The band that became Quicksilver Messenger Program originally was
conceived being a rock vehicle for folk singer/songwriter Dino Valente
(b. Nov. 7, 1943, d. Nov 16, 1994), writer of “GATHER.” Surviving in SAN
FRANCISCO BAY AREA, Valente had discovered guitarist John Cipollina (b.
Aug. 24, 1943, d. May 29, 1989) and vocalist Jim Murray. Valente’s
friend David Freiberg (b. Aug. 24, 1938) became a member of on bass, as
well as the group was finished with the addition of drummer Greg Elmore
(b. Sep. 4, 1946) and guitarist Gary Duncan (b. Sep 4, 1946). Because
the band had been come up with, Valente was imprisoned on the medication
charge and he didn’t rejoin Quicksilver until afterwards. They debuted
by the end of 1965 and performed across the Bay Region and the West
Coastline for another two years, accumulating a large pursuing but
resisting presents to record that were adopted by such SAN FRANCISCO BAY
AREA acid rock co-workers as Jefferson Aircraft and the Pleased
Deceased. Quicksilver finally agreed upon to Capitol toward the finish
of 1967 and documented their self-titled debut record in 1968 (by this
time around, Murray had still left). Happy Paths, the 1969 follow-up,
was documented live. Following its discharge, Duncan still left the
music group and was changed for Shady Grove (1970) by United kingdom
program pianist Nicky Hopkins. By enough time of its discharge, however,
Duncan got returned, alongside Valente, producing the group a sextet.
This edition of Quicksilver, prominently offering Valente’s tracks and
lead vocals, lasted just a year, where two albums, Simply for Appreciate
and HOW ABOUT Me, were documented. Cipollina, Freiberg, and Hopkins
after that left, and the rest of the trio of Valente, Duncan, and Elmore
employed replacements and lower another handful of albums before
disbanding. There is a reunion in 1975, producing a brand-new album
along with a tour, and in 1986 Duncan revived the Quicksilver name for
an record that also highlighted Freiberg on history vocals.
