Quicksilver Messenger Service Studio and Live 68-75 PART TWO
Kostas has done his usual excellent profile again on the legendary Quicksilver Messenger Service here the links to part One so we look forward to the second part in due course but it will be worth a read and really worth checking out the music.
I came to them latish (after Grateful Dead I think) and Dino and John especially feature latterly in my panoply of fine musicians, the tragic Nicky Hopkins I had been aware of and of course the guys like Freiberg and Murray and Naftalin on keyboards equally added to the legend. I think I bought Happy Trails first and still have my early vinyl version and it stays a favourite but the guitar work is fascinating from all the works available. This will be FUN!
