Jorma Kaukonen Hot Tuna 1975-6?
Jorma Kaukonen Hot Tuna 1975-6?

Jorma Kaukonen Born 1940 Rose to fame as guitarist for the popular 1960's band Jefferson Airplane. However in 1972 Jorma Kaukonen and Bassist Jack Cassidy broke off from Jefferson Airplane and formed the band Hot Tuna. Hot Tuna started as more of a folk and blues band with Papa John Creach playing on his violin music that was a blend of country, blues and folk. After a couple years Papa John Creach drifted off and Hot Tuna started playing a very unique style of rock mainly due to Jorma who played a twelve string guitar with two picks like a banjo player. Hot Tuna for the next several years never were great commercial success with album sales but had a strong but loyal following for their concert tours. Their fans in those days that I can attest to personally were a hard core bunch of rowdy and rude illegal drug users and would constantly yell out "Hot Fucking Tuna! and would boo off back up bands off the stage which I saw personally at a show in New York where the frustrated leader of the backup band gave the crowd the finger after three songs and threw a beer bottle into the crowd. This picture I took at a general admission concert in New Jersey where people are standing and pressed against each other like they were in a Tokyo subway car. When I took this picture I had brought two tabs of what might have been acid or God only knows what. I took one tab during the concert and said to my friend "Aww this stuff is beat!" and took the second tab. About a minute later the first tab hits my brain like a sledgehammer and my mind checked into a chemical funny farm for the next few hours. But I enjoyed the concert anyway,
