Jefferson Starship in Nichols

Jefferson Starship is an American rock band formed in San Francisco in 1974 by musicians associated with Jefferson Airplane, including Paul Kantner and Grace Slick. The group’s psychedelic and melodic rock catalogue includes the album Red Octopus and songs such as “Miracles,” “Count on Me,” “Jane” and “Find Your Way Back.” Jefferson Starship toured extensively during the 1970s and early 1980s, when the band moved into arenas and appeared at the 1983 US Festival in San Bernardino. Paul Kantner revived the name in the 1990s for a new touring lineup, whose performances included material by both Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship. The live album Deep Space/Virgin Sky documented that lineup at the House of Blues in West Hollywood.
