Performer: Quicksilver Messenger Service
Distributor: E1 Distribution (USA) Notes: Recorded two years before their debut album, this concert disc finds pioneering San Francisco psychedelic band Quicksilver Messenger Service in an embryonic state. They were still pretty much a rocked-up blues band in 1966, covering Chicago blues staples (only two tracks here would make it to the band's studio repertoire), but you can hear the beginnings of the psychedelic sound starting to take shape on this fascinating historical document.
Along with the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver Messenger Service were one of the first and best of the San Francisco '60s psychedelic bands. Though they shared with their peers an improvisational bent and eclectic roots in blues, jazz, folk, and rock, what helped set them apart was the distinctive twin-guitar work of John Cipollina and Gary Duncan, two virtuosic players. When New York singer-songwriter Dino Valenti became their frontman, their sound became more accessible and they scored a couple of minor hits before disbanding in the mid-'70s.
