Up in a sterilized room
Where they let you be lazy
Knowin' your attitude's all wrong
And you gotta change and that's not easy....

thanks for pointing out that Foxy Lady jam...

Where the cities are built in the walls
Across the Playa she flies
Just Donna Juanita and I...

RIP - Greg Elmore - drummer for Quicksilver Messenger Service, The Brogues, Terry and the Pirates (Terry Dolan, John Cipollina) - A super great drummer and really nice guy. He will be missed as he was loved by all. Second from left on the roof of John Cipollina's King Street house/Mill Valley CA

they eventually got a gold record for "Happy Trails"

Most of the album was recorded from two performances at the Fillmore East and Fillmore West, although it is not clear which parts were recorded at which Fillmore. The record was released by Capitol Records in stereo. If the quintessential San Francisco Sound is defined by lengthy improvised guitarwork and near-telepathic interplay, then Happy Trails crystallizes the genre on record. Extemporizing mightily two Bo Diddley songs ("Who Do You Love" and "Mona," the quartet introduces new realms of expression to rock music. Guitarists John Cipollina and Gary Duncan offer contrasting textures and sound, goading each other to greater heights. Bassist David Freiberg's bass lines are exceptional throughout. Largely recorded live in concert, Happy Trails encapsulates an era of experimentation, employing images that embodied the outlaw chic of the hippie subculture. Its strengths are not, however, bound to that era; the album's mesmerizing power remains as true as ever. The George Hunter cover painting is also indispensable.

"Happy Trails" is the second album by Quicksilver Messenger Service, released on March 29, 1969. It reached #27 on the Billboard 200 Top LP's chart. In 2003, it was ranked #189 in Rolling Stone's "The 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time
