QUICKSILVER MESSENGER SERVICE Fillmore Auditorium Feb 4th, 1967 (2010 Russian limited edition 19-track 2-LP set pressed on 180gram VIRGIN VINYL - finally available to fans after more than four decades in the vaults, this live performance at San Francisco’s Fillmore Auditorium [captured on February 4th 1967] is a delicious early glimpse at one of the architects of West Coast acid rock in the months leading up to the Summer of Love. Although the band had been playing live all around the Bay Area since 1965, their official Capitol Records debut would not come out until the following year, making this album a rare opportunity to hear what the band sounded like a full year prior, and as a five-piece [singer/harmonica player Jim Murray quit the band before their debut was recorded, and the band continued from that point on as a four-piece]. It also features original intended front man, and future QMS member Dino Valenti [best known for having written the hippy anthem 'Get Together'], performing several of his own songs, not heard on any other album!).
