I was never a big fan of Jefferson Airplane beyond the obvious singles. I did actually appreciate a couple of Jefferson Starship singles (as I confessed here). Either way, Paul Kantner seemed like a pretty interesting cat. I was sorry to see his name added to the long list of newly dead musicians we've been strangely tallying.
Given the dual preoccupations of this blog (i.e. music and New York City), this clip seemed like the one to exhume. Here's the `Airplane borrowing a page from the Beatles and playing on a Manhattan rooftop (although other bands certainly did that too). Who can name the street on which this rooftop performance transpired?
R.I.P., Paul.
