I saw them a couple of months ago in Fall River, MA. A very small venue, I got a seat maybe 15' from Jack Casady & G.E. Smith. Great show. They did two 90 minute sets. G.E. Smith was amazing; every note was perfect. Realizing that I first heard Jack Casady with Jefferson Airplane 41 (or 42) years ago...........I don't know why they list everyone as a bassist on their site's Bio page. Jack was the only one who played bass.

I believe Jack only joined them for a handful of shows on the tour. A friend of mine saw one of the shows without Jack, and everyone else in the band took turns in the bass chair. Apparently Sless and Sears are both pretty good bass players!

I think I'm going to see them up here in Felton. Sears used to drive the Jeff Starship pretty well. We'll see if Jack or Phil show

The band is made up of seven bass players, six coming from The Flying Other Brothers band, with Jack Casady of Jefferson Airplane joining as the main featured bass player. Jack Casady is featured on the 2009 tour dates.
