Quicksilver Messenger Service - What About Me - 12/28/1975 - Winterland (Official) 

This song could just as easily serve as an anthem for our current situation in the world today as much as it did when it came out.

@@dougoverhoff7568 sure feels like it 😢

@@KittyGrizGriz 👍

Awesome song..so relevant ..then....and now !!

apparently it is meaningless too, since man has not learned a damn thing in 50 years

Actually back then it was liberals crying about conservatives! But now the situation is reversed! It’s the evil liberals that are ruining the country!

Actually back then it was the “ evil conservatives “-, but now it’s the evil liberals!

Actually the “ issues “ he’s talking about, the liberals are the evil ones now!

He was probably singing about the “ evil republicans “, but now everything he is singing about is everything that the democrats are doing today!

They just never sold out to commercialism. The Pink Floyd of the United States. They were a match for the Allman Brothers. Two dueling master guitarists backed up by a wall of sound of percussion and underlaid with a concert keyboardist. That isn't under appreciated.

@@WilliamJones-sf5pt You wanna hear some more great dueling guitar, check out Wishbone Ash. Argus is a great album to start with.

You can say that again.

Not really ahead of its time if you look at the issues the time faced . Just nothing changes the except the enemy's face .

@@shanearmstrong9618 Actually, I'd say it was perfectly on time.

Sounds like a nasal Johnny Rivers. But he writes well.

@@dwighthobbes7720 🤭👏👏✌️

He was never acknowledged as the great front man that he was. I cannot begin to describe the passion and intensity that he sang

In this performance in particular, he is just incredible, vocally and these lyrics, the delivery. What an absolute diamond. Utterly blown away by this.

Dino also wrote the beautiful anthem song 'Get Together' and generously gave it to Jesse Colin Young

Keith Barile JOLI loves you...

Your Dad was amazing....I have friends that hang in your circle, but I'm not a name dropper....Your Dad will live on for moments like this, as well as "Get Together", an anthem for our time. "And our time's gonna come around"...I think it did, and we were pretty lucky...Peace.

paul turner Me too

ME TOO, BUT I'M 69 STILL ALIVE AND WELL!!

My favorite band since the very first album. It's been a long strange trip. RIP to it's members. Love them.

Absolutely. Me too Paul. From "Pride of Man" to their last album. Dino's song from the first album was tribute to him while he was busted. Dino also wrote the theme to our generation "Get Together" under an alias. Best band from San Francisco next to the Electric Flag.

I have listening to maybe a little longer I'm 65 and I still listen and always a Hippy Chick. Don't care how old I get. Saw them a few times, festival seating days. Those were the best concerts I've ever gone to, you didn't have to smoke just breath the air...

@Dave State-61 you just don't get it Dave keep trying even a blind hog can find an acorn once in awhile good luck boy

@Dave State-61 Dino was singing great still here in '75. A GREAT singer. And you, Sir, are one helluva asshole!

@Dave State-61 I've heard that Dino was unbearable to be around, so I can understand the sour grapes, but since 1969 until today, I've always thought he was not just a good vocalist, but a great one.

You've got that right....and Great Songwriter, and this song is biographical. ✌

His solo work is incredible, one of my favourites of all time

Takes me back to senior year...high school...🎸✌️

"AND, I FEEL LIKE A STRANGER, ~IN THE LAND, WHERE I WAS BORN~(MILL VALLEY)

@@darrylnelson2581 Now more than ever... unfortunately.

Good Day for a reunion ,en a Great day for coming home. 🤔 Spouse some melancholy to dayz gone When we thought things were so hard to handle unaware to the present tense . They seemed to have wrote tunes Jermaine to the present tense no❓

MY CRUSH ❤️‍🔥🌹

Had Havens not covered it would be completely forgotten.

@@dwighthobbes7720 an absurd and ignorant statement. This song is a timeless classic.

a@@archibaldcunningham2569

Agreed. So what the fuck is your complaint with me?

There

Ich frage mich das auch.

Yeh. That is a profound question - right up there with "What ya gonna do about me?" Wish there were contemporary songs that could match or go beyond this. It still is a powerful, and beautiful anthem. Hang on, bellgab, maybe one day we will have a better world. ☮

So you want to know what happened? We got Fucked by NIXON!!!

Found this at 13 in my cousins music

Is it better to be 20 in the 70's,or 70 in the 20's??Always loved these guys,now more than ever.

Pretentious pap.

Do something about yourself instead of waiting around.

I'm wondering to myself , for this person (in this case you)to say you heard this many years ago but you didn't think much of it but upon hearing it now it speaks in volumes about your plight,just goes to prove if something doesn't affect you it so easy to turn a blind eye but when you feel the weight of the man on your neck suddenly you understand . It's a shame you couldn't use this tune for some pro Trump propaganda . Ever now and then I've been known to speak a word or two of wisdom but I feel your in need of some kind of guidance in these difficult times put your trust in the Lord and askkk for forgiveness for your sins and your ❤️ heart will heal itself of it's selfish ways ,if

Owsley was his name and space travel was his game.

@@russelnokes1095 owsley! Purple haze, blotter, ORANGE SUNSHINE. MR. NATURAL. all good. Window Payne.

Unfortunately Robert, songs with meaning don't get radio airplay anymore. See if you can check out the bands It's a Beautiful Day, the Doors, Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, so much great music in the 60's. Unfortunately, radio and record companies are constantly dumbing down the music and lyrics of today's songs. Right on this page to the right is Santana, It's A beautiful Day, the Byrds,Yes,and Traffic. Check them all out. They will blow your mind! There are great musicians still out there. They're just not signed up anymore, you get "Boy Bands" Instead. UGH!!!!!!!

My friend. Quicksilver Messenger Service was indeed delivering a message to the masses. The ppl who were turned on, and most of us were, got that message loud and clear. Our waters are polluted, the tress are still being cut down and logged. Our kids and adults are being fed GMO foods and causes cancer and everything else. The air we breath isn't fit to breath. All of us need to do something about this. We. Baby boomers and our Fathers and mothers built and faught and died for this country. No----- we can't let our country go down like this. Vote with your concscince, for the commodities you support and at the voting poll. Starve these criminals our!

@@jeffstetson absolutely true. They talked of things that really matter in the end and good moral value. Or at leadt , our values.

That would be the greatest turnaround

Hell yeah

Yes I really noticed that...a bit different to some of the other Frisco bands...

Get your hearing checked. He's a nasal Johnny Rivers who overblows. Fine writer.

@@dwighthobbes7720 😊

@@dwighthobbes7720 He may not the most technically gifted, but he has a soulful edge and nice phrasing, especially for the song, really suits it.

Soul? Black singers had soul. He was a nasal, whining imitation of Johnny Rivers. Wrote well.

....goin on 52 years.... TIMELESS 😎

GREAT voice!

For sure, should be better known...

He wasn't rated highly? I didn't know that.

Great great revolutionary sonh
