Talk:Quicksilver Messenger Service

message: Jim Guyette played bass in one of the later touring Quicksilver lineups (am trying to find out exactly when). I added his name to the Past members section but someone deleted it. Why?
:Guyette doesn't appear in the detailed list of band line-ups, further down the page, and you have admitted you are "trying to find out exactly when".I didn't remove it, so I'm just guessing, but as all material in Wikipedia should be referenced from a reliable source, whoever removed it possibly looked for a reference, couldn't find one, and removed it in accordance with Wikipedia policies.  The simple rule is find your reliable source before adding information, so you can cite it.  Unless you can come up with a source for Guyette, he is likely to be removed again. very shortly.Arjayay (talk) 09:03, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

message: I have altered the sentence in the article which reads: "According to David Freiberg, at least one of the live tracks was augmented with studio overdubs and the tracks "Calvary" and "Lady of the Cancer Moon" were recorded in the studio just before Gary Duncan left the band."
I did an extensive revsion of the article "Happy_Trails_(album)" some time ago and I have listened to the original live sessions that were once available on the net.  "Lady (sic) of the Cancer Moon" is indeed the same on the album and on the live recording.  "Mona" has a comment "This here next one's rock and roll" that was added in the studio at the beginning of side 2 of the album, which is trivial.  "Calvary", on the album, is completely different than the live version.  Some studio effects were performed on the crowd "performance" part of the "Who Do You Love Suite" to reduce the volume of some shout-outs and eliminate feedback on Duncan's remark about "trying to stand still," and Duncan's solo is missing a minute or so in the middle, perhaps because the whole suite had to be fit on a vinyl side.  There's no source for Freiberg's quote; I have taken out the reference to him. The sentence could be removed entirely with no real loss.  70.114.146.227 (talk) 19:57, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

message: Just a note to let someone know that the external link to the bands "Official" website is broken. I would try to edit the site, but I am not sure how to correctly edit. In the past, any edits that I have tried to Wikipedia have been reversed by some kind of "Bot". This seem to be a simple fix, just delete the entire link.184.4.145.229 (talk) 14:18, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

message: That's what Quicksilver Messenger Service and the Grateful Dead were affectionately known as on the west coast in the late sixties and early seventies. I don't know if its relevant enough to be put inside the article, though. 2600:8801:BE26:2700:BC73:B1:793E:6B62 (talk) 16:31, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

message: The "years active" field here shows a gap between 1996 and 2006. However, Quicksilver did tour with Jefferson Starship and other bands (with some variation from show to show) as part of the "Spirit of '67" tour in 2001. I saw them at the June 22 show at the Keswick Theater in Glenside PA, and I wrote a review of it, which was published in Harrisburg PA's now-defunct MODE magazine in their next (June 28) issue, ahead of the tour's upcoming July 7 show at Harrisburg's Whittaker Center, at which Quicksilver was also slated to perform. I no longer have the print copy, but my saved file reports the Keswick lineup as being Gary Duncan on guitar, Michael Lewis on keyboard, Greg Errico on drums, and Jim Guyett filling in for David Freiberg (who wasn't able to make this show) on bass. A recording of the last 23 1/4 minutes of their set can be found at https://archive.org/details/qms2001-06-22.sbd.partial.keswick.flac16/02+.flac . Also on archive.org ( https://archive.org/details/qms2002-09-01.sbd.flac16 ) is a recording of their September 1, 2002 performance in Pozo CA, where they opened for Canned Heat, with a lineup of  
Duncan and Guyette, along with Dale Ockerman on keyboards and guitar, and Ben Margulies on drums. This shows that they were absolutely *not* inactive during the gap that is indicated in this wiki article, but I do not have any further details to show what the entire span of their activity during those years was, so I  am not certain exactly how to change it.
