Wore out that old 8 track. Use to drive from Florida to New York when I was in college. I would put Happy Trails on and drive about 12 hours listening to it continuously (cause that is what 8 track did). It is ingrained into my brain cells.

Quicksilver was my favorite band, and John cippolena was my hero. I saw them every chance I got but there was a limiting factor: I was young, and I lived in berkeley. In 1968. I bought their 1st album and I was 13. I had been rocking out in golden gate park and the Haight Ashbury for about 3-4 years at that point and getting high all the time and selling weed. I appreciate this footage because it takes me back to a really happy time in my life, what would color the rest of my life for all time, and I wouldn't change a thing even if I could. From this time on I would be engaged in the protests in berkeley as my awareness of the world around us grew. Thank you quicksilver, and John cippolena ( and Gary) for the gift of a lifetime in helping me to see the light. I love you still.

I loved Quick Silver Messenger Service! The singer was awesome and the band was so good. Discovered them in 1969 at the age of 18. "What You Gonna Do About Me?" was appropriate in the 70's and 2020 that found this country in civil unrest, politically divided, violence and the historical pandemic raging on. This song is the backdrop for videos of this era. History does repeat itself as man cannot solve the problems on earth.

I'm not sure people realize the historical importance of this footage but I invite any and all comments. Quicksilver made it's name from '66-'68 with the tandem guitar wizardry of Gary Duncan and much missed John Cippolina. Gary decided to leave the band (I have heard many explanations) and they released the legendary Happy Trails in 1969. The band foundered for a bit but John struck up a great friendship with the legendary keyboard genius Nicky Hopkins. The resulting LP, Shady Grove is a marked departure from Happy Trails but I think quite inspired. I have often called it Nicky's greatest solo LP with the remaining members of Quicksilver as backing musicians. Not long after Gary returned along with Dino Valente. I saw them at the Fillmore East in April 1970 and they were quite good, they benefited from Dino's songwriting skills but I found them a bit "top heavy". They recorded the two "Hawaiian" LP's but Dino's personality was abrasive from the start. First to go was Nicky and John followed shortly thereafter in 1970. John gigged briefly with Copperhead and a Welsh band, Man. Gary soldiered on with Dino Valente to do a couple of lack luster LP's. I don't believe Gary and John ever played together again until they tried a reunion in 1975, and I believe this footage, is the result. There are lots of "tapes" from the early years but any footage of them playing together is almost nonexistent - until this. And what exists is very brief and not terribly noteworthy. This is remarkably good if you can get past Dino's posturing. And Greg Elmore is a much better drummer than I realized. I listened to today's processed music and it's so sad.

It was "Edward the Mad Shirt Grinder" from Shady Grove that caused my father to have an epiphany and change his total attitude toward the music of my generation - he was a piano player.

Loved the Old Filmore too with the little rooms upstairs. I never understood why Quicksilver Messenger Service didn't become as big as the Dead or the Airplane. And there was another San Fran band called Osiola and they were so excellent but only San Francisco seemed to know them. I love the special music sound of San Francisco musicians. Mix it with the Tulsa Sound (Cale, Russell, Clapton's old long-term band, Elvin Bishop, Steve Pryor) and your got some music to go to the moon!

@edwardgonczy31707 жыл бұрын
As to your question as to why QMS didn't make it as big as the Dead or Airplane, think I might have an explanation. Gary Duncan once commented that so long as we made enough for "pot" and food, we were happy. The Airplane were always very business minded, they and The Who demanded to be paid at Woodstock before they went on. And The Dead, despite being just as "crazy" as QMS, seemed to just keep getting better and to be able to change with the times. "Workingman's Dead" was a marked departure from "Live/Dead" but demonstrated a remarkable ability to write very concise, musical songs along with the "psychedelic jams". That kept them in good stead as the years passed and tastes changed.

I listened to this band in the early 70s and raided second hand record stores to find their albums and then bought re-releases in the mid 70s from a label in the USA. John Cipollina was an inspirational guitarist for me!

Saw them in STL early 70s but the thing is their were 4 guys sitting in front of us. Back in the day you could smoke weed at concerts We were smoking and offered a hit to them. They said COOL. Not to long after they said we gotta go on stage. It was quicksilver

Brilliant origional band. bought their double live album in the 80's and managed to get all their albums from then on. My favourite is the first lp. I was born in 65 and was a teenager during the vacous era of music this band was my pathway back to the San Francisco music from the Dead airplane real music and an era with a spirital sense we have lost in this plastic digital age where a sense of community has been lost ✌

Being an upper New York state resident back in the 1960's and thru 1977 never got a chance to see this band live yet was the only teenager in my social group that ever bought any of their recordings. First recording I purchased as LP back in 1970's was Just for Love, also recall buying their Shady Grove LP when I was on vacation in L.A. at Tower Records on Sunset Blvd. back around 1970. Always liked this band's music, one of the best U.S. rock bands from the 1960's and 1970's. Loved the LP album cover of Shady Grove, created by Globe Propaganda, who also created the LP cover for It's A Beautiful Day's first LP release. Was personally into career art training back then for Commercial and Fine Arts, that LP cover was inspirational as creativity.

I have loved all their albums for decades but never heard much live stuff. This is a brilliant performance with a great mix of songs from across their recording career. It even has 'Gypsy Lights' - one of only 2 songs that I know of about UFO (UAP) sightings (the other being 'Have you seen the saucers ?' by Jefferson Airplane). And of course I sang along with 'What About Me'.😚
