2021 anyone else still listening to this great band?
Me .. i enjoyed them way back at the long municipal auditorium in the early 70s. Love this song.
Fuck yeah, bro!!!
Same 🤟🏽
2022. I live in Brazil and listen QMS always.
All ways
Man I still get CHILLS when I hear this ....I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I am 67 yrs old bring it on man!!!
65 and still lovin this song in 2022.
@@debsterish Same here!
@@debsterish Any idea as to where to buy the video of this concert?
Thank you
I'm 74 and still listen to this great song.
70 and still gotta hear it now and then.
One of the most under appreciated bands ever. They literally defined the California sound. My generation had the greatest music.
I was one of the camera operators that shot this! I worked for Bill for 11 years… best time of my life…
I'm so glad they saved these. I'm guessing this was 2 inch? Tape was expensive back then.
Great work!
Lucky fella you are. ✌️😁
Awesome! What a unique experience.
How fortunate to see these and others from that time. One of my favorite performances of this song. Long jams and they were roaring.
Quicksilver were never so famous as other 60s bands...but those who know them, know they are one of the best🧡
HAPPY TRAILS
Yes sir!!!!!
Oh yeah!!! 16 at Lyon Share..., San Anselmo, CA
So right! I’m coming up to my 70th year and have been listening to their music from the start and they still blow me away!
I spent my high school years 67-70 in Fremont, CA, across the bay from SF. I definitely know and appreciated Quicksilver and other groups of the day like Moby Grape that may not have garnered national recognition.
Just lost a Vietnam brother..dedicated to him..freaking cancer..I have Cancer as well.Pray for us that suffered from Agent fucking orange..Thanks..His favorite song..Gonna miss him..
PRAYERS ABOUND MY FRIEND
I bet he's rockin with Dickie Betts and others now! We must stay good so we can see our bros again! I have one still alive that survived Vietnam.
@@peteshallcross787 marshal tucker band.
If you're a fan of Airplane, you're a fan of 60s psychedelic music; if you're a fan of Quicksilver, you're a connoisseur.
Michael Harvill why thank you, for you sir are a poet and a gentleman
Damn right brother!! Throw in Big Brother, The Doors & MC5 & you're an expert!!!
'Spirit' belongs in the group as well i think.
Love. ‘Em all
Nothing picks me up MORE!!!
Why QSM has been so forgetton doesn’t make sense to me
I have their album. Got it a looong time ago.
It's 2023 and I am STILL LISTENING ❤
2023. Summer. I still remember my summers in the 70's. They were freaking good! This song is still outstanding. No one can sing like this anymore...
I am hearing them for the first time and I am 73!!! Where was I ( or them) all these years?!!!
Better late than never!☯️❤️☮️
This is my favorite version of this song. The guitar tone and lead playing is just so perfect, like peak Santana. Classic tune.
Same here better than the record version.
I was introduced to QMS right out of high school in 75.Small mid west town,we had a Capitol Record plant.I went to work there and printed their LP's as they were on Capitol label.I learned to like them then.Always will.
QMS featured double leads and great musicians all around.
John Cipollina
One of the best ...RIP.
That's not Cipollina playing the lead on this song.
@@calnonhardy4002Who is it?
Gary Duncan
Give credit to where it's due. Songwriter and singer Chet Powers, a.k.a. Dino Valente, who also wrote the great 60's anthem "Let's Get Together", also known as "Get Together" and "Everybody Get Together" popularized by the Youngbloods, sold the rights to that song to pay for legal fees for getting caught SMOKING WEED and being thrown in prison for chrissakes.
@@calnonhardy4002 The second lead is John
Yes, for sure. 70 years young and still ROCKING!
found this song while going through my dads record collection!!! amazing!
I was at this concert! They were awesome!!! Wish I could relive nights like this!
Absolutely on re-living nights like this.
Yeah I was there also ! I wish I could remember all the shows I have seen !
i seen them at the park
Smoke a joint, put the album on the turntable, headphones and grove to good times past.
If you can remember it then you probably weren't there, lol. JK
One of the best songs to ever come out of that era. A haunting quality, a great guitar solo and a great piano solo, all in one song.
And a super expression of love through the lead vocal
You're right, it is haunting. Very emotional. The audience members were lucky to have been there.
Duncan & Cippolina. One of the best tandem guitar duos ever!
When I was a teenager in the early '70s QMS, the Dead, and the Airplane were my Holy Trinity of music. Once you're on that bus you are never really off, so to speak. Thanks for the ride!
A little younger than you are but I to have been on that bus for a good long while now....enjoyed and continue to enjoy every moment of it...have no intention of getting off the bus either.
@@jasonrogers469 : Check out "Blood Ceremony" latest album "Lord of Misrule". Despite the name, they are NOT death metal.
Bus is only just starting.we're 'd everybody go?
We're all bozos on this bus!!✌✌
I'm the same age. My triumvirate of San Francisco sounds was the Dead the airplane and it's a beautiful day. My favorite band over all at that time was the New Riders but for the Psychedelic San Francisco sound, dead airplane beautiful day.
The older I get the more I appreciate the raw sound of the 'psychedelic rock' from back in the day!!!!!!
Almost a year later, this performance still brings it all back to me. Those were the days!
I remember driving to work on crystal clear days in the mountains of Maine in the early 70s listening to this. Sweet memory.
Watched this a hundred times. Still makes me cry it’s sooooo good. Yes I’m old too!!!
What a song! What an era!
Sensational band....and Dino's voice was incredible!
Definitely
Brings back so many memories. My late husband enjoyed so many musical moments especially at the Fillmore East. Love this band and this song. From an old Jersey Gal.
My sister I'm so sorry for your loss. When I read your note I couldn't believe I read Fillmore East!!!! What a blast from the past. I know this for sure your husband isn't really past on, he just went to another plane and is waiting for you to join him there. Be well and safe, peace to you.
I feel bad that I forget just how amazing these boys were. Just f*ckin fierce, daring, innovative, disciplined jams at 211F.
Yeah I'm listening to it. I graduated in 1975 and I listen to it then too. LOL!
Same here and got my 22 yr old son into them. I even bought him a QMS tshirt!
God damn. What a great band and a great song. I remember listening to this during the peak of my trip and it was so awesome and amazing I was always grateful for this songs existence
Dino Valenti and John Cipallina and crew were so fantastic, I saw them regularly as a teenager in the late 60’s & early 70’s. I was lucky enough to go on a private cruise around the Bay, New Years Eve, early 80’s & Cipallina’s band played all night long.
those were good times
You are a lucky man
You were blessed. I was stuck in Southwestern Pennsylvania.
Yes doll
One of my favorites from 70's! Graduated in 77. Thought they were/are so tuff. Guess some of them left earth. They're still visible like this vid. Rock on 70's! 💕💛😘🌷
Gary Duncan is a friggin monster on that guitar, man. Him and John together....what a pair!
Amen brother, I agree with you. We will never see or hear anything as perfect as Gary and John again! Jim
You’ve got that right; double deluxe threat 🎸🎸🌹
Man I've been listening to this great band for years!
I was there in the front 10 feet from the stage.....just found this....made my day.
Pure F***ing hard driving and total ROCK!! QMS, so little fanfare, and flying underneath the radar of 70's great bands...This live version rocks me and reminds me that ROCK will FOREVER RULE.
Missed seeing these guys live, but have loved them for decades. Never understood why they weren't much bigger.
Rest in paradise, John Cipollina.
Simple genius - miss the good music of the 60's & 70's.
One of the greatest bands….not too many people know!
Loved this band..used to go to all their shows in 1971..out on the beach... windowpane. Wow !!!
I had the great pleasure and opportunity to see them in Berkeley in the late 60's and early 70's a number of times and they were always a great live band! Thanks for all the concerts in Peoples Park, Winterland, Pepperland & Fillmore West. It was a true experience!
I love this performance of fresh air.
At 71, I keep coming back to the glorious days of the Sixties and Seventies. There has been nothing like them since. QMS RULES!
Oh, to go back to those days just one more time! Just one more hour!
Great song then, great song now. The definitive San Francisco psychedelic sound.
Yes indeedie!
Now all you hear from San Francisco is the sound of the Poop Scoopers scraping human excrement off the sidewalks.
@@soozkoozhooz5902 good gawd...doubt you have ever been to san francisco, you just for some reason want to hate it
Lady BlackstarDust umm the definition is the greatful dead!! But these are also our friends! I Saw some of them live. And saw a lot of the gd... grew up with Carlos and grace in my neighborhood...
Oh yes, oh yes!
Best years of my life still love this band ❤️
73 and still rolling
2023 here and forever. Thanks to my mom for getting me into this kind of music at an early age. b1983
Gary Duncan....RIP....the riffs were so awesome!!!!!.....Live or Studio, incredible sounds!!!!!!!
Saw them many times. And I was high as the band..How great it was to live with freedom of soul.
Gary Duncan; so darn fantastic!!
💗💗💗
Man These Cats Jammed, I Miss These Old Bands Of The 60s & 70s..... Real Driving Music!
Pot was cheap too.
you could sniff a lil' coke and smack -- uptown 'n' downtown -- and get real nice and nobody immediately slammed you and your family into therapy.
Man Tell Me About It!....LOL!
These "Cats", as you know Derrick, helped define an era and a scene in that magnificent city: San Fran. Unfortunately, not widely known.
bullshit dude ..... we was jammin our asses off to these guys down here in the south also, hell i would go without eating to save up to buy thier albums, ... and wear the damn things out when i got em, and i got permanant hearing loss to prove it lol
My husband and his friends turned me on to Quicksilver about 40 years ago when I was in my early 20s. Still one of our favorite bands, the music from the late 60s and 70s is still the best.
John Cipollina is just friggin AWESOME!! Greatest guitarist nobody talks about anymore!! (But I can't forget Gary Duncan...who was also a TREMENDOUS player and was so vital to the signature Quicksilver sound!!)
Gary Duncan is still tremendous.
You are absolutely correct--he's alive and well and still great!!
John’s tone is wonderful. Dino wrote some really great songs. That’s why artists like Richie Havens did great interpretations of their songs. Thanks for posting.
He had Cobra for a time.Best friggin'g ever.My fav forever.Did not like Dino much.Too big ego.But Johnny,a true virtuoso.
nyterpfan Yes indeed 🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍
I'm 66 and bought a QMS shirt this year! This group reminds me of my teenage years and all the friends who shared the fun of listening with me are all gone. Dec 21, 2023 and still diggin it!
RIP to your friends 💔. May I ask where you bought your QMS shirt?
@@peppercat8718 Thanks, Peppercat, I don't know if my response will reach you, something weird about RUclips but if it does please respond back. I just googled QMS tshirts and the one I picked is black with red lettering. It looks sharp on this 67 yr old rocker in Wisconsin, lol!
@@peppercat8718 👍
@@peppercat8718Thanks, peppercat. I just got my computer working again. I googled QMS tshirts and picked out the one I liked, red lettering on a black shirt.
@@peppercat8718 My laptop went down. I just got a new one tonight. I googled QMS t-shirts and ordered the black shirt with red lettering on it, really sharp. QMS and Spirit are 2 of the most underrated band of that era. Cheers!
One of the greats. There music is timeless.
I saw this fabulous group in the 70's at the old Kiel auditorium, in St.Louis. I will never forget the ecperience.
Defining an era….loved them.
Been a huge fan of Quicksilver Messenger Service since their first album. Saw them live in Cincinnati. 😎✌🏽☮️🎸
Man what a bad ass guitarist. I remember this 50 years ago. Thanks for the memories.
We loved this band, and Jefferson Airplane, back in the day at Kent State.
Living on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, made possible to see many national and International touring bands. QuickSilver were so frequently doing live shows all throughout the years of their hay days. I always, so enjoyed, their unique brand to melodies, and being a professional musician from 1963 till today, I still enjoy their sound.
I was 15, and saw them at the Kona bar, Big Island Hawaii ❤❤❤
By far, the best live performance I have ever seen from anybody
One of the most under appreciated west coast rockers ever, way way before their time!
Still cool after all these years.
Smoothest lead guitar in history John Cipollina!
2023 still love it
When I first heard "Pride of Man", i was hooked. One of the bay's kick-ass band.
Wish this band stayed together longer. I love their sound.!!
Never heard of these guys! Me the child of 70's rock n roll!! Theyre good. And i just saw a video of Styx playing at Winterland the same year
Awesome guitar performance by Gary Duncan!
OMG! LOVED THEM SO MUCH.Gold & Silver,Who do you love,Johnny Cippolina. God,must have seen them twenty times.The personification of the San Francisco sound.Simply the best.Good Times in the City.Miss those days.✌✌✌
Hello everyone! I discovered this band and music about half a year ago. This music is so heavenly that even bad adversities are forgotten and the beauty of life comes to the fore. Thanks to you band members for this really great music. ❤❤❤
I loved this group so much. Wish I could see them live again
Great song. From a better era.
Some Groups come some fade or get old. The Quicksilver Messenger service albums never seem to lose their luster.
One of the best songs ever! I think it would still chart!
MAN IM GETTIN COLD CHILLS from this talk about being taken back in time, i was a 15 year old Bass Player in a Rock Band. Really takes me back, I owe them allot for getting into a long music carrer
Probably my favourite US Rock band of that era. Amazing Chemistry between John and Gary on guitars.
This is some of the best , what a super all around mix of guitar , drums , organ and great vocals.They had it all , so under appreciated !
Me ...now August 2022.
I was a senior in high school in 1975. Will turn 65 in October. Senior citizen.
Lol 😍😍😍
One of the BEST LEADS I have heard. Verry underrated for sure.
Not so underrated. They were the "go-to" band in the Bay area along with the Airplane and Grateful Dead.
DONT FORGET MOBY GRAPE!!!
@@wsnone9934 robutussin and elderberry wine
MAKES YA FEEL SO FINE!
Imagine being as good a guitarist as Duncan, one of the best, and having to play second fiddle to Cipollina, one of the greats. I have nothing but the greatest respect for Duncan.
I was at this concert . Was one of the best I ever saw
fantastic guitar playing, beautiful tone and style.
Cippolina was my hero. Saw them in some small clubs-(Golden Bear)- on PCH. This was about '68-'69. Just great!
I love this singer's vocals. So soulful.
The real deal,this was and is REAL music!!!😉
Still a great song so many decades after.
I saw Quicksilver at the Commack Arena on Long Island about 1973 with Jonathan Edwards. Never got the respect or acknowledgement they deserved. Here I am 2021 listening to this great tune !
quicksilver rocked with the best of em back in the day and it's still great listening to these guys in 2017 and beyond
Now boys and girls this is a true blast from the past! Hit out local rock transmitter in '70, trouble was it was AM ick! Then I discovered rock radio WPHD FM Buffalo, NY, and as they say the rest is history! Managed to save enough from my partime job to get a real old FM tuner for my sound system and thought I had the world in palm of my hand. I mean 24-7 rock in well sort of stereo didn't get better than that! Made getting thru high school a lot less painful to say the least, didn't hurt getting thru of Enginneering School either. For some reason calculus, physics and linear circuits didn't hurt as much a 3:00 am with this type of stuff to listen to! Bell well and safe, peaceto you and yours.
Quicksilver Messenger Service is an Awesome Group,saw them many times back in the Day! Dino,had an awesome voice!!!!!!
Michael Gaynor You may not have cared for Dino's voice, but he was a tremendous writer.
***** ,I do not know if you read my comment right. I Loved His Voice,and his voice rocked the house along with the Band!
I've read a good few times where liking Dino's voice was or is an "acquired taste". Maybe so but not so for me. I remember being 12 or 13 years old when my aunt's then boyfriend put the studio version of Fresh Air on the stereo and I was instantly captivated. Here was a guy who was not maybe a "technical" singer but had a unique sound to his voice and he not only knew it but knew how to use it. Probably his best talent though was writing songs that matched his voice perfectly....sadly missed.
@@jasonrogers469 I'm with you
@@jasonrogers469 couldn't agree more.
I remember hearing them on the radio and seeing their albums at the stores, great guitars.
When I was in the army in Germany in 1968 introduced to this band by a friend of mine and I fell in love through music ever since
Who needs the internet when you can entertain yourself like this??? I'm glad that this was my time.
James Sommer
Hell yes!
James Sommer how young are you? I was born in 1960 in a dive called Newark CA I could see down town SF from my west window took some of the most beautiful color sunset photos but if you missed a concert you never got to see it again. Oh someone in the band filmed them but we didn't get to see archived concerts untill MTV.. that's when all us old folks answered the MTV call for old filmed concert, then suddenly Cable decided to go all digital so as things progress it really got better. You're happy to be alive right here right now? Me too but I am glad I went to concerts back then and lived all these decades to hear music for the absolute joy of just hearing it the way it makes me feel......
Brought to you on the internet
Yes who needs the internet when you got the internet
What kind of drugs are you abusing?
HAVE ANOTHER HIT!
Yes I do believe I will!
I still love this band.
I was at this concert. I was 22. I didn't mind working when I had a concert to look forward too. These guys were great
.
Amazing band!
I been listening to them for 60 years
I hope another 60 by goodness gracious!
Say hey God bless y'all!!!
Never had the pleasure of seeing them LIVE but I liked them from the moment I was introduced to them back in the early 70's.
Brings back memories of high school dances when we had live bands who would blast these songs.
what an awesome song. I was fortunate enough to see them live in SF, WAY back in the day, without Dino. just the simple four piece band. still love them today.
Just discovered this band 25 years old .lets keep this alive
