Real musicians playing real music, timeless.

When you vividly remember watching that as a 13 yr old and it’s as great as it was 43 yrs ago.

Dunbar beating the snare drum like it owes him money.

Mickey Thomas, one of the best rock singers ever!!!

That's one power riff that never gets old. In fact, this song never ages.

Love this fuckin group. As Jefferson airplane, as Jefferson starship, and as starship. They just made great music. Period

Damn. His voice is out of this world. No autotune or any special effects. Simply amazing.

Micky doesn't often make "the" list with Daltrey, Rogers, Plant.......but he should. The very definition of underrated.

Craig Chaquiço is one of the most skilled guitarists in all the world. And to think he started playing for Starship at only 16. I really love his solo stuff. Pure joy! 💞

My God! It would be hard to find a better rock vocalist than Mickey Thomas. His range is unbelievable.

This performance surpassed pretty much every musical act on SNL from that same time period.

The whole band is superb from Mickey Thomas’s vocals to Craig Chaquico’s guitar but Aynsley Dunbars drumming stands out. It is absolutely sublime here.

That is a heck of a live performance. It is impressive to have a band that good, that on, and recorded so well for something pure live.

I saw Jefferson Starship a few years ago they played this song and Mickey Thomas's voice sounds exactly like it does in this video never lost a thing!!!

I remember seeing this when it aired. It always stayed with me how good it was. I really liked this song and this was a great performance. Plus I really liked Fridays.

Remember when people could actually sing and musicianship was a thing? Here is proof it once existed.

Man. That was tight. And Craig’s solo freakin’ jumps right in your face. Great mix.

Jefferson Starship was one of the coolest bands of the 70's, RIP Mr. Kantner !!

The guitar solo and riffs at the end were epic!

Aynsley Dunbar (former Journey & future Whitesnake) on the kit!! Wow!!!

Very strong and I would have to say the best line up of Jefferson Starship. Dunbar is always sweet on drums. This is a very sharp version of Jane!

Friday's was such a great show with awesome musical guests to bad it didn't last.

Love this Song!! ❤️😍🎵🎶🎧🎸

Happy 80th Grace Slick. Great vocals from Mickey Thomas.

Holy Smokes! How amazing this is! WOW! Adults playing live rock music and kicking ass. Listen to Mickey Thomas he is RIDICULOUS. You will never see anything like this again so soak it in.

even after 41 years this song is so freshly squeezed

Mickey Thomas…one of the greats! He is singing this live and it sounds like a recording. I don’t see this ever, in current times. I hate auto tune.

My son has taken after singing like I did in my 20s, he's in school choir and does solos and all of that. Just a few days ago I told him to pull this song up on Spotify. He'd never heard of this song so it was my duty to turn him onto another great song. I never knew Ansley Dunbar played on this song. That man played with everybody, he should be in the rock n roll hall of fame ffs. My son was blown away by Mickey's vocals. Next on the play list was "Fooled Around and Fell in Love" by Elvin Bishop that Mickey sang on as well. Guy is an incredible singer. Grace Slick had great rock vocals as well and happened to write some killer songs herself. Totally deserved a long career in music.

That version of the band was by far the best version.

What an epic performance although it's live it sounds even better than the recording, awesome musicians and vocals... who's here during the Corona virus break of 2020? 😛

40 years later...that's still sounds great!

I'm a long-time drummer and Dunbar fan. The lick he does at 3:54 is wicked -cool. I've never heard any other drummer play a lick like that. Badass!

Craig Chaquico's solo is fucking amazing!

Great live version. You can really see Paul and Craigs guitar parts. Helped me piece together the bridge and solo.

Amazing vocals by Mickey Thomas!

I WAS 16 IN 1965..... I GREW UP WITH THE..BEST MUSIC OF THE CENTURY!!!!! TOO BAD KIDS TODAY HAVE NO IDEA....WHAT MUSIC ...REALLY IS!!!!!!

LOVE this starship!!

Clearly one of the best bands of all time and definitely one of the best songs of all time! What a great performance. Still love them after all these years.

Damn, Mickey Thomas had a set of pipes.

To be able to do that live, blows my mind.

Father Guido Sarducci !!

I love this video. Everything about it. From the Father Sarducci to the last note of Mickey’s greatness. I used to watch this show as a kid and enjoyed the skits and music!! Saturday Night Live had been trying to gain ground with a new lineup at the time. The cast was great here!!

Introduction to Paul Kantner @ 0:48.Condolences to Grace Slick and China Kantner. RIP Paul Kantner.

Aynsley Dunbar breathing fire back there....One of rock's greatest drummers!!

I remember SNL in the 70's. I wish I was home then to see this. I was probably out running around

From that interval where the 70s spilled over into the 80s

Like how the back up singers jumped in and everybody was on board.

Jefferson Starship is such a weird band. A couple of old ex-hippies, a guitarist who thinks he's in Whitesnake, and a "lite rock" lead singer....and yet it works.

There aren’t three seconds of this performance that are not spectacular. All musicians, of course Mickey, and especially Grace, who is uniquely embracing her role with stage presence, vibrancy and class.

Adoro essa Banda🇧🇷

I remember seeing this the night it aired and recorded it with my tape recorder. I think I sweated through my pajamas!

Damn! That voice.... amazing.

Cool.....One of Jefferson's all time best!

Very funny show. I remember seeing this. I was also glad to see the Jefferson Starship two years later. Fun times, good music.

Grace Slick is amazing

One of my favourite songs of all time , it never gets old for me ..... Absolutely brilliant.

Farther Guido Sarducci and Dawn ? What’s that...Tie a Yellow Ribbon ‘Round the Vatican ? 😁 And Mickey Thomas ...dude sang “Fooled around and fell in love” in Elvin Bishop’s band too..hell of a voice.

Hard to believe that a few years later these rockin MFers would release we built this city..

‘81 was a great year for Jefferson Starship with ‘Modern Times’ getting released.

I never missed a “Friday’s” ...the music was so good ....even The Clash came on this show!

MICKEY THOMAS YOU ARE MAGNIFICENT ! ! MY NUMBER 1 F A V O R I T E ! !

Listen to those highs!! Mickey totally ruls on this. Love it, love it, love it.

Perfect rendition

Aynsley has played for all the biggest rock bands of the era.

I don’t care who you are, that was fucking awesome. Every one of them was precisely on point that’s a whole lot of talent there folks.

Kick ASS!!

The very first time that I heard this song and checked the rock compilation album, I was astounded that it was Jefferson Starship but that was nothing compared the stellar Mickey Thomas, a fantastic song arrangement and blinding band performance. Still absolutely love to hear this live regularly.

Steve Perry. I saw both. Jefferson Starship New Year’s Eve at the Cow palace 82-83. Dunbar twirling his sticks in between beets, Mickey in voice, Craig hitting every not as played on the album. The whole band was on fire! Then a year or so later at Day On The Green (Bill Graham Productions) I saw Journey. Steve came out and said, “We just got back from our world tour, and it’s so great to be back in the Bay Area, if you guys want us to play all night we will!” I kid not, they played for 3 and a half hours, and Steve hit every high and every low. Phenomenal show! I feel privileged to have seen SO much great rock and roll talent back in the 80’s. Perhaps Steve’s range was a little more dynamic? Either way both Steve and Mickey, equally great.

Definitely a top 10 rock song of all time

Thank you for sharing. This lineup was the first rock concert I ever attended.

I remember seeing this on tv when I was 11 yrs old; it made quite the impression, I never forgot it. I was surprised to find it here, great performance!

Wow! What a performance. I didn't expect to be as further wrapped up in it as each second passed through the whole song. Each person on that stage, including the cast when they got up there, was into just rocking out and feeling good about the moment.

Wow!! Jefferson Starship performs " Jane", live on "Fridays";1981

Unbelievable note at 3:35...gives me chills

GREAT MEMORIES! LOVED FRIDAYS, FOR BRINGING GOOD HARD ROCK BANDS IN

I remember when this hit the rock radio stations in 1981. I was in my senior year of high school. I loved this one plus the similar track from these guys called "Find Your Way Back". Little did I know at the time that I was getting ready to take a ride on the best decade of rock music ever... The 80's! I am forever grateful I was at a perfect time in my life to enjoy it to the fullest too. Young kids today just have no idea!

still very good at this moment here.....

Chaquico's solo is one of the rock greatest ever

I'm sorry Elizabeth 😞 I miss you 39 years later

I'm 34, Wet Hot American Summer brought me to this song and I'm glad it did. They sound just like the studio version playing it here, color me impressed.

Aynsley Dunbar - Geez is there anybody that guy has not played with?

On this day in 1983 {March 19th} Jefferson Starship performed "Jane" on the late Dick Clark's American Bandstand'... Four years earlier on 1979 it peaked at #14 on the Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart... It was the first release with Starship's new lead singer, Mickey Thomas... R.I.P. Mr. Clark {1929 - 2012}...

Cool,Looks like they were having a blast.Great the cast got involved.Excellent song!

So powerful and they sound great-amazing singing and musicians

Father Guido Sarduchi what a trip. Great performance by the starship.

I fooled around and fell in love.

Great song after all these years 💗.

great song ... nice drumming

Awesome song.

WHAT A VOICE HOLY CRAP!!

Drummer Ainsley Dunbar really makes this song with his inventive playing

wow... This song seriously rocks!

Throughout the 1970s and 1980s Grace Slick was smokin' hot! Such a gorgeous woman!!!

This song and this performance is everything.

I saw this episode of "Fridays" when it originally aired in 1981. I watched it regularly because I was in lust with Melanie Chartoff. This is such a cool song. Aynsley Dunbar was/is one of my favourite drummers...reminds me a lot of the late Cozy Powell.

At the end when the folks from the house band walked over to sing and jam along with the band was the best part. Those are the kind of spur of the moment happenings that make TV performances like this something special.

Just doesn't get any better than that !

I saw this when it originally aired. The show itself was “okay” funny but this was the highlight.

"Fridays" was a GREAT show! I hadn't seen it since it was on the air. That was before VCRs and DVRs. Hard to believe it was 30+ years ago!!

Incredible performance! That was one killer lineup. 🤘🏻
