Recreating the album in it's entirety. Could be interesting. The woman who sings has a beautiful voice.

The Newton Theatre - Newton, New Jersey
The Airplane Family & Friends ... perform the 50th Anniversary of Paul Kantner / Jefferson Starship masterpiece “Blows Against the Empire... It was the first album to ever be nominated for literary science fiction’s Hugo Award in the category of Best Dramatic Presentation.
Performing “Blows” along with Jefferson Airplane favorites and some Grateful Dead jams are: Peter Kaukonen, original/ founding member of both Hot Tuna & Jefferson Starship, & a member of Jefferson Airplane with his brother Jorma. He played lead guitar & bass on the original album. Slick Aguilar, David Crosby guitarist in the 1980s, performed in Jefferson Starship for 25 years with Paul Kantner, prior to his passing in January 2016. Pianist Tom Constanten was inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame in 1995 as original pianist in Grateful Dead. Mark Karan, lead guitarist with Bob Weir’s Rat Dog and The Other Ones. Mike Falzarano played in Hot Tuna for 12 years and New Riders for 15 years. Clare Maloney, a major new talent performs all the Grace Slick vocal parts. And...there will be an original multi-media component.

Thanks Alan R.
I also am facebooless but can't find much regarding the Blows Against The Empire tour.
Slick Aguilar sometimes plays at the Sunday music out at the Coast, but I couldn't go today.
Maybe they are trying to not advertise much and keep it really low-key ?
