## Description

2008 archive release, a live performance by one of the most important bands to come from the San Francisco music scene of the '60s along with their contemporaries the Grateful Dead and the Jefferson Airplane. The band became one of the most popular draws in the Bay area of San Francisco and built a solid reputation as a strong live act built around a mixture of good material and what would essentially become their calling card long extended jamming pieces.. The original line up was guitarists John Cippolina and Gary Duncan alongside drummer Greg Elmore, bassist David Frieberg and vocalist Jim Murray. Eight tracks. Voiceprint.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Quicksilver Messenger Service - 'Live At The Avalon Ballroom, 1966' (Voiceprint)  3 1/2 stars
  

*by M***D on Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2014*

Sound quality for this unreleased vintage live Quicksilver Messenger Service CD definitely could've been better - but considering the age of this live recording, I thought that 'Live At The Avalon Ballroom' deserved a three-and-a-half star rating. Thoroughly enjoyed the jamming - their (apparently) live standard "Mona" as well as the interesting-sounding "If You Live, Your Time Will Come", "Dandelion", the wailing "Codeine" and the show's closer "Pride Of Man". Line-up: Gary Duncan - guitar, David Freiberg - bass & vocals, John Cipollina - guitar, Jim Murray - guitar & vocals and Greg Elmore - drums. Others have commented that this specific QMS live offering is like a good quality bootleg. I would go with that.

    Live At The Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco 1966 (three and a half stars due to sound for both)
  

*by G***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2012*

Since Amazon has both the October and November shows reviews merged, I've written reviews for both by date which are sold separately.9-9-66:First, about the sound quality: it's on par with an audience recording for the time but a fairly good one as everything sounds fairly balanced. If you're expecting a professional recording or a soundboard, you're going to be very disappointed but if you've listened to a lot of boots, then the quality won't shock you too much and the performance is good. The band line up at this time was: John, Gary, David and Greg with Jim Murray who left shortly before the band recorded it's first album.The disc itself starts out with a radio spot advertising who's going to be playing at the Avalon Ballroom that weekend. the show starts with Stand By Me which is NOT the Ben E. King song but a song written by Dino Valenti. Babe I'm Gonna Leave You sounds like one of the better versions and  Hamilton Camp's Pride Of Man is very strong. Howlin' Wolf's Smokestack Lightning is delivered in fine fashion as is Buffy Sainte-Marie's Codeine. Gold And Silver is cut short here but the disc ends with a nice Hoochie Coochie Man. Combined with the radio ad, this release actually comes across a bit more successful as a historical document. Listen to the radio ad and then imagine yourself at the Avalon Ballroom that weekend.10-28-66:This show has somewhat better sound quality as it is a soundboard although it does also have problems and isn't what you'd call "pristine".The show opens with a band introduction as the band jumps into a smoking version of Mona that has some knockout playing. Jim takes over for a take on Mose Allison's If You Live Your Time Will Come. The following Smokestack Lightning is it's usual powerful self. Dandelion and a cover of Del Shannon's Runaway are pleasant surprises while Buffy Sainte-Marie's Codeine and Hamilton Camp's Pride of Man are both very well done.
