Howlin Wolf would be DAMN PROUD of this version. Man....Duncan, Cipollina, Frieberg and Greg Elmore were on FIRE this night, Holy shit. You can tell it was LOUD as hell too.
DON"T DRINK OUT OF THAT BOTTLE OF WINE BEING PASSED AROUND AT CONCERTS BACK THEN. If you took a long hard pull of that bottle early in this song you would be flying high when CIP got into a long guitar solo. Next thing you know the concert is over and you are wandering around San Francisco looking for a place to crash.......WHAT A TIME BACK THEN.................! ( :
Or wake up on the top of some hill in a Bay Area park and not remember the concert OR how you got on top of that hill! And who's this chick???? And WHERE"S my CAR!?!? WHERE THE F**K AM I?!?! LMAO!!!
Didn't see Quicksilver live until 69/70. First guitar player to pop me out of my crown Chakra. Both me and Jerry Garcia loved John. Jerry jamming with John... now that's something.
I really enjoyed QMS in this period, Happy Trails etc. before Dino rejoined the band. I think Dino was a good singer and songwriter but I'm a guitar player and I was 12yrs old when this was happening and I was inspired by it.🙏😷🎵🎶❗👀
Music from the depths ... and the skies.... and the heavens . simultaneously. I cannot believe this sound and I've listened to Mozart, Tchaikovsky Beefheart Zappa. I love it.
Duncan did much more than back up Cips. Many of the lead lines are Duncan's. He is at least as great a master as Cips, and played other instruments as well as guitar at various times. My point is how do they make two guitars and a bass sound like a whole orchestra *smile*
@@keltiawind21 I always thought Gary Duncan was the better of the 2 guitarists. JC was great for the sound effects, the moaning guitars, the wah pedal effects, and certainly the visual effect of him on stage. But for virtuosity, Gary Duncan had few peers. And both JC and GD fingerpicked their guitars (with finger picks) with Duncan using a huge Gibson Super 400 jazz guitar.
Oh,... Que buena música, la edad dorada del rock... 68 prodigiosa época, músicos talentosos, Cippolina, Duncan & cía regalandonos un rock blues licergico... Para aquellos melomanos de verdad, el tema original es del prodigioso Woolin Wolf... Long Live rock......!!
Чтобы создать свой отличительный гитарный звук, Чиполлина разработал уникальный стек усилителей. Его гитары Gibson SG имели два звукоснимателя, один для баса и один для высоких частот. Басовый звукосниматель подается на два басовых усилителя Standel в нижней части стека, каждый из которых оснащен двумя 15-дюймовыми динамиками. Высокие звукосниматели питали два усилителя Fender: Fender Twin Reverb и Fender Dual Showman, который управлял шестью валторнами Wurlitzer.
Amazing band, one of the best, and harder than Grateful Dead, and few could match those 2 guitarists. God bless Gary and John and the others TOO. Wish I could see them live today, but I did see them at the Fillmore West in 1970 , just. young fellow on the loose, I think they were one of the best live bands of that era and that includes England and America.thank god we have these you tube videos, though much was lost.
Darryl Nelson got together there. Greg Elmore is from Atwater in Merced county. I went to high school with him. Gary Duncan was born in San Diego and lived in Merced about seven miles from Atwater. You can claim Dino if you want.
Thank you for posting these great jams turned on turned up and easy. I grew up on AM radio but lived in the bay area and seen them all and QMS, has the best grooves.
Yes, that's where his unique fusion of classical, flamenco, from grandad, and then added in the rock/blues - what a voice! I grew up here in SF, too, these guys were my faves!
@@gtrjay55 Gary was also great, he and John had totally different styles but somehow blended well together. If you think about it, John practically never was the only guitarist in any of the bands he played with. He seemed to have a knack for finding players who complemented his style, like Gary Duncan in Quicksilver, Gary Philippet in Copperhead, Greg Douglass in Terry and the Pirates, Steve Kimock in Zero, Nick Gravenites, Barry Melton and probably some more.
these guys saw all the other bands getting record contracts and going into debt. As they were doing fine on cash just playing live they didn't put out any records until late in the bands life. didn't want the BS associated with contracts & record co.'s. They we're almost always headliners when they played. Too if the heap, as it were.
This is the same version of Smokestack Lightning as on the Winterland November 1968 (Live) album. However it's slowed down on the Winterland album and is 15 mins long. So I wonder if this is sped up or the Winterland November 1968 (Live) album is slowed down?
i dont think they were better than the dead ,just different, i love them both, those two bands really are the most developed of the SF acid rock groups and along with the elevators ,sort of, the most purest psychedelic rock bands of the 60 s
+ Yareth Lou -- qms and the dead were friends ( he Quick and the Dead, lol) ... but in early days when touring, the dead opened and qms headlined -- so public opinion was with you :)
Accordion to sum, twas the guitar of Michael Bloomfield w/ Paul Butterfield that split the blues guitar atom into a billion rotating pulsating arabesque hyper sonic cosmic blues fractals,which no doubt caught the ears of Garcia, Kaukonen, Barry Melton, Gary Duncan et al. John Cipollina had that sound that like Jerry Garcia said " got imprinted on my DNA"
Apocalypse 7, alias le dévoilement du 7ème sceau ... .... " Amen! La louange, la gloire, la sagesse, l'action de grâces, l'honneur, la puissance et la force soient à notre Dieu, pour les siècles des siècles! " 13 Alors un des vieillards, prenant la parole me dit: " Ceux que tu vois revêtus de ces robes blanches qui sont-ils, et d'où sont-ils venus? " 14 Je lui dis: " Mon Seigneur, vous le savez. " Et il lui dit " Ce sont ceux qui viennent de la grande tribulation; ils ont lavé leurs robes et les ont blanchies dans le sang de l'Agneau. 15 C'est pour cela qu'ils sont devant le trône de Dieu et le servent jour et nuit dans son sanctuaire. Et Celui qui est assis sur le trône les abritera sous sa tente; ils n'auront plus faim, ils n'auront plus soif; 16 l'ardeur du soleil ne les accablera plus, ni aucune chaleur brûlante; 17 car l'Agneau qui est au milieu du trône sera le pasteur et les conduira aux sources des eaux de la vie, et Dieu essuiera toute larme de leurs yeux.

This was a great live band!!!!!!!!!!1
i bet
wish i was there

They ruled the Avalon & Fillmore, this was suppose to be on "Happy Trials" but not enough room LOL.
@@TheQuicksilverdog A double album or Vol 2 . Did you notice on Happy Trails they had Vol 1

Back when every experience was a new experience. When things were freer and spontaneous. ✌️
Oh the memories a time of pure magic.
What a kickass version , these guys were on this night.
Thank you Joan Elkins.

This music must be in the afterlife. Don't you think. If it isn't I'm comin' back to my vinyl collection and my turntable! God this is fantastic!
+steve elliot
Personally, I'm playing it safe and gonna listen to it twice.
Just in case.
@@paull2815maybe even three times :)
Love z2 guitar from Gary and John this band so underrated such a great jam so tight
Music from the depths ... and the skies.... and the heavens . simultaneously.

I love it.
doesn't get much closer to Ultimate Paradise, does it
✌️🇯🇲 Far Out Man, that summarization made me laugh. -God Bless
How do they manage to sound like fifty instruments at one time... and live (no overdubbing)..... and those train sound effects, unbelievable
Answer: John Cippolina on the guitar, finger-picked every song (I believe) and backed up by guitarist Gary Duncan
Duncan did much more than back up Cips. Many of the lead lines are Duncan's. He is at least as great a master as Cips, and played other instruments as well as guitar at various times. My point is how do they make two guitars and a bass sound like a whole orchestra *smile*
That is GARY Duncan singing the lead vocals. He had the true voice of a real blluesman. Even as young as he was when this was recorded.

Wow! Takes the Blues to whole nother place!

Good to have the Feeling again and again.
Great recordings, thanks! No need for video, I see it in my mind!
Cool to have such Classic talent from my home town, Mill Valley , Ca ! Have Another Hit was a big hit for them, in Viet~Nam days.
you mean Fresh Air from the Just for Love album
Miraculous Marin county what a gift!!
Truly Magic they were!!
Darryl Nelson got together there. Greg Elmore is from Atwater in Merced county. I went to high school with him. Gary Duncan was born in San Diego and lived in Merced about seven miles from Atwater. You can claim Dino if you want.
love their version-it rocks
another great song of QMS...I love it
Thank you for posting these great jams turned on turned up and easy.
I grew up on AM radio but lived in the bay area and seen them all and QMS, has the best grooves.
KSAN jive 95
I guess it is pretty randomly asking but does anyone know a good site to stream new movies online?
@Grady Braylen Try Flixportal. You can find it by googling =)
@Layton Leo Thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I really appreciate it!!
@Grady Braylen you are welcome xD
No other band ever came close to what these guys did. Why bother with words. Enjoy the ride.
~never heard this one, thanks....
Only saw Quicksilver one time. Very intimate setting, maybe a hundred people.
Cipollina RIP.
Great sound guitar!
i want more of that
very clean work
No disrespect to Jack and Jorma , Jerry, and the others. Love them too.
The power and the glory of QMS
Whooooaaaaah! Thanks
Serendipity brought me here. Thanks to the gods of acid rock.
aah that's the stuff
CIPOLLINA...one of a kind
They put a lot of the audience on a groovy trip if you know what I mean.
Happy Trails . . .
Loaded as brother
John Cipollina was a genius I think, especially with his grandfathers teaching him Spanish Classical, I think anyhow.
Yes, that's where his unique fusion of classical, flamenco, from grandad, and then added in the rock/blues - what a voice! I grew up here in SF, too, these guys were my faves!
Agreed with cravinbob, John as the amazing difference, altho the others were pretty damned good too!
why am I just hearing this for the first time?
R Ewing because you didn't grow up in Central California or the Bay Area would be my guess.
The Genius on guitar was Gary Duncan !!
Gary and Johns interplay is when the magic really happens. That's how 2gtrs.should work. Wished I could have been there, 12yrs old at the time.Thanks.

@@j.l.hennig4339 Oh yeah, a real creative blend of two guitarists can be a rarity. Do you know if Gary is still out and about?
@@gtrjay55 Sadly, Gary passed away in 2019. From what I've heard, he had been active with a new version of Quicksilver during the last years.
@@j.l.hennig4339 Sad to hear, thanks for letting me know. Rock on.
Wow saw them live when have another hit of fresh air, sounding nothing as great as SSLIGHT😅😊

is it one chord?

Like God intended it.
Shoulda ended it at 2:56
Cippollina is a god
Who is singing?
Gary.
рубят норм
They obliterated this song howlin who? As far as im concerned qms needed that
CAVALRY…… CAVALRY. CAVALRY. not Calvary, ffs
The song on Happy Trails WAS Calvary. Look at the LP.
