This is my first time ever hearing this band. My boyfriend is older than me and put this on for me today. He also introduced me to a band Lynrd Skynyrd...wow I'm having one of the best summers of my life ! I love reading these stories from people about their history with this music aswell, thank you for sharing.

Rightous

I used to see QMS and others at the Family Dog on the Great Highway. Back in the late 80's I visited family back East and went to the R&R Hall of fame. Saw John's Stack With the Horns atop displayed and almost cried Oh those memories!

Were a member of the Merry Pranksters...trip on

66 and definitely not 'straight' but always looking for music on KZfaq. The Quick were masterful at covering & stretching old blues/rock tunes. RIP John Cippolina. Stay safe buddy

I agree thanks happy trails to you too

It's Max Headroom, but I don't know how to take it? Is all acid or LSD or Purple Haze, the sane thing? Just got through coming off some purple 💜 haze about 50 or so many years. Will you please help me down. I'll reciprocate any ways possible. ☮️ Peace Love, Haight Ashbury.

Agree! It still plays in my head a few times a week decades after I last played the LP.

"One of...." ? yeah I think so :)

How did rick beato miss that ? I ve posted

those were the days.youngster

That my friend is a fact!

true!

Can I git uh aaaaaaaa maaaan nuh ....hallelu YAAAAAAAHHHH

Listened to this on 800 mcg. of Owsleys best. Cannot be described w/words. You had to be there. Thanks for posting. Haven't heard it in yrs.

Pure music, no sidebars into distortion(torture), just pure orgpanized music. One of the few albums of mine d++×head bro didnt trade off for pot while I was away in the Army. An often overlooked masterpiece.

Me too…along with The Chatlatans 🎶🎵🎶

Back in the days riding out in the country smoking weed mud riding the perfect road riding music.

Same here Chief Go to tune 🥰

I saw them in 73 ,at the Commadore Ballroom,in Vancouver,B.C.

I made it to all their performances at THE AVALON in 1968, greatest times.

+spacedoutcowboy Smells like patchouli for sure

MacFeeley smell like sausage stuck up your nazi ass for sure

Smoked a lot of weed listening to this,gave up the drugs,still listening to who do you love.it never gets old..

blew a few minds, huh?

You are sooooo right.

I always thought that QMS was was a extremely funky band !! a little bit cooler than Grateful Dead almost as cool as WAR,Yeah Mon !!Miss them .wasn't Freiberg in QMS and later on he was in Jefferson Airplane!

I used it for a movie plus on the flip side you have a tremendous version of another Bo classic “Mona”

@@fisheyemedia6849absolutely love their version of “Mona”. Gary Duncan has an amazing, voice; sings with strait up conviction.😅

@@tamwharton398 He was on the last Airplane Album and was an original member of Jefferson Starship playing with them for 11 years

Right there with you man..

1968 so 52 years and half ton of weed and the song remains the same 😜🌮

Ha, you guys trip me out!! My uncle gave me this 8 track tape along with Neil Young - Everybody Knows; Jimi Hendrix - Rainbow Bridge; and one other I can't even remember, so must not have been that good. But he told me, boy, these are gonna be big hits. lolol I've loved them all since 69.. and that was some cool hip shit for the hillbilly state of West Virginia back in the day... shit, still is, wtf, yeah 😂😂😂

My brother sent his record collection home from being stationed in Germany during the vietnam war, me, his 15 year old brother listened to it and the rest is pretty hazy.

@@sjstone7337 I wanna see the list of them

If you remember the 60's you weren't there.

@@anton1949 ~ You're delusional.

You're not the only one!

Based

Psychedelic really doesn't "get it" for the music these kids could make. Really it's in a whole realm of it's own. This is raw hormones/pheremones music. Straight to the reptile-brain stuff.

Smoked alot of lebonese hashish wearing out this piece of vinyl

@@derrickblackwood8852 Every head back then had this lp....lol

@@derrickblackwood8852 with swirls of opium blended in it...dreams exotica!

more psychedelic's on side two . The entire band was on Acid and half the crowd too

The tremolo on the lead guitar is trademark.

You and me both. Saw them at the Filmore East in '68. Unforgettable.

I’m so veryy jealous of the both of you! So darn lucky, me,,,born too late but love their music

@@KittyGrizGriz One of the few advantages of being old. 😄 Luckily they left us some good recordings.

Drummer far too heavy 😂

@@wolfliou3678 He doesn't miss a beat, even when there isn't any (haha); at very end one can hear his hands drop to drum-set; bet he was somewhat fatigued.

And his singing voice, he’s fantastic 😅

John Cipollina is playing lead here. Gary plays the rhythm part until his solo after the song later breaks down into the minor key jam, then when it breaks again into the freeform jam, Cipollina resumes the solo-ing and continues on out when the song kicks back into the "Who Do You Love " riff, then at around 18 minutes Freiberg takes a solo on his bass. When guitars return after the 20 minute mark, Cippolina resumes solos to the end. Not trying to be a wise guy, it's kinda easy to tell because of the unique, slightly jittery style of John's "Vibrola" use... ...and Gary didn't have/use a trem here. Gary's guitar is also richer and more full sounding than John's typically thin tone with his SG Standard and bizarre home-brew rigs.. Gary was playing that big jazz hollow body, "Trini Lopez Custom", around this time and it sounds like what he's using here.

I’ve asked this question before but got no answer; who did the albums artwork? Anybody know? It reminds me of Frederic Sackrider Remington (a fav of mine).

check out tarintino's new film centers around los angeles 1968

Thanks to Bo Diddly.

Valenti ruined the band

Totally underrated, Cipollina was a totally great guitarist w/roots in classical guitar=a fine family of musicians to Spanish Classics.

cseanz a

Thanks for your service, gentlemen. I was and am in your debt. Free to be who i wanna be.

Welcome home brother, same-same: 11 Bravo.

For the first month I was back in the world i sat stoned in my basement apt, with the curtains drawn, in day and night darkness, listening to this, as well as Zep and Hendrix. I was living on Ring-Dings and milk and when I was able to sleep I was having real bad dreams. The only thing that saved my ass was going back to my old employer who rehired me. That , and pretending (for years) that I was normal. So I survived.

sorry to hear that,bro- hope you got some compensation from those evil bastards!

First, let me start with this: ¡Que se pudra el "Trump" en la cárcel sumido en mierda suya! Now, to quicksilver. I missed them at their peak. Saw the Dead and Airplane, but not them. Why? In September of 1970 for reasons too lengthy to explain and that I still find hard to believe, I went to live in Mexico, the Capital. I was there from the 19th of September that year until June 30th, 1972, when I crossed the border for the last time without plans to return again and live, and learn and study Spanish. There is no way for me to know today what might have been without that experience, but I'm sure it would have been far less, much worse, and not nearly as interesting. During the 68 Olympics, I heard about the "riots" like most people did in the U.S., getting the government version which played down the carnage and slaughter. It didn't take me long to hear more of the truth, once I arrived. Coincidentally, we arrived on the train, and I noticed this nice map, on a building to the west of the car. It showed the valley, and in the north western foothills "El Desierto de Los Leones." I'd had an introductory course to Spanish, so I knew what it meant, but just thought of it as a picturesque name. So I studied at the Instituto Mexicano-Norteamericano de Relaciones Culturales, in la Zona Rosa, (Hamburgo 115) Conversational Spanish until late December when funding difficulties meant we had to leave. 3 hours a night, 5 nights a week, read and reread the course text--about 3 hours a day, go to class, and go out after and never have a chance of forgetting anything you just learned because you go out and use it immediately. Best educational experience of my entire life. 5 week courses. Nearly completed the third, but had to go, 90% done. Two months or so later, after returning in early January, it was March of 1971, studying at UNAM then, one day, and I just found myself thinking in Spanish. Wouldn't have been as fast without the conversational courses. Anyway, just thought I'd say "hi" to someone who knows. I came close to not returning. In 1972, taking cursos temporales at UNAM again, I left my text and notes in the back of a friend's car (VW Bug, behind the back seat) when I rode out with him to his place in The Desert of the Lions. Nice little weekend cabin I'd been too before. Lots of space outside for young men and coeds to mingle after class, know what I mean. Caught a ride back to my car with one of the coeds. Got back "home" to the family I was living with in La Colonia Guerrero." I think there was more to the name. There was a professional baseball stadium a few blocks north. Maybe "Romero y terreros." Something like that. Missed the notebook and text when I got to where I needed it. Hours had passed couldn't get him on the phone. Finally just decided to try my luck. Drove out. It was night by then. I knew a way through the fence (just like maybe 2 year old tree trunks, maybe 2-3 inches thick, but 12 feet high set in a rock wall about 3 feet high, where there was a trunk/pole missing. Decided to start a fire and wait. Plenty of dry wood. Put some in the fire pit. Got his can of starter: a mix of gas and oil. Poured it, stood back, stuck the match along the edge of the box. It arched through the air hit the wood, bounced down to the bottom and sputtered out. I wasn't paying much attention to the sputter by then. I was too busy noticing every hair on my body standing at attention after I'd heard the big cat behind me come out with that hissing roar. I turned around in time to see it turning away and sauntering off. Its nose had been within 4 feet of my back. That match must have done to its eyes what a flashbulb does to ours if we look straight at it in a dim environment. If it weren't for the fact that the government taxed matches and you couldn't get lighter fluid, or disposable lighters, I might have knelt down to try and light that fire with a kerosene lighter. That probably would have been lights out for me. In that deserted area, at night, in a forest where it's even darker still, and nobody living around for miles. Picturesque name. Right. I was never able to be sure, it was too dark and I only saw a silhouette, whether it was a puma or jaguar, which have overlapping ranges in that area--not that it would have mattered much to me which species was ripping my throat out. From the sound, it sounded exactly like what you hear from a puma. But I don't know if jaguars would make a sound like that if surprised or annoyed. I'm just glad I didn't get eaten. My friend told me the next day "Oh, yeah! You have to be careful around there at night!" I put that one in the "No shit, Sherlock" bin. Anyway, I didn't see Quicksilver, live, ever. But considering what I got instead, it was worth it. ¡Que nunca se olviden el 2 de Octubre, 1968 y los muertos del masacreTlatelolco!

Hey Red, remenber VIBRACIONES, in Radio Capital? Never missed a day of it's broadcast, great memories of great times, in Balbuena

@@robertbishop9267 You said it all.

@@victorgenarobritobarreiro644 They had great radio in the DF back in the day. Even Radio 590 La Pantera! played the Dead, Hendrix, and non-stop Rolling Stones. Unbelievable. Paz y amor, hermano!

One of the my favorite songs I'm grown up on Mexico city since I earing this group still like viva Mexico cabrones

Donald bro you can create Luck in your life. Look into the S G I. A Buddhist group maybe in your town. I'm serious man make your own good luck.

You forgot Jorma!

@@Mrbeahz1 An oversight due to age.

@@Mrbeahz1absolutely!

Heard Aphrodite's Child and Steppenwolf's Monster on same. Clear as a bell on a clear night in Kansas City.

Hmm, like yesterday, but in fact 50+ yrs ago, and me? somewhat bashed and broken and deaf yeh thats what I said

They died in a wonderful foolishness of...

I'm pushing 40 with a pretty short stick. My Dad has this on vinyl. Hope you're doing well, Old Man!

@@keithd2284 ha ha. I'm 66 now young fella. Thanks to u tube I can still listen to it and other great tracks from the golden age of rock.. Not stoned though, gave up weed and acid years ago.. Might have some red wine though.. Take care buddy

@@keithwaites9991 Cheers.

Sounds suspiciously like an evening at the Family Dog on the Great Highway.

This great guitarist smoked himself to death, regular cigarettes I suspect?

Is that peter green of the original fleetwood mac in your profile picture? If so great taste

+Thelonesniper101 Yes. I have a FB group you may be interested in: "Then Play On ... Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac."

George Thorogood and the Destroyers did a very good rendition of that song as well, altho much shorter!

Written by Bo Diddley.

euge johnson ah yes the good ole days of Youth and freedom!

The only

Gary Duncan too

Gary Duncan doesn’t get enough recognition, the voice too🔥🎸😎

@@KittyGrizGriz Especially if you consider he handled 50 % or more of guitar solos

I call 3 a.m. music

Tell us about his amp setup

It's really cool guitar playing, great rhythms

Wow, lucky you. "always a good show" is a major understatement I'm sure. I was told I went to the Fillmore once, but like Jim Morrison always said, it must of happened during one of my blackouts because I have no memory of that.

I had mine man!!!!!

when steve miller1st arrived on that scene,livin in the USA,reallt cool stuff,then he went for the dough,commercially,shit like fly like an eagle,pure garbage

actually paul butterfield blues band or specifically Mike bloomfield was responsible for the long track,.East West,it influnced the san francisco sound,however this is a brilliant track had the chance to hear it earsplitting loud one of my favorite best songs ever but now we have King Gizzard carrying the torch and all is well with the rock and roll world,check out Cellophane live!

Others did too. But here we have the ultimate thing in intensity. From the first note to the last - including the unheard !

My dad, who was in his teens in the 60's kept this record and many others. He had an early 80's record player and played this for me when I was 8 or 9 (around 1990). It has stuck with me ever since.

Yeah I burned though two copies of this album. Thank goodness for reissues. 10 years or so older than you and couldn't get enough of this stuff and grass was $25 an oz.

just the ending's dynamics outshine most comlete work...WOW

One of my all-time favorites,pull it up now and then.never gets old..

I think the line at the end is "You been foolin' around with another." I used to think it was "the Devil" too, but after another 1000 (approx) listens I decided it's "another."

oscar3eyes ok let a look open kk

Great stuff

Beyond words, ethereal.

I had no idea. I thought it was all Cippolina. After 50 years I learn there's no Santa Claus.

@@snowcapsnowcap1 Cippolina's solos are easy to pick out. He was a master of the whammy bar

shimmering for LSD

You'd appreciate Terry Doherty then.

John was great, you bet your life on that, but so was Gary....

Tim Withee yes, Duncan doesn't get nearly enough credit

Undeniably, hands down the best guitar interplay of the ages. On this song, Cippolina and Duncan could transition so deftly btwn lead and rhythm, for the 1st few years ('69-'73), I thought it was mostly just JC. They were both underrated (esp Duncan). They were the best at conjuring up feedback as if that were art! One of the greatest LPs of that time.

And Gary Duncan

Went through vinyl, cassettes and 8 track copies of this. Many copies. Always had a spare tape copy in the car on every road trip. (I still have the working 8 track recorder)

Agree with you %100 dude.

That's "a cobra snake for a necktie"

Play side 2 Mona , maiden of the cancer moon, calvary..it's cool it would take a while to get to side 2
