Jefferson Airplane legends Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady sit down with HPR All Thing Considered Host Dave Lawrence to discuss their remarkable history and Hot Tuna, Jefferson Airplane, and Jefferson Starship.
@CTMD Oh Realize your post is a year old. However, would like to say Jorma's voice at 80 is very different from when he was 40! Much deeper now, think i might prefer it now, compared to when he was younger!
I remember seeing Jack and Jorma in Toronto in 1967 with the Airplane. They were very young and very inspiring. In those days people used to jump on stage and dance, everybody gave the band space and respect. It’s wonderful to see them in good health and good form.
I appreciated this interview and performance with these guys. I grew up listening and was lucky to see Hot Tuna live in the 70's. Thanks for the memories guys!
The irony of it all: Jorma Kaukonen is a 100% Finnish name and he's actually my grandmother's 12th cousin. Of course everyone knows about Jorma's Finnish roots, but just to point it out.
Saw them again last night 10/4/2023, I been watching them since the Jefferson airplane days, they never disappoint, a litter slower moving, like myself at 76, they are in their 80's, ill be there soon i hope. They played so well last night, my 21st time seeing them
Excuse Me, saw Hot Tuna at Central Park, Shaf Music festival, short story, Jorma played Mann,s Fate song electric, this is like almost impossible, impossibly done, you take an acoustic hand picking song with all those notes, speed it up by 2, with all that resinous of an electric guitar, clipping notes, UNBELIEVABLE, Jorma is UNBELIEVABLE...was it 1975...yes, central park, ny
I always love comments like this on a five year old video, like we're all right there ready to serve up that answer for any random question. Thumbs up.
