"Pride Of Man" since May of 68!


It didn't take long for the 1968 debut from Quicksilver Messenger Service to make an impact. As the author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" and a former radio disc-jockey, I am often asked to write and or discuss various music supplies and recordings from the 60's and 70's. The leadoff tune "Pride Of Man" (Written by Hamilton Camp in 1964) would become synonymous with David Freiberg. To this day he performs it as a member of the Jefferson Starship. "Light Your Windows" is beauty in motion. The words flow flawlessly and the only shortcoming is the length of the tune not reaching three minutes. Dino Valente's "Dino's Song" follows in all its brilliance. Dino was in jail at the time of the recording sessions. The artistry of the song is without a flaw. The vocals are delivered with conviction and the instrumentation has a sincerity attached. "Gold And Silver" (Instrumental) lets the guitars of John Cipollina and Gary Duncan take center stage. If the production sounds exceptional during the high-energy display, give thanks to Nick Gravenites (Electric Flag) and Harvey Brooks (Miles Davis and Electric Flag to name only a couple) behind the scenes. "It's Been Too Long" continues with terrific instrumentation and a solid vocal. To end a memorable debut the twelve minute "The Fool" lets you encompass the many facets of QMS. May 1968 forever etched in the minds of those in and around San Francisco.


Enjoy the music and be well,

A different time...A different place!
Either one of them is worth the price. There are 2 instrumentals on this album ,as I remember. Gold & Silver requires a color organ & a big splif of gold. Sit back & it will take you on a ride through the hills on your Triumph. The wind will blow through your long locks & you'll smell the hot tar & honeysuckle as you move up then down. I haven't heard it in 30 years but I'm buying it tonight.
I'm a trucker who has to take random piss tests so there won't be any splif of gold for me. I've long ago tired of the fairies & elves sneaking into my bedroom at night & tying my hair in knots so there won't be any of the blowing thing either but I know I'll experience the rest of it. Give it a listen ex hippies. It;ll make you 30 years younger.
