Jefferson Starship isn't Jefferson Airplane. They may have had some of the core members from JA, but by the 1970's it was a different band with new members besides Paul, Grace & Marty. A new era & sound was born. Jefferson Starship released eight studio albums between 1974 to 1984 and scored a bunch of top 40 hits.. Their 1975 LP 'Red Octopus' turns 40 in June 2015.
