5.0 out of 5 stars This album is great!!, September 22, 1999
By A Customer
The piano work on this album is absolutely phenomenal. This album is a musician's dream. The intense instrumental lines, especially in Edward, the Mad Shirt Grinder and Shady Grove, really make this collection into a must have.

4.0 out of 5 stars Shady Grove-great album but..., March 6, 2005
Quicksilver Messenger Service, in the sixties, was my favorite band so when they came out with Shady Grove I was very interested. Here was a familiar band but without someone very necessary, Gary Duncan, although now with my all time favorite piano player, Nicky Hopkins. Certainly, this was going to be a different sounding band and the lack of that second guitar would be a missing, intrinsic flavor but this addition was very intriguing.
I saw them live at the Filmore East when they released the album, and to me it was a great; great concert and I felt at the time it promised great things to come from the band. I did realize then that this was a transitional album at best, but with the addition of Nicky it was good enough. Certainly, the material was not as good as it had been nor were the performances as fiery BUT this was such a different sound I was prepared to give it more than a chance.
Quicksilver was never the writing machine that The Dead or The Airplane was, but there had always been something in their performances that more than made up for the lack of writing talent and now that they had Hopkins all that remained for them to blast off was the return of Duncan, which would happen soon enough. (Unfortunately with the eventual return of Duncan came the return/addition of Dino Valenti, let's just say not my favorite singer and leave it at that.)
So I was happy enough with Shady Grove and knowing what might be in the future I was even happier.
Unfortunately, those things never did come to pass and the band sort of faded into obscurity while releasing several mediocre albums.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shady Grove my honey..., November 4, 2008
In the 60's, the SF Bay group Quicksilver Mess Serv was the best in concert. Edward the organ grinder took many young hearts away from faint breasts. Listen to a calssic and pretend that the newer groups can try to do better. (Nah, you won't believe it either.)

4.0 out of 5 stars Very underrated album
The first two Quicksilver albums are among the classics of the era. No doubt about it. They had a great talent for long, exploratory jams that really took you on that acid trip... Read more
