January 6th, 2009 at 16:35:17 Quicksilver were active in S.F. years before Santana came on the scene in '68-9(Fillmore, Avalon, etc.)
January 6th, 2009 at 16:58:16 Yeah, by the time this was recorded (the Fillmore farewell concerts were early July 1971) Cipollina was in a band called Copperhead.
January 6th, 2009 at 17:21:15 That's Duncan on lead guitar. The lineup for this show: gary duncan david freiberg dino valente greg elmore mark ryan chuck steaks
January 6th, 2009 at 17:44:14 is that greg elmore on solo who s in the band at this point no cippolina looks like freiberg s there
January 6th, 2009 at 18:07:13 I don't think this is John Cippolina playing here. He was a thumpick man, and the guy doing the lead gtr solo is using a flat pick. The style is substantially different. Cippolina was a more distintive user of the whammy bar.
January 6th, 2009 at 18:30:12 Enjoy my friend Suzie!!! Can you remember?
January 6th, 2009 at 18:53:11 Really? Watch the vid again. He adds a few nice chords & notes, but not much continuity or substance. And his solo? Well...that's just my opinion.
January 6th, 2009 at 19:16:10 I agree. He had a lot of health problems. Probably why he was not at this performance. Although, he was much in demand as a keyboardist, and may have been at a recording studio somewhere. And, he was more of a studio musician than a performer. But I admire him for that. I'd rather listen to a musician than a thespian any day.
January 6th, 2009 at 19:39:09 nicky never got the accolades he should have, right? he was the Best!!
January 6th, 2009 at 20:02:08 best version i've heard.
January 6th, 2009 at 20:25:07 The band went through a major change when Dino Valente aka Chester Powers joined. He's the lead singer on this tape. Before him they were much more instrumental blues/jam orientated. Their some time guitarist John Cipollina played with a few other bands, saw him with a band in Guerneville Ca in 82. His bro Mario played with Huey Lewis.
January 6th, 2009 at 20:48:06 They developed about the same time in the same music scene. It would be really hard to say who influenced who.
January 6th, 2009 at 21:11:05 who came first? Santana or these guys? This sounds like it could be a Santana song....
January 6th, 2009 at 21:34:04 Wait, how does a communist ban shit for not adhering to religious values?
January 6th, 2009 at 21:57:03 They were, and still are, hugely underrated...but they were making history. John is one of the most inspiring guitarists that I have ever heard in my life.
January 6th, 2009 at 22:20:02 Truly the quintessential 60's Frisco band. Their sound embodies the time! A great video that is greatly appreciated !!
January 6th, 2009 at 22:43:01 hahaha if only americans were as smart
January 6th, 2009 at 23:06:00 watching that guy play guitar 3 minutes into it is worth watching the whole thing.
January 6th, 2009 at 23:28:59 I saw these guys in concert many moons ago. All I can say is WOW!
January 7th, 2009 at 23:51:58 Duncan is a good guitarist, but no he isn't as good as Cippollina was, few were.
January 7th, 2009 at 00:14:57 Cip had left the band by this point; he did contribute on the studio version released in '70.
January 7th, 2009 at 00:37:56 lol Casting an absentee ballot from New Zealand, are we? :)
January 7th, 2009 at 01:00:55 stop moaning folks and go get see Gary Duncans Quicksilver while you can...before communist hussein obama govt bans all music as unislamic
January 7th, 2009 at 01:23:54 I didn't know Gary Duncan was as good as John Cipollina, I always thought the lead guitar on this song was by John.
January 7th, 2009 at 01:46:53 good thanks!
