Go Ride the Music and West Pole

About This Movie

Go Ride the Music and West Pole is a time capsule of late '60s counterculture, blending raw performances from Jefferson Airplane and Quicksilver Messenger Service. There's a certain unrefined energy in the Bay Area music scene captured here. The clips showcase not only the bands but the vibe of the era—everything feels organic and spontaneous, from the performances to the intimate studio shots. Joey Cowington's presence on drums adds a fresh twist to Airplane's sound. It’s not a polished documentary; it’s more like a fly-on-the-wall glimpse into a fascinating moment in music history.

This film has seen limited releases over the years, primarily circulating in niche collector circles. The original format has become somewhat scarce, making it a sought-after piece for those interested in the era's music history. As the footage features prominent bands of the time, it holds considerable interest for collectors who appreciate the cultural context and raw energy of live performances.
