For those that followed the Jefferson Airplane the first time around (!965-1972) one show always makes the Top 10.
It was this past week the Airplane landed at "The Matrix."
2/1/68 The Matrix, San Francisco, California
(128:37)
Information from 11/2/69 Elysian Park, Los Angeles, California is really part of the documentation of this show. The band did play on 11/2/69 but there are no confirmed set lists.
1 Tune-up > Grace tells the crowd “The next song can be one of two.” > Somebody To Love 4:35
2 Young Girl Sunday Blues > Tune-up 4:58
3 She Has Funny Cars > Tune-up > Paul intros the next song 4:53
4 Two Heads (L) > Tune-up 4:53
This was the final appearance. At least for a few more months the song deserved a better live fate.
5 Martha > Tune-up 4:44
6 Kansas City Blues (Move To Kansas City) (L) Jorma vocals > Tune-up > Paul intros the next song 7:28
This was the last appearance of the song. Song six has often been left off the documentation from this show.
7 The Other Side Of This Life 7:56
8 Today 3:14
A stellar version!
9 Won’t You Try/Saturday Afternoon > Paul thank the crowds crowd > Tune-up 6:43
10 It’s No Secret > Tune-up > Grace thanks the crowd 4:08
11 Blues From An Airplane (F & L) > Tune-up 2:52
This is the only time performed! Better late than never! Song eleven is another that would have been nice to have been performed on a continuous basis. It has never gotten the credit it deserves for the well composed lyrics. As good as it sounded in 1968 it would have been even better if played when first born.
12 Watch Her Ride 4:10
13 Plastic Fantastic Lover > Tune-up 3:53
14 Tune-up > White Rabbit 2:34
15 (3/5 Of A Mile In 10 Seconds) > Grace thanks the crowd > Tune-up 6:38
16 Share A Little Joke (F & L) >
(This is the only appearance of Share A Little Joke). Paul announces “The next song (Ice Cream Phoenix Jam) is an instrumental and if you have words sing along.” > Tune-up 5:00 >
17 Ice Cream Phoenix Jam (Instrumental) (F & L) 9:52 Cut.
This is the only appearance. It was a surprise that such an intense piece of work would come and go in one night.
18 Tune-up > Fat Angel > Tune-up 8:52
19 The Ballad Of You And Me And Pooneil > Grace thanks the crowd 10:33
The improvisational segment of the show (Songs seventeen through nineteen) were one of the reasons to this day 2/1/68 is considered one of their ten best performances ever.
20 High Flying Bird (L) 4:37
This was the final appearance. Another link to the past is broken. A superb tune that served the band and the fans well.
21 Wild Tyme (F) > Marty thanks the crowd > Tune-up 3:49
This is the first appearance.
22 Go To Her (L) > Paul thanks the Crowd > Tune-up 4:37
This was the final appearance.
23 Rock Me Baby 7:38 Jorma vocals.
Very nice slow blues version!
