Hot Tuna


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

I think that "First Pull up, Then Down" is my favorite electric Hot Tuna album. Papa John's fiddle on "John's Other" and Jorma's guitar licks on "Been So Long" are classic. On the acoustic side, I enjoy "Live at Sweetwaters." Pete Sears (from Jefferson Starship) really adds a lot to the songs tickling the ivories. Back in the day, Jorma's solo album "Quah" was a go to smooth guy acoustic album for me that the ladies always seemed to enjoy. I liked their last album "Steady As She Goes" and am really glad they are still producing music. Hot Tuna is a true American icon.
I've seen then about 2 dozen times dating back to the 70's. Both electric and acoustic. Last time was just a few months ago in Connecticut. Can you believe Jorma is 74!
Not all of it is acoustic.
They did a number of killer electric albums including America's Choice and Yellow Fever.
Check out ; Hot Tuna's - Double Dose - great live electric music. Jorma is a very good guitar player as well as Jack on bass. Jorma has put out some very strong solo albums as a matter of fact I just picked up his first one ; Quah.
