Hot Tuna is an offshoot of the Jefferson Airplane featuring Jorma Kaukonen on guitar and Jack Casady on bass. They've been playing together and recording since the 1970s and are still performing their blend of acoustic blues, country, and rock. Unfortunately, I've never managed to see them live (I did see the Airplane a couple of times, thank god).
Recently, I've seen a bunch of (apparently official) live releases show up on Spotify. This is the most recent from the Parker Playhouse in Fort Lauderdale, Florida recorded earlier this year. It's a nice mix of some newer songs and old favourites.
If you're looking for something with a little more punch, try this show from Portland, Oregon recorded in 2019. This one is Electric Hot Tuna, with a drummer. Crank the bass!
Finally, here's an electric show recorded in 2011 with blues great Charlie Musselwhite playing guitar and harmonica on a few tracks. The sound quality isn't quite as good as the other two shows, but the playing is energetic.
