Nicksilver - Live Lupo's 1983
September 25, 1983
September 25, 1983
Providence, R.I.
Soundboard @flac
(Recorded at Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel, Providence, Rhode Island)
For many years the combination of John Cipollina and Nick Gravenites played together in different incarnations of bands. For a couple of months they used the banner of "Nicksilver". This is a smooth sounding soundboard from a set in Providence R.I. in 83. The combo of Nick and John always seemed to gel and was a great period in John's career.
*Tracks are marked with date of 10-13-83. According to http://www.johncipollina.com/audio.html no recordings were made on that date. This has also been distributed as 9-19-1983. According to the above site 9-25 is most likely the correct date.

Thank you! Great show & setlist. Always like any shows w/ Nick & John. Whatever happened to Greg Elmore? I've read that he has quietly disappeared. Hope he's ok & thanks for all the great music!
ReplyDelete"Zippy the pinhead" is always very much welcomed! When the series of 6 shows from the "heimatklänge festival 1998" is done (we're on day 4 of 6), there'll a be a post "4 days on the road with cipollina & gravenites in germany 1982" on the her(m)etic garage

Thanks so much for this. Love me some Quicksilver Messenger Service (the video) and always think Gravenites and Cippolina were underappreciated in the UK. Looking forward to hear this Nicksilver set. Thanks Boss!!
