Jefferson Airplane at the Family Dog BallroomAirplane fan from way back. . . sounds just as I remember in the day. Welcome addition to my ever growing collection. Thanks!.
Dodgy mix, great perfomance
The mix does seem a bit skewed, with the instrumentation buried way down deep, although with singing this good it seems almost churlish to quibble (compare with the often ropey-as-hell vocals on Sweeping Up the Spotlight). Excellent live recording, with outstanding vocal performances. The overall performance is tight and focused (even if the sound isn't as crisp as you'd like), and the concluding 25-minute jam with Jerry Garcia is rambling, exhiliarating magic.
Great Live Sound!!!The Airplane at their Best!!!!
One of the best, if not the best out there now. This is a great sounding live performance of the Airplane. The vocals are clear and the drums and guitars sound great. The Airplane jams on each song,making each one sound better. Sounds of the sixties--this is great, for I saw them numerous -times at the Fillmore and Avalon in the sixties and I know what they can do during their sets. The jam with Jerry Garcia is great at the end. Get this one, you will not be disappointed. I was at this concert and I remember it clearly. In fact, all the recent cds of the Airplane Live sound great but this one to get. .
Really Bad
Whoever decided to release this ought to be arrested. Voices and instruments out of tune, bad sound quality. Don't waste your money on this. If your friend already has it, don't even waste your time listening to it. The only live recordings of JA that don't embarrass them are Bless Its Pionted Little Head and Live at the Filmore East.
Jefferson Airplane - At the Family Dog Ballroom
The jam at the end is pretty good. This is pretty much what you expect to hear from the them.
