@Bianchi541 I wasn't able to find Miphon, but the great thing about music or poetry is the fact that there can be many ways to interpret and understand it, and each one is true and correct.
Actually this song is from the What About Me album, from 1970. Cipollina, Freiberg and Hopkins are also on it, along with Valenti and the group's real engine, Gary Duncan.
@JKT3953 .....TO THE LAST THREE COMMENTING..... I TOO STILL HAVE THE LP, ALONG WITH MY SPOOKY TOOTH AND LED ZEPPLIN. THIS ABOUT THE LATE 60'S /EARLY 70'S......IT'S STILL THE BEST TIMES IN ROCK FOR ME. KENT STATE MAKES ME THINK OF CROSBY, NASH & YOUNG. THE WORST OF IT ALL ......WE HAVE LEARNED NOTHING AS FAR AS HOW THE FIGHT THESE FUCKING CORRUPT GOVERNMENT AND THEIR CONTROL GROWS MORE 7 MORE. THE PATRIOT ACT JUST MADE THINGS WORST FOR AMERICANS WITH EVEN MORE CONTROL ON AMERICANS, FUCKING BUSH!

SEEMS WE LEARNED NOTHING ABOUT VIET NAM WAR. KILLED MOST OF THE ROCKIN SOULS. EVEN NOW, AMERICANS WERE PRO-WAR IN AFGANASTAN AND THEY HAD TO LEARN THE HARD WAY. IT WAS JUST ANOTHER POLITICAN WAR....AMERICANS LOST BIG TIME. YESTERDAY WAS VETERANS DAY AND TOO BAD WE DON'T TALK ABOUT ALL THE PTS OF THE MAJORITY OF MEN. OUR THE HERO DOGS THEY KILLED AND DIDN'T ALLOW TO COME BACK TO THE STATES. OUR GOVERNMENT IS A GREED GAME FOR THE WEALTHY IN CONTROL.....THE INDUSTRY OF KILLING MACHINES. WAR GAMES!
@JKT3953 From Wikipedia.... "Writing for Allmusic, music critic Lindsay Planer wrote of the album "Musically, there is little to delineate the fifth long-player from Quicksilver Messenger Service, What About Me, from their previous effort, Just for Love. Not surprisingly, material for both was initiated during a prolific two-month retreat..."[1]"
@fatheroflatus Just send them love,they´re only sad conditioned idiots fast asleep.This song opened my eyes in 1974,I´m 62 now and still play it regularly as a reminder of what i see today.Chem trails in the sky,genetically modified food,forests cut down,you name it.Anyway,great band and a feckin GREAT song.Check out ANONYMOUS and wikileaks if you have´nt already,i think the dislikes will dislike this as well,haha
...and most of what I do believe is against most of your laws...but,,,but I am going to be free because most of your rules and regulations - don't do a thing for me...I feel like a stranger in the land which I was born and I live just like an outlaw,,I am always on the run,,,,,,watcha gonna do about me???-W
takes me back. great tune. and a prophecy come partly true: 'they' did indeed poison our sweet waters (as well as our salt waters) and all the other stuff. Unfortunately the revolution turned out not to be so close at hand. bummer.
this brings back memories of my philly girl who loved this song and me, i loved her back...shipped out to Korea and i broke her heart...i got lost in the world, will always hold her special and never forgive myself for hurting her...hope she has had a good life, we did love pretty good when we were together...Dar was great...
this is a great song that still makes me sad today as back then... and angry at dare i say...the establishment.. not expecting a peaceful revolution, unforrtunately without some divine intervention.
@lorendad What lesson should be learned from May 4, 1970 at Kent State? Too bad Neil young does not sing about all the events leading up to that unfortunate day. As usual he blames the government and the establishment, but yet he dwells and prospers in it.
@lorendad this summer i hear the drummin. Four dead in ohio. hell yeah. im currently a freshman in highschoool and veitnam, woodstock, the chicago seven etc fit nowhere into our curriculum.they teach the America they want us to believe in and it makes me sick.
@lorendad crosby said neil young wrote that song in ten minutes [4 students were killed 7 national gaurdsman indieted none convicted only one family of the victims recieved money on appeal ] i have a friend who was a student at kent state at the time .
@lorendad 4 students were killed 8 national gaurdsman indicted none convicted only one family recieved money compensation on appeal chrissie hynde was a student there then so was my friend we had a morattorium at my college
Used to own the album, when they were actually called albums. I saw them in concert during the mid-seventies. Great concert and band. Thanks for posting it.

Askysbottom, you have turned me on to Spirt and QMS. Which, I have to say are two great bands. Can you recommend anyone else? I'm a huge Beatles fan. But, I guess who
Isn't. I have a story about QMS. In the early 80's I worked as a doorman/bouncer at a local downtown bar. The manager insisted that we play, "what about me" at least once a night. I asked him why and he said it brought back many fond memories of a girl he once knew. The power of music. It never ceases to amaze me. Thanks.
Askysbottom, are you serious about the youth comment? I apologize. It Is not my intention to piss anybody off. I happen to like the music from the 60's. Unfortunately, it wasen't my era.
Aimee fan...quit making us jealous w/the youth thing.....Quicksilver a San Francisco product at the height of hippies & light shows. Their years of perfection were 1968-1971...similar years to Spirit. The talent was John Cippolina/ Gary Duncan/ Dino Valenti/ David Frieberg/ Greg Elmore....Definitely another underrated band. Happy Trails & keep finding those 60's music gems.
There's still a lot around if you look for it. Jorma's playing, Mavis Staples, Seva benefit, One From the Vault (Rez Foundation), Phil's 70th birthday, Richard Thompson, David Nelson's band, Mickey Hart at the Fillmore, Kreutzman's band at the Independent - more but I'm old now and my memory isn't very good:)
@jmar1371 We thought we could change the world for the better. But the evil ones we did not care about were working to make their evil more powerful. The result is today.
just read your comment under qsm "me" . you nailed in 3 sentences what ive been trying to express to myself , children, friends, and even the "fvil ones" . my eyes welled with tears at the unfortunate truth of your statement, but also pride in that they were naver able to"do about me" . we just got to keep movin on and put the love out there to be shared with and energize otherd for generations behind us . thank you joe b.
jimmatera- This is not the same 'me' that the children today are always crying. Listen to what they are saying, not what you hear. it was about ALL of us then. We were one. A concept that the youth of today does not have.
It's either the visualizer from iTunes or windows xp music player. I set the movie camera up at the screen. I did the same thing with a couple other of my videos. Check out Debra Allen vids.
There"s no Video unless in some dark room somewhere but i did see them in 1972 along with = The Chamber Brother and = The Turtles for $6.50 . And Trust me under some Orange Sunshine Acid it was one of the best concert i ever been. The crowd was blown away and were able to con the band into playing two more extra songs at the end.
I agree with 6749er 2 clicks down. . . . totally right on the mark. I had a friend who know Cippolina really well. . .he got royally screwed by Valenti.
Ruined Quicksilver--one of the greatest bands of that era.
...I work in your factories...I study in your schools...I fill your penatentiaries...and your military too....and I feel the futrure trembling...as the word is passed around....
i saw them in 1972 at the Miami Jai Alai hall on 4 way sunshine along with the Chambers Brothers and ..The Turtles for $ 6.50 thats right six dollars and fifty cent the acid hit cost me $ 5.00 but the memories are priceless . hi Dick Finnegan and Donald and my Honda 350 SL brand new in 1972 what a hell of a summer that was school was out so Alice Cooper was also playing in the same hall so was Black Sabbath
i was 16 and with bike to travel from party house to party house oh and concerts did i forgot Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes haha to my friends who are still alive you know who is this i miss forever Jeffrey Grimes hello Karen sorry about jeff my best friend.
When I was buying acid in the late 80's it was usually $5 a hit (not 4X, though). Likely not nearly as good as your's. Do you mean that it was actually Owsley's Sunshine?
Hey, didn't expect to see you here, sir! Just LOVE your magic tricks. :)
Anyway, I'm glad I was shown this song; My friend Hazama Yakiba guided me here, telling me that this song reminded him of me. Hearing it, I am very, very flattered.
Thank you for the upload, and Zendish; I feel I've neglected to watch your videos lately, and I feel kinda bad. I hope you've got new card tricks up! ^_^
The reason groups like this were so unique and great was they had jazz, folk, classical, early rock n roll and blues background influences. What hope is there for young musicians today to be innovative when there influences are Blink 182 and Nickleback. It's sick. As a musician myself I'm so glad I have so many great bands to influence my playing like QMS. Check out the "Love is the Song We Sing" box set. It's amazing how many fantastic bands came out of San Fran.
Led Zepellin was on Palladia Monday night. Movie "The Song Remains the same". Robert Plat, Jimmy Paige, John Bonham... talk about a trip back in time. You're right, very few of these wannabes these days can "make your own music".
Lorendad know what you mean."Hey you Long Haired Queer".I was still fresh from the reservation.I'd turn around and say"You ever get the shit beat out of you by a longhaired queer?So much for Peace and Love lol,
lorendad...I went to high school in one of the most racist places in the swamps of Louisiana.I played drums in a band called Fresh Garbage with 4 white boys.With our music we started a revolution in one of the most unlikely places.I went to college in New Orleans in 1969.Full of Hippies with long hair,beads,smoking loco weed and peyote..Just like Me.
This was one of my inspirational songs in high school.....went from super jock to super revolutionary lol.I played drums in a band called "Fresh Garbage" down in the bayous of south louisiana.
what are we watching? This looks a lot like a video feedback effect I used in the early '80's, only a bit different! Can anybody answer? I simply aimed a VHS camera at my TV while wired up to see what I was recording and got all these fantasticly psychedelic images! I wonder if this is the digital version of the same effect principal?
I used my HP laptop for this effect. I believe they call it a "skin" effect in the Windoz OS. Not as clear and free flowing as the effects on my Debra Allen's "Delta Dreamland Video" that I made on my iBook and used the "visualizer in iTunes".
"never tell you whole story?" yea it's right. They snooped and violated our constitutional rights, operating secret prisons, violating Geneva convention treaty, and so on under name of the protecting nation from a terror attack?
Holy smokes, I had almost forgotten about this band! I loved this song way back when. Great music, and don't you know it - the lyrics are still relevant. Must go find a CD...
It seems like you can only get the truth from mystic poets and comedians . Only very rarely are they inclined to be politicians , and never from the corporate world of greed . Glad to know there are so many free thinkers still keeping watch . Our networking is a great strength .
i believe this was on their 1970 album "What About Me", not on the "Happy Trails" live album (which is what i think you meant by "Who Do You Love album"). although both albums are indeed pretty awesome.
is this not right? i don't know much about the band so someone please tell me if i'm wrong...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This song is from the 1970 "What About Me" album. "Who Do You Love" was on the "Happy Trails" album before Dino when they were a Great band. There is no Dino on Who Do You Love. or Happy Trails. That's the real QMS from SF for us who were there. Dino was not a SF fans fave. We saw too much of them before him & his Act took over not to know, John & David were both on their way out away from Dino when this came out.. 1965-68 pre-Dino is Real QMS to us. They were Awesome
We're still here. Reaching across the years to embrace modern psychedelic music (Meat Beat Manifesto, Negativland, Noble Gas) to ancient tribal musicians, classical musicians like Messiaen, and jazz like Weather Report.
the radio played this fantastic classic song while i was riding my hog today in california. my heartrate went up and so did my speed. when i arrived home i immediately went on line searching and that's how i arrived here today friends. bad ass mother fucking band! peace out!
I went to the 40th anniversary of the Summer Of Love at Monterey july 2007. And one of the main reasons was some of the members of QSMS were going to perform there right where they did 40 years earlier. I'm not familiar with all the names of the band members but I do know David Freiberg was one of the dudes on stage that great day. I took a picture of him and one of the other guitar players. They jammed! PEACE!
this is one of the timeless songs. in league with marvin gaye's what's going on album, and gil scott-heron's the revolution will not be televised. the truth transcends generations.
Delat... saw your post 10 hrs ago and thought I'd respond.. Yes life is fleeting and no matter what words are used to convey that to the young, it cannot be realized until it has sped past you (I'm 60). This has always been one of my favorites. I was in S.F. 65-68, & I heard ALL the bands that played Filmore. I wonder why this song hasn't been picked-up now by the young as the lyrics still hold true today as they did then..and even more!!! Be Well In Life and enjoy every minute of it.. :)
Still get the chills when I hear this and fresh air. I am 58 and I never stop listening and getting lost in the memories these songs bring back to me. Wow did life fly by so quick.
i loved quicksilver the first time i heard them in the summer of love, just turning 18 and ready to take on the world. what a melancholic feeling this song brings to mind whenever hearing it. very underrated band. thank God for youtube
I'm afraid fear and ignorance have taken over the collective consciencess. If the fight is taken to the streets again the NWO army will be there to greet us. Be ready for the challenge. The Flag may still fly at the post office but this isn't America anymore
This is not true Things are being done It though is today just as it was then Those who do something those who do care are so far and in between that we find ourselves fighting alone Preparing for the witch trials It appears my generation just as all the ones before us fell for the lie They fell for the hope of the mighty dollar their greed has overcome them It appears my dollar is worth as much as there plastic Absolutely nothing
I love this song so much . It floats through the air like a cloud of holy , healing gas from mother nature . Thank you Quicksilver ; I've been loving your song since it came out . The Marine's have their battle hymn and I have mind , What about that !
Hey klauss,I know what you mean.Check out "leaf and stream" by wishbone ash, your'e probably already familiar with "nature's way" by spirit and "everybody's talkin' at me" by harry nillson,"people get together" by the youngbloods.Isn't stiener spelled steiner? :)
I was just a baby (well, 15 or so - same thing) when I first heard this song. Who knew it would still be this good, and pertinent, 40years later!! Thanks for posting it!!
love this song. even though born too late for the 60s it listened to this music during its teens -- Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver, Hendrix, 10 Years After, etc.
I had totally forgotten about this song because the radio stations insist on playing Lynerd Skinnerd and Led Zepplin all day long. The other day we were talking and my son said, "What about me?" It triggered my memory so I went to You tube to look this up. THANKS!
This song seems so relevent to today's events because it isn't a song about events, it's a song about the human condition, and that hasn't changed much.

There's still a lot around if you look for it. Jorma's playing, Mavis Staples, Seva benefit, One From the Vault (Rez Foundation), Phil's 70th birthday, Richard Thompson, David Nelson's band, Mickey Hart at the Fillmore, Kreutzman's band at the Independent - more but I'm old now and my memory isn't very good:)

just read your comment under qsm "me" . you nailed in 3 sentences what ive been trying to express to myself , children, friends, and even the "fvil ones" . my eyes welled with tears at the unfortunate truth of your statement, but also pride in that they were naver able to"do about me" . we just got to keep movin on and put the love out there to be shared with and energize otherd for generations behind us . thank you joe b.

jimmatera- This is not the same 'me' that the children today are always crying. Listen to what they are saying, not what you hear. it was about ALL of us then. We were one. A concept that the youth of today does not have.

I bought the album, put the music n the visual together with my iBook n a video camera.

I figured that out, but where did you get the visual?

It's either the visualizer from iTunes or windows xp music player. I set the movie camera up at the screen. I did the same thing with a couple other of my videos. Check out Debra Allen vids.

There"s no Video unless in some dark room somewhere but i did see them in 1972 along with = The Chamber Brother and = The Turtles for $6.50 . And Trust me under some Orange Sunshine Acid it was one of the best concert i ever been. The crowd was blown away and were able to con the band into playing two more extra songs at the end.

When I was buying acid in the late 80's it was usually $5 a hit (not 4X, though). Likely not nearly as good as your's. Do you mean that it was actually Owsley's Sunshine?

The reason groups like this were so unique and great was they had jazz, folk, classical, early rock n roll and blues background influences. What hope is there for young musicians today to be innovative when there influences are Blink 182 and Nickleback. It's sick. As a musician myself I'm so glad I have so many great bands to influence my playing like QMS. Check out the "Love is the Song We Sing" box set. It's amazing how many fantastic bands came out of San Fran.

what are we watching? This looks a lot like a video feedback effect I used in the early '80's, only a bit different! Can anybody answer? I simply aimed a VHS camera at my TV while wired up to see what I was recording and got all these fantasticly psychedelic images! I wonder if this is the digital version of the same effect principal?
leodemason 2 years ago
I used my HP laptop for this effect. I believe they call it a "skin" effect in the Windoz OS. Not as clear and free flowing as the effects on my Debra Allen's "Delta Dreamland Video" that I made on my iBook and used the "visualizer in iTunes".

i believe this was on their 1970 album "What About Me", not on the "Happy Trails" live album (which is what i think you meant by "Who Do You Love album"). although both albums are indeed pretty awesome.
is this not right? i don't know much about the band so someone please tell me if i'm wrong...

I went to the 40th anniversary of the Summer Of Love at Monterey july 2007. And one of the main reasons was some of the members of QSMS were going to perform there right where they did 40 years earlier. I'm not familiar with all the names of the band members but I do know David Freiberg was one of the dudes on stage that great day. I took a picture of him and one of the other guitar players. They jammed! PEACE!

Delat... saw your post 10 hrs ago and thought I'd respond.. Yes life is fleeting and no matter what words are used to convey that to the young, it cannot be realized until it has sped past you (I'm 60). This has always been one of my favorites. I was in S.F. 65-68, & I heard ALL the bands that played Filmore. I wonder why this song hasn't been picked-up now by the young as the lyrics still hold true today as they did then..and even more!!! Be Well In Life and enjoy every minute of it.. :)
