Great version! A rare 1st LP studio outtake, Quicksilver Messenger Service performing Dino's Song. Good sound quality on this one, source is supposedly a first generation tape from John Cipollina's private collection. Who knows, could be true...
Video from "West Pole", which belongs in any serious fan's collection.

True concert footage of Quicksilver Messenger Service remains rare, and any hardcore fan of the band will want to get the limited edition 3 DVD set "Recoil" which includes never before seen video (seen by me anyway) of Quicksilver Messenger Service live in concert! A truly bitchin' extended psychedelic version of Who Do You Love is my personal fave! Watching the duel lead guitars of John Cipollina and Gary Duncan is something to see!
anyway, get "Recoil" here while it's still available

Glad to not see Dino!!! ;)

Great stuff. VERY interesting. I was intrigued by the producer's use of a B3 Hammond drifting in and out early in the track, as well as the psych noise at the end. Saw these guys in Philly prior to fist LP release. Extremely memorable- that was.

I live in Melbourne, Australia, was born in 1971 and have an ever growing fascination with the 60's that has been happening all of my life. I'd not got around to listening to this band or heard of John Cipollina before. I am going to check out more QSM tracks after posting this comment.
I envy everyone who was around at the time and able to check out the 60's bands/artists when they were performing in the 60's. You had it good. You had it oh so good. Darnit lol.

yeah, great vid too

@aurora1957A Quicksilver would rearrange their songs they played every few months, always testing now ground. They were never repetitive always progressing with their sound. They were king of the San Francisco jam bands. Bill Graham used to announce them as “Charter Members & the Grandfather of the San Francisco Sound. I was hooked 1st time I saw them & still am.

A perfect anthem for that period, even a bit of a precursor to women's power that was right around the corner. Great memories of hearing them in the outdoor Be-Ins of the era, dancing in front of the stage.

Oh how I miss those days.....

I saw this on a KQED special on the San Francisco sound back in '67 before QMS 1st album was released. I lived in Palo Alto & went to the city (SF) to see the Quicksilver Messenger Service almost every weekend from the summer of '66 through 1970.

@TheQuicksilverdog
Good to see you back!
IMHO this version really showcases Cipollina's skill!

Thanks for posting this. I like it a lot, the effects are cool. Sounds a bit like Steve Miller band of '68, tho of course vice versa and MUCH better. Quicksilver was the the best!
