It's David Freiberg's impressions of Jefferson Starship's 70s era from 1970s Blows Against the Empire sessions to the band's dissolution in late 1978.
Dave GebroHOST
Let's face it, this man is so damn interesting, he managed to appear in two separate Disco Graffiti series in one week.

FrogPANELIST
you, Joseph.
FrogPANELIST
That's Jefferson Starship.
FrogPANELIST
No, I think it's just Starship at this
ChristopherHOST
They worshiped the 60s, helped create a sound for the 80s, and somehow got stranded in between.
ChristopherHOST
Today we're talking about a masterpiece buried by a collapsing record company, a band that rebelled against progressive rock, put on matching white suits, and somehow ended up looking like the world's coolest wedding band, a hit single whose follow-up was derailed by a movie about a shark, and a band that played Sugar Sugar for a Jefferson Starship crowd and had fruit thrown at them.
ChristopherHOST
They had the songs, they had the hooks, they had the sound.
ChristopherHOST
Only one thing they didn't have was the luck.
12 MINS LATER
ChristopherHOST
Our next band had a different problem.
ChristopherHOST
They were making bright, unapologetic pop in Berkeley, California.
ChristopherHOST
And one night, they played Sugar Sugar to a Jefferson Starship crowd.
ChristopherHOST
That went about as well as you're imagining.
Shuli EgarHOST
So check these guys.
Shuli EgarHOST

Starship, Jefferson Starship, Stairway to Cleveland.
Len HowserHOST
Jefferson Starship has a song Stairway to Cleveland?
Sara CarnesHOST
That's, that's what it says.
Len HowserHOST
I'll be Googling that in, like, five minutes.
Vilas SheldonGUEST
But I have to pick the one that I really liked as a kid from the mannequin soundtrack.
Vilas SheldonGUEST
Jefferson Starship, Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now.
Vilas SheldonGUEST
Back then, either you were lucky to rent the movie or it came up on HBO.
Vilas SheldonGUEST
I'd wait for the credits and stay through the whole credits when they play that song.
Allen StareHOST
The album was critically well-received, but a commercial failure.
Donna StareHOST
That banner across the Beat poster is for the Jefferson Starship album, Freedom at Point Zero.
Donna StareHOST
We'll hear more about that one in just a bit.
Allen StareHOST
Hernandez also identified a weird one for us.

Was the theme song for the 1987 romantic comedy film Mannequin about an artist who falls in love with a mannequin that comes to life.

creator of No Guitar Is Safe, the guitar show where guitar heroes plug in.
Jude GoldHOST
And how did I end up in Europe with Simon and the Deep Purple gang? Well, as some of you have probably picked up by now, being that this is episode 158, I've been the lead guitarist of Jefferson Starship since 2012.
Jude GoldHOST
And well, we had a tour booked with Deep Purple in 2020, but we all know what happened that year.
Jude GoldHOST
But it finally happened.

Jude GoldHOST
One of our many new friends.
Jude GoldHOST
Got to give a big shout out to Tommy for setting us up with a guitar and an amp in this room we're about to head into and making this interview with Simon happen.
Jude GoldHOST
Also, Joost Miller and Wessel Hartmann, Jefferson Starship crew, who brought me the mic stands and booked the room so we could have it.
Jude GoldHOST
And of course, our guitar tech, Todd Mills, for getting me dialed for this guitar hang with Simon.
