Over on the other shore
Stay out of the way of the blood stained bandit
Oh good shepherd feed my sheep
One for Paul, one for Silas
One for to make my heart rejoice
Can't you hear my lambs a callin
Oh good shepherd feed my sheep
If you want to get to heaven
Over on the other shore
Stay out of the way of the long tongue liar
Oh good shepherd feed my sheep
One for Paul, one for Silas
One for to make my heart rejoice
Can't you hear my lambs a callin
Oh good shepherd feed my sheep
If you want to get to heaven
Over on the other shore
Stay out of the way of the gun shot devil
Oh good shepherd feed my sheep
One for Paul, one for Silas
One for to make my heart rejoice
Can't you hear my lambs a callin
Oh good shepherd feed my sheep
Jefferson Airplane was an American rock band based in San Francisco, California, that became one of the pioneering bands of psychedelic rock. Formed in 1965, the group defined the San Francisco Sound and was the first from the Bay Area to achieve international commercial success. They headlined the Monterey Pop Festival (1967), Woodstock (1969), Altamont Free Concert (1969), and the first Isle of Wight Festival (1968) in England. Their 1967 breakout album Surrealistic Pillow was one of the most significant recordings of the Summer of Love. Two songs from that album, "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit", are among Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".
The October 1966 to February 1970 lineup of Jefferson Airplane, consisting of Marty Balin (vocals), Paul Kantner (guitar, vocals), Grace Slick (vocals, keyboards), Jorma Kaukonen (lead guitar, vocals), Jack Casady (bass), and Spencer Dryden (drums), was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. Balin left the band in 1971. After 1972, Jefferson Airplane effectively split into two groups. Kaukonen and Casady moved on full-time to their own band, Hot Tuna. Slick, Kantner, and the remaining members of Jefferson Airplane recruited new members and regrouped as Jefferson Starship in 1974, with Balin eventually joining them. Jefferson Airplane received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016.
The crazy times in which they lived made that band. We still live in crazy times but if you put the same kinds of people together today there would be no scene for them. Rock music has become too corporatized and controlled with too much emphasis on ego. You could never get lady gaga, miley cyrus or dave matthews band to share a stage or collaborate or even like each other for long. They are competing for the same few dollars in peoples pockets. Rock bands in the past never thought once about competing with anyone monetarily...maybe artistically...but everyone just loved the other for their creativeness and talents and freedom of expression. Now, we take all that for granted.
I think you're dead wrong here. While I don't follow Miley Cyrus or Lady Gaga it took just 2 seconds to find this article showing Lady Gaga's collaborations as of 2016:

This does not take into account artists that Dave has produced. One of particular significance to me personally is Chris Whitley (heard here on RP). Dave produced Chris' album Rocket House and said this about the artist before his untimely demise in 2005:
"Chris is an example of one of those things that appalls me about the record industry - ATO co-founder Dave Matthews told Billboard in 2001. "That is, how could a talent like his go relatively unnoticed? So few singers have their own personality, and Chris is his own man to the bone. Honestly, I feel more passion for his music than I do for my own. My music I'm critical of. But I have a fervent, religious devotion to the magic that Chris makes."
This comment from Dave runs counter to your uneducated assertion about the man.
As it says above, Dave co-founded ATO records. Here is a list of bands they have produced:
ATO's roster includes Alabama Shakes, Rodrigo Y Gabriela, Brandi Carlile, Joseph, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard[1], Hurray for the Riff Raff, Benjamin Booker, Lee Ann Womack, SOJA, Okkervil River, Blind Pilot, Old 97's, Drive-By Truckers, Primus, Margaret Glaspy, The Claypool Lennon Delirium[2], J Roddy Walston and the Business, Amyl and the Sniffers[3], Joseph[4] and My Morning Jacket.
Some pretty incredible bands, many of which we enjoy hearing right here on RP. Thanks Bill!
Your strawman wears no clothes.
love the comments listeners post here.
Went to see the Airplane at the Winterland in San Francisco in 69 I think, and this truely happened that evening. It was a Sunday night, it was planed as a two night event and went so well they added another show, announced Sunday morning. The crowd that night was one fourth what is was the night before. the show opened with The Sons of Chaplan , next was the Greatful Dead and they had a little suprise for us. We all drank the Kool Aid. Oh ya, that Kool Aid, The Electric kind of Kool Aid the book was written about. They played for hours, they could of played all night but The Jefferson Airplane also needed to play, so play they they did. The show ended somewhere near sunrise. Maybe, fuck , I don't know know ,I was stoned stupid. So that was fun and all and the five of us some how found our ride,a VW bug We headed out of city over the Bay Bridge and as we approached the crest of the span our little bug started losing power and the lights dimmed to nothing as we crested and as we coasted down the other side a Highway Patrol car pulled up behind us and put his bumper to ours and with bull horn, shouting, and scaring the shit out of us , directed us to a service station,remember those, and all thinking we were about to be busted, the patrolman, backed up, and just drove away. Probably the greatest show I'll never forget. I loved the Airplane and Good Shepherd is one of their best. Thanks R.P Rest in Peace Paul Would it kill you to play some Starship once in a while?. sheech
Second time I've read your story. Fantastic!
Finally a Jefferson song that did not get overplayed in the radio
Along with almost the entire catalog. I'm not aware any of the tracks from Baxter's or Crown of Creation that got significant airplay. In fact, if you're not a fanatic (not that that's a bad thing), I'd make a (friendly 5 cent) bet you've never heard those songs.
also, when did they take the cent sign off the keyboard?
So good to hear in the main mix on RP!
Some of those are regularly played on RP - others not so.
Looking back on it I must have recognised greatness when I heard it because many of those bands had musicians that individually or collectively went on to great things and have lasted the test of time.
It was also 'cool' to be seen carrying around some of the albums under your arm - front cover facing outwards of course for all to see :)

Damn!! Am I EVER jealous. That concert sounds like an historic, Boomer-Freak apotheosis. The song is great, too. It gets a 9 from me.
