That's not the end of the story for Jefferson Starship though. Paul Kantner re-formed Jefferson Starship in 1992, and for the first few years they used the name "The Next Generation" next to Jefferson Starship (a reference to [[Series/StartrekThenextgeneration Star Trek: The Next Generation]]). They eventually dropped that, but they remain active today with a revolving-door line-up mainly as a touring act featuring a multitude of rotating personnel from the original band, among them Marty Balin, Papa John Creach (until his death in 1995) and, more recently, David Freiberg and Donny Baldwin, with Grace Slick sporadically contributing vocals. For a period in the mid-late '90s, the band's lineup likewise featured iconic Jefferson Airplane bassist Jack Casady; resultantly, the track "I'm on Fire" (hailing from the revived group's first album, ''Windows of Heaven''), through featuring Balin, Kantner, Casady and a guest vocal from Slick, reunited a higher percentage of Jefferson Airplane's most iconic lineup than the original Jefferson Starship ever did. Kantner remarked of the band: 'I'm working on erasing the bad history of Jefferson Starship, in the '80s when it went bad. I had to leave the band, it got so bad. I'm usually the last one at the party, as a general rule'. They released two studio albums (the aforementioned ''Windows'' in 1998 and ''Jefferson's Tree Of Liberty'' in 2008) and several live albums before Kantner died from multiple organ failure and septic shock following a heart attack in 2016.

'''Jefferson Starship''' (named after the ad-hoc supergroup that played on Paul Kantner's UsefulNotes/{{Hugo|Award}}-nominated science-fiction concept album ''Music/BlowsAgainstTheEmpire'') is an American soft rock and, later, ArenaRock band formed in 1974. It is the noticeably more commercially-oriented SpiritualSuccessor to Music/JeffersonAirplane, which had broken up two years earlier and featured Paul Kantner, Grace Slick, David Freiberg, Papa John Creach and [[Music/TheTurtles John Barbata]] from its predecessor's final lineup. Other founding members include teenage guitarist Craig Chaquico and bassist/guitarist Peter Kaukonen, the brother of Jorma from Music/JeffersonAirplane (Peter Kaukonen was gone after their first tour, replaced by the British Pete Sears). Jefferson Airplane founder and frontman Marty Balin, having left the Airplane in 1970, officially joined Jefferson Starship shortly after the release of their debut album ''Dragon Fly'' from 1974. Their second album, the polished soft-rock-based ''Red Octopus'' would become their most successful album, and with a little help from the main single from that album ("Miracles", which hit no.3 in the charts) they became more commercially successful than Music/JeffersonAirplane ever were. However, today they're probably best remembered as, "That band that showed up in ''Film/TheStarWarsHolidaySpecial''".

Then came the Star Wars Holiday Special, and not long after that, both Balin (due to creative burnout) and John Barbata (due to sustaining near-fatal injuries in a road accident) exited, leaving Kantner the sole remaining founding member of the Airplane to persist in the group. The following year, lead vocalist Mickey Thomas joined the band to fill both Slick and Balin's roles and subsequently became the effective leader of the group in the 80's. Simultaneously, Barbata was replaced by famous British session drummer Aynsley Dunbar, with Thomas' former alumnus Donny Baldwin succeeding him in 1982. Through these new additions, the group revamped itself into a commercial hard-rock band reminiscent of contemporaries Music/{{Boston}} and Music/{{Toto}}, although Kantner's more esoteric and Airplane-flavored political anthems would continue to persist on their albums deep into the Reagan era. By 1981, Grace Slick was back, but all of these line-up changes took its toll on the band: numerous younger members advocated to fully modernize the band's sound, whereas Kantner adamantly persisted with his more '60s-inspired stylings, which both these bandmates and the group's producers increasingly viewed as anachronistic and commercially unviable. These conflicts attained a peak during production of "Nuclear Furniture" in 1984, prompting Kantner to depart shortly following the album's completion. He would subsequently sue the remaining members over their continued use of the band's name; ultimately, the case was settled under the condition that the group would cease use of the "Jefferson" moniker going forward. Lacking one of its primary creative forces and with only a single prominent member of Jefferson Airplane (Grace Slick) remaining, the group was thus reborn as the infamous Music/{{Starship}}.

'''Jefferson Starship''' (named after the ad-hoc supergroup that played on Paul Kantner's {{Hugo|Award}}-nominated science-fiction concept album ''Music/BlowsAgainstTheEmpire'') is an American ArenaRock band formed in 1974. It is the SpiritualSuccessor to Music/JeffersonAirplane, which had broken up two years earlier and features Paul Kantner, Grace Slick, David Freiberg, Papa John Creach and [[Music/TheTurtles John Barbata]] from the old band (with Marty Balin joining soon after formation). Other founding members include teenage guitarist Craig Chaquico and bassist/guitarist Peter Kaukonen, the brother of Jorma from Music/JeffersonAirplane (Peter Kaukonen was gone after their first tour, replaced by the British Pete Sears). Balin officially rejoined shortly after the release of their debut album ''Dragon Fly'' from 1974. Their second album, ''Red Octopus'' would become their most successful album, and with a little help from the main single from that album ("Miracles", which hit no.3 in the charts) they became more commercially successful than Music/JeffersonAirplane ever were. However, today they're probably best remembered as, "That band that showed up in ''Film/TheStarWarsHolidaySpecial''".

That's not the end of the story for Jefferson Starship though. Paul Kantner re-formed Jefferson Starship in 1992, and for the first few years they used the name "The Next Generation" next to Jefferson Starship (a reference to [[Series/StartrekThenextgeneration Star Trek: The Next Generation]]). They eventually dropped that, but they remain active today with a revolving-door line-up mainly as a touring act. As Kantner said: 'I'm working on erasing the bad history of Jefferson Starship, in the '80s when it went bad. I had to leave the band, it got so bad. I'm usually the last one at the party, as a general rule'.

They eventually dropped that, but they remain active today with a revolving-door line-up mainly as a touring act. As Kantner said: 'I'm working on erasing the bad history of Jefferson Starship, in the '80s when it went bad. I had to leave the band, it got so bad. I'm usually the last one at the party, as a general rule'. They've released two studio albums (''Winds Of Change'' in 1998 and ''Jefferson's Tree Of Liberty'' in 2008) and several live albums so far.

!! Tropes:
* ControlFreak: Mickey Thomas by all accounts.
* IAmTheBand: This is very much so for Paul Kantner, the only member to be a part of every incarnation.
* IntercourseWithYou: "Miracles".
** The lines [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar "I got a taste of the real world (oh baby)/When I went down on you girl"]] can still be heard on the radio today.
* OneWomanSong: "Jane".
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere:
** Marty Balin had enough and quit in 1978, though he returned in 1994 - only to quit again in 2008.
** John Barbata did the same in 1979, although he would never rejoin.
* ShoutOut: The album ''Music/BlowsAgainstTheEmpire'' was inspired by, and referenced, another Heinlein novel, ''Literature/MethuselahsChildren'', again with permission. (Heinlein commented that his plots had been used by others many times, but this was the first time someone had ''asked'' first).
* TheSeventies: Jefferson Starship successfully morphed into an ArenaRock group along the lines of {{Music/Toto}} (as a matter of fact, their hit song "Jane" was accused of aping Toto's single "Hold The Line", right down to the piano triplets).
