure top 10! Crazy talented!
He is not underrated by people who know.
@@tallan9698 true that!😁👍
There are still plenty of old singers still pulling it off. Lets enjoy these amazing singers while they are still around. Mickey, DeYoung, Ozzy, Jack Russell, and I am sure there are a few others. What a great time to be alive! However, lets not forget Janis, Elvis, Cash, Sinatra, Sammy, Dean, and omg so many others.
Excellent vocals by one of the best rock singers of all time: Mickey Thomas. The late Brad Delp of Boston was in the same league.
Don't forget Robin Zander
@Dallas D Pretty deep dive into being a prick at this point. Slightly impressive. I'd be interested in any thread of talent you have besides being a protected/ anonymous keyboard hero
What can I say? Mickey Thomas is simply an exceptional vocalist! Always amazing and still performing at such a high level! Kudos to him for maintaining his incredible talent!
Steve Walsh in his prime was great. Rik Emmett. Geddy Lee in his prime(while playing bass like that AND keyboards. Robert Plant. There's always others.
@@petergriffin9338 Not at 71
Beautiful show....and tears in my eyes ...happy to see this great singer Mickey alive and kicking...singing very very well, Remember the old good times.....this is real music.
He’s 71 beyond amazing. And the mix is perfect.
WOW! All the great male rock singers who don't take care of their voices and lose them far too soon, and this dude at 71 still just KILLING it. Not even having to tune down. Love it!
Mickey Thomas and Paul Rodgers are my favorite rock singers of ALL time. Mickey’s singing is STILL unbelievable! He has a killer band backing him up too. Take note kiddies. THIS is how to do it.
You know it's good when you see the Marshall and Ampeg amps kicking out!
I agree. Everyone is pulling their weight in this band. Not a weak link. Superb!
@@lovedofgod.4905 I am not sure but it could be the keys are simply out of range of the shot. In other vids, the keys are stage right, so this shot is left of the drummer.
In all other live shows from Starship the keyboard player is always far on the right side. He's there.
I just seen Paul Rogers and my mind was blown but here Mickey isn’t even lowering the keys of the songs and his voice is harder to maintain with all the highs. Amazing!
Mickey is one of the best vocalists in the history of rock and roll. Just absolutely incredible.
Absolutely Mindblowing for 71 FREAKING years old!!!!!!!!
71 is young.
Mindblowing period. Dude can sing.
there is no rockstar of his age singing like this, not even ONE! THOMAS is from another planet! brilliant!!
He's one of the greatest Rock singers ever.
Brings happiness to my heart hearing Mickey Thomas just absolutely bringing it. John Roth and Jeff Adams just as amazing! Keep on Rockin’ Spread some Love!
I’m a big fan of Mickey Thomas. He revitalized Jefferson Starship and still sounds great today! 👍
I told my grandson I still play rock drums at 64, he said wow, then I showed him this. Superb keep rockin Mickey!!
Damn! He opened his mouth to sing that first line and holy crap! He’s still got it!
INDEED!! A TRUE PRO🔝🔝🔝🔝💯💯💯
I’m surprised Grace Slick hired him because he’s so much better than she is. That’s cool she did.
@@kingofallwhites He was hired by Jefferson Starship after Marty Balin and Grace Slick left.
He’s killing it with Jane. My favorite Jefferson Starship song.
Wow his voice is still incredible!
That voice brings back so many memories. He has played with so many legends. He's a legend himself quite frankly.
The opening belt from Mickey Thomas in "Laying it On the Line" is beyond epic. I mean it is literally 1984 again. What he is doing here is impossible at 71. Impossible. All respect to Mickey Thomas, arguably the greatest rock vocalist of all time.
Such an incredible singer!
Ever since Fooled Around And Fell In Love came out I have admired this guy’s voice...he is amazing.
Just amazing! Mickey hasn't lost his voice at all. One of my all time favorite vocalists!
Congrats to Mickey Thomas for letting his hair go natural and just for his general awesomeness.
sad to report that in 2021 he he's gone brunette again. pity.
@@emmetthennessy9962 When you started your sentence with "sad to say" my heart dropped and I was fearing the worst....and you said it, no more gray hair 😥😥
@@emmetthennessy9962 Mickey has great hair whatever color!
@@newavatar2947Me too! So glad it was just a hair comment lol
Pardon my french but GAWDAYUM!!! . How the hell is Mickey still hitting those high notes?!?!?! LEGENDARY STATUS. Love this man
Like most of the comments here, I am blown away at how amazing Mickey sounds here. To hit those notes on “Jane” would be tough or impossible for singers half his age. Remarkable. The whole band sounds tight as hell and their tunes only get better with time, especially contrasted against the absolute rubbish that most popular music is today.
Holy crap Mickey sound fantastic! Brings a tear to my eye. Just wonderful.
Most bands 20 years younger are playing their songs half to a whole step down. This is all original keys. Awesome
Warms my heart to see him looking and sounding SO good! Excellent!
This is simply amazing. Only TWO artist that I'm aware of from the 70's era rock scene who are still performing in 2021 and still singing in their original key and registrations, not missing a beat. That is Mickey Thomas (71) of Elvin Bishop - Starship, and Dennis DeYoung (74) of Styx fame. Both artist had solo offerings but are most associated with their respective groups. Most artist loose their high range abilities as they age but not Mickey or Dennis, both are hotter than ever and keeping their music from the 70's-80's alive for younger generations to experience. Such true inspirations to their craft.
FYI: Mickey originally sang background vocals in a gospel rock group entitled "Gideon and Power".....He basically learned almost every vocal "lick" from that group's leader, Gideon Daniels, who is no longer with us... One interesting note about Mickey....no matter how late we partied on the road....his voice never left him...I was always amazed at that.
Consider Mark Farner of Grand Funk Railroad to that list. Mark turns 75 in a couple of days and still sings in the original key and nailing those high notes. Mickey and Mark sound very similar tone wise. Mickey is off the charts. Golden throat!
I was at EPCOT in October 2018 with my then 15 year old daughter and he was performing at the Food & Wine Festival. We watched about 25-30 minutes and my daughter realized she knew a number of songs and sang along. I was proud of that. A fun show.
as a child of the 60s,70s,,they still rock!!!!!!!!!!!!thank you for posting!!!!!
Mickey Thomas is and has always been phenomenal! Such a great singer!
Amazing one of the best voices ever and still sounds unbelievable
Vince Neil needs to watch this.
@@crusheverything4449 hahahahaha couldn’t of said it better myself.
I hear that
Now this guy can still kick ass no bullshit
Neil never could sing.
Why,? There's no, comparison,
This guy is flat out amazing. Rock on Mickey Thomas!
Mickey just proved some things get better with age...He's still kicking ass and still rocking...!!! and has kept Starship Alive...!!! Rock on Mickey...!!!
You can tell by the energy they are just loving this,performing for a live audience.
Mickey can still hang them high notes,he hasn’t lost a bit of that amazing voice.Now if I could just go to a live concert in southern Ontario,I would be happy.
I'm so damned happy that Mickey's gigging again. I now have the mission to catch him a couple times this year. His band is kick freakin ass. His voice is and has always been so amazing. I'm taking my 18 year old son to see this act this year. He sings like I have in bands and it's just amazing how great this guy's voice has always been and still is.
71 yrs old and he does not tune the songs down or use any auto tune. Younger people, you will not see any of your current music acts playing at this level 10 years after their up time, let alone at 71. Just wow.
Amazing energy and vocals from Mickey....TIMELESS! Gracias!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing... Been enjoying Mickey's unreal talent for decades.. he's still got it. Blessed
Mickey Thomas always had one of the best voices and still does.
Outstanding .
Damn!! Another old-school guy killin' it. My old drummer got the gig as Air Supply's new drummer and WOW 😲 that guy's vocals are still spot on too 💯🤘😎
Old guys showing em how it's done!!
Mickey is a Beast on vocals!! He Kills Journey covers too!!
Super impressive. Mickey sounds awesome for ANY AGE. Just a proven and pure talent. Band is on point as is Stephanie. Great to see live shows once again. It’s about time !
This makes my heart proud. And puts a smile on my face😇
Can’t believe he’s still got the voice, wow 🤩!!!!
What a voice. He hasn’t lost anything!! Can’t wait to see them live when they come to Utah!
The young lady sang Grace’s songs really well. Loved it. And of course Mickey’s voice hasn’t changed. The best period
the young lady was stephanie calvert- who was fired after 15 yrs with micky for having covid !
The whole band rocked. As others have said Mickey sounds fantastic. Great concert!
Amazing absolutely amazing he still got the golden voice
Ageless!! Wonderful voice, Mickey. I enjoyed the female vocalist as well. Strong intonation.
Love Mickey Thomas still can belt songs out like was still in 20'd one of a kind keep up the good work
That’s impressive for his age ! That’s a natural voice, no auto tune !
Mickey Thomas is killing it !!!!..... amazing he still has his incredible voice ! The band and the FOH mix are great too !!!!
Mickey Thomas has always been impressive. His voice is magical and I am so happy he has retained his range and tone unlike many of his peers. Oh yea, great seeing John Roth too! Blessings!!
His voice sounds great. Always loved their hits.
John Roth on guitar. Killer
All the melody he deliver is so pleasant to my ear... Unique
Definitely doing the Craig parts proud and adding his own flavor in there too.
@David Sim Music I thought that was him! He rips.
Thank you. Second i seen him thought - that's the guy from winger
Dude is killing it!!👊
Wow! Mickey is still amazing. Singers have such a shorter shelf life compared to their musician counterparts and yet...he can still sing in that same key! Too cool!
Holy cow!!!
From the first sentence out of his mouth I knew this was going to be good...
Impressive!
Nice harmonies too
Mickey is my favorite! So happy to see him still plugging away. May God continue to Bless Him!
Great music Great show guys. Sound was fantastic and Mickey sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Mickey has always hit his notes effortlessly. And still at 71?? Can't think of another male crooner that can do that. Bravo!!
It's a beautiful thing to see Mr. Mickey Thomas can still hit those high notes! Band is also awesome, backing vocals, superb! Thank your for posting this! What a treat!
I saw them last night in Anaheim. How the hell a 72 year old man can have such powerful vocals is insane. Fantastic job Mickey!!!!
I love this! I saw Starship in 1983 and Mickey's voice is as good now as then!
Unbelievable that he still sounds great at his age!
Mickey Thomas is not underrated.....He can still perform those incredible vocals.....Amazing in my opinion
Simply phenomenal...
He always had a magical vocal range and it's amazing to see and hear him again.
He is better than ever and the band is solid and tight.
Keep rocking and never look back.
The younger generation need to watch and learn as this is how it is done.
Fantastic performance.......
I truly hope they tour.
Rap music has nothing on this...
I love seeing amazing artists still have talent never lost it kudos to the band I watched the whole concert totally impressed these people gave a stellar performance
Thanks for this upload! Amazing band with a long, rich, history! They were my 1st live act I ever saw, " We built this City " tour at Darien Center, NY! Remember it like it was yesterday! The Outfield opened for them
Wow! Mickey has still got it! What a great singer.
This is a stunning performance by all concerned. Thank you for the music ❣️🎵
This is insane! Mickey is one of the greatest singers ever! Wow...at 71mhe has lost no range at all. Jeff Adams on bass is fantastic as well! Great voice on him as well!
When I close my eyes and listen, Mickey sounds just as good as ever! Peace brother!
The best and most powerfully voice in rock n’ roll! Mickey Thomas isn’t underrated, but he definitely doesn’t get the “mentions” that some other vocalists get.
Just now seeing this Video and man I am Blown Away on how good Mickey Thomas still sounds. He has not lost those pipes! He and the whole Band are Awesome! This man is 71 years old!
Great capture Sarah!
Great band with really top-notch talent. Mickey Thomas is one of rock's very best vocalists (for... 50 years).
Thank you so much for sharing this!
Where's the auto-tune...There ain't none folk's...Mickey "Got Pipes" Thomas...✌🤘🤙😉
Thank you for posting. I'm glad to have seen this.....awesome show. I saw Starship back around 1987, amazing how Mickey Thomas sounds today. Always liked his voice from when I first heard him sing with Elvin Bishop.
Wow. no tuning down so he can hit the notes here! Mickey is still kicking ass. I have been a fan since Elvin Bishop and Mickey's solo album in 1978, which featured a great cut called "Can You Fool".
This is soooo good! What vocals! Harmonies! The band! AMAZING!!!! LOVED EVERY SECOND!!!
The band is sounding GREAT! Mickey Thomas' vocals are practically pristine... amazing! Stephanie Calvert is superb... the whole band is top notch... would be cool if they had at least a cloth banner with the band's name on it flying behind them on stage... would def pay to see them!
I was in a choir that backed him up a few years ago at an event at Stanford. I thought “what does he have left”? He is an amazing singer. I’m not a fan of Anthem Rock, but I appreciate his talent and ability to take dare of his voice.
Holy shit, still sounds incredible
Still got an amazing voice at his age...WOW!
Mickey Thomas voice is still incredible
It's astonishing to hear such great vocals, I must say he hasn't missed a stepll
Are you kidding me. Cripes where has he been for 30 years. That Voice is Incredible. No Lie Starships rebirth was in Great due to this Gentleman.
I first herd of starship in early 80s instantly became a fan then went back to elvin bishop days WOW ! This is who I would want to sing like.Now at 56 I still love this mans voice,my hair died gray too ..keep going Mickey you still got lots of fans out here!
Saw Starship in 85 with The Outfield opening. Great show.
Id kill to have seen this.....RIP The Outfield!!
This doesn't seem possible. UNREAL Mick!
MICKEY STILL LOOKS GREAT!!!!!💝❤💖 AND HE STILL HAS HIS VOICE!!!!!!💯👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏WOW!!!! I GREW UP WITH HIS MUSIC 🎶🎵 AND WATCHING HIM ON MTV!!!!!!!
Mickey Thomas.
A timeless talent...
He still has it! I’m genuinely impressed. I didn’t have high hopes for this when I saw it, but they’re all playing and singing great. Mickey must have worked hard on maintaining his voice. Wow!
Same here. Pleasantly surprised.
His voice is still incredible
Starship is still soaring! Mickey still has it and Stephanie Calvert is awesome!
Is that her
Not the original her (Grace Slick), but Stephanie Calvert (in the video) can sure sing! @@johnvance3011
Just stumbled on this and I wish I would have went to this show. It sounded amazing!
