Quicksilver Messenger Service - Spindrifter (1970) video free download

Lee Holbrook

I use to listen to this for hours on end on a continuous loop all during the 70's when I was in HS (70 to 73). I still do, too. This is a masterpiece to me. I would listen while studying, working in our yard, riding my bike, working out in all the athletic activities I participated in - traveling to gigs regularly with bands that played all the local bars & clubs. I still brings me to tears of joy for the beauty it conveys. It is a song that just gives me energy and hope. A spiritual hymn to my spirit. God Bless and Rest in Peace Nicky Hopkins - My Brother in Music.

Unfortunately there are no transcriptions (sheet music) anywhere for this. Probably because it's a relatively long piece and also there is some third hand overdubbing going on in several parts. So it's not strictly a piano solo. Beautiful though.

Best song ever!!

Cannot get enough of this. Nicky Hopkins with perhaps the most beautiful piano solo. ..It makes my spine tingle everytime I here this..This was recorded @ Hyde St Studios in San Francisco(Formerly Wally Heider's.) I visited this recording studio in 2012 when I visited San Francisco...I have to pix of the Pianos that Nicky used, with QMS, who recorded their entire Discography there .I'll will be uploading them soon

+Robin Patrick Hi, I was also in Hawaii for a week "in the summer of 1969" (Not quite college though, if you know what I mean. R&R) I love the music of that era, especially '68 to '72. This tune is really good and I am happy to have found it on the Tube. I still listen to vintage vinyl from time to time, most recently some early James Taylor. Take care and enjoy the music. Nothing better.

This is not a cover of any other tune, it was written by Nicky Hopkins.

This is a cover of a Floyd Cramer tune. I had the album back in the day myself.

This comment is one of best comments I've read on YT so far. I love Spindrifter so much, but never been able to put in words what I really feel. You did it great. Cheers
