You can find documentation on the players that filled in for the regular members, special guests, and setlists either whole or at least partial for 703 concerts. There is no reason to stop there. The first time a song appeared, alternate versions, excerpts, poem titles, and a year-by-year breakdown of the tunes performed are all included in the flight manual. Finally, you can see which Jefferson Airplane titles were performed, an entire list of documented songs played 1974-1978 and 1992-2007 as well as an extensive listing of many of the cover tunes performed and the artists that made them famous.

During the creative process of the book Fenton interviewed thirty-two individuals from the San Francisco music scene including Jefferson Airplane members and personnel from the spin-off bands, as well as their contemporaries. Take Me To A Circus Tent has received superlative reviews from both professional critics and fans of the San Francisco sound.
