  • Duncan was essential to QMS, his interplay with Cippolina was alchemical music magic. He's easily the most underrated guitar player of the era, equally at home on rhythm or lead. How'd YOU like to try and play with John Cippolina!!?? And the term "carried on" without Cippolina is accurate: the band was very different, more of a backing ensemble for Dino Valente's wailings. I saw them dozens of times from '65-72 and all the die-hard QMS fans HATED Dino Valente for what he did to the music.

  • All the members of QMS were great, but if John Cipollina was not there in the 60's, there wouldn't have been a Quicksilver Messenger Service as we know them. Mean no disrespect to any of them, they were all my favorites. The dual lead guitar work was the best of the best. Ducan & Cipollina complimented each other. No one had done the dual guitar work they did.

  • please stop !

  • This is awful. My friends and I play this better than these leftovers.

  • i HAVEN'T looked through all of this, but is there a date on this video? I love the audience response.....

  • Man, if that was Gary Duncan on guitar - I'm sad. :(

  • I love the sound! I hope to see them live someday.

  • I had a QMS album once and I don't recognize the cover from any of these that are up on you tube. It had "Never Been To Spain" on it and a bunch of other cool stuff that I'd never heard before. The sound was more country ballad rhythm&blues type and I like it a lot better than any of these. Can anybody help me out and put up the tunes from that album?

  • They all sounded great on the vinyl.

    I'll treasure my QMS albums for all times, especially the 1st 2.

    I would have loved to have seen them do " The Fool ."

    Sorry to hear about them not getting along , but that's kind of what happens in most bands.Somebody has to have the big EGO.

  • Cipollina & Freiburg & Nicky Hopkins all quit QMS to get away from Dino.

  • Bdinoc sounds just like me & everyone

    I ever knew or met from there & then who saw them in Action as much as we did about how good Duncan was.

    He sure wasn't underrated with us.

    And how HATED dino was for what his wailings & ego & act did to the music that then lead to Cippolina's Guitar!! & soon after David's Vocals & Bass to leave away from dino.

    Duncan was essential.

    That's why to get him back they took dino with the deal, the only reason he got in.

    We loved QMS Hated dino's act
