Hot Tuna is one of those amazing legendary acts whose list of past members now dwarfs its list of current members by more than fourfold. Of course, that's not surprising — the act that originally began as a Jefferson Airplane spinoff has now been going on and off for more than 40 years. Still, despite the endless comings and goings of razor-sharp players, the steady backbone has been founding members Jack Casady and Jorma Kaukonen. Under their watch, the band has continued its original project of jamming through both electric and acoustic takes on the blues, with improvisation and surprises a staple of every show. Unsurprisingly, Hot Tuna has always been a favorite of the concert taping community, which the band has in turn happily embraced. This means a dizzying array of bootlegs in the Hot Tunaverse, alongside the more than 25 entries in the band's jaw-dropping "official" discography.

I've seen Hot Tuna twice--once at the Fillmore East in July, 1970 and they were incredible. Later, in the 90's they played a NYE show in West Plam Beach--louder, not better. That said, two incredibly talented musicians. A correction to the article: in a way, Balin, Kantner, Anderson and I forget the original drummer's name (Skip Spence?) joined a band called Jefferson Airplane founded by Kaukonen and Casday who then later went on to form Hot Tuna and resume playing as a duet (with a little help from a few dozen friends over a span of forty years). You never know what incarnation of the band is going to show up, but Kaukonen and Casady played together before the Airplane ever played a gig. Hopefully it will be more folksy blues than hard rock.
