CD Quicksilver - Live at the Field Stone

Gary Duncan was a founder member of the legendary San Franciscan band Quicksilver Messenger Service. Between 1965 and 1975 the band played literally thousands of concerts and attracted massive critical acclaim and along with The Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane were one of the most influential bands to come out of San Francisco in the sixties. Gary played on many albums released by Quicksilver Messenger Service including Quicksilver Messenger Service, Happy Trails, Quicksilver and Solid Silver. Although the band effectively split in the mid seventies Gary has quite often along with David Freiberg reformed Quicksilver Messenger Service and toured the world usually with Jefferson Starship which also numbers David Freiberg as a member.

For a period from the mid eighties through to the mid nineties and beyond Gary Duncan led his own band Quicksilver and released a number of albums. These albums are now being made available again once more at the behest of Gary Duncan having been unavailable for some time.

Live At Fieldstone was a live recording of the then line up of Quicksilver led by Gary Duncan. Recorded at the Fieldstone Winery in Healdsburg, California. The album was recorded by using two lapel microphones which fed directly into a DAT tape machine and despite the low-fi technical set up the end result is a rather fine live recording. The band included newer material in the set at this time.
