Hot Tuna


Does anyone remember the acoustic offshoot of Jefferson Airplane? I think I saw them at the Main Point , PA.

They put out an LP about a year or so ago.Steady As She Goes (?) Still have the same great sound built on tradition and fine musicianship.You can't go wrong with Reverend Gary Davis as a role model.
Saw them in NYC '71 and Austin '72 (besides a later tour ten or so years ago). Jack and Jorma are just great, I still love the early Tuna stuff and the early Airplane stuff.

Supposedly Grace Slick joined the Airplane because she was so taken with Jack's bass playing. The lady has excellent taste.
their first, self-titled (live) album is a classic--it's probably inspired a million guys to pick up an acoustic guitar. jorma's one of the great non-singers of all time. their subsequent electric albums like phosphorescent rat have their moments, though it's the debut you keep going back to. saw them not long ago--their acoustic set was great, but their electric set (second half of the show) was surprisingly poor--generic bar-band stuff.
