Ainsi que:
Quicksilver Messenger Service trouve son origine dans la rencontre à San Francisco entre les chanteurs Dino Valente (également désigné sous le nom de Dino Valenti), Jimmy Murray et le guitariste John Cipollina en 1964. Tous les trois musiciens de folk-rock, ce sont des habitués des clubs de San Francisco et de ses alentours. A l'initiative de Dino Valente, le plus ambitieux des trois, l'idée de créer leur propre groupe fait rapidement son chemin. Mais le projet est remis en cause lorsque Valente est arrêté pour possession de marijuana. Pourtant, Cippolina et Murray ne désarment pas et engagent le guitariste et chanteur Skip Spence afin de remplacer Valente. Le bassiste David Freiberg est également sollicité. Spence rapidement débauché pour devenir le batteur (alors qu'il est guitariste de formation!) du Jefferson Airplane, Cipollina se tourne vers le guitariste Gary Duncan, lequel est suivi par son ami batteur Greg Elmore |
