WHERE'S THE BACKUP FROM A NOISE BRO? everyone must be down

Pash, maybe? he might hate them. but wait! I know Pash is a big Man fan!! and a big High Tide fan to boot... so how about it, Pash my friend: down w/ JC's crazy tremolo? or no go?

White Heaven fans also can reprazent, of course...

"The Fool", "Cavalry" .. two of the most fantastic rock brain-splay improvs ever . Derek Bailey *could* have done them, but wouldn't, the stubborn fuck. it was left to our hero. and, sure, he left the Quackenbush boys in SRC in his wake .. and that is a beautiful thing.

Yeah Cippolina was fucking great, really good fluid & effortless playing & awesome guitar tone as well. Vibrato somewhat like uh, memory fails, the guy from the misunderstood. Someone else who rep seems to have dropped off the map, I can't remember the last time I saw him get mentioned in a guitar magazine, though obv he was better known in the '70's. ppl should study the way he played & try to play more like that. "Silver and Gold" is my favourite & fuck, I wish he hadn't died so soon (see also randy california)

Weirdly enough, one Man album I've never heard is "Maximum Darkness".

you know the 2 High Tide albums are getting reissued w/extra tracks!

I don't know if they found the master tapes or not, I hope so.

first s/t Quicksilver LP might be my favorite SF psych record

HAPPY TRAILS is ok, a bit noodley

I like the gtr/piano interplay on SHADY GROVE

JUST FOR LOVE & WHAT ABOUT ME is where my attention flags a bit

sort of a cliche comparison, but J Cipollina + T Verlaine?

I only came to this thread to post a picture of cicciolina...

he ruled. i don't even own a copy of the first quicksilver album, which is sad. i can never find a used copy that isn't beat to shit. i like the later stuff too.

Probably my favorite US guitarist from the period.

That's some magical stuff, isn't it? Look at Cipollina's hair, you know he must have been growing it since '65 at least. Man, I wish he was still alive.

it's fun to imagine what the people in the audience look like now

Dark haired hippie chick @ 1.52 is <3<3<3. She'll probably be sixty now! Easy to forget just how long ago "the summer of love" is now.

― Pashmina, Monday, 18 February 2008 12:44 (eighteen years ago)

Now I want a Gibson SG with a Bigsby Tremelo.

― Pashmina, Monday, 18 February 2008 13:01 (eighteen years ago)

re: dark haired hippie chick, isn't the big cold sore sort of a deal breaker?

― moonship journey to baja, Monday, 18 February 2008 16:49 (eighteen years ago)

Ach, I never even noticed that. Way to harsh the buzz, dude :(

the other dark haired hippie girl, the one in the floral dress, she looks totally wasted.
