Thirty Seconds Over Winterland is a 1973 album by the American psychedelic rock band Jefferson Airplane. (The title combines references to the film Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo and the Winterland Ballroom.) It was the second live album recorded by the group, recorded during the Long John Silver tour. The band did not tour together after September, 1972 until the 1989 tour and eponymous album. Paul Kantner, Grace Slick, and David Freiberg headed to the studio to record the next album, and every member of the band showed up for Baron von Tollbooth and the Chrome Nun, but for the most part Jerry Garcia played the lead guitar and Chris Ethridge played bass. Hot Tuna continued on as a separate entity recording The Phosphorescent Rat and the remaining band members would get together again in 1974 with a new lead guitarist and bassist as Jefferson Starship to tour in support of Grace Slick's Manhole album,

In 1989, software company Berkeley Systems released its immensely popular After Dark screensaver. The best-known of the various screensaver options was Flying Toasters, whose winged appliances strongly resembled the toasters on the cover of Thirty Seconds Over Winterland. When another software company, Delrina, copied the trademarked Flying Toasters artwork into a competing screen saver, a Bloom County-themed version, Berkeley successfully sued Delrina for trademark infringement. Although much of the media and public bought into Delrina's well-prepared PR campaign spin that they were merely "parodying" the product...the judge did not see it that way.
Shortly after this, Jefferson Airplane sued Berkeley for copying their flying toasters trademark for their album. The band's case, however, was lost because Berkeley claimed no prior knowledge of the artwork and a judge noted the band had failed to trademark the cover art.[1] bWww E Sex En Slide Texas Thirty Seconds Over Winterland - pedia, the free encyclopedian 18 Max cWww E Sex En Slide Texas Thirty Seconds Over Winterland - pedia, the free encyclopediae z z Hardcore Hardcore b b Max Blog
