Quicksilver Messenger Service were a San Francisco-based psychedelic rock band formed in the mid-1960s. They were known for their extended improvisations and guitar interplay, emerging from the Fillmore scene. The 1971 release of "Quicksilver" found the band in a transitional period, following the departure of key members and exploring a more concise songwriting approach.
