Jefferson Starship Lands At The Flying Monkey
This past Friday, November 2nd, Jefferson Starship touched down at the Flying Monkey in Plymouth, NH.
The show started at 7:30 with the lights being dimmed and a loud monkey coming over the speakers to signify the beginning of the show.
Old Salt Band, a rock band from Laconia opened for Jefferson Starship and ended with a strong drum solo from Beau Skonieczny that deafened ears with machine-gun speed.
After a brief intermission Jefferson Starship came out. The band was lead by vocalist, Cathy Richardson, who filled the position of the famous Grace Slick. Although these are some seriously large shoes to step into, Richardson held up to the challenge, according to Plymouth local, John Frawley.
John said, "I had my doubts about the band, especially because (Grace) Slick was not going to be present. After hearing them I was really blow away."
The bands set list included classics spanning the band's complicated history. Tracks such as "White Rabbit" and "Eskimo Blue Day" transformed the crowd into a frenzy of excitement.
Before the night was over Richardson's alternate band, The Macrodots, was introduced by an original member of Jefferson Airplane, Paul Kantner. Kantner passed the microphone on to the younger Richardson, symbolizing the transition of talent from the older generation to the younger.
The final song for the night was "Volunteers", which had the crowd shouting for an encore. The band obliged and came out to perform their classic "Somebody to Love".
After the show David Freiberg, along with Kantar and Richardson answered any questions and signed autographs for the audience.
