Our Take

Prepare to be transported back in time with Quicksilver Messenger Service's Live In San Jose - September 1966. This album captures the raw, unbridled energy of the band's early performances, showcasing their unique blend of psychedelic rock and blues.

The opening track, "Pride of Man," sets the tone for the rest of the album, with its haunting vocals and hypnotic guitar riffs. The band's chemistry is palpable throughout the live recording, as they effortlessly weave in and out of each other's musical landscapes.

Tracks like "Dino's Song" and "Gold and Silver" showcase the band's improvisational skills, with extended jams that will have you grooving along in no time. The live setting truly brings out the best in Quicksilver Messenger Service, as they feed off the energy of the crowd and let loose on their instruments.

But it's not all high energy jams - the album also features quieter moments, such as the ethereal "The Fool," which showcases the band's ability to create dreamy, atmospheric soundscapes.

Overall, Live In San Jose - September 1966 is a must-listen for any fan of psychedelic rock. Quicksilver Messenger Service's live performances are truly something to behold, and this album captures the magic of their early days in all its glory. Don't miss out on this trippy time capsule of a record.

About the artist

Quicksilver Messenger Service

Quicksilver Messenger Service aren't just a band, they're a time machine. These psychedelic pioneers have been bending minds and melting faces since the 1960s, and they're still going strong today. With their complex, improvisational jams and mind-bending lyrics, Quicksilver have always been ahead of their time. Formed in San Francisco in 1965, Quicksilver Messenger Service quickly became a cornerstone of the city's vibrant psychedelic scene. With their mind-bending live performances and groundbreaking albums like "Happy Trails" and "Just for Love," they helped define the sound of the era. Quicksilver are known for their elaborate, guitar-driven jams that can go on for days. With the dual guitar attack of John Cipollina and Gary Duncan leading the charge, the band's sound is a swirling mix of jazz, blues, and good old-fashioned rock 'n' roll. But it's not just their music that sets Quicksilver apart. These guys were true pioneers of the hippie philosophy, with their laid-back attitude and commitment to peace, love, and good vibes. Plus, their fashion sense is second to none – who else could pull off paisley bell bottoms and tie-dye like these guys? Over the years, Quicksilver Messenger Service have weathered breakups, reunions, and everything in between. But through it all, they've remained true to their unique sound and vision. So whether you're a hardcore fan or a casual listener, one thing's for sure – Quicksilver Messenger Service are a band like no other. Pack your bags, hop on the magic bus, and take a trip with these psychedelic legends.
