A decade-spanning journey through the San Francisco sound, charting the evolution from acid-drenched folk-rock to polished stadium anthems and solo excursions.

Flight Log functions as a sonic time capsule, capturing the volatile and vibrant decade between 1966 and 1976. It is far more than a simple greatest hits collection; it is a curated narrative of a musical family's evolution. The album moves from the jangly, earnest folk-rock of the mid-sixties through the heavy, feedback-laden psychedelia of the Summer of Love, eventually landing in the sophisticated, high-production rock of the mid-seventies. The listener experiences the shifting tides of the counterculture through the voices of Grace Slick, Marty Balin, and Paul Kantner, whose harmonies remain the anchor through every stylistic pivot.
