Grateful Dead

Oneshow - my favourite live Quicksilver album was recorded at the Fillmore on the above date. It has been released numerous times - the best cd version I have is a double, on the Purple Pyramid Records label. It was played about 5 months before the "Happy Trails" live sections, and features 3 of the same songs, plus 5 from the first album ( also worth getting) and 4 covers. It's higher energy than " Happy Trails" - quite a different feel to it. It hasn't got perfect sound quality - but it's easily good enough to my ears. One of the best live albums by anybody that I've ever heard.

I first got an incomplete version of it on vinyl, about 1983, on an album called "Maiden of the Cancer Moon". That sounds good - but it's not all there.
The worst version I have is on the " Lost Gold and Silver" double cd that came out about 20 years ago.

On the little system today as the big one sounds muddy lately.
Crikey! There's a rabbit hole waiting to happen.
DR's review pretty spot on. 4th disc has it going on. Love the pace.
Just two great solid shows. Maybe not monumental but good clean fun.
Sound is excellent despite my previously mentioned issue with the bass on 10-1.
Going to keep this in the on deck circle for another listen in a month or so.
Cheers

Need more Quicksilver. Happy Trails LP is all I've got. Has that live Fillmore Who Do You Love and that great western cover art.
Edit: Just cranked that Happy Trails LP on the big system and it sounded great! Very clean LP and no lack of clarity. That rabbit hole is just some little devil on my shoulder saying you need an expensive CD player.

Billy - thanks for the tips -I'll check those out later. I never knew about Quicksilver backing Little Walter. I have noticed that there is an album called "Live at the Old Mill Tavern 3/29/70" on which they jam for about 20 minutes with James Cotton. The reviews of the album I have read say that is the best part of the show. This is the version of the band with Nicky Hopkins, as well as the two dynamite guitarists, so it should be worth hearing.

This got mentioned to me the other day. I downloaded 3 shows off the archive.

They sound ok, worth checking.

There is a cool clip of Quicksilver playing Mona 8/15/69 at Sonoma State College. Also the cool video from Monterey Pop Festival, which you probably have seen. When Little Walter came out here in 1966 Quicksilver backed him at the Matrix Club. They brought Pig Pen over to hang out with him since Pig Pen was a drinker, they felt that they would get along.

Thanks, got two different versions of Who Do You Love,,,,, one at 19 minutes and one at 27 minutes.

Both recordings sound alright.

I'm surprised this one hasn't sold out yet. Usually, a Dave's Picks sells out in hours or a day or 2.

My buddy feeds me all the D&C shows, he missed out on 1/14/23.

Anyone get a copy they're willing to share or trade for?

Mr Ones - I was a bit surprised myself. Apparently they re-grouped briefly to promote the reunion album "Solid Silver"-which I've never heard. Another good clip of late period Quicksilver is a live 19 minute version of "Who Do You Love" from 12/1/73. Good sound, but terrible picture. They seem to have a ghost dancing on stage with them during this one.
I really enjoyed Dave's 45 - both shows. The final cd is the one...but first sets always seem good to me from around this time, too. To be honest, it was a couple of weeks since I played it, and I've forgotten the details ! But I know I liked it all and I'm glad I got it. I would say they are a good couple of shows from the timespan.

DAVEROCK, I’m surprised to learn that there is a good QMS show from 1975. I will look it up and listen. Thanks for the tip.
Waiting to see your feedback from #45. Did I miss it already??
