Dragon Fly credited to Grace Slick / Paul Kantner / Jefferson Starship's 1974 was the transitional album between the various shifting groups, Slick and Kantner had been recording with as Jefferson Airplane dissolved in the early ‘70s and the new Jefferson Starship began. This album just missed the Top Ten and went gold within six months, selling as well as any Jefferson Airplane albums generally did. Although the single "Ride the Tiger" only rose to #84 on the Billboard charts, the album itself hit #11.
"Hyperdrive" was used in the opening ceremonies of the 1976 World Science Fiction Convention, MidAmeriCon, in Kansas City, Missouri.
