For a multitude of unknown reasons, it’s been said that Hot Tuna—undoubtedly the best of the many Jefferson Airplane sequel bands (which I’ll fight you on)—will not be doing any more electric gigs after this year. Members Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady will spend the rest of their time together sticking to acoustic sets, but for the third-to-last show of this tour, Justin Guip—a backup drummer for Levon Helm in the last decade of his life—will bang on the cans in downtown Clearwater.
