Quicksilver Messenger Service - Freeway Flyer - Live Audio

New Years Eve 1970

Hard to sit still to this one

I'm a freeway flyer and I'm down on the floor,
I keep on gettin' high, wonderin' how high can one man go?
Well, I'm a dangerous stranger, I'm a psychedelic ranger,
Now there's no place that I can't go, no no no, baby, no no no.
I'm a freeway wrestler, I keep it to the floor,
I'm an old poor guitar hassler, and I can always get my way back home anywhere,
Well, I'm a six-string rangler, I'm a traffic strangler,
And now there's no place that I can't go, no no no, babe, no no no.
I'm a little girl pleaser, I always get my way,
I'm an old sweet thing teaser, I'm gonna die and go to Hell some day,
Well, I'm a meat grinder, sweet spot foot ___ I gotta roll that the bank can't cash.

@TheQuicksilverdog Saw em in Ann Arbor, Michigan 1971 and then in south Florida. Great time

Nothing better then being in front of the stage when the Quicksilver Messenger Service where playing. I spent almost every weekend there from '66 till 1970. They were the best jam band in San Francisco in the 60's.

I've caught up...yep Canned Heat were the greatest, QMS the second ( then maybe the Airplane?)

[NickeyPetersen]

[MinniMoose11]

I do believe this must be the greatest rock and roll song I've ever heard....and I thought Canned Heat was the best band until now..

the last line of the song is:

well, I'm a meat grinder, sweet spot finder, got a roll that the bank can't cash.
