I stand corrected, I was looking at pix of Quicksilver Gold and thought Joli was a different guy. Actually Joli looks just like his handsome father and in the MP3's I think his voice is awesome as well. My mistake, Thank you Joli, keep up the good work and watch out for That Elaine chick she's the one that tried to get me to hate you. Anyone who tries to restore such wonderous music deseves a lot of credit. Mario Cippolina rocks. Long lives Quicksilver Gold, nobody deserves to wear the Valenti name except joli.

That Joli would have the balls to call him self "Valenti" and look like he does on stage is an insult to Dino's memory. To hear him sing Dino's songs off-key is an assault to his memory. All I can say is the gene pool got polluted and depleted. Get a job!

I have been a qms fan since 1968 and I enjoy listening to their music just as much today as I did back then. Does anyone know where I can buy memoriblia from qms?

Kevin - you're right about the content lately. The moderator of the guestbook goes through and deletes periodically the spam and non-QMS related matter, of which we've seen MORE than enough. People in their search for the almighty dollar infiltrate these areas for their own greed and not the interest of the actual subject. Trust me, there are many of us who are as commited to QMS now as we were 30 years ago!

I have fond memories of seeing QMS live at the ICE PALACE in Las Vegas Nv. years ago. My brother said there were some other nights in San Francisco but hallucinations get in the way!

made me think of this poem.. hope this is ok...

from Gitanjali
by Rabindranath Tagore
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection:
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is lead forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action—
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

I was listening to QMS the night of April 24, 2003 when "Pride of Man" started it was if I heard it for the first time. I found your web page that confirmed the lyrics for me (thanks for such a good web-site). Please check the lyrics for yourself (just click the link to the Quicksilver Messenger Service under Discography). It is amazing that a song written in 1968 about biblical times can so strangely be applied to the evening news of today. "Babylon is laid to waste, Egypt's buried in her shame,/ The mighty men are all beaten down, their kings are fallen in the ways,/ Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again./ Turn around, go back down, back the way you came, /Terror is on every side, lo our leaders are dismayed.
For theose who place their faith in fire, their faith in fire shall be repayed". Just needed to share.

Dino was a one hit wonder.. Fresh Air,What about me, same song,sounded a little like Johnny Rivers to me.I think Gary Duncan was the soul and spirit behind QMS.John had a unique style,best thing he ever did was The Fool,but he peaked early,but during those days it was truly magic.Gary carried on the magic and became a great songwriter,singer,and one of the best guitar players today.As far as Joli goes,I think he should make a career on his own music,not his Dad's.I love QMS,but would rather heard Duncan or Freiberg doing a few old tunes but would love to hear new stuff by either of the great artists.I am waiting for Duncan to put more of what he did on Shape Shifter out.He is the one to carry the Quicksilver sound.Dont care to hear any QMS music without Duncan or Freiberg,the rest is kinda like the fake Fleetwood Mac,that came out years ago.

I want to apologize for the "web rage" and especially to the people whose names were dragged into a very personal vendetta. It was never my intention for it to happen. I was minding my own business and a dialogue was opened by another party and one thing led to another. I clearly do not want any dialogue with that person. Okay? There are a lot of innocent people here that definitely don't need any of this. So, let's move on. Shall we?

Oh, and I didn't write that F___ you J. thing. Very funny.

- Saturday, April 19, 2003 at 15:46:27 (EDT)

You said Joli made attacks on a bro's mom? It sound to me she attacked an estranged estate from what you say. So to give you the benifit of the doubt I read the whole book, you were ruder, and you said Joli's dad said he was an asshole? hard to believe a man would say that about his own kid, and you did say his mother got cheated on while he was being born. True or not that's tight to try and make a kid feel like he was'nt wanted by his father, you need some therapy for asituation that does'nt seem to be any of your business, or you just have to much time on your hands Lady. you are not looking good in this picture. Dino sucked anyway and I never heard a nice thing about him.

Elaine, I made no personal attacks towards you, asked you to call me directly, told you the (court papers to prove it) truth, and yet you still make personal attacks on my mother and I. No, really, are you an idiot? My mother never said a bad word about any of you and for your info they were married from 1958 and never divorced, but you would know that because you know everything. They broke up because judy brunke (sp) (idiot dumb blonde by most peoples opinion0 came into Dad's life, and yes I am aware of the truth Cuz' my mother never lied about what really happened.
She also never said a bad word about Dad while I was growing up. I was just happy to see him when he came by, and she was gracious to him every time, even lending him money when she had none, but you would know that too I guess. As you DID NOT know he stayed in touch and floated in and out of our lives in L.A. until he went to prison, but you probably know that too. You know everything don't you..........As for Sterling, I never had proof he is related and I still wanted to do something for him anyway,
I do have proof of that! Someday when he is old enough and ready enough he will hopefully come to me, and my family will be here with waiting arms. Now are'nt you glad you made all your pitiful attacks on my mother, my family and me who, contrary to popular belief, deserves to have an attachment to my birthright! I guess when your folks die or died you did not accept what they left. Hmmm? I was left with a bunch of raging greedy assholes, not short of a Garcia estate! I look forward to meeting Sterling, yet if it comes with Y'all attached it won't be easy for us, I assure you.....

Last of My words anyway,
Joli

Take a chill pill Lady, Quicksilver rocks! Especially the stuff without Dino's nasally crap. Your just making a fool of yourself. I read the guys post, he said he always liked you. Q.M.S. rocks especially the song "Gold and Silver", loved "Cobra" too. If they are brothers let them hash it out. None of us care or care to know. I liked you better before you went crazy.

Maybe you think it is nobel for somebody to talk about the mother of his brother and their family in such a horrible way, and other people in Dino's life, just to cover up his own evil deeds, and deny his brother HIS birthright. Well, that is beyond me.
Elaine
- Saturday, April 19, 2003 at 15:08:40 (EDT)

Since you brought it up, I have nothing to be ashamed of. J. should have known better than to address me. Period. He is an opportunistic creep and I don't want him in my life. What about all the vicious things he said about all the people BY NAME in his post? All of it lies, too!
Elaine
- Saturday, April 19, 2003 at 15:03:34 (EDT)

Talk about whiny? Elaine you should be ashamed of yourself. Michael is right, you should do this OFFLINE! I knew Dino better than you and he loved Joli with all of his heart. You did say some mean things, even though I think everyone is entitled to thier opinion, you should refrain. I know Joli as well, he is an excellent father to his children, and in my opinion a nicer guy than his father ever was. Ask anyone. I also believe he is a better singer and father than HIS father ever was. Dino used to tell me that himself. Gary told me once that Joli was a better singer than his father as well. Really you should do this offline, both of you. God Bless, Ronnie

Woke up this morning
Thinkin' about you
Night creepin'
It's so lonely
Without you
Tried to think about
Some other situation
My mind starts sinking,baby
My poor heart is breakin'
Making me cry, baby
That's not the thing to do
I'd rather be lonely....

Personal attacks:

1)(although Dad did often, like when he sent you home early because he could'nt stand you or your hermaphrodite dog, you remember, and he did'nt like Donna or her mother),
Response: Dino never “met” my dog. Which “sent me home early” incident in the 36 years I knew your dad are you referring to? And Dino called your brother’s grandmother “MOM”! I never heard him say a bad thing about her or your brother's mother.

2)They broke up because judy brunke (sp)(gorgeous talented idiot dumb blonde by Mom's and others opinions) came into Dad's life,
Response: I never mentioned anyone by name. The person referred to was an art graduate from the U. of Honolulu and traveled throughout Europe after college with a guitar strapped to her back before meeting Dino in the Village. Dino was crazy about her, and she was not dumb…just gorgeous, sophisticated, and too much for him to handle!

3) As for Sterling, I never had proof he is related and I still wanted to do something for him anyway.
Response: Again, I never mentioned names. It would be quite easy to prove he is related as anyone knows. Actually, one look at him or to hear his quick, rather clipped speech so much like his dad’s would be enough. And the laugh!

4) I spent fifteen years singing those song with him. Even in front of you!
Response: I never heard you. Must be somebody else.

5) I was left with a bunch of raging greedy female assholes, not short of a Garcia estate!
Response: Who are you referring to? I never asked for anything from him or you. I sent you $100 for flowers for you dad’s funeral. Who are you calling greedy female assholes??? Your friends or your relatives???

6) Stick to what you know Elaine.....nothing
Response: I met Dino when I was 16 and have enough material to write a book. I knew Dino’ s vulnerability as he understood mine. That’s why we remained friends in spite of our ups and downs. I know a whole lot.

I haven’t spoken to Joli in seven years. His last e-mail that long ago said something to the effect that he would f____ me. Well, maybe one of Dino’s other girlfriends would do that, I don’t know. But I sure wouldn’t. I have too much love and respect for the artist and the man, may he rest in peace. He was quite a cat!

I tried to tell you
I tried...everything I could
OOOOOOOHHHH...to try to tell you
THE TRUTH!!

Elaine
- Saturday, April 19, 2003 at 13:34:36 (EDT)

I have kept my distance from Joli. He has sent me e-mails and replied to my posts in spite of the fact that I want nothing to do with him. If you notice, all I did was ask him how his little brother was, after which he blew his entire load, naming names, telling lies and accusing me of attacking his family, which I never did. I will be happy to stop if in the future he maintains a healthy distance from me, stops e-mailing me, and does not address me on this page. Yes, I can be vicious when provoked. If you read the posts, you will see who provoked whom.

Regards to all who love the music. Long may it live.

I don't know Joli, have seen Elaine posts from time to time, But I agree it would be to cool for making up. i am somewhat shock at Elaine attacks. Although Joli (F/M)? asks if she is an idiot, his seems to be defending attackon mother and himself only, Elaine yours is viciuos, very bad.
And you start this after he agreeswith you on political view
when I read back. I love John Cippolina and dont'care your fight. I hope you two find Peace. Elaine, chill out we love your posts. Joli was being attacked by you. You two should make up. Dino Valenti had a great voice on my cd's. I love the song What About Me. The hermaphrodite dog thing was funny though. kiss and make up.

Most visitors to this website prefer to remember QMS' positive
contributions to the world. Both of you need to get back to
adding positive memories to this site. Elaine always seems to
have uplifting thoughts and memories of the old days that are
appreciated by followers. Joli is carrying on in the Bay
keeping our memories alive. You two need to kiss and makeup
OFFLINE!

I just want to say that the music will never be forgotten. It's good that surviving members keep the band name going and make new music but for me it's all about the memories and the music at the time. I have the first seven QMS albums and the 1968 Dino V solo and they are treasures within my collection. Thanks for the site.

Whiney little punk that you are, YOU are the one that knows nothing! But then, Dino said YOU are an asshole. You are an opportunistic parasite. Actually, Dino never MET my hermaphrodite dog, because I acquired the dog AFTER I came back to New York to get MY inheritance and help my own SISTER. YOU don't know the facts, mister. You are a jerk and may be a MINOR celebrity in the Bay Area, which sure isn't hard since everybody's so stoned they don't know the difference, ANYWAY. And NO, I do NOT have your phone number, nor do I WANT it because you are such a VICIOUS little Scorpio creep that the only thing I would HONOR you with is stepping on you! SQUISH!! Bye-Bye you jerk!

PS--take me off your fucking distribution list. I don't like you.

Elaine, I made no personal attacks towards you, asked you to call me directly, told you the (court papers to prove it) truth, and yet you still make personal attacks on my mother and I. No, really, are you an idiot? I always liked you, and your contributions to anything on internet sites relating to Dad were greatly appreciated and admired. My mother never said a bad word about any of you (although Dad did often, like when he sent you home early because he could'nt stand you or your hermaphrodite dog, you remember, and he did'nt like Donna or her mother), and for your info, Mom and Dad were married from 1958 and never divorced, but you would know that because you know everything. They broke up because judy brunke (sp)(gorgeous talented idiot dumb blonde by Mom's and others opinions) came into Dad's life, and yes I am fully aware of the truth Cuz' my mother never lied about what really happened. Wonder about Donna to Sterling though?

Although my mother never said a bad word about Dad (and there was room) while I was growing up, I was just happy to see him when he came by, and she was gracious to him every time, even lending him money when she had none, but you would know that too I guess, you know everything. As you DID NOT know he stayed in touch and floated in and out of our lives in L.A. until he went to prison, but you probably know that too. You know everything don't you..........As for Sterling, I never had proof he is related and I still wanted to do something for him anyway. I do have proof of that! Someday when he is old enough and ready enough he will hopefully come to me, call me, play music with me and my kids, (who are talents as well), we will be here with waiting arms. If Donna will allow it.

Now are'nt you glad you made all of your pitiful attacks on my mother, my family and me. And contrary to popular belief, I deserves to have a right to my birthright, dumbass! I spent fifteen years singing those song with him. Even in front of you! I guess when your folks die or died (Respectfully I don't know) you did not accept what they left. Hmmm? I was left with a bunch of raging greedy female assholes, not short of a Garcia estate!

I look forward to meeting Sterling, yet if it comes with Y'all attached it won't be easy for us, I assure you. My mother encouraged a relationship for Dad and myself by writing him sweet letters and communicating with him, and Grandma'. Donna wanted nothing to do with Dad and even said so to too many people ie. Ron Umile, Marcellus, and Kay.

Peace out "4ever" to you Elaine, you just know everything!

P.S. Caroline and Kay and I are united, and sorry this ever happened. Real family always comes around to the truth! Ain't real family grand.

Elaine

Elaine
NYC, - Friday, April 18, 2003 at 14:12:48 (EDT)

Your brother's mother did what she thought was best for her son. And if she wanted nothing to do with Dino (which I very much doubt) it may have been because it finallly dawned on her that there was no future in the situation. She chose to have his child, though, which says a lot. She has also done a magnificent job of raising him, giving him a classic education with no help from you or the estate. He is a good-looking young man, and I think he has a wonderful future on his own, without piggy-backing on his father's name and fame.
Elaine
- Friday, April 18, 2003 at 14:06:40 (EDT)

P.S. I hope Sterling becomes a great performer. I'd play with him anytime. I am sure his mother would let him come over and jam. Or maybe she would just use these letters to start a new case against my family ie (The Christmas card I sent to Sterling that was used in court). You struck a nerve Elaine, the only ones being short changed here are Sterling, my kids and myself.

Ca. - Friday, April 18, 2003 at 12:19:38 (EDT)

His "wonderful mom" should have accepted my offer for half the estate in mediation, instead of her, Caroline, and all her attornies especially Noel Lawrence, among many other women turning it down stating that they wanted 100% of the estate and that I was'nt entitled to any of it because I had been adopted by another man who married my Wonderful Mom. Who was married to Dino (The only woman he ever married). They turned it down because they were sure the judge would award them the whole estate and leave me and my three kids with nothing. Greed will get you every time. You should stick to what you know Elaine. I personally would still like to meet Sterling anyway, and am not the one who cut the ties. I am sure we would get along fine without all of you women in our way. You can chalk that up to his "wonderful mom" who wanted nothing to do with Dino when he was alive yet wanted all he stood for when he was gone. I hope this answers your question since you decided to bring it up on an open forum instead of having the guts to call me and ask me directly. You have my number, whats up with that?

So true Elaine. Haliberton owned in part by yours truly Dick Cheney got the contract to rebuild oil wells, pumps, fields, derricks, and any and all oil ports. It's always been about the oil man.

People who kill people who kill people to show people that killing people is wrong, man what a concept huh?

War is an obcene way of solving political turmoil and getting rid of our "enemies." If anyone thinks that the problems in the Middle East will be resolved and that there will be an end to terrorism, they are wrong. It will only help the corporate cronies of Cheney/Rumsfeld/Bush who stand to profit in the rebuilding of Iraq and in managing its oil fields. We still haven't found Bin-Laden or Saddam, have we?

This site is excellent, and the band is truly enigmatic and I owe so much to them for every
time I hear their music and experience what we call a wide range of euphoric
rushes of the energy contained in the music. Thank you Gary, thank you Dave. When I am old
and gray, I will continue to listen to psychedelic music for it is truly
the only music so honest that it cuts straight to the visionary soul. I have a site listed here, my Psychedelic Rock Page,
feel free to dig it, cause I know you wil.

Thank you for the chance to write in your Guestbook. This is a great website, how very interesting.I was hoping for more photos of how the band looks now versus how they looked then.Impressed deeply how the people still continue to love the band and the band's music.Didn't even know QMS had sung some of the songs quoted here. Mistakingly credited Buffalo Springfield for them.Certainly some of the most beautiful of the San Fransico vibrations and hippee anthems.

I'm 46 - a fan since '73. I own all the Capitol releases plus "Last Days of The Fillmore (HOT SET.) Yes, John was great (God rest his Soul), but Gary's always been one of my favotite guitarists. His solo in "Who Do You Love" is the most inspiring guitar playing to ever come out of the S.F. music scene on a recording, and the rest of his recorded playing is fantastic as well. Keep on keeping on, Gary.

I have recently completed what may be the best book on the lives of hippes in communal life ever written. The book conveys a realism that will moisten your eyes in places, but will, also, make you smile.

You might be interested in viewing, and ordering my inexpensive book, The Seed Of Love, which went live at 1st Books Library this March. Before I continue, let me show you where to view it: http://www.1stBooks.com/bookview/14403

Its about one hippie, myself, and a communal experiment in Mexico back in 1970. Among many things, it chronicles the events, and the lives of the hippes that lived on a sprawling, high altitude, 200 acre apple orchard in the mountains of Veracruz. The name of the property, and the commune was Chestnuts.

Among many things, the multidimensional book includes explorations through altered states of consciousness, over land excursions to the wilderness of Oaxaca to procure the 'magic' mushrooms, interpersonal relationships, my personal struggles for fulfillment, and contains a dash of erotica.

I can not help but wonder at how well it turned out. I did my own editing, and within its 278 pages I found only three minor typos as I read through my complimentry copy. Overall, it offers the reader a seamless, nostalgic dream of a long ago way of life that was lived out in the flesh. My writing is crisp, and precise. I am really tickled with the product, and I believe that many readers, you among them, will share my delight.

Very truly yours, Reed Kinney.

I love those cowboys
I love their gold
I love my uncle
God rest his soul
He was a good man
Taught me all I know
He taught me so good
I grabbed the gold
And left him lyin'
There by the
Side o' the road

For anyone who is interested...Dino has TWO sons, not one. Different mothers...but the mother of the younger son probably spent at least five times as many years with Dino. The younger son is a senior in highschool with a strong bent toward music. He gets no help from Dino's estate whatsoever due to a very nasty court battle that his mother lost. So, come on, children smile on your brother, everybody get together try to love one another right NOW!!

Thanks, Judy, but I forgot a few lines:

In this fading twilight
After all have left your side
One last shadow lingers by
The edge of time...

One last sweet
"I love you..."
To echo through
The ages
Stir the dusty shadows
Of the cold
Heart of time...

And there was no beginning...

(Now I feel better!)

After all have left your side
One last shadow lingers by
The edge of time...

And there was no beginning
And nobody knows who's winning
But it's in the final inning
And I believe the score is tied
But it make no difference anyway
Cause I ain't got...
No place to hide...
And no one to run to...

I need someone to hold my hand
Someone to understand
Someone I can talk to
Every night

She don't have to have
a lot to say...
Just a little girl
Who wants to go my way
Someone who just
Wants to do me right

Talkin' 'bout
Sweet sweet love, babe
Sweet, sweet love, babe

Call on me...
Call on me...
Call on me...

Caaaaaaaaaaalll
Caaaaaaaaaaalll

My all time favorite band!!! Wore the records out while overseas in the late 60's. Helped us keep home close at hand . My Bud's and I were all raised on farms and ranches, so we were all a little cowboy at heart anyway! That made my favorite album "Happy Trails" of course. We all sang along and all played some pretty mean Air Guitar... I'm awful sorry some of the boys are no longer with us!! I know if they were all still together, they would still be pumping out the tunes, new and old.So Who Do You Love? Quicksilver of course!!!

Why won't Capitol Records remaster the entire Happy Trails CD? The 1991 Rhino compilation, as well as Capitol's recently released "Classic Masters" 24-bit remastered compilation CD only contain edits of "Who Do You Love."

i was listening/jamming to the quciksilver lp,"solid silver" today,an oft-recognized failure of an album....quicksilvers songs are funner to play than learn,the ones from "shady grove" on...i suppose the deadhead/psychedelic purchasers of music as well as the certified critics who favor this band at all favor the style from the first two,more essentially the second("trails)...i think each lp is a piece of art like most great 60s albums...what makes "solid"an important album is that it is not only recorded pristinely(much like the frist) but features a consistent parade of magnificant songs...forinstance the never noticed,"i heard you singing"which has frieberg presenting a stream-of-conscious lyric to yet another loopy yet memorable arrangement of chords which for all of my forte in music found hard to recgnize as anything i had ever heard before...the best cippolina song on a quicksilver lp is on here as well,"heebie jeebies"...valentis songs are all fantastic,presenting his gypsy folk songs with a funky (yes,almost pre-disco)beat behind it at times,although "cowboy on the run"(which i previuosly thought very corny)reveals itself as a nice dino ballad...may have been bushes speech...garys songs are the most happiest and funnest from the 60s 70s and have ultra clever arrangements with very vague lyrics....speaking of vague the directness of dinos "bitersweet love" may be the real dud on it because the music,to my very liberal ears,loses all focus last verse and his instrumental while wonderful to jam to is rather weak...the real killer on here which nobody ever mentions is dinos "flames"which melds their 70s boogie thing with inspired wah jamming where all take turns and shine for quite a while,actually...so,yes,fans of jamming will find a bit here...i sound like im promoting this album,but i must say that all things considered it may be as good as the first...anybody else agree with me?

i posted a message then scrolled down wow the whole Fillmore is filled up again. hot damn, thats cool, nothing fuckin changed, its all the same only a wee bit more mellow like a good old muscatel brewed in the mountains. actually some things did change over the years growers got really hip on producing hybrid smoke that would blow your ole ladies panties off. but anyway i copped a buzz readin everybodys posts. and it turns me on to know the Spirit that grabbed me and shook me and turned me inside out and outside in is still FREE and FREE i have found is the way for MAGIC to slip into your imagination and flow from your finger tips like it was supposed to be you, you know......!?

my mind grew with it all, i went my way, after all these years, you are still THERE, WHERE IT IS AS IT WAS. couldnt follow cause i came back to bay area after 2 years in AF. met Dan Johannes from Berkely and he guided me to the place in my mind where the magic flowed like the sparkling energy that the LOVE SPIRIT bestowed only to the gentle dreams of my catalyzed brain cells. I learned so much and my mind thoughts led me to believe that even Janice Joplin didnt cop out to the press about our secret place in space and time, that at the time even the feds wanted to find out more about................................i dont know what kind of music i place on my guitars nowadays mostly chords and scales, but every now and again i get hit by a memory that makes the water flow from my eyes like its tryin to put out a fire. and i been the same old fool for so many years. love to all in a special way.....................!

Time has taught us that there was only one Quicksilver Messenger Service (with Dino and John perhaps defining two distinct time periods). I don't believe the forces at play within that unique period of time will ever be repeated nor can they be duplicated. While it may be a "guilty pleasure" for many to listen to a cover band replicate a band's hit tunes on occasion, the creation of new material and exploring a new direction is what it is really about. Gary Duncan seemed to want to do that. However, for better or worse, the name Quicksilver will always be linked to a certain period of time and a particular body of music. This website seems to pay tribute to that and is the reason so many people continue to visit and post here.

I am originally from Nebraska and had the good fortune to see Q.M.S. in Lincoln, Nebraska in September 1971, headlining over Sugarloaf and Ballinjack.It's hard to make individual comments other than to say that the musicianship and enthusiasm were overwhelming. I thoroughly enjoyed the show, and went about collecting material by Q.M.S. I didn't happen to see the concert I attended listed in the concert file. I don't remember the exact date (the ticket stub is hidden in a box and packed away somewhere), but it was in early Septemer, 1971.

Does anyone know with certainty who plays the piano on 1971's "Don't Cry, My Lady Love?" I had always assumed it was Nicky Hopkins, but I have read that the song was recorded after he left the band in 1971 and it is Mark Naftalin (and possibly Chuck Steaks) on piano.

Visitors to this great QMS Shady Grove website may be interested to know that Bo Diddley, one of the founding fathers of rock & roll and the popularizer of the world-famous "Bo Diddley beat", has just launched his new website and online store. The site, which with typical idiosyncrasy he has named "Bo Bo Diddley's Turnup Root", is located at http://www.turnup-root.com/

In conjunction with his new website, Bo Diddley is currently also shaping up to release CDs of both brand new recordings as well as a series of exciting limited edition collectors' CDs of previously unreleased archive material recorded in his various home studios during the past 40 years. Right now, visitors to his website can shop online at Bo Diddley's Online Store powered by CafePress.com and purchase a range of cool-looking and exclusive limited edition items including T-shirts, sweatshirts, BBQ aprons and "Road Runner" vehicle license plate frames.

Many years ago, when I was very young and making my living as a dancer in North Beach, I had the pleasure of meeting Gary Duncan on the street (in an alley actually.) Although I loved Quicksilver Messenger Service, I didn't recognize him right away; a friend told me who he was. I was so flattered that he would flirt with me, I was only 18 at the time, just one of my many great memories. Makes me happy that he is still making music after all these years.

Hey guys,
Just dropped in to say hi. What's with all the ads? Did someone figure out a new way to invade bulletin boards or something. Still haven't worn out Shape Shifter. If ya haven't gotten it yet, do yourself a favor. Guaranteed that you'll find at least a half dozen songs that will knock you out (personally, about a dozen do it for me) which is alot more than anything I've bought in many years. Peace.

Dad...this is for you. If you knew anything you would see that Mom's book would do nothing but HELP your "career." Why don't you just let it go! Nothing she says can hurt your children more than what you have said or done.

Hey, how about I write a book?! It would be FULL of really great memories that everyone would be sure to enjoy.

What a joke...

I bought the Happy trails vinil record about 28 years ago,and recently I was looking for an update cd version of the song "Who do you love"(25.22 min)and for me is an exceptional rock song, and I still remember in my memories for all those years this song. I recomend to the new musicians generations this record, even after 30 years from the recording.

One of the best guitar sounds from that era that epitimized the state of mind and depth of feeling we all aspired to as members of that generation. That they existed at all was incredably fortunate, though we did'nt have a clue at the time for the most part.

QMS appeared thirty years ago on the PBS television special called "Go Ride the Music," performing "Baby Baby," "Subway," "Mona," and, according to Quicksilver Gal Judy Florentine, a tune I'd never heard anywhere else called "Warm Red Wine." They were a sextet, and Judy says the performance was from a free concert at Sonoma State in Northern California in the early or mid 70's. Does anyone know how to obtain a copy of this broadcast, or its "sister" tape "Night at the Family Dog" with the Dead, Santana, and the Airplane?
Happy trails, all.

No, I didn't change my name because Quicksilver were a great band (they were), but I thought i looked like John Cipollina with my long hair flowing. My favourite album is the first one, with that delicious chocolate box cover , but Dino wrote some great songs especially What You Gonna Do About Me?

I was born a generation too late and more than 2000 miles from Haight-Ashbury (1966 in Cincinnati) but I love the SFS. I see so many of you still listening to your vinyl records but thank heaven that I was able to find the Sons of Mercury double CD at Virgin record store. Also found a record company called San Francisco Sound (SFS) that has Moby Grape, It's a Beautiful Day and others on CD. I was not here to hear it or buy the first time that is why I am glad to find the great recordings on CD. The best part of 60's music versus today is groups in the 60's harmonize their lyrics.

In 1963, Barry [McGuire] wrote a song that was both his first composition for the
Christys and the Christys’ first and greatest hit single: “Green, Green.” Barry
says that he wrote the song as a result of losing a girlfriend to another guy.
Just prior to the Christys going on the road to play the Latin Quarter in New York City, Barry
introduced his girlfriend, Toni Stern, to Dino Valenti (later of Quicksilver Messenger Service).
While Barry was on the road, Toni started dating Dino. Barry says, “It just frosted my cookies. I
thought of how I could get even with him for going out with my girl. He did a song called ‘Green,
Green,’ the old traditional folksong from the southeastern United States, and it was a
showstopper. When he did it, he always got a standing ovation. So I said, ‘I’ll fix him,’ and I
re-wrote it into a different format. Then Randy Sparks took it and re-wrote a few lines, and the
Christys did it and it became a big hit for us. I thought, ‘That’s it, man! He’ll never be able to sing
that song again, ‘cause everybody will think he’s singing a Christys’ song.’ About a year later, I
went to a little club in San Francisco, and Dino was singing ‘Green, Green’ just like he’d always
sung it. It was still a showstopper, standing ovation, everybody singing, and I just saluted the
guy. I said, ‘Man, you are wonderful.’

(This is from a web page on the New Christy Minstrels for all you Dinophiles out there.)

Hey, QMS fans:

My book, "My Husband the Rock Star," is selling well and getting very good reviews. Here's one from Sheesh Cipollina, John's younger sister, and an old friend of mine. "Shelley, I just finished reading your book. It's fun and bittersweet and well-written. I just loved it."

Wanted to let you know there will be a book signing on October 5, 2002, 3:00 p.m., Village Music Store, #9 E. Blythedale, Mill Valley, CA. Please come. Old friends, QMS people will be there.

Best, and peace,

What a find for an old Quicksilver fan! East Hollywood freaks (remember the original'Blue Grotto' and 'Seeds & Stems'?) knew that whatever BIG band was in town; if QMS, the Mothers, or the Youngbloods were playing, that's where we would be. Somehow I remember a show at the Olympic where Quicksilver played 2nd on the bill to 'Ten Years After'. It was the first show with Nicky and Dino, they blew the arena and minds away. 10 Yrs may have done well, but they could not follow that. By their 2nd number, the Acid Heads were streaming out, stepping on many a cop's toes on the way. It was an honor to see Chip many times in Sonoma County up to the end of his of his time on the stage, usually with 'Dinosaurs' and 'Zero', but other bands also. Whenever he played at the Cotati Caberet, his mother and sister would have a table and visit with all those who wanted to pay their respects. The first time The Dinosaurs played there after John's death Papa John took his place, as no guitarist could. And John's mother and sister where there also. Class!

Anyone who likes Dino Valenti's style may want to check out a performance by Richie Havens. Richie credits Dino, as well as other artists from the Village in the '60s such as Fred Neil, Len Chandler and Nina Simone, as being significant influences on his style. He has even been known to throw in some "obtuse" song that Dino may have performed many years ago, such as "3:10 to Yuma" or one of Dino's train songs. Richie is a big supporter of Dino and has successfully carried on the folk tradition for many years.

Our agency represents direct marketing companies that are involved in the marketing of products as seen on TV in England. Most of the infomercial products come from the U.S. but then again we export our talents as well. My brother has appeared in infomercials in the U.S. advertising various products. I think it's hilarious that English people respond so well to American products while Americans tend to respond well to sales people who have an English accent!

GO TO WWW.HOLLYWOODANDVINE.COM AND E-MAIL A REQUEST FOR REMASTERING TO PRODUCER CHERYL PAWELSKI. IN THE MEAN TIME, BUY THE 24 BIT DIGITALLY REMASTERED "CLASSIC MASTERS" COMPILATION RECENTLY RELEASED IN THE U.S.A.

Must say that it was only about six years ago that I discovered the internet and the fabulous QMS web page. I am sure so many people were excited about it, judging from all the posts and happy memories. It amazes me that at that time I could find Dino's name only on about 3 web sites: the Byrds, Shady Grove, and Richie Haven's home page. Dino's name is now on hundreds of web sites. It would be great if the songs he wrote in his final years could be sung and recorded by David or some other old friend. There are many of us who think Dino was a truly great poet and songwriter. Being an avid reader of mystical books, Dino was a lover of words and had a real talent with them. I know I will hear his songs again sometime soon.

I believe that we can find a way back to the sun
And we can turn a dark cloud over...

Amen to that!

About Dino and more:
Musically, the event was the "real McCoy," and included the first San Francisco appearance in over ten years by Dino Valenti. Valenti, who had been sidelined after brain surgery, is best known for his association with Quicksilver Messenger Service for which he wrote and sang their biggest hits, "Fresh Air" and "What About Me?". Dino also wrote the '60s anthem "Get Together" which was made famous by The Youngbloods. Valenti, who accompanied himself on acoustic guitar was in exceptionally good form displaying his soulful vocals that have been missing on the SF music scene for the last decade. From the first strains of Dino's opening song, "Heartaches," many in the packed house recalled what was perhaps the best part of the legendary Quicksilver band. The singer-songwriter debuted a set of new songs that easily matched his previous triumphs like "Cry Baby," "Winners," "I Want To Fly," "Scarecrow," "If I Had," and "Somebody." Valenti, who was obviously moved by the thunderous ovation he received after each song, remarked: "I'm just so happy to be alive and to be having fun." Likewise for Big Brother and The Holding Company, who have been absent from the stage recently. Made up of founding members James Gurley and Sam Andrew on guitars, Peter Albin on bass, and Dave Getz on drums, the legendary band featured the out-of-this-world vocals of Michel Bastian. Bastian, who clearly had her job cut out for her, carried the set in her own unique, almost operatic style that added new life to old chestnuts and made classics of the new material performed. Included in Big Brother's high energy set were: "Combination Of The Two," "Catch Me Daddy," "Down On Me," "Summertime," "Ball And Chain," "Buried Alive In The Blues," and "Piece of My Heart."

The first two Quicksilver albums are classics and shall remain timeless. I never saw QMS live, but I did see John Cipollina at the Glasgow Apollo in 1975,and to this day it's still my favourite concert ! The "Lost silver and gold" album shows how brilliant they are !

The release of " Lost silver and gold " sums up what a great band they are !

QSM--one of my all time favorite bands.
Thanks for all the music.

But how do I get more? Do you know of any traders of live QSM? I have only found a few decent recordings.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What a trip this site is! Links that make one drool.. Still have a poster put out in San Rafael in 66 or 67. Used to crack up listening to KTIMs Travis T Hipp commentary in between loooooong blocks of QSM, the Dead, Spirit and so many others in progressive R&R. Your music (athough "outlawed" [ROCK AND ROLL]) on AFVN had more than one FSB rocking with their copies of the Pride of Man. OK I will admit the Animals "We got to get out of this place" got equal play, but hey we did want out of there. QSM kept the sanity of this head. Thank You !!

I have seen several recent Quicksilver shows. The Pocono show although plagued with amp problems, was the best. Gary stepped back and played some Old QMS as well as some of his great recent material.I know we would all love to a real Jam night. I graduated from High school in 1967 and lived close to Boston. I saw all the great ones QMS was the greatest of the great! Gary and John still make my head spin and bring a tear to my eye for what once was. Thank God for Tapes.

I was introduced to the music of Quicksilver behind some LSD of the same name. Blazing while sitting outside watching the sun come up.....music blaring....we spotted a lone pot plant of about 4" high.....we decided to smoke it. Good shit? Who could tell? Good memory morning of 1970.
Quicksilver still rates right up there as one of my favorite bands....right along with Ten Years After. Happy Trails to all!!!

Very nice and cool site. Enjoy it a lot. What I would like to see is more Quicksilver Tab on the internet. And I do have a request. About two years ago there was a tab site called the "Chocolate Psychedelic Mushroom" or something like it. The guy closed it down because someone was ripping off tab he was doing and placing it on another site with no credit to him. He had a 9 page partial tab of "Gold and Silver" on it. Two guitar tab. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHO THIS GUY IS AND HOW CAN HE BE CONTACTED? I would really like to find out if he finished the tab for this song.

Acute exposure to Quicksilver produces symptoms of metallic taste, burning, irritation, salivation, vomiting, diarrhea, upper gastrointestinal tract edema, abdominal pain, and hemorrhage. Symptoms of high levels of exposure usually begin abruptly and include fever, chills, malaise, nausea, coughing, shortness of breath, chest pain and tightness; the clinical course may progress to pulmonary edema and death. In comparison, chronic inorganic Quicksilver poisoning can result in intention tremor, memory loss, insomnia, depression, irritability, excessive shyness, emotional instability, delirium, and acrodynia and may result in a nuerologic syndrome known as "mad hatter syndrome". Even so, when are quicksilver coming to the UK? I would love to see them. still have all their early albums. happy trails is a masterpiece of its time.

I came across Happy Trails in a stack of records at a street vendor's kiosk the other day and reclaimed it for the first time in about 20 years as my own. Have been listening to it almost nonstop since and must say that the Quicksilver sound is still timeless and eternally refreshing. QMS really was the originator of the "jam band" and had a unique sound that can't be copied. Thanks for creating so much great music, guys!

Yes there music has changed since Happy Trails, but people move on. I was dissapointed that they didn't reflect back, but hey they were getting ready for a road trip. All of their old fans enjoyed the show, and that's what it's all about!

BTW Greg (their roadie) is one great guy too! I spoke with him for about an hour before the show. Greg you are always welcome to stop by if your in the Folsom area.

The man who wrote and so passionately sang "Long Haired Lady," "Call on Me," "Something New," "Gone Again," "Cowboy on the Run" and many other haunting songs should, and will, never be forgotten. Every listen is a new adventure with an old friend. You are missed always, and I want to thank you for leaving these gifts behind...just for love.
