- Leslie West & Mountain with Corky Laing and Richie Scarlet perform two songs on Dennis Miller's late night TV show February 1992. The first song already appears elsewhere online, but this appears to be the only upload with BOTH songs from this reunion performance, one of their first after a six year hiatus. The BetaGems channel also has "Leslie West 10-31-91 New London CT UNRELEASED."
BetaGems are culled from an archive of over 1000 beta video tapes recorded from 1983 into the 1990s. Most feature live music performances broadcast on television in San Diego CA, though there are also rarely seen commercials, comedy clips, old TV news segments, made-for-TV movies and documentaries, religious programming, variety shows, talk show interviews, and other material that doesn't seem to be anywhere else on RUclips or online. Most of the tapes were recorded on a Sony SL-HFT7 Super Beta Theater Hi-Fi Stereo - the same model was refurbished and is being used for these digital transfers and uploads.
In rare occasions where a BetaGems clip does appear elsewhere, we're only uploading if our own beta master is better quality or contains material not seen previously. Much footage comes from public television and public access broadcasts that the taper, who worked for a local cable TV production company in the 1980s, monitored nightly for several years. Some of the programming is strictly regional, mostly from the San Diego area.
Randy Rhoads and Eddie Van Halen called Leslie one of their main influences and heroes. Get him in Hall of Fame!
Wow I definitely hear where Van Halen got some of his fills. Cool!
@@luvpants2012 yep
i guess I am kinda off topic but does anybody know of a good website to watch newly released tv shows online?
@@matteotrace2299 I watch all my shows on Chanel 4. You should try it.
As did Michael Schenker
Mountain needs to be in the Hall of Fame based on this song alone! What a sound! I will always love this band!
a pun here ("I" know what "YOU" mean).
Check out the "Zoot-Suit" clothes they wore in a 1970 video.

you're bleeping insane
They're too cool for the hall
No room for him and the guys, have to have more rappers and one hit wonders. Total BS!
You mean Leslie is not in the HOF???
The whole band should be in the Hall Of Fame!
AMEN!!
BS

I'm 75. I loved Leslie West and Mountain from the 1st time I heard Mississippi Queen on the radio. Interestingly enough, I was in the Air Force stationed in Mississippi when it came out. Years later I saw them play live in Milwaukee at Summerfest. Leslie West is one of the great guitar players of all time. RIP Leslie.

Mountain was the loudest band I ever heard live. Allmans not far behind. Leslie was amazing.
Primus, Pearl Jam & Nirvana were all loud as Hell live.
YES! Couldn't hear for a full week.
Really miss felix pappalardi bass
Loudest for me . Judas'priest , frank Marino. Deep purple was pretty loud as well
Ya gotta go "way back"! The loudest band by far was Grand Funk Railroad!! HANDS DOWN!! Second loudest??? Surprisingly -- Smithereens!!! And I saw West/Mountain 4 times!!
There's no shredding here. Just the meat, and potatoes.
You can really see the influence Leslie bestowed on the likes of Eddie Van Halen who Eddie stated was one of his biggest two influences. Will miss you, big man. You played one lot O' guitar brother. RIP
sounds a lot like Montrose
@@CaboWabotv indeed. R.I.P. Ronnie. I'm sure the fat man influenced him as well. I've seen them both live, and they tore it up!
Leslie West: Forest Hills, Queens, brother.
Shreeding becames boring very quick !!! this tone and solos are cool and crazy good !!
Leslie lost a bunch of weight, he was looking good at burning 🔥 up the stage, just like he did when I was a teenager, seeing them constantly, thanks RUclips for sharing music like this!!❤⚡️👏✌️
I was a bartender at the Hard Rock in Hollywood, FL in 2007. This lineup headlined a 60s festival. They were so loud they rattled the bottles outside at the concession stand. I begged my manager and he let me inside to catch a few songs. Holy shit. Super loud and super tight. Always one of my all time favorites. Never lost his chops even after he lost his leg. RIP Master Leslie!
This is just the best straight forward unadulterated playing I’ve seen and heard in a long time. Reminded of the 70’s. What rock was meant to be . No frills, no makeup, just great playing. Leslie was amazing.
Pretty good , but I spy A LOT of hairspray, shoulder pads, eye liner, and leather.
I was playing guitar in a power trio when Nantucket Sleighride came out. Our drummer snagged it and set about learning how to play like Corky Laing. He nailed it. We ended up covering a load of Mountain tunes.
RIP Leslie West.
MY GOD!!! Do you have a copy of this????
@@gailgarza8033 I still have my original LP of Nantucket Sleighride, if that was the question.
Wow, I've never heard him play live before. You can totally see how it influenced Eddie.
@@wjniemi
Me too.

Leslie is slimmed down here and wailing. Corky is trying to hit the drums as hard as humanly possible. Mountain!
It's great to see these guys perform
I love this clip! Corky is a great drummer! That’s my kind of drumming!
RIP Leslie West-He’s jamming in Heaven with Hendrix and Eddie now!
Drugs
@@kennyplay5982 by then he was off the drugs and dealing with diabetes and a little later had cancer in early 2000s
Sounds like bonham hitting em
I have never seen a guitarist and drummer do what Les and Corky could do , Corky is a powerhouse of a drummer , has to be the most energetic I've ever seen !
Buddy Miles, "Them Changes." I think it will change your mind.
@@eduardopena5893 Keith Moon also comes to mind.
@@earlfranklin432 bonham...
@@eduardopena5893 Buddy was amazing ur so right!!
I never heard them sound better. West was in his prime..... Great show thanks for posting this..
I saw West, Laing and Pappalardi at a small community college fresh back from Vietnam 1973 in Arnold, Maryland. Front row over packed and it was without doubt the best concert I ever saw. Felix was in overdrive... fantastic!
I saw these guys soon after this episode aired. I waited for hours with a friend at a nightclub in suburban St. Louis. It was worth it; we got right up to the stage. Leslie West actually gave my friend his guitar pick and let him strum while he played chord changes. I bet he's still got that thing...
I’ve been playing music since I was in 3rd grade
Violin, cello, clarinet, and drums.
I’m 61 now.
Leslie gets my vote as
Best
Guitarist
Ever 👍
That's a raw jam right there. If I could see this live id be in heaven.
Man, i watched that night, I was stunned at his presence, this is a good part of history. R.I.P.
What was it like to see this live? Did you watch it with anyone?
@@Merlin_Price naw I had just got back from work late. And heard he was going to be on, so I was Jess about to eat a late dinner when it came on. Was stunned, he didn't look like him self losing all that weight. But he had all that energy.
@@South3West77 Yeah the weight loss is quite startling. Going back to watch the other live track that youtube puts up regularly there is a stark contrast to his playing too. The voice was always there, loud and proud.. but he seems so much more at ease here. Healthier, more notes, perfect timing, going to go looking for more. The sound is unreal. Kind of thing i'd want to fire off into space.
Ps. I like that you can remember that you had a late dinner before this moment.
Something about this is so badass! These guys were the real deal!
One of those 3 man super bands that made so much sound. Dennis Miller you rock.
8:17 Leslie West flips the bird at Corky Lang for missing the beat. LOL!!!
Leslie wasn't a sweetheart. That's for sure. I don't blame him. I like his music. I just understand why the best didn't want to play in his band.
Mountain was my 1st concert,my older brother loved them,it was a cold day in 1974,ill never forget because it deafened me for a week,and i went to school with my Mountain T- shirt and my art teacher loved Mountain and he gave me an A and i literally didn't do anything in his class,but anyway my older brother is no longer here,he committed suicide on 6-20-22,i really miss him alot.
One if the greatest rockers of all-time! Love the cowbell!
up there with the greatest trios
Fellas....I could really use more cowbell!...Really!
Yes! More Cowbell!!!
marshall stacks.... now thats what im talkin abt.... rip leslie... you went thru a lot of health probs,,, but never failed to deliver your amazing guitar playin vocals happy trails and thanx for your influence on real rock
Leslie West and Jim McCarty from Cactus are criminally underrated guitar players and two of my favorites
Cactus are awesome.
Cactus had an INCREDIBLE lineup...Appice was truly, a underrated Drummer. I would of LOVED to see them Live
Jimmy's still playing live in Detroit quite often
How about Cactus at RANDALLS ISLAND MCCARTY PLAYED LONG SOLO TO OPEN SET STILL GOTBRAIN CEIIS. HIGH
Got that right man. They both deserve to be SOUL SURVIVORS of their great great sound that they created. !!!@!!!!@!
Leslie West The greatest tone ever!!!!!
*the tone masta*
What's the 2nd song called?
@@sethharris3275 7:34
@@dennymcfastlane8530 Yes
Richie Rollo I love his music! Man he knew distortion well
The Dennis Miller show had just started in January of 1992, so this is an early episode of the show. Andy Summers of The Police led the house band but left soon after this show was aired..Too bad the show was canceled by the network in July of 1992, it got caught up in the "Late Night" wars of the time...but it's great to see Leslie West drink a beer on live TV after the first tune...!!
Exactly me working n Nashville.also n reserves@ that time.married then Miller was quick more better
RIP Leslie.
Killing it in heaven.
THE TONE KING OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Saw Mountain three in New Haven.Up close and LOUD!!! Just Awesome!!!M.O'B
Leslie West has more feeling in one of his eyebrow hairs than most other guitarists have in their whole body. Love Corky Laing too, wouldn't sound the same without him. The bass player does a good job though of course.............
Saw Van Halen in "86" during the 5150 tour, with BTO opening for them. During BTO's set Leslie came out & joined them on stage for 3 songs, can't remember all they played, EXCEPT a great version of Mississippi Queen of course. It was a great show from beginning to end, still ranks as one of the best concerts I've ever seen.
BTO rules.
This qualifies as really good, high-as-a-kite rock and rock. As it should be.
Totally amazing. Utterly incredible🥰
These guys were so underrated. Very great band, made to play live shows 👏
When I listen to Mountain and Leslie West....I feel alive!!!
Mountain kicked ass! Leslie West was a beast who roared like a lion... His tone was incredible...
Hendrix, Johnny Winter & Leslie West were my faves in high-school class of 74🔥💥👊👍✌🇺🇸
Lang is killin' as always.
Unbelievably underrated
This video is incredible. The playing, the stick throwing (how many extras did he have back there???), the vocals. The deadpan "he was shot by his wife, Dennis". 10 minutes of gold.
Felix's wife was just too good a shot at close range. Felix RIP.
That was Felix
All the useless unfunny trivia Dennis Miller has, and he doesn't know Felix Pappalardi was shot by his wife.
R.I.P Leslie West. Legend
Stunning Power trio sound and performer...¡¡¡ YEAH...
These 2 songs are my ring tones for calls and messages. Always been one of my favorite bands. Saw them twice.
I did too, worcester, MA, mid 70's when they were three piece.
Love you, Leslie.
May you rest in peace
Wow. Absolutely hands down the best tv performance ever. They really took advantage of the moment.
Dude doesn't even break a sweat. He sends every note like it's harder for him to play it badly than well. Really impressive.
Thank you!
A skinny Leslie West!!😮😉👍🏻👏❤
Bloody good guitarist Leslie West
I remember seeing this when I was like 14 or 15 and being blown away! 🤯
MAN!!!! Bro,many thanks for posting this on YT...I'm just blown away how Leslie sounded and to make this iconic jam sound fresh and heavier than the original. Just awesome the way they opened up. I'm sure that Felix P.is looking down at them smiling,saying,I NEED MORE COWBELL!!!!
To all who say Corky Laing throws drumsticks, He doesn't !! Corky bounces the stick off of a drum or cymbal, on the beat, so that it bounces in the direction he wants it to fly. He's pretty accurate but when Leslie jokingly flips him the bird it was because Corky's timing was a bit off because the stick bounced a little higher and came down on the upbeat.
Tastiest licks ever. Thanks brother. ❤️
Mountain and a group called Cactus were pioneers of this heavy sound. Love this stuff!!!
Wow, I saw the Mississippi Queen clip before, but not this one with Never In My Life added at the end. Great to hear the guys play 'em. Corky Laing was pounding those drums.
Love watching Richie too!
Loud, raw, phat mix. Nice.
Gotta have more cow bell! These guys can really rock, such a great era…….
Les was as real as it got. No bullshit guitar playing and ohh that tone ! Frikkin’ great song writing, and great vocals from Les, and not on this video, Felix with a fabulous voice. Pioneers of R&R....RIP, Les and Felix....😢
Saw the original Mountain twice in January 1972! Really amazing! Leslie West squeezing notes out of a Les Paul Junior!
I watched this the night it aired back in the day. I love Leslie's comment about not offering them a seat on the comfy couch. Brilliant stuff!
One of the very best rock and roll songs of all time.
Fuck! Leslie's technique, tone, whammy control and just whole approach to playing is, for my money, just sublime! That's all... \m/ (:o)
I luv Leslie West
Real music....a breath of fresh air. RIP Leslie West.....one of the best.
He ain't dead though.
Yes, he is.
Awesome! And I love the classic Laing & West flying drum sticks catch & release trick. I counted 6 attempts & misses, then a catch & release at #7
I do try to ignore Miller's dumb sarcastic comments about a 70's ending and that it started when he woke up this morning, it was longer because of the flying drum sticks trick, Miller being a smart ass moron, but bravo for having Mountain play on his show.
FINALLY real music !
Brilliant
I saw him back in 1971 with Felix Pappalardi on base and Corky Lane on drums, Curtis Hixon Hall, Tampa, FL. He was about 250 pounds heavier, but what a show. He came out onto the stage, walked up to the mic and shout a four letter expletive that rimed with "truck" and started right into "Mississippi Queen",
Best drummer
Leslie West and Eddie Van Halen. The only two who could make the Steinberger TransTrem sound like gold. ❤
...best part of Mississippi Queen was the Sleighride outro! I read from a disgruntled fan, that West never sings Mississippi Queen as per the recording. Never thought of it before, but I think he's right.
I have heard of artists doing that, out of resentment of being made intot a one hit wonder when there are so many great songs in their repetiore... but only one gets played ad naseum
Leslie and Link Wray fathers of metal.
Takes me back! I bought Nantucket Sleighride when I was in the eighth grade and I wore that one out. Couldn't get enough of the sound of Leslie's guitar especially when it was on top of such a potent rhythm section. West's wall of distortion sounded so right.
Saw them 5x The best
Mr. Tone rocks out with his signature hit. Go Leslie. RIP, dude.
5:22 very funny, Corky hurtling sticks at Leslie, who gives him the finger and flicks the sticks at the audience
Been looking for the complete performance for years!! I loaned out my tape I recorded the night of the broadcast and never got it back. Thanks a ton!!
✌🏼😃
Met him jamed with him a little when I worked for Steve Glance production in Detroit 1974 and 1975 he is really down to earth and stright up cool!! Hall of fame for sure a monster guitar player musician...
Still have one of Corky's drumsticks ( slightly abused ) from this time period.
Never in my Life. So good !
Love the Mountain. Leslie and Corky and Rick Deringer autographed my Oakland A’s hat back at Ridgefield Playhouse.
Leslie West was a guitar god at my high school in the mid seventies.
Leslie West : SEVERELY UNDERRATED as a lead guitarist …. Many Hard Rockers list him as an inspiration and influence. Put him in the Hall
My first time of listen ING to Leslie West on his Album ...FLOWERS OF EVIL...IN 1971......I think. It was killer to me.Alot folks...if you didn't play guitar.Alot these guys who were TOP PLAYERS were ignored...Leslie though he played a Jr Les Paul .And turn on alot of English players on to them..They were great guitars in the 1950s single and double...I finally bought one In 1976...Gibson jr.for 100.00 .yep card board case too.
Cory Lang, what an Animal!
Gorky plays great every single time.
Billy Corgan has also stated that Mountain was one of his biggest influences along with Sabbath, and this tone absolutely shows it. 🔥
Leslie,randy,dimebag,eddie,jimi and countless other kick ass guitarists are jamming up yonder,RIP to all of them..
I still have this on VHS
The Marshall amps sound so good even coming out of my smartphone speakers
I love Richard Lewis! I didn't know he played guitar.
🤣
"More cowbell" before there was More Cowbell.
That opening cowbell to "Mississippi Queen" is one of the best known and readily identifiable song intros that prepares the listener for some of the heaviest and gut-punch hard rock that anyone could hope for, and delivers hot and hard every time, with every listening, for 50 years.
Keep on truckin' Mr. Natural, if you please!
☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮
Quit ragging on the guitar tone, this was like 1992. West could piss on a guitar and get better tone than most!
Well fuc*ing said!!
F*ckin' right
||| |, \
Could not have said it better. Way to go!!☮😁
What's wrong with his tone? The TV mix? Was it because it was only two full stacks of 100 watt Marshall guitar amps instead of his 'normal for 1970' 4 full sets of 120 watt Sunn Colosseum PA aka Public Address heads?
Oh sorry forgetted. Marshalls suck.
Not when Leslie plays though them they don't.
This was the very first song that I learned how to play. It was a hard song to learn and play. But it kickass!!!
Mind melting performance. Wow!!
Total Kick ass set.
Heard of this the night before.
I was driving at 4 am so passed.
Played guitar since '72 when i was 15.
Mountain, Sab and ABB,
Lost for words but lovin it
One of all time favorite bands. Saw them live in the early 70’s at Wolfson Ball Park Jacksonville Florida. Not pop enough for most people. RIP Leslie and Corky
