Mickey hopped over some piece of equipment on the floor and fell. He was a trooper! He just hopped up, smiled, straightened up and cooly walked off. lol. Then the audience yelled for an encore and they came back out. He could have come out alone and sang and we would have loved it.

It came back into the spotlight when it was used on the brilliant soundtrack of the film Guardians of the galaxy, (starring Chris Pratt) and rediscovered by at least two new generations! The soundtracks to Guardians one and two give new life to some great classics, you should give them a whirl Jay, there are some gems in there. Bless you for helping to keep some kind of normality going in strange times!🥰🥂

Mickey Thomas is one of the most vastly underrated vocalists ever. That may have something to do with his very wobbly choice of material over the years. This great song here may be his signature vocal, and it proves without a doubt that this man had a tremendously soulful voice, but if you really want to hear this man cut loose, if you really want to hear this man slay and kill, check out his vocals on "Silent Night." (with the Elvin Bishop Band) Yes, it's the classic Christmas song, but Mickey turned it into a soulful, foot-stomping, gospel-ized, earth shaking, get-cho-ass-outta-yo-chair-and-start-moving type of song. It's not only his greatest soul-shaking moment, it's one of the greatest soul-shaking moments in the history of music. Look it up here on KZitem .... and thank me later. lol

But that’s how it was then! As some commenters have posted, “Jane” is a great Starship rocker - I used to sing it in my band back in the early 80’s!

I did grow up hearing music older than that as well, I was fortunate to be introduced to a lot of different styles/genres/eras as a little girl so I can honestly say I know what good music sounds like!
