The Airplane Family & Friends reunites Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, Hot Tuna, Grateful Dead, Bob Weir’s Rat Dog & David Crosby alumni to perform the 50th Anniversary of Paul Kantner/Jefferson Starship masterpiece “Blows Against the Empire, in celebration of the late Hall of Fame musician’s birthday-next March.
The Airplane Family Performs the 50th Anniversary of "Blows Against The Empire" at The Newton Theatre on Friday, March, 20th, 2020 at 8 p.m.
The album was recorded in San Francisco in 1970, the results derive from a period of cross-collaboration during late 1969 through 1971 by Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead & Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young recording at the time in the city.
The credit to Jefferson Starship reflected many things: the ad-hoc all-star line-up; the album being an evolutionary progression from Jefferson Airplane; and finally the narrative concept that tells the story of a counter-culture revolution against the oppressions and a plan to steal a starship from orbit and journey into space in search of a new home.
The Airplane Family Performs the 50th Anniversary of "Blows Against The Empire" at The Newton Theatre on Friday, March, 20th, 2020 at 8PM. Tickets can be purchased at The Newton Theatre box office at 219 Spring Street in Newton, NJ; online at www.skypac.org or by calling 973-940-NEWT.
