By all the gods of rock and blues, I have never heard anyone else do the things to an SG that he did. All these years later, and I am still right back there before the first four bars are done.
Bonsoir, quand vous avez entendu Cobra et l’album Happy Trails, vous reconnaissez immédiatement le jeu, le son et l’immense talent de ce guitariste sous-estimé et méconnu en France. J’ai bientôt 78 ans et écoute chaque fois avec le même plaisir/ frisson les 2 premiers albums de QSMS et son guitariste fabuleux ❤ Merci UA-cam de nous permettre de le voir en live👍👍
Nick's vocals, sooo good in this tune. Edit: listening again and I think it really stinks that so many people will never get to understand the vibe we experienced seeing stuff like this performed live, maybe better off though, lol. Jorma had it going on too, such an experience to see Friscan bands live.
Superguitarrista Cipollina..RIP.. QMS hizo la mejor versión de este tema.. por cierto, algunas de las tías que bailan están bastante buenas en ese 1983....como yo estaba también...
anytime a John Cippolina video comes on you know its a great day and with drummer Greg Elmore. If Nick Gravenites had only written Born In Chicago he is still a legend. thanks for posting my favorite QMS tune.
@@mybingobrain yeah, i know i always liked QMS version better than Camp's. Hey..your profile photo and mine met a few times in the movies, Wild One, One Eyed Jacks
@@mybingobrain Just want to set the record straight. I had the privilege and pleasure of meeting Greg Elmore at a birthday party for Nick Gravenites, about 10 years ago, and we had a great conversation! So, down the line, it looks like he came out of that okay!
Could you believe that the beautiful girl (Patty Santos) of the band "It's a beautiful day" was married to Nick Gravenites at the time?! What a lucky guy!
IMHO, one of the things that stands out with Cipollina's playing, compared to other rock guitarists, is that when he solos he just doesn't just play a scale like he's playing over one chord. He plays through the chord changes and his soloing reflects the chord changes. Of course there are a bunch of other unique things about his playing/style but that to me is the most important one.
@@written12 yeah good point; Garcia did it too. You know what’s a good example of that? I know there are many but ‘Ship of Fools’ on the Mars Hotel LP always stood out for me. I’m referring to the solo he takes at the end of the tune. He hooks into the chords and the melody while soloing. I think it’s some of his best work in the confines of a song (as opposed to long extended jamming).
Cipollina killing it, as always.
My brain melts when I hear Mr. Cipollina. Never saw this before, I’m in music heaven. Thanks very much for sharing.
I saw them in Athens Greece in 1989 only weeks before Cippolina's passing.
I really miss Cippolina because he was one of the "hearts and souls" that made San Francisco a special place when so many folks were flashing'.
By all the gods of rock and blues, I have never heard anyone else do the things to an SG that he did. All these years later, and I am still right back there before the first four bars are done.
Happy people dancing. Those were the days.
wow, that right hand playing, almost sensual
Cipollina YES, and I always liked Greg Elmore's distinctive drumming.
John and Nick, man they were the best ever.
Excellent
Rare glimpse of Nick without his signature coat.

Thanks for showing this clip. I have always appreciated the talents of Nick Gravenites & John Cipollina.✌️

Wow! Thanks for posting! That sound...!
WoW ! Quicksilver and Electric Flag. I never knew they had a group. This is awesome footage. Thanks !
Great Quicksilver Song keep posting Nick
Gravenites was a heck of a good singer. Wish I was old enough to drive out to where any band of his was playing back in the day

Written by Hamilton Camp and covered by many artists. A great song!

Terrific.
Le groove excellentt. Bonjour de la chaine la rapologie
Bravo-excellent
I’m in this!
What time is it? 1983? Time to make timeless muisc.
Really like the drummer.
He had a bad acid trip in 1968 or so according to Gary Duncan's wife, and never spoke a word ever again but continued to play drums.

Very good .very top

I believe Gravenites is great.
What the hell?? 🤘 🤘🤘🤘💥💥💥🤘🤘🤘

Garcia did that as well, at least when soloing on songs. I agree- it makes the solos much more compelling.
