The band has undergone several major changes in personnel and genres through the years while retaining the same Jefferson Starship name . The band name was retired in 1985, but picked up again in the early' 90s by a Kantner - led revival of the group . </P> <P> In 1970, while Jefferson Airplane was on break from touring, singer - guitarist Paul Kantner recorded Blows Against the Empire . This was a concept album featuring an ad hoc group of musicians (centered on Kantner, Grace Slick, Joey Covington, and Jack Casady of Jefferson Airplane; Crosby & Nash; and members of Grateful Dead and Santana) credited on the LP as "Paul Kantner & Jefferson Starship", marking the first use of that name . This agglomeration was informally known as the Planet Earth Rock and Roll Orchestra, a moniker later used on a Kantner album in the early 1980s . </P>
