Dino Valente, who also wrote the great 60's anthem "Let's Get Together", also known as "Get Together" and "Everybody Get Together" popularized by the Youngbloods, sold the rights to that song to pay for legal fees for getting caught SMOKING WEED and being thrown in prison for chrissakes.

    Now boys and girls this is a true blast from the past! Hit out local rock transmitter in '70, trouble was it was AM ick! Then I discovered rock radio WPHD FM Buffalo, NY, and as they say the rest is history! Managed to save enough from my partime job to get a real old FM tuner for my sound system and thought I had the world in palm of my hand. I mean 24-7 rock in well sort of stereo didn't get better than that! Made getting thru high school a lot less painful to say the least, didn't hurt getting thru of Enginneering School either. For some reason calculus, physics and linear circuits didn't hurt as much a 3:00 am with this type of stuff to listen to! Bell well and safe, peaceto you and yours.

    Pure F***ing hard driving and total ROCK!! QMS, so little fanfare, and flying underneath the radar of 70's great bands...This live version rocks me and reminds me that ROCK will FOREVER RULE.

      James Sommer how young are you? I was born in 1960 in a dive called Newark CA I could see down town SF from my west window took some of the most beautiful color sunset photos but if you missed a concert you never got to see it again. Oh someone in the band filmed them but we didn't get to see archived concerts untill MTV.. that's when all us old folks answered the MTV call for old filmed concert, then suddenly Cable decided to go all digital so as things progress it really got better. You're happy to be alive right here right now? Me too but I am glad I went to concerts back then and lived all these decades to hear music for the absolute joy of just hearing it the way it makes me feel......

    Living on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, made possible to see many national and International touring bands. QuickSilver were so frequently doing live shows all throughout the years of their hay days. I always, so enjoyed, their unique brand to melodies, and being a professional musician from 1963 till today, I still enjoy their sound.

      I've read a good few times where liking Dino's voice was or is an "acquired taste". Maybe so but not so for me. I remember being 12 or 13 years old when my aunt's then boyfriend put the studio version of Fresh Air on the stereo and I was instantly captivated. Here was a guy who was not maybe a "technical" singer but had a unique sound to his voice and he not only knew it but knew how to use it. Probably his best talent though was writing songs that matched his voice perfectly....sadly missed.
