Top Comments of this video!! :3
True story! When this first came out I basically had it memorized! Burned into my brain, every guitar note, every bass line, every drum beat, every moan & groan! Was in a record store ('member those?) with a friend, he didn't know whether to buy it or not. He hadn't heard it. I told him if he bought it and didn't like it, I'd buy it off him, full price! He said "But you already own a copy!" I said, "Don't care, it's that good. It's no-risk for me, I know you'll love it!" This was late afternoon... he had to work the midnight shift at his company. Come midnight, he called his company and quit!! "F*ck that! I'm listening to Quicksilver! Over & Over & Over!!"

Ha! It's cool to comment among a community of older (I'm not say old, we're outside that misperception) Quicksilver heads here. I'm turning 72 in May and this album has a special place for me founded when I was 19 in early 1970. It was then one of my preferred "tripping" albums...this one, Mechanical World by Spirit, Live Dead and others. John Cippolina never earned the distinction he so well deserved. I saw QMS in concert a few times and they rocked, but by the mid 70s, touring, dope, pressures from the record label and diverse adversities had worn on them. How could it not? This album is perfection in every musical, creative, and mind-fucking sense. Thanks for posting it.

For me, one of the most iconic albums of all times and definitely a piece of rock guitar history. I first heard it in 1981 at age 15, I had just discovered John Cipollina through German Rockpalast and he immediately became my guitar hero. He was so totally unlike anybody else, his playing touched something deep inside me, it was kind of like those licks brought up lost memories of a lost world, something impossible to put into words. I just knew this was for me. Of course nobody knew what I was talking about, my friends thought I was crazy since that kind of music was already considered outdated at that time, but I didn't care, I just knew what I liked. Forty years later and nothing has changed, it still gets me like it did back then.

I adore Cippi's guitarwork, but don#t forget Gary Duncan, who gave him the flint to strike sparks off of. The two together were magnificent.

I remember listing to this stuff on Aicd. God what a trip. If I could go back in time and relive 3 years of my life it would be 1968, 69 ,and 70.
