- Former Mountain drummer Corky Laing was big friends with legendary The Who drummer Keith Moon... but the first time they met, things got a bit heated!! At a show at Madison Square Garden, Corky decided to take a little souvenir, a sequinned Union Jack jacket the Keith's Grandmother had made for him! Corky tells the funny story of having to give it back to the wild drummer when he heard him tearing the place apart!

I saw the Who in 1968, Mountain a couple of years later. Moon, before his lifestyle took its toll, was the most impressive drummer I have ever seen. I'll never forget that first concert. Keith's drumming has been described as "savant-like" and I agree. Impossible to describe what he did or how he did it. Corky Lang was also considered good back in the day. I love hearing Keith Moon stories and hadn't heard this one. Thanks Corky.
I saw Mountain every time they played Fillmore East. Loved 'em; Leslie, Felix and of course Corky's a tremendous drummer.
Cool AF!!!
You are very fortunate to have witnessed such great rock history. 👍
I'm a WHO fanatic and had a smile from ear to ear listening to this story. Also, the author is Dave Marsh! I think that's who he was thinking about... book "Before I Get Old"
Maybe as a who fanatic you can explain why Pete Townsend's such an overrated asshole that only knows how to play power cords that couldn't play a good lead to save his ass
Corky is a great storyteller!
Ah i remember his Bsnd Mountain the lead singer/guitarist was amazing so underrated that group were.

what a POWERHOUSE !
I absolutely loved Mountain.
We all did in those days. Such a unique sound. Great talents in the band.
Seeing videos of Mountain onstage influenced my decision to make the Les Paul Junior my main instrument. I will never get tired of that killer rock and roll tone and sustain that you can only get from an LP Jr. I got lucky and found an early 60s Jr. in trade for an old Laney bass head, of which I had two .
Did you buy Leslie's fingers, too. Because that is where the sound came from...
@@AmericasChoice yes I did Yet strangely, when I play my strat it sounds totally different. Cretin.
@@PlayerToBeNamedLater1973 You sound like a cretin when you play your Stat? I am not surprised....
Just two as well .. ring and index. What a sound - unique and timeless@@AmericasChoice
a little off the wall, but quite amusing! I really never knew they were buddies.
Corky and Keith were heavily influenced by Phil Bilzor of "Bacon". I'm surprised that wasnt mentioned. They met at Bacon's debut at the Filmore East.
ROCK ON PHIL!
Great story
