Live at Sweetwater

 Gary Duncan was a founder member of the legendary San

Franciscan band Quicksilver Messenger Service. Between

1965 and 1975 the band played literally thousands of

concerts and attracted massive critical acclaim and along

with The Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane were one of

the most influential bands to come out of San Francisco in

the sixties. Gary played on many albums released by

Quicksilver Messenger Service including Quicksilver

Messenger Service, Happy Trails, Quicksilver and Solid

Silver. Although the band effectively split in the mid

seventies Gary has quite often along with David Freiberg

reformed Quicksilver Messenger Service and toured the

world usually with Jefferson Starship which also numbers

David Freiberg as a member.

For a period from the mid eighties through to the mid

nineties and beyond Gary Duncan led his own band

Quicksilver and released a number of albums. These

albums are now being made available again once more

at the behest of Gary Duncan having been unavailable for

some time.

Live At Sweetwater is Quicksilver led by founding

members Gary Duncan and also David Freiberg. Although

a more recent recording of the band the current line up

are as musically adventurous as the original band and

really stretch out on songs like Maiden Voyage which

clocks in at over eleven minutes and Inner City which

breaks the thirteen minute barrier and certainly musically

as good as anything the original band recorded or performed.

Whilst the current line up of Quicksliver Messenger Service

continues to record and perform this recording has been

unavailable for some time since its first release in early

2007 and this release will be welcomed by the large and

dedicated cult following that Quicksilver Messenger Service

retain.
