 Best album of the late 60s November 1, 2008
Jens (Montreal)
Along with the self-titled first album by The Doors, this album represents the best of the psychedelic jam albums released during the late 60s. Quicksilver dared to do on vinyl what they did live, while most bands offered only short, radio-friendly three-minute songs on their albums. This first album by the band is all you need (perhaps along with "The Best of Quicksilver Messenger Service") to understand why they are so representative what was good about the music that era. "Side one" on the record is one long jam on "Who Do You Love," performed live at the Fillmore Auditorium. That song and "Mona" (another long jam) were written by Ellis McDaniels(aka Bo Diddly), of which "Mona" retains the strongest sense of the Bo Diddly spirit. "Calvary" is another jam gem, but given the cowboy imagery that the band projected, one wonders if they simply misspelled "Cavalry" for the title, suggesting a religious connotation. Regardless, it's another great improvisation. If you even remotely like 60s psychedelic music, you need this CD. By the way, the "[Live]" label on the title is slightly misleading.
great classic psychedelic blues rock jam album August 9, 2008
Judah Garber
Imagine Jerry Garcia at his peak, with all 10 fingers intact, though with a lesser band. Most songs are quite strong, though Calvalry suffers from some of the spacey self-indulgence of the era (cf Dead's Caboose).
Quicksilver at the Filmore February 14, 2008

A rare live album of a much underated 60's band. Excellent guitar playing with the usual long solos that were a part of live 60's performances. This album, I think I am right in saying was rated in the top 200 of all time by Rolling Stone magazine. I thoroughly recommend it!
QMS : Best Expressive Acid Jam Band Ever February 6, 2008
Space Intelligences
Happy Trails by The QMS is branded forever in our memory,
and especially its
Who, When, Where, How and Which Do You Love
(Bo Diddley reworks) on this splendid piece of
esoteric electric guitar masterpiece.
It is fine buy with a very long playlist.
Cipollina, Duncan and Others are superb.
(Even if they spent time in lock-up for enjoying Life,
in harmless peace-loving pursuits of flowerful happiness,
rather than bombing the Jungle Life of SE Asia in a
War Criminal War of extreme hypocrisy...)
The audience joins in with clapping and chanting in
complete harmony at times...
Happy Trails really brings back
vivid colourful memories, tinged with
rainbow electric iridescence...
Mona (originally by Bo Diddley), Calvary and Maiden
of the Cancer Moon, with their strange eerie vibes,
are worthy as unusual experimental music art.
QMS is one band we hope to remember and listen to
in the AfterLife.
We heard QMS greatly live at Mammoth Gardens in Denver
in the late 1960's and also enjoyed those colourful
psychedelic Fillmore West mandala Postcards.
Please Avoid Smoking in Flight...
Take Another Hit...
Of Fresh Air !
Happy Trails To You...
Until We Meet Again...
Bo Diddley lives ! December 8, 2007
Alain Robert (Quebec)
A crazy 25 minutes jamming with "Who do you love" plus a splendid "Mona" from Diddley and a still more crazy "calvary", with a funny 45 sec. country tune... and all that before Nicky Hopkins joins the band. QMS is one the the most underated groupe in classic rock.
