 The Jefferson Airplane
My impression so far is that the Starship's utter insincerity renders their commercial triumphs irrelevant, whereas Hot Tuna's art-for-art's-sake approach to the blues makes up for their lack of vocal talent and tendency to obsess with oldies - much more so than the Starship, Hot Tuna carried on the Airplane's true spirit.

 Concert Review: Jefferson Starship
That evening, Jefferson Starship played a 90-minute set to a fanatic, adulating audience that hung on every word and movement.
The band was enthusiastic and definitely demonstrated that, despite a graceless moment or two, a rock group of the 1960s can keep a '90s audience mesmerized.
Jefferson Starship began their set with Kantner's 1968 anthem, "Crown of Creation." From there, the group played new material, Jefferson Starship's major hit songs from the 1970s ("Count on Me" and "Miracles"), some songs from Marty Balin's solo career, and a fine selection of tunes from the old days of the Jefferson Airplane.
