Unreal, the 60swere awesome! I grew up in the 80s but I really appreciate the 60s music and culture. This reminds me of summers in the late 80s when I used to ride my bike down Chicago's lakefront path all the time. Had a POS old Walkman and cassettes. But I enjoyed much "greener" days back then, if you dig my drift.

What a great band.

[Whatwoc1]

I saw them , probably in 1971 , I think in Boca Raton Florida, maybe West Palm Beach..

[ernest ullrich]

you asked what I think. Sorry I can't think. So I guess it's good.

[Templar451]

I love that his voice is SPOT ON. The singing without auto-tune, the instrument work without over tracking.....  I feel sorry for kids today. So few good choices out there now.

[Steve Lee]

Wow. So animal. So raw. Almost makes ya wanna forget what ya know and just BUST LOOSE! More and more, there's no room for such freedom. I'm just sayin'....

[lee zarnke]

THE SINGER LOOKS LIKE THE HEAD SINGER FOR THE FOOFIGHTERS

Dino Valente was the founder of Quicksilver Messenger Service, but on first two album he's absent 'cause he was in prison. Anyway, amazing band...

[Edward Syrett]

I guess John Cippolina had left the band by this time. It was great to hear him and Gary Duncan trading leads back in the day. On this one we have Dino Valenti singing lead. He's a better singer than any of the prior QMS members, and wrote some good songs too.

Nice to see the performance even if the audio is compressed
