Fly Jefferson Airplane

’Fly Jefferson Airplane,’ a Ravin’ Film produced for Eagle Rock Entertainment, presents complete song performances by the famed rock band Jefferson Airplane together with new interviews with all of the band members. The program also includes photographs by legendary rock photographer Jim Marshall, many of which have never been previously been seen.

Performances in ’Fly Jefferson Airplane’ include the band’s appearances at the Monterey Pop Festival, the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, their traffic stopping midtown Manhattan rooftop performance from Jean Luc Godard and D.A. Pennebaker’s film ’One PM’, as well as songs culled from Ralph Gleason’s (still unreleased) ’A Night at The Family Dog’ and ’Go Ride The Music’ programs.

Also included is rare footage of Jefferson Airplane with their original singer Signe Anderson, filmed at San Francisco’s Fillmore Auditorium in 1966 prior to Grace Slick joining the group, and a never a before seen performance of Jorma Kaukonen’s Embryonic Journey from Jefferson Airplane’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

"This one is for the fans," says Fly Jefferson Airplane director and Ravin’ Films founder Bob Sarles. "Our objective with this program is to present the best available performances of entire songs that show the band as the powerful ensemble that they were. We were fortunate to unearth some real gems. The interview sections are designed to give the songs some context, and then to get out of the way and let the performances play uninterrupted."

’Fly Jefferson Airplane’ was produced by Ravin’ Films for Eagle Rock Entertainment and will be distributed by Eagle Vision. The program was Directed by Bob Sarles and Produced by Sarles, Christina Keating (for Ravin’ Films) and Matt Friedman (for Eagle Rock).

Bonus materials on the DVD include additional interviews with longtime Airplane lighting artist Glenn McKay and RCA recording engineer and Jefferson Airplane collaborator Pat "Maurice" Ieraci.

Filmmaker Bob Sarles, together with famed rock photographer Jay Blakesberg, also produced and directed ’Phil Lesh and Friends Live at the Warfield,’ a feature length concert documentary produced for Cygnus Productions, released world wide by Image Entertainment and Relix Records.  More about Ravin’ Films may be found by visiting www.ravinfilms.com

Interesting Askville Questions:
It's not like I've never been in an airplane before. Although, every time I end up being bored after about 15 minutes! HELP!
There was an NES game I used to play where you flew an airplane (or airplane-like thing) and shooting things and avoiding obstacles. I remember it could be two player where both players could play at once. I also remember head-type things (like the one pictured at http://www.world-mysteries.com/easter_island_04.jpg) that you had to avoid. It seems like they appeared later in the game. I remember when they came in you were moving UP the screen and the heads came in from the sides. I've been trying to think of this game's name forever.
I need a good fitness dvd with good music!
