Spectacular sounboard studio recording never circulated before straight from a John's master that was given to me by him as a gift for my birthday. A copy of this tape was sent by me to SK some years ago, so it was a first generation tape, now i decided to share this master, cause it does not make any sense that other friends like all of you are cannot listen to this beauty. Obviously, being this tape a
rehearsal , most of the songs are not complete and some drops are present sometimes....you know the deal and enjoy it !

Quicksilver Messenger Service: "The Fool" Outtakes & Rehearsals 1967 FLAC

Quicksilver Messenger Service - "The Fool" Outtakes & Rehearsals, Capitol Studios, San Francisco, California, December 9th, 10th & 11th 1967 complete tape, uncirculated in this form, Soundboard.

1. The Fool take 7 + 6 inserts for take 9
2. The Fool take 3 +
3. The Fool instrumental version take 4 * (unbelivable version)
4-9. The Fool takes 1, 2, 5, 6 inserts for take 9
10. The Fool take 9

+Sid Page on violin
*Possibly David LaFlamme is the guy that plays violin, but unconfirmed.

OU: I took forever, weeks of researches to exactly configure this reel to reel tape, that i had there laying down....well, this is the mother tape of all the other tapes circulating as "1st lp outtakes". I had a dozen of tapes as "1st lp outtakes", so i checked them one by one, including the recent one circulating in different Cipollina's trees as JC master #80. Well i found out that all those versions of the Fool, are taken from this tape, and this is the only tape that have all them together! So probably it happened that in the years somebody took pieces from this tape and mixed those versions with the other songs of the 1st lp. I'm sure of this cause the 1st lp was recorded piece by piece between late 1967 and early 1968, and they had different days and months in which they were rehearsing and recording 1 particular song, so the point is that there are whole tapes with the recording of each song, but all the tapes in circulation were assembled taking songs from a lot of different tapes. So, for example, the session of the fool for the album official release took place December 19th 1967, so the date i had on the reel to reel box make sense, even if it is not certain. Hope i gave you something to enjoy and discuss about it.....

First generation reel to reel (revox) > amplifiers > tascam audio cdrw750 > cd > computer > plex tool professional XL > wav > flac.
No EQ was used this time, tape not needed any......just a raw recording like it originally was done.

Jefferson Starship's Mission Control was kind enough to let their fans in. Tom Constanten only got to play one song during the announcement of the Cannabis Cup Awards.

Quicksilver Messenger Service: Earliest Known Soundboard Recording 1966 (FLAC)

This may be the earliest known live performance of the Quicksilver Messenger Service. It does not appear to be circulating. I transferred it from a cheap 1980s cassette which was labeled as The Matrix, SF, mid '66. I was able to find information on the Internet which narrows the date down to August 9-10, 1966. I don't know which date this is, and there are several cuts in the tape, so it could be from both dates. Since there are no duplicate songs, I assume it's all from one night, possibly multiple sets.
Interesting to me, and possibly confirming this as an early show, are the lyrics to track 14. "Hair Like Sunshine" is on several other Quicksilver recordings, but on this one, the lyrics are completely different for the first part of the song: no Hair Like Sunshine, for example. The second part of the song is as usual. Track 2 is also unique as far as I know, and I'm not sure of the title. The source tape had tracks 7-16 as Side A and tracks 1-6 as Side B but I switched them; seems more correct with the incomplete Mona at the end. Tracks 1-6 sound slightly better too.

Recording quality is listenable but not great. This is a very primitive stereo soundboard tape.
