The tour hasn’t officially started yet, so I don’t know exactly what Country Joe is going to do. The first show (which I’m going to) is in a couple of weeks. I would GUESS that Joe will do some stuff by himself and maybe a little with the band. We’ll see.
Yes, Marty has issues at home to take care of and is very on-and-off as far as touring with the band goes.
Yes, they do a WIDE mix of Airplane and Starship stuff. On the European leg they added a (Casady-less) Pooneil. Last year they inserted (the Dead’s) Dark Star in the middle of The Other Side of This Life. Recently they’ve gone into the catalog to do Blues From An Airplane, DCBA-25 and even some Great Society stuff (Darkly Smiling and Sally Go ‘Round The Roses). This year they’re promising to add some Weavers and some Dylan.
Should be very interesting and a lot of fun.
