This review is from: Papa John Creach (Audio CD)

I saw Jefferson Airplane in Cleveland, Ohio in the early 70's. I wondered who that old man with the fiddle was, and what in the world he was doing on stage. Grace Slick came across as obnoxious and insulting, possibly drunk and/or high like many of the musiclovers present, but Papa John was sublime. He was as good as Grace was bad. I bought but have long since lost the album for sale here, and it is terrific, although it may not be Airplane fans' cup of tea. Some time ago I saw Grace on television telling an interviewer that she was not interested in any kind of Airplane reunion tour because "there's nothing as pitiful as a bunch of old people on stage trying to do rock and roll." Have to agree after some of the geezer tours that have come along, but she surely wasn't thinking of the old coot who took the pitiful out of her show and made it rock like it was 1972.
