Editorial Reviews

Three CD live release from the Jefferson Airplane/Starship leader. Paul Kantner's Wooden Ships is basically the name of a band which, to all intents and purposes, was the latest edition of Jefferson Starship albeit in a more stripped down acoustic format. All the members featured here had at some point been members of Jefferson Starship. Three members (Kantner, Marty Balin and Papa John Creach) had been founder members of the band back in the '70s. This live recording spread across three discs was recorded in Fort Lauderdale in December 1992 and features many Jefferson Starship and Jefferson Airplane classics including 'The Other Side Of Life', 'Have You Seen The Stars Tonight', 'America', 'Starship', 'Volunteers' and 'Wooden Ships'. This concert was also amongst the last to feature Papa John Creach, who died in early 1993. Voiceprint. 2009.

This review is from: Ft. Lauderdale Dec 1992 (Audio CD)

Contrary to what the description says, Marty Balin does not appear on this recording. This concert was recorded before he rejoined and the band once again took the name Jefferson Starship. The line up on this concert is:
Paul Kantner - Guitar, Vocals, Slick Aguilar - Guitar
Tim Gorman - Keyboard, Vocals, and Papa John Creach - Violin, Vocals

I like Kantner, but his vocal abilities are not strong enough to carry the band without support from other lead and harmony vocalists. Tim Gorman and Papa John do not fit that requirement, although Papa John was a good fiddle player and a unigue artist. Kantner at least needs a female to sing harmony.

You may have a different opinion, but just be forewarned about the absence of Marty Balin. Some of the songs, for instance "Volunteers" are just not the same without Marty.
