Two Hour Special and Interview with David Freiberg of Jefferson Starship and Quicksilver Messenger Service on WMBR's Lost & Found Program

Hosted by:

Originally aired:

David Freiberg was a member of two out of the four most (arguably) notable psychedelic '60s San Francisco bands, Quicksilver Messenger Service and Jefferson Airplane (the others being the Grateful Dead and Big Brother and the Holding Company w/ Janis Joplin). Quicksilver formed in 1965 and put out a run of five albums with Freiberg from 1968-1970, their big hit being "Fresh Air," written by later member Dino Valente (best know for his song "Get Together"). Freiberg moved on to join Jefferson Airplane during their last tour in 1972 after working with several Airplane members on other projects. When Jefferson Starship formed out of the ashes of the Airplane in 1974, David was with them for all the '70s hits ("Miracles," "Count on Me," "With Your Love") and into the '80s, bailing before the much vilified (for good reason) "We Built This City." He is still helming Jefferson Starship (not to be confused with "Starship," the Mickey Thomas offshoot) as the last remaining original member (with Paul Kantner having passed in 2016). We''ll revisit that '60s-'70s era in an interview with the ever amiable David Freiberg and the music he was a part of. Hosted by Bob Dubrow. Jefferson Starship is playing at the Tupelo Music Hall in Derry, NH on Thursday, September 13.

Location: 88.1 FM
