IMPERIALISTIC



Sometime late 2011 or 2012 Gary Duncan pulled out of his connection and touring with the Jefferson Starship. With him he took the Quicksilver moniker. Not to be left out in the cold David Freiberg and his wife Linda Imperial have resurfaced as The Imperial Messenger Service. They have been opening for the Starship as of earlier this year and are  performing QMS material and are playing it somewhat better than Duncan was doing. Their set also highlights Linda's material since in realistic terms the band is essentially hers.
The QMS is just as much part of Freiberg's legacy as was anyone else in the band. Here are four sets from IMS . They are short but are pretty good. Thanks David for keeping the QMS spirit alive !

Only 4 songs when unpacked? Have downloaded twice. Is that right?
Enjoy your work.

Thank you. This looks and sounds real interesting. I didn't know Gary and David had gone their separate ways. Is Gary OK, or just taking a break? This band does a nice job of bringing that old familiar dual guitar sound without trying to sound exactly like the old QMS too much. Nice soundboard! Larry
