Quicksilver Messenger Service biography, Quicksilver Messenger Service discography
Quicksilver Messenger Service was one of San Francisco's original psychedelic bands of the late 1960s.Essentially a jam band, their early albums and live shows contributed to some of the best instrumental jams of the period.The band comes together
1.It was Valente who organized the group.We were going to have leather jackets made with hooks that we could hook these wireless instruments right into.Cipollina, and everybody somehow put two and two together.He actually lived with us when he got out of prison, and while we played some music together and wrote songs, he had no interest in playing in Quicksilver; he wanted to start his own career.Dino, probably because I was the only guy playing an electric guitar, let alone lead, at the time ...We talked about rehearsing one night and planned to rehearse the following night but it never happened.The next day Dino got busted.Valente's, who had been in a band with Paul Kantner and David Crosby, had been released from jail."We were to take care of this guy Freiberg", Cipollina recalled, and though they had never met before, Freiberg was added to the group.This new version of the band had its first paying gig in December 1965, playing for the Christmas party of the comedy troupe the Committee.Me and Freiberg were born on the same day, and Gary and Greg were born on the same day, we were all Virgos and Murray was a Gemini.And Virgos and Geminis are all ruled by the planet Mercury.First three albums
Having split company with Murray, the band began a period of heavy touring on the West Coast of the United States.Quicksilver released Quicksilver Messenger Service in 1968, followed by Happy Trails the following year.These two albums define a classic period in Quicksilver's career and are most strongly associated with their unique sound, emphasising extended arrangements.Bo Diddley's "Who Do You Love?".Duncan left after the recording of Happy Trails."Well, let's put it this way," says he, remembering back 18 full years, "at the end of 1968, I was pretty burned out.We'd been on the road for, really, the first time in our lives.This version of Quicksilver released 1970's Shady Grove, dominated by Hopkins's virtuouso piano boogie.Valente Takes Control
In the meantime, Duncan had teamed up with Valente, and when Duncan was asked to return, Valente followed.Quicksilver recorded the two "Hawaiian Albums" under Valente's control (Just for Love and What About Me?Glimpses of the old Quicksilver can be heard on occasional songs on these albums (where it appears Cipollina has taken the helm).Valente, Duncan and Elmore continued performing with various players until 1979.Freiberg went on to join Jefferson Airplane, staying with them throughout their mutations into Jefferson Starship.Hopkins continued his journeyman career, including playing with Jefferson Airplane at Woodstock.Gary Duncan resurrected the name and released the albums Peace by Piece in 1986, Shapeshifter Vols.Strange Trim in 2006, along with several live albums and a website, quicksilvermessengerservice.It is also the name of a San Francisco based bicycle courier firm that is still in existence.This page was last modified 20:41, 4 February 2008.Charts
