"We Built this City on Rock and Roll". Possibly one the most memorable hooks of the 80s. I have yet to meet a person who is not familiar with this song. And if you are not, then I probably don't want to meet you.
Of course, Starship is the band responsible for this 80s classic and the many others they have blessed us with over the years. Seeing Starship is one of my most memorable live music experiences. They were just fantastic, and their live performance was a real testament to their musical craft.
Having seen the band a few times since then and very recently, the line up has changed but despite this, the chemistry between members, new and old, never flounders, which is so refreshing to see. Mickey Thomas does a fantastic job of fronting Starship solo these days and still commands the stage with the same presence he did 25 years ago.
I will never tire of hearing "We Built This City" live, along with other hit records such as "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" and "Sara", and neither will other fans. As long as they continue to play, then I will continue to jump aboard that 'Starship'.
