Grace Slick vs Ms Nicks.

I got a copy of the Jefferson Airplane bio "Got a Revolution!", by Jeff Tamarkin last night, and of course, you know the first thing I did was check the index for any mention of Stevie or the Mac. They weren't listed, but I did come across this quote by David Crosby about Grace's onstage presence:

When they got Grace in the band, that was just beyond belief. She was stunning. She had a power and intensity onstage that Stevie Nicks should only ever dream she could get. With Marty she was like a bullfighter with a bull. She would circle him and dart at him and pull from him and electrify him and touch him with bare wire. And Marty rose to the occasion

I don't know what year that was in, but what do you think? I've always thought Grace kicked serious ass, onstage and off, and she is captivating, but not in the same way as Stevie. Actually, I couldn't even imagine her doing anything like that-- she would probably rather gouge her eyes out with one of those "Jefferson Airplane Loves You!" pins, than twirl around in a shawl and boots. Thoughts?
