Product Description
CD Description
First of four collections of UNRELEASED and in some cases, historic concerts—handpicked by a team of devotees and sporting digi-packs annotated by frequent Airplane flier Craig Fenton. The Grace Slick era of the Jefferson Airplane has understandably received virtually all of the attention paid the band over the years, but the group put out a pretty good album Takes Off) and was already an excellent live outfit prior to her coming aboard. They also had a pretty fair female vocalist in the band before Grace, and it is in Signe Anderson’s honor that we present not just the first-ever live release from Signe’s stint with the Airplane, but also her very last show! Both Marty Balin and Bill Graham give shout-outs to Signe, while the set list includes a nine-minute Jam; 3/5 of a Mile in Ten Seconds (the first-ever live performance!); Chauffeur Blues (Grace Slick never performed this song out of respect to Signe), and High Flyin’ Bird. It was the end of an era—the new one was to begin the next day (the subject of our next Collectors’ Choice Music Live release)!

This is the last concert with the original singer Signe Anderson. The next night the Airplane played their first concert with new singer Grace Slick (which has been released in parallel with this CD). Although Grace is the singer you normally associate with the Airplane, this CD shows that Signe was herself a perfectly good singer. Infact, this night's Airplane was better than the next night's (although Grace was to develop both massively and quickly).
Musically 4 stars, as a(n) historic document 5 stars.

This raw Airplane still coming out with blues, folk and pop and beginning to meld into the psychedelic band that everyone knows. Very much harsher than to be expected and the opening number 'Jam' lasting 9 minutes and being completely essential. However the band were still learning - the version of 'In the Midnight Hour' was adopted in case they had a gig and could use it! But the early version of Fat Angel and 'And I like It' are a sure signpost to where they were headed. Two speeches saying goodbye to Signe are a sign of how much loved she was both within the band and by Bill Graham.Really essential.

This is a fantastic CD. Signe sounds great. Only someone as good as Grace could have ever replaced her. Where are you now, Signe??? As well as the content being excellent, so is the sound quality for a concert recorded so long ago. The only shame about it is the beginning of Midnight Hour is missing, due I presume because the tape ran out and had to be quickly changed or turned over.
