    John Cippolina's opening lead on Happy Trails is one of the greatest guitar leads in the history of rock and roll. It screams what the scene was like in the city. More than 50 years later I haven't heard anything better . We were incredibly lucky to have witnessed the future in our own time.

      Yes, you are right, from the beginning a tour of unique guitars begins, thinking that soon everything could end but finishing the first side, the second begins with the same great motifs, arriving at the song "Calvary" where the final epitaph is performed playing it all down for a bite of seconds "Happy Trails" Ave Rock, 2023.✌✌

      Proud 108, I agree with you for the most part, however a close listen to the solos on the ":Who do you Love" suite reveals Gary Duncan as the true "guitar hero" of QMS. Cipollina was good, in fact very good. He relied however on two particular tricks: use of a Bigsby vibrato and finger picks.
      Again, a close listen to the two solos will reveal my point. Duncan's solo just sounds better. It sounds like he knew where he wanted to go from one section of his solo to the next section. There are no wasted notes. Each section leads seamlessly to the next with no pauses or thinking about "What should I do next?". Gary's solo truly is a lesson for most lead guitarists. I'm a bassist so I can make that comment. :> Cipollina seems to be playing the same riff until he figures out where to go next. The pauses and seams are apparent.
      Granted this is my opinion though I have listened to this recording many, many times and have concentrated on the solos. This is not to disparage Cipollina who I saw and talked with many times. However, my general point is the sheer musicality of Gary's solo versus the stitched together sound of Cipollina's on this recording.

      @@stephengorin2685 Thanks for sharing your opinion. But I don't agree at all. Fact is, both guys brought the best out of each other. Duncan and Cipollina were doing dual leads years before The Allmans and The Dead. NOBODY sounded like John, he stood apart from all the other guitarists just because he was so different in his approach. In my opinion, the band sounded like crap after Cipollina left in 1970 and they came across just like every other mediocre 70's band. The only innovative guitar work on their only hits, Fresh Air and What About Me is easily Cipollina's stuff and you can tell it's him in 3 notes. Duncan is flashy but sounds like every other San Fran guitar player, it could be anybody. Cipollina did some interesting work with other bands after QMS, especially Copperhead/Zero/Man/ Gravenites etc. , but everything that I've ever heard from Duncan is boring and uninspired like he was trying to cash in on Quicksilver's name. The band that Freiberg and Duncan put together to tour under the QMS name to open before Starship over these past few years was a joke to this once awesome band's legacy. I don't think either one of them did anything better than what they recorded together 67-70.

    True story! When this first came out I basically had it memorized! Burned into my brain, every guitar note, every bass line, every drum beat, every moan & groan! Was in a record store ('member those?) with a friend, he didn't know whether to buy it or not. He hadn't heard it. I told him if he bought it and didn't like it, I'd buy it off him, full price! He said "But you already own a copy!" I said, "Don't care, it's that good. It's no-risk for me, I know you'll love it!" This was late afternoon... he had to work the midnight shift at his company. Come midnight, he called his company and quit!! "F*ck that! I'm listening to Quicksilver! Over & Over & Over!!"

      I was born in 1955. Luckily, I had older sisters with taste who played new music, Dylan, Hendrix, etc.. Quicksilver hit me in my soul with their guitar playing that didn't rely on copying old blues like most bands did. They took Bo Didley on some of their songs but used it to go places that were unknown on our planet.. To this day, I can close my eyes and go through the entire album note for note, like you, in my head. The music is so memorable.

    Ha! It's cool to comment among a community of older (I'm not say old, we're outside that misperception) Quicksilver heads here. I'm turning 72 in May and this album has a special place for me founded when I was 19 in early 1970. It was then one of my preferred "tripping" albums...this one, Mechanical World by Spirit, Live Dead and others. John Cippolina never earned the distinction he so well deserved. I saw QMS in concert a few times and they rocked, but by the mid 70s, touring, dope, pressures from the record label and diverse adversities had worn on them. How could it not? This album is perfection in every musical, creative, and mind-fucking sense. Thanks for posting it.

    For me, one of the most iconic albums of all times and definitely a piece of rock guitar history. I first heard it in 1981 at age 15, I had just discovered John Cipollina through German Rockpalast and he immediately became my guitar hero. He was so totally unlike anybody else, his playing touched something deep inside me, it was kind of like those licks brought up lost memories of a lost world, something impossible to put into words. I just knew this was for me. Of course nobody knew what I was talking about, my friends thought I was crazy since that kind of music was already considered outdated at that time, but I didn't care, I just knew what I liked. Forty years later and nothing has changed, it still gets me like it did back then.

I can't believe our mother's let us go, dropped us off there, our dad's were officers in Vietnam and didn't realize what we would be exposed to living on North Shore Oahu while they were away, Lol! We had been smoking pot for a while by then and were stoned to the point of nearly hallucinating surrounded by wild hairy freaks out of their minds on acid stomping all around us. All day festival with Quicksilver, Big Brother and the Holding company, Chambers Brothers, Linda Ronstadt and Stone Ponies and fantastic Steve Miller before he wet commercial. Some others of note that I can't recall.
    If you love these guys and Big Brother don't miss this film, the best documentary ever on the genesis of the 60s SF music scene!
    In1987 I moved to San Francisco and we went drinking in Virginia City all through the 90s on ski weekends at Tahoe, lots of fantastic 1800s saloons there but we had no idea of the history of the Red Dog until I found this film years later.

    The year was 1976. It was the coldest day of the year in Northfield, Minnesota. 15 of us were crammed into a triple dorm room, tripping our brains out. We played a side of this, then a side of Ry Cooder's "Paradise and Lunch," and then the flip sides of both albums. Over and over and over.
    I found that, somehow, I had donned a full-length gorilla suit. How? I have no idea. But I realized then, dressed as a gorilla and listening to Chip and Duncan, that this was the very moment of absurdity I had been waiting for. I took out my fucking draft card, held it aloft, and set it on fire.

    Hi there, out in space!
    Me wanna to say something about this plate full of stran ge music, that must be heard by the people, loving the community with other people, which are playing very good sounds, like this ‼️✨🎶🎵
    No more dudel di & dudel dei. This is a band, which is caught at the endless battle of the time, if season is over by 1977. Only a few hundred people saved it, to the mod ern time. We have to be grateful for that heartblood and soul, to the fact of mus ic.
    I guess, I am here the only person for to listen to the band. I am still a collector of the time past and yester day. Also today & tomorrow night, I will have the right thing, to have for you & me too. I rather have the same like, that I had have in the beginning of collect. This is impossible to get! But this is a thing, that had been done once & not ever. It is powerful blues- rock music from the Southern. The same public, the things we all like to do, or listen to. More spain, than britain. Believe that, listen to. It is worth it for. All that time, I am detecting 5 from 10 or 11 vynils. I like the style, I love the music & I love it, so much more than Ikeep Weeky and plastic bags, where I put them in. The music was on the vinylpla te!!! Got it, was so exciting & powerful. Don't know, what happened. Today I have not any vinyls, also no cover paper or anything else. Remember the poster picture, you get by buying the Pink Floyd "Meddle"& "Dark side of the moon"??
    Now, data on a cloud, which is impersonal, not to grab or hold. Nor even seen! But it works...
    ❗lean on the back of the track. It is powerful enough, for the pleasure of listening to the music. It is a savage land.... And we all know it. U need to listen to it, when you're in the world, with a name that sounds good to you. Not any of the other members will be able to keep u happy and clean. Also the ballance is a bit more like a private piece of a song that is not mine. The only thing that counts, is a very piece of dirt inside. You know, what you want to do. Especially, if you are doing well in peace. Greetz from😎 Trancematic2000 ™ aka Gary
    P.S. If u want to walk in my shoes... U need to know somethings more about it. And don't close ur eyes so often, u do.

Quicksilver, a great jam band and Carlin, among the top five of stand-up comedians of all time.

      I was lucky enough to see George in concert about a year before he died.. His live show was so much better than those HBO specials...

      saw them at Oriental Theater Milwaukee. Don't remember year, with Brewer&Shippley opening for them. They pulled up in a big limo. I was young and impressed, but their show was one i won't forget. excellent!

    This album was popular while I was stationed at Chanute U. S. Air Force Base (just outside Rantoul, Illinois but is now closed). How great to hear it again! Sounds even better now !

    Quicksilver started burning up my turntable in the early seventies and hasn’t stopped. John really cut out a sound that can’t be denied as simply great, Gary was a fine and talented addition.
