The Definitive Concert
This hour-long concert, shot in Vancouver, Canada, in 1983, finds the latter day Jefferson Starship (that is, the edition of the band in which Mickey Thomas has replaced Marty Balin as co-lead singer with Grace Slick) running through numbers from such albums as Freedom at Point Zero (1979), Modern Times (1981), and Winds of Change (1982), with a few glimpses of earlier times (“Somebody to Love” and “White Rabbit” from Jefferson Airplane, “Ride the Tiger” from 1974’s Dragon Fly). This is an efficient seven-member arena rock band, with Slick and Thomas backed by Paul Kantner, David Freiberg, and Pete Sears, who switch around from guitar to bass to keyboards, plus lead guitarist Craig Chaquico and drummer Donny Baldwin, all of them chiming in with vocals here and there.

In Concert At the Royal Festival Hall
Frank Sinatra: In Concert At The Royal Festival Hall is a London concert filmed on November 16, 1970, the eve of the Chairman’s temporary retirement. This concert was produced for the United World Colleges Fund and Sinatra is introduced to the delighted London audience by HRH Princess Grace of Monaco. His extraordinary and rare version of George Harrison’s Something can be seen here as well as I Have Dreamed (From The King And I). The ballads he sings are powerful andheartfelt on the day before he was to leave show business. He closes the show with an endearing rendition of My Way.
