these threads are kinda like squeezing a toothpaste tube to get the last
drops. how many parts will be coming? and are these in order of
preference, or just random?
lower batting average with these three, for me...i don't have much use
for Happy Trails or Cheap Thrills, though i love the Traffic.

Happy Trails may be the best example of San Francisco jam band music ever
recorded.
Cheap Thrills is probably Janis Joplin's finest effort.
YMMV

unless you classify Airplane that way, that's a pretty dubious subgenre
for me. you can have it. and i've never heard even one QMS track i liked.

someone who gives himself the nick "The Giant Brain."

Whoop-de-damn-do - as if that's a sub genre that belongs on a list of
essential music of an entire decade.
> Cheap Thrills is probably Janis Joplin's finest effort.
Again, who cares if something is the best thing by a mediocre artist.
There are lots of better female singers from this decade (Aretha, Irma
Thomas, Gladys Knight, Martha Reeves, etc....)
Aretha's first Atlantic LP pisses all over "Cheap Thrills" Is not
even remotely close.

I suspect a bias for the San Francisco/Monterey sound.

First, "jam bands" didn't exist back then. It's a nineties term applied
retroactively, when newer bands came along and needed a moniker.
It was the San Francisco Sound, which has always been vague, but is
descriptive since the music rose up in the dance halls. "A Tribute to
Doctor Strange" was promoted as a dance, just like in high school, not a
concert. Thus the bands were about playing long so the dancers didn't
have to keep stopping and starting. That propelled the improvisational
aspect of the music, and the long playing that was so different from
the rest of the music world at the time.
Much of it didn't translate to record, since initially it reverted to
short songs when the bands went into the studio.
So if you listen to The Great Society's live album(s) that were released
after the fact, all the songs are long and improvisational. Listen to
Jefferson Airplane live (and they had a few live albums), the music is
likewise long and improvisational. And so on. But you can't judge
by some of the albums, because they were studio albums and that ended
up being different music. Even the Grateful Dead, I can't immediately
think of any long or improvisational recordings they put on the studio
albums, but of course almost from the start they were releasing live
albums that did bring forth their live sound.
"Happy Trails" is actually different from the rest of Quicksilver's
output, since it is a live album and captures what they were like in
concert.

No shit.....you didn't think that "Pea Brain" was any older than 30,
did you?

Nye. - "A musician's word list"
Jam Band - "a 'jam band' depends entirely on improvisation, using no
written music".
In the 1930s you had "Coleman Hawkins and His All Star Jam Band"
