Was there an instrumental guitar piece on an Airplane album or am I remembering something that must have been on a Hot Tuna album? hollis Intermediate Member Username: hollis Post Number: 163 Registered: 11-2003 Posted on Monday, May 03, 2004 - 5:16 pm:    Hi Dave I'm thinking it might be Embryonic Journey on Surrealistic Pillow..... Although, I think that Hot Tuna recorded a live version of the same tune a little later on...... Hmmm, a few of the brain cells are still firing. Thanks for the memory. davehouck Senior Member Username: davehouck Post Number: 502 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Monday, May 03, 2004 - 6:27 pm:    Thanks Hollis; I think you might be right. I went to the Barnes and Noble site where you can hear a sample of each track and the bit from Embryonic Journey does sound like it's probably what I'm thinking of. And yes, a little further investigation does confirm Embryonic Journey on some Hot Tuna albums. hollis Intermediate Member Username: hollis Post Number: 164 Registered: 11-2003 Posted on Monday, May 03, 2004 - 7:02 pm:    Cool, I think I might have to go blow the dust off the vinyl.... susan Moderator Username: susan Post Number: 46 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Friday, May 07, 2004 - 9:56 pm:    I will confirm that it is an acoustic guitar instrumental, quite tasty. My memory is tickled regularly as I listen to Surrealistic Pillow, one of my favourite albums, now a CD at least once or twice a month for how many years?! Yipes, let's not do the math. -Susan davehouck Senior Member Username: davehouck Post Number: 517 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Saturday, May 08, 2004 - 6:28 am:    I no longer have any Airplane albums as I never purchased any replacement CD's. At the time I found them to be a great influence musically, socially, politically, spiritually; and I'm grateful for that influence. Perhaps someday they will be back in my collection. bassman10096 Advanced Member Username: bassman10096 Post Number: 351 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Saturday, May 08, 2004 - 7:15 am:    I never replaced any of my Airplane vinyl's and they certainly don't get airplay (if you don't count Somebody to Love). But recently, I bought the CD of Bless its Pointed Little Head. Back then, it was the first Airplane record I ran out to buy before I had even heard the whole thing. Yeow!!!!! How did I forget about how much of an influence Casady has had on my playing. I have a significant and often-accessed "mental compartment" of things I heard on that album. But I had forgotten where they came from!! Riffs, rhythmic turns, the sound of that Alembic Starfire!! Listening to them now, I have a greater appreciation than I did back then.

You'll be glad you did. bassman10096 Advanced Member Username: bassman10096 Post Number: 355 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Sunday, May 09, 2004 - 6:05 pm:    I've been there time and again. One of these days, I'll figure out what it takes to enroll for one of Jack's bass classes (not sure I'm ready for a masters class). They're always sold out by the time I see them, but I'm sure there's a way to get into one with some advice from the Furpeace folks.
