Jefferson Airplane were less focused in 1969 than they had been in the Summer of Love two years before. Recorded at the Fillmore East, these performances find the Airplane coming off their most recent album, Volunteers, released a month earlier, with the band a lot looser (drug use aside) and fractured. The factions in the group were presenting themselves during performances, and this set is no exception. Guitarist Jorma Kaukonen and bassist Jack Cassidy connected and jammed like they would have been just as content without the vocals getting in the way, Grace Slick and Paul Kantner combined their voices and played off each other, while Marty Balin screamed and crammed lyrics together, leaving little space for anyone else. During this era, harmonizing seemed out of the question, especially when the older tracks, like "Plastic Fantastic Lover," were being played at warp speed. Slick and Balin mainly yell over each other, a combination of clashing personalities and competition with the sheer volume of the instruments. In the era of Cream and Hendrix, the Airplane had become entwined with jazz-influenced improvisation and the distorted, electric end of the blues; the softer, folkie side of the band was nowhere to be found. For what the Airplane were doing at the time, there's no doubt that this was exciting and adventurous music, albeit without the intimate yin to the blazing yang. Collectors will want to pick up this set, at the very least, for the inclusion of the rarely heard "Uncle Sam Blues," "You Wear Your Dresses Too Short," and "Come Back Baby." ~ Al Campbell Sweeping Up The Spotlight: Live At The Fillmore East 1969 Music Jefferson Airplane Sweeping Up The Spotlight: Live At The Fillmore East 1969 Songs Sweeping Up The Spotlight: Live At The Fillmore East 1969 Music Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)  Airlane Live!!!!

The only problem with this CD is that its not 2 disc`s, as they always played long shows, there had to be more song recorded, but still Im happy to get this great live release, they were at their best live, and there`s far to few quality release`s, so when we do get one like this its a real treat..

One disc concert CD of one of the last performances of the Jefferson Airplane with most of the original members of the band. All are in fine form; especially Jorma's soaring guitar solos. Mostly unreleased tracks (only a couple coming from earlier releases). A fine tribute to a band that reached amazing heights before crash landing a few years later.

Always a fan of live music, any CD release from this era is a bonus these days. Record companies were always reluctant to let out live LPs; in some cases justified. But not here. This took me right back to all those old bootlegs that were kicking around in the late sixties early seventies with their raw and ever ready power. Sure it won't be every one's cup of tea, but there again only the most ardant follower would perhaps poohpooh it. A thoroughly good recording. Well worth a trip down memory lane.

** Disc contains award winning song(2006)& songs featured in TV Series airing Nationally fall 2006**When the steel mill he worked at for decades went bankrupt taking with it his seniority and pension benefits, Angelo M. (Angelo Melasecca) tossed his hard hat and reached for solace in his guitar. Using the unwelcome twist of fate as a muse of sorts, he began penning songs for this debut CD. His soulful voice rings with authenticity and carries the rawness of truth seasoned with experience and retrospection as he sings Lost,one of the most emotionally taunting songs on the CD. As Rootstime reviewer, Francois Braekan puts it Lost, produces goose bumps with a brilliant slide and acoustic guitar; this song all alone justifies the purchase of the album." Braekan ...

In the depths of night, far across the Atlantic Ocean, on the other side of world, in the Dark Continent, "Africa" is found a small country called Cameroon. That’s were “Sona Lionel Ekumeri” was born. During the late 1980’s, Lionel Richie’s hit swept across the globe. Sona’s mother “Mama J.” a big fan of Lionel Richie decided to name him Lionel. After He was born, he was placed in the hands of his dying great grandmother, who named him “Ekumeri” meaning “it met me” after a long period of being asked by her cult members to sacrifice him. The name Sona on the other hand means gold and nobility. From birth, Sona was surrounded by poverty and misery. His grandmother struggled everyday to raise a family of ten on a budget lower than a dollar a day. Sona was also surrounded by crime; the streets took the law into their own hands. The harsh life gave both Sona and his older brother (Emmanuel Nangia) a quick and swift adaptation to the street life. At the early age of 8, both brothers conned the street dealers, negotiating street deals to make a little extra money. At age 12, the two brothers ...
