Quicksilver Messenger Service Maiden of the Cancer Moon Release Date: 1983 Label: Psycho Records A double album of live material from 1968, this duplicates a lot of the material on Happy Trails and adds considerably more. This erratic collection reflects Quicksilver's best and worst qualities: The hard-driving blend of raga/folk/psychedelic rock is fine, while the blues jams are fairly awful. Besides "Who Do You Love?" and "Mona" (two versions), this LP has covers of "Back Door Man," "Smokestack Lightning," Buffy St. Marie's "Codine," and versions of most of the songs from the first Quicksilver LP. The rendition of "The Fool" here eclipses the studio take, and the performance of "Gold and Silver" is fine except for the "Toad"-like drum solo. John Cipolina's slithery leads are consistently fine, and Quicksilver fans will find this worth the search. Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide Releases: Year Type Label 1983 LP Psycho Records
