Take Me to a Circus Tent, The Jefferson Airplane Flight Manual is the ultimate resource guide to JA music. For this flight turn on the seat belt light, put your trays in the upright position and settle because is was a hell of a ride, turbulent and riotous. And Fenton has been able to document the ride in a way that is truly unique in the music retrospective field.
The first section of the book documents every possible show, every performance that was done by the Jefferson Airplanes, including Hot Tuna, Starship and other relatives of JA. It lists the sets, how long the songs were, who introduced the songs, any on stage chatter and any history of the song. It is a mind boggling tribute to the details and minutia that makes up the legend of these rock greats.
The second section of the book is interviews with a dizzying array of people associated with the JA in many ways. Here Fenton's knowledge of musical history soars. He knows the background of everyone and is able to use that to direct interviews in a way very few, if any, other person could do.
Interspersed between the pages are the 93 photos that give faces and glimpses into the people that made this band the timeless rock standard it has become.
I strongly advise that readers check out the author's web site or the discussion at the many sites that address this book. This book will be an excellent investment for any fans of either the Aiplanes and those of classic rock history. It is not an effort that can ever be equaled or duplicated.
