Planet
Earth Rock and Roll Radio is coming to the Internet. The
show may be aired on NPR affiliate WESU in Middletown Connecticut (at
the WESLEYAN
UNIVERSITY - once the hotbed of liberal thinking and
studies: http://www.wesleyan.edu/)
The show will feature the music of the Planet Earth Rock
and Roll Orchestra as well as various interviews,
historical and hysterical recordings that will recall the
times and events that shaped the music.
We expect to have many interviews with Band Members,
former Band members, Managers, and other interesting folks
. We also will hear from JFK, Nixon, Eisenhower, LBJ,
Agnew (why-for God's sake why!), Abbie Hoffman, Jerry
Rubin, Jane Fonda, Firesign Theater and Rowin and Martin!
Expect lively discussions on anything from the Acid Tests
to the Atomic Tests, the Viet-Nam War to the Iraqi War,
the four string bass to the 12 string guitar - with plenty
of room for your input.
Planet Earth Rock and Roll Radio is the beginning of a
foundation to preserve the history that we experienced.
Now everybody here can join
in the Band. Planet Earth-Rock and Roll dream! Those that
can can contribute funds or materials that we can use in
our weekly broadcasts. We might just take this show on the
road!

Planet
Earth Rock and Roll Orchestra is the name of a Band and an
album that in many ways helped to ignite the fires of
creative thought and inspire millions of folks to adopt a
lifestyle of freedom and self expression.
While Planet
Earth Rock and Roll Orchestra - the album had a long stay
in the vaults of RCA, those who were fortunate enough to
get a copy in 1982 regard this as one of the best ever
Jefferson Starship recordings, perhaps one of the best
recordings of all time.
Brief History
The Planet
Earth Rock and Roll Orchestra was really a super group.
While Jefferson Airplane, The Grateful Dead and Crosby,
Stills, Nash and Young were recording at the same studios
they came together (with many other friends) to
record/collaborate on several albums. Planet
Earth Rock and Roll Orchestra or PERRO was a great
experiment among many very talented friends. The first
Jefferson Starship album was a result of that
collaboration. As Jefferson Starship began to drift from
it's original course Paul Kantner decided to do a bookend
album to complete that phase - Planet
Earth Rock and Roll Orchestra was to be the last
Jefferson Starship album and he went with Marty Balin and
Jack Casady to form the KBC Band.
Through an exclusive deal with RCA we now are able to get
this classic in your hands (click
