Well to start with, this was from the mid 60's. Obviously you weren't awake to the San Francisco sound of that era. Perhaps you weren't awake during the 70's either. You obviously missed such ground breaking bands such as Little Feat with Lowell George and too many others to mention here. The 60's thru early 70's was a special time indeed, sorry you missed it! Quicksilver helped define that wonderful San Francisco sound along with the Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead and a host of others. The song "Gold & Silver" from Quicksilver's debut album, from which "Pride of Man " also comes from features some of the finest work from the band's excellent lead guitarist, the late John Cippolina. Let's face it, those were different times and the world was a bit more innocent. The musicians were highly accomplished players and very creative. I love all of Quicksilvers work, especially the work featuring Cippolina's playing. Too bad you just don't get it. :P

Amen, brother. I heard David Frieberg (original member) and other musicians do this live for a free Chet Helms Memorial concert in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park last October. Gave me chills!!! I miss those days, mucho!!!

I submitted "Spindrifter" to the LRC - The late, lamented Nicky Hopkins, with the rest of QMS. It's a very melodic piano piece, and it just makes me realize that the only way we can honor these departed souls is by listening to the musical legacy they left behind. This is one song I really hope Bill and Rebecca will choose to include in the library. It's simple, but it speaks so eloquently of hope, dreams, and love...

I wonder if "Spindrifter" is ever played, if Cynaera submitted it then it must be worthwhile .. oh and following Pride of Man with Audioslave was Genius! Cool rock man

Always amazing the way a song or smell or place can unlock your memories and take you back. Was wondering who this was and had largely settled on Spirit.

I don't have old memories associated with this song, unfortunately. I like the energy and free-form style, although some of the lyrics are ponderous and don't quite fit the rhythm. But hey, it was the Sixties so it's all groovy.

Always like QMS's "Fresh Air."

For my money John Cippolina's best guitar work, especially the solo on the bridge, and he had a lot of great guitar work.

To hear the early "San Francisco Sound" in its purest state, one could do no better than listen to the early lineup of Quicksilver Messenger Service. Bill Graham once introduced the band as "the oldest collection of living American juveniles." Give them a good listen, you will not be disappointed.

Dino Valenti was a founding member who was busted for possession and was serving time when the band broke. Duncan took a year off and Hopkins joined for their third album, Shady Grove. Valenti and Duncan rejoined the band for their fourth, Just for Love. Both Hopkins and Cipollina left after that one.

BTW, Nick Gravenites sings "Pride of Man." He'd come west with Paul Butterfield and Mike Bloomfield from Chicago, and would become Bloomfield's and Buddy Miles's vocalist with The Electric Flag. The horns are the original Tower of Power horn section.

sorry I missed it —-(I have it here at home but I'd like to have heard it with everyone else for some reason.)
Some people on another site were discussing the lyrics to this song and thought that the lyrics (italicized here) were prescient of 9/11—-kind of interesting.
Gordon Lightfoot did this too, and it actually sounds pretty good acoustic. The chord progression is fun to play:
Turn around,
go back down,
back the way you came,
Can't you see that flash of fire ten times brighter than the day?
And behold a mighty city broken in the dust again,
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.

Turn around,
go back down,
back the way you came,
Babylon is laid to waste, Egypt's buried in her shame,
The mighty men are all beaten down, their kings are fallen in the ways,
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.

Turn around,
go back down,
back the way you came,
Terror is on every side, lo our leaders are dismayed.
For those who place their faith in fire, their faith in fire shall be
repaid,
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.

Turn around,
go back down,
back the way you came,
And shout a warning unto the nation that the sword of God is raised.
Yes, Babylon, that mighty city, rich in treasures, wide in fame,
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.

The meek shall cause your tower to fall, make of you a pyre of flame,
Oh you who dwell on many waters, rich in treasures, wide in fame.
you bow unto your God of gold, your pride of might shall be a shame,
For only God can lead His people back unto the Earth again.

Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.
A Holy mountain be restored, and mercy on that people, that people
