The audience kept chanting for Grace so much that the next night (also in West Germany) the band forced her to take the stage. Grace was so drunk and was making fun of Germans with all types of World War 2 references and how they lost the war, etc. The band had enough and she was thrown out of the band. She would appear almost 10 years later with the new "Starship." While a success, Grace has always said she hated singing those light weight pop songs with Starship. Grace was 40 when Starship had their big hit "We built this city." She regrets rejoining obviously. Grace is brutally honest and I admire that about her sometimes.

There is video footage of this incident. What Grace did was outrageous-- berating the audience for Germany's past. She said "Remember who won the war!" I'm a huge fan of Jefferson Airplane, and certain aspects of Jefferson Starship. Grace marches to the beat of her own drum. She has always been extremely eccentric, opinionated and outspoken. I'm not phased at all by her comments about Fleetwood Mac. It's just typical Grace.
