    This hard rock band has been around since the late 60's-70's. They performed at "Woodstock". "Mississippi Queen" is their most famous song using extensive cowbell sounds. Some other songs were "Long Red", "Never In My Life", "To My Friend", "Crossroader", "Nantucket Sleighride" etc.

    First off, Britt... I love you and your channel: instant subscriber! Also, I am a recent devotee to Mountain and Leslie West - he won me over immediately as I see he has won you over as well... When you said, "He's feeling it! He's feeling it!" at about 2:40 in this video, that's the same feeling I got when I first saw this video... Does he shred his guitar or what!?!?!?! He's digging so hard for those notes I'm scared he's going to crack his teeth!... and this is to say nothing of his presence... LARGER THAN LIFE! You think when he walked into a room heads turned??? I strongly encourage you to check out the Woodstock footage of Mountain's performance of Beside The Sea; you'll love it GUARANTEED! ... and never a more humble guy than Leslie West. Check out some of his interviews and you'll love him even more. Wish he was still playing - RIP and taken from us too soon!

    Try the album version. Your observation about Leslie’s voice is spot on, and the studio recording captures all the energy of both his vocal performance and Les Paul through a Marshall sound. Would love to see you react to the album cuts of Nantucket Sleigh Ride, and Theme From An Imaginary Western. Two high points in the Mountain catalog.

      @@theoneandonlyfalafel Was it recorded through a Sunn? I’ve seen him live numerous times back in the day and it was Marshall all day long. Seems like every band I played in, in the early and mid seventies had a bassist and a few guitarists using those Fender line cabs and amps. They actually sounded quite nice. As a drummer, I blew my ears out with EV 18’s and horn cabs used as monitors on each side of me. (There’s a photo of Ted Nugents’ drummer on stage with the same setup.) I have no idea what we were thinking back then, but it had little to do with our health. 👈😉 Good stuff, thanks for the correction. Regards

    I didn't get to catch the original lineup back in the day, but I did get to see Corky Laing (the drummer) and Leslie West (guitarist) at the Bull Run in Central Massachusetts back late 90's early 2000's time period. Pretty darn good show and Leslie's tone was still on point. The song Nantucket Sleighride (actually the whole album) is worthy of reacting to for sure.

    I owned this album in 1971 and it almost got me killed. I was 19 yo and was in my last year of prep school. I was living in a dorm and the football coach and family lived above us. I came home after school and forgot he lived there and put on Mississippi Queen on volume 10. About 2 minutes later, he burst into my room screaming to turn it off that it woke up his baby. From the look on his face and in his eyes, I thought I was dead. Luckily, he just turned around and walked out as I turned off the record player. I have loved this song all my life.

    Leslie West and Mountain are dope, this is just the tip of the iceberg, try Nantucket Sleighride sometime, it is a studio classic but takes on a life of it's own in concert, it often went 10 to 30 minutes depending on what they were feeling. Awesome band, I saw Mountain at least 10 times and Leslie solo almost as much. Always a great show, he never mailed in. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎶

    MORE COW BELL!! You have southern rock, then you have hard southern rock like these guys.

This is one of those songs that as soon as you hear the intro you turn the volume up to 11.

      I heard, when cowbells in songs were prevalent, that a cymbal’s sound didn’t come over AM radio as well. Thus, the cowbell started being used more. I never knew if that was true or not, but it seemed reasonable.

    This song is so important because of what it was in the time it was released. Revolutionary in it's day. And it's become an anthem for rockers around the world. One of the best cover's, I humbly believe, is done by Zakk Wylde (guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne). He sat in at little club with the house band and made a masterpiece.
