Customer Rating:      Summary: Quicksilver at the Filmore Comment: A rare live album of a much underated 60's band. Excellent guitar playing with the usual long solos that were a part of live 60's performances. This album, I think I am right in saying was rated in the top 200 of all time by Rolling Stone magazine. I thoroughly recommend it!
Customer Rating:      Summary: QMS : Best Expressive Acid Jam Band Ever Comment: Happy Trails by The QMS is branded forever in our memory,
and especially its
Who, When, Where, How and Which Do You Love
(Bo Diddley reworks) on this splendid piece of
esoteric electric guitar masterpiece.
It is fine buy with a very long playlist.
Cipollina, Duncan and Others are superb.
(Even if they spent time in lock-up for enjoying Life,
in harmless peace-loving pursuits of flowerful happiness,
rather than bombing the Jungle Life of SE Asia in a
War Criminal War of extreme hypocrisy...)
The audience joins in with clapping and chanting in
complete harmony at times...
Happy Trails really brings back
vivid colourful memories, tinged with
rainbow electric iridescence...
Mona (originally by Bo Diddley), Calvary and Maiden
of the Cancer Moon, with their strange eerie vibes,
are worthy as unusual experimental music art.
QMS is one band we hope to remember and listen to
in the AfterLife.
We heard QMS greatly live at Mammoth Gardens in Denver
in the late 1960's and also enjoyed those colourful
psychedelic Fillmore West mandala Postcards.
Please Avoid Smoking in Flight...
Take Another Hit...
Of Fresh Air !
Happy Trails To You...
Until We Meet Again...
Customer Rating:      Summary: Bo Diddley lives ! Comment: A crazy 25 minutes jamming with "Who do you love" plus a splendid "Mona" from Diddley and a still more crazy "calvary", with a funny 45 sec. country tune... and all that before Nicky Hopkins joins the band. QMS is one the the most underated groupe in classic rock.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Quicksilver Messenger Service Comment: A great glimpse back to the acid rock days of the early seventies. One side devoted to Bo Diddly's "Who do you Love?". Some great guitar work.
Customer Rating:      Summary: bad sound Comment: Great performance,
but the sound is poor, compressed and the frequency response is midrangy and really limited. Spend a few bucks more and get the IMPORT version. The IMPORT sound is a revelation, three octaves wider, almost hi-fi demo quality on a good stereo.
This pressing has criminally bad remastering by Capital, who doubtless has the master tapes.
If you haven't heard the IMPORT, you've never heard this CD!
