The Official John Cipollina Memorial mySpace page is just getting started and we're hoping to find many of John's fans and friends here. Please feel free to send us a friend request and/or leave your comments about John Cipollina!
Born in Berkeley, California on August 24, 1943, John Cipollina represents the archetypal San Francisco 1965-1975 musician.
As a founding member of Quicksilver Messenger Service, John went on to perform and record with dozens of bands , blazing a trail from rock to blues to jazz over a brilliant twenty-five year career.
John Cipollina's guitar sounded like no other. His unique resonance touched people in places they didn't know existed. His signature sound will stand alone for all time as a part of the musical thread the San Francisco Bay Area has wrapped around the world.
John passed away from a lifelong respiratory ailment on May 29, 1989. He left behind a great musical contribution for his worldwide audience to enjoy. For those of us who knew him, we share the memory of a truly wonderful person, whose being so perfectly reflected the magic in his music.
In 1995 John's legendary amp stack was donated to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame , ensuring him a place in music history.

David Lockhart's painfully excessive capturing of the booze-swilling and constantly concupiscent Jim Morrison is an encyclopedic homage to the ethos of rock. Boudeeka's haunting accurate portrayal of Janis Joplin is a tribute to women in rock and the raw emotion that was so much a part of the scene. Carlton Poward is an almost frightening replica with his spot-on Jimi Hendrix characterization and inspired guitar playing. Pat Craig Contra Costa Times
I used to love seeing John play with The Dinosaurs at the Last Day Salloon in the 80's with Barry Melton and Merl Saunders. John was a great guitarist and a tonal icon!
Hello John, amazing,groovin',rockin' sound !! Thanks for the add !!! Greetz from Belgium, Jeff from "The Flying Ponies" http://www.myspace.com/jefboudry
Thanks for the add! When I saw Quicksilver in Memphis he wasn't in the band so that was a drag. At the time (pre-stroke) I played guitar and could fake almost anyone's riffs but two: John's and Jorma's. A couple of years later I was in SF for a few days so Checked out the music scene and noticed John and Copperhead were playing at the New Matrix. The band were late but I saw John standing alone at the wall wearing the *same shirt* as on the "Shady Grove" LP. The exact same one! It was like walking into an album cover! We talked for a bit, I told him I was nuts over the QMS version of "Mona", and then he signed a poster for me. After the regular set of Copperhead songs, they brought the house down with an encore of "Mona"! (here is the shirt)
Hey thanx 4 the add....! Hey John i miss jammin with ya wish u were still here man ! But we will jam again sumday when i get there ! Lovya man ! ROCK ON ! ! ! ! Peace....Vic.
Hey John, How are you? hope all is cool! a new nazz video 4u 2 watch, a tribute to John Lennon and The Beatles... just me and Stewkey on the track i just finished the video yesterday...hot off the presses. just having some psychedelic fun!.. the old backward guitar trick.
If you love and miss THE BAND, here's your chance to experience the next best thing! The THE BAND Band has been lauded by critics as being "as close as it gets to the real thing," performing timeless classics such as "The Weight", "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down", and “Up On Cripple Creek” from The Band's legendary repertoire.
It’s been 40 years since The Band played at Woodstock, and over 32 years since their farewell concert, The Last Waltz. But while The Band may be long gone from the stage, The THE BAND Band is the perfect remedy for Band-starved fans everywhere!
