After looking at what's on each record (It's been awhile), I like Volunteers and Surrealistic Pillow even better. Volunteers has the great version of Wooden Ships and my fav JA song Good Shepherd. Of course, I'm a big Jorma fan and that song is Hot Tuna all the way (seeing him again in December).
I'd also be interested in others' opinions of the Airplane...

Second, I don't get to see them this time.  How was it.
PS, yet another KX hijacking.  |
The whole set - they've played these 45 minute sets a lot in recent years. I think they get more exposure tagging along with Satriani and Dream Theater etc than headlining small clubs. Plus they get on and off by 8, whereas the club thing is 2AM after three or four horrible openers perform. That's the main reason I've not wanted to see them since the Manic tour.
They were on after about 75 minutes of the Fantasy Camp and Extreme had a 90 minute set after Kx.
After the Fantasy Camp all-star jam, my ears were shot, so when they came on they seemed quiet. But it was tight, all Doug songs - Ty didn't do much singing lead...but all were in great form - Doug had them eating out of his hand during Over My Head - in which he stopped the song aftr a verse, saying "he forgot the f'ing words", only to get the crowd to sing from the beginning of the song to lead him back. Lots of fun. Awesome musicianship.
I did get them to sign my dollar bill, nothing else to sign
and asked Ty if he ever tries to sneak in any Platypus...
