We Built This City on Rock And Roll!!: Starship Featuring Mickey Thomas Concert Review

  • Date of Concert: September 2, 2023
  • Location of Concert: Portsmouth River Days in Portsmouth, OH
  • Opener: Silver Springs: A Fleetwood Mac Experience

A couple of my friends and I saw Starship Featuring Mickey Thomas Saturday night in Portsmouth, OH.

A Fleetwood Mac tribute band called Silver Springs:  A Fleetwood Mac Experience opened the show.

They played many Fleetwood Mac hits and did a good job.

Then Starship came on later.

It features singer Mickey Thomas, who has been in both Jefferson Starship and later known as Starship, a solo artist, and has done a lot of recordings.

He was also in The Elvin Bishop Group, singing lead on the hit song Silent Night, and one of the singers on the hit Fooled Around And Fell In Love.

He’s always been a great singer and he has not lost anything in his voice.

He and his band still go out and give the fans the hits of Jefferson Airplane, which all of this originally was, as well as the Jefferson Starship and Starship hits, many of which he was a huge part of.

He’s got a great band.  Guitarist John Roth also plays guitar for Winger.  Excellent player.

Cian Coey sings the Grace Slick parts really well.

Everyone is solid.

Great, fun show.  And it was free!!

My next show is in three weeks.

And that’s FarmAid!!
