Hi man Pleaseee Can you react to more Johnny Winter? Stank face guaranteed Johnny Winter - Be careful with a fool With Tommy Shannon on bass: ruclips.net/video/8Tyg5SJDpiQ/видео.html
Enjoying your channel.Love that you have a love of all music.Keep it coming. How about giving us the following. Donald Bryd-Domiminos Paco de Lucia-Entre dos Aguas Two different genre but beautiful. Peace
One of the charms of this song is that it spends 0 time warming you up and 0 time cooling you down. It's pure concentrated rock. It hits you in the face with a 2x4 and then walks away.
that's what makes the song special, it just beats on you from beginning to end. But so do their other songs "Never In My Life" and "Sitting On A Rainbow"
My dad saw Mountain at a musical festival in the Midwest in the early 70s. His buddy was sitting on top of their van, waiting for the band to start playing, and the first few guitar notes they played were so loud it literally knocked him off the roof of the van.
That would have been at Milwaukee's Summerfest July of 1971, it was raining and quite muddy , the beer was flowing Wisconsin had just lowered beer drinking age to 18 and I was there !! My ears rang for days
Guitarist Leslie West died yesterday, from complications from diabetes. Founder of the Rock Band "Mountain" (Mississippi Queen) in 1969, West was a friend of Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townsend, guitarist for "The Who" and many other rock guitarists. West was age 75. We are losing the greats, of Classic Rock and Roll from both age, and illness. We will always have their music. God Bless
@@michaelboyce9373 he was close to my cousin (who played bass with him at the woodstock reunion.) his widow and child knew him well. Very sad as they pass on. and yes, this is one of the great rock songs of all time
Love that angry guitar sound. Such a great guitar player. The first time I heard Mississippi Queen it was like a punch in the face. I was stunned. Such an underrated band.
I was a teenager when this song came out, for about the next 5 years it was a party anthem of my generation. You hear that cowbell, you knew it was time to TURN IT UP and get your party on! Great reaction Jamel, thanks and take care.
Another great song by Mountain is "Theme From an Imaginary Western." I think you'd like the lyrics, too. Written by Jack Bruce of Cream. There are versions done by him on RUclips as well.
With a sad heart😢 Leslie West passed away today at 75. I was. A young man as my dad blasted that song on our home stereo. Stil sends chills through me 50 yesrs later. RIP Les
Oh yeah. Quite accidental. He did this with his LP Junior through a Peavey bass amp. Leslie West had one of the best tones of anyone. Nothing beats a single P90 pick up for pure crunch!!!
Leslie West is well regarded as a monster guitarist and is not under rated by anyone who has heard him. there is no rating system it’s just if a guitarist is bad ass then so be it! peace
Sorry I got see Mountain once! Opened for Satriani. Leslie waa an original. Funny. Rehab stories, Borscht belt humor. RIP. I was listening to him the same day. Didn't hear he passed to the day after💔
@Jon Williams Yeah. Everybody REMEMBERS THE FIRST TIME THEY HEARD SABBATH!LIFECHANGING.DARK & OMINOUS.When I started to get into them in Junior High it was already a dozen years old. My brother's friend' s dad saw them a few times back in the day. W/ BOC & the tour with VH.Wish I cld of seen thst. Kiss opened for them too
I first heard this album in 1969 when I was in high school. Yea, the second it comes on, you're caught up in it. The Bassist, Felix Pappalardi also produced and played on the albums of the group Cream. I saw Mountain perform at the Fillmore East in NYC in 1970 for their "Nantucket sleighride" tour. At that time, they were the loudest band I had ever heard live and the Fillmore wasn't that big a concert hall. They rocked it. Glad to see you enjoy them. This was my era of rock.
Best reactions on RUclips, gotta love watching someone love the music. I’ve played drums for years and I can tell you bands love having people like you in the crowd, makes all the rehearsal worthwhile.
A very straightforward banger, but their music is usually more developed. Nantucket Sleighride would be a great Mountain followup. A fisherman story song The guitarist Leslie West is another top tier player from the era.
13 billion years ago, when the Universe was a zeptosecond old, the riff from Mississippi Queen already existed. West discovered it. It was always there, waiting.
I totally agree with you ! these songs are waiting to be made, they were all probably here, and if not, well then holy cow for musician's although i would like to think it wasn't, sounds more pure to the soul and knowing you made this amazing song !
Absolutely love this song! Spent 3.25 years overseas in the service. 2 years in & out of Vietnam; then 1.25 years in Guam. Got out, went straight to Tyler, TX for college (late 1970), heard Mountain was opening for Black Sabbath in Dallas & hustled over to catch it. Left right after Mountain’s act - they were phenomenal! Loved your reaction, man! It’s pretty much the same as mine every time I hear this song! J
OMG... Jamel! You are making me laugh so hard watching you react to this song! You are truly a character. You and your cowbell. 👍 By the way... I bought a facemask from your store. Magnificent idea. Used the discount code so thank you for that. 10% off is 10% off right? Stay smiling, Lord knows you keep us all smiling. 🇨🇦 Luv from Canada
Thanks for getting to Mountain! The greatest snarling rock band ever. Please also react to "Never In My Life", "Nantucket Sleighride", "Don't Look Around", "Theme For An Imaginary Western" or ANY of their other tracks from their first four albums.
Jamel... excellent reaction as usual. You're really bringing back some great memories. I was lucky enough to see Leslie West and Mountain perform live. That was a good night 😉 Thanks
Blue Oyster Cult has a new album coming 10/9. Albert Bouchard (The guy hitting the cowbell.) has a new album (Reimagining of a B.O.C. album) coming out 11/6. 2020 has been a suck year. But at least some of these classic bands releasing new stuff is a silver lining.
If you want a great old song, check this out. "Song Title: "Time Has Come Today." Band Name : "The Chambers Brothers." An all Black Group that played Psychedelic Rock in the late 1960s. You've probably heard it on commercials, TV shows or movie scenes. You want cowbell? You ain't seen nothin yet. There is a long and short version of the song. Play the Album or record version, not any live version. You want the original on the record album. A song everyone has heard, but never thinks to mention. Thank you Friend.
Most everybody knows 'Time Has Come Today' but there's other great songs on that album: 'All Strung Out Over You', ' Uptown', 'I Can't Stand It'. Their white drummer is terrific.
You mush be reading my heart list my # 1 song of all times as me be a guitar player ,and have been playing for over 57 years. you hit the spot . Black Sabbath and Mountain with Mississippi Queen my first concert was Mountain and Black Sabbath open for them 1971. And both bands are my favorite of all times.
This song has been on my ski mix for decades. I play the mix in the ski repair shop I run. I've probably heard this song over a thousand times. Cranks me up every time and always ends too soon.
Some say Mountain was the first hard rock band. I’m not sure if that’s true, but it comes fairly close to the accurate. The guitarist ( and singer on this tune) is a beast.
I think you're right Paul Pelosi, about Mountain. Music sound really started changing end of 60s with super group Cream, then 1970 Mountain turned loose with Mississippi Queen & blew the radios up! Thus the Hard Rock sound emerged with groups like Free, Deep Purple, etc. Still my fav, great music & great memories!
I'll never forget being introduced to the live side of Mountain's Flowers of Evil album sitting in the local rock star's dorm room at school where his stereo system was connected to a very very large guitar amp. Dream Sequence was playing very loudly. My head exploded and is still not quite the same over 50 years later.
Okay my Mama says hi again! She really wants me to tell you that. 🤣 She hasn’t created a RUclips account so she can’t comment herself. She said “Jamel is too cute for words”.
Hi Jamel! Thank you for playing MS Queen. Leslie West played lead guitar and Felix Pappalardi played bass guitar. I greatly enjoyed your reaction to this classic rock song, especially about the cowbell! Your RUclips site is one of my favorites mainly because of you and your positive outlook of the world. You always make me smile. I hope I can meet you personally some day to share a meal and good conversation. You are the best of humanity. Best wishes and blessings to you always! Tom
Straight up, in your face Rockin' Blues. Crunch brought to you courtesy of Gibson Les Paul Goldtop through a wall of Marshalls. Saw these guys in Seattle back in the early '70's. Brought down the house.
I saw Lesley west in connecticut in a small club about 20 years ago. There was no stage and I stood right in front of him. One of the best concert memories that I havr
Thank you for doing this video on Mississippi Queen from the band Mountain. Loved hearing Leslie West play and even more cool watching him through the great thanks of the net, perform. So cool how two minutes can rock like this. There also is a video on youtube showing a performance at Randall's Island from the year 1970. People coming from miles around to watch Leslie do his thing on the mic while riffing that guitar. Great video. thanks for your videos. They make Da Bear's day. Many bad days for this bear. (Freaking car frame broke making this bear feel gloomy :( Da Bear though got cheered up by your vid. Keep them coming. Ok, a year ago this was made, but that is ok. Made my day. Putting the big paw on that like button :) As always
It brings a smile on my face when I see someone stank face some rock and roll. This is such a great song. Leslie West (the lead singer) said they made it short on purpose because they wanted the radio stations to prefer it, shorter songs = more time for advertisements. sidenote: That 45 had Mississippi Queen on both sides.

I love your reactions brother Jamal.
You would love ‘Alright now’ by FREE Jamel.
I think the most famous cow bell rock n roll song of all time is ‘honky tonk women’ by The Rolling Stones.
Enjoying your channel.Love that you have a love of all music.Keep it coming. How about giving us the following.
Donald Bryd-Domiminos
Paco de Lucia-Entre dos Aguas
Two different genre but beautiful.
Peace
One of the nastiest, most snarling tunes in the history of rock.
Well chosen, sir!
Couldn't agree more - and Leslie West is under-recognized as an early influence on hard rock, imsao.
@@kdbadk Down and dirty....I do what I can. Oh my. Almost forgot how fantastic this tune was
"Snarling"...couldn't have chosen a better word to describe this tune. Thanks man!
I feel the same way about barracuda. That riff to me is simple, but absolutely killer!
@@drainbabies That IS a badass tune. Ann's vocals are also bloody legendary.
RIP Leslie, another guitarist rises to the heavens.
I saw Mountain in 1969 - first Atlanta Pop Festival. Real Rock & Roll!
RIP brother Leslie. He had a difficult life.
Good vibe
U always accent the PO$itivre.god bless
Agree.. 💯 %
Rest in Paradise!!!🎵🎼🎶🥁🎸
"I wish this song was longer" said everyone who ever heard this.
Not me.
@Coley Rogers As relevant as yours.
Go live. Version with Frampton is also great ,
No doubt
Yeah, but that's just because strippers like it..
One of the charms of this song is that it spends 0 time warming you up and 0 time cooling you down. It's pure concentrated rock. It hits you in the face with a 2x4 and then walks away.
This may be the most perfect comment ever - just like a baseball bat in musical form 👍
that's what makes the song special, it just beats on you from beginning to end. But so do their other songs "Never In My Life" and "Sitting On A Rainbow"
As a drummer... this to me is exactly how a snare drum should sound. Crisp, clean... it sounds like a machine gun.
Just so darn perfect!
👍🏾🇺🇸
Awesome explanation of this song!!
Well said man!
This guy seems genuinely friendly. A nice change on the stupid angry net.
Sat next to him on a plane to LA, CA.
Great guy we talked almost the whole flight.
I've been listening for a few months,and yes,Jamel is the genuine article!👊
Yeah, sounds off like a gem
If you’re talking about Jamel, he seems like a peach. I’d love to chat with him.
@@johnbanahan6553 That's awesome i love this guy, he'd be an awesome friend ! glad to hear that !
My dad saw Mountain at a musical festival in the Midwest in the early 70s. His buddy was sitting on top of their van, waiting for the band to start playing, and the first few guitar notes they played were so loud it literally knocked him off the roof of the van.
Mountain, iron maiden and grand funk railroad loudest concert ever i have been to. It was painfully awesome
What a great story!
I would have loved to have seen that! Hope is was buzzed enough he didn't get hurt.
@@ezo4 Genesis also played at earthquake level...
That would have been at Milwaukee's Summerfest July of 1971, it was raining and quite muddy , the beer was flowing Wisconsin had just lowered beer drinking age to 18 and I was there !! My ears rang for days
I like the fact that he's willing to listen to it.
I like this guy..
He knows good music.
Dee, jamal is the bomb! He loves and enjoys all music. Love him!!!
“Right out the gate?!?! With the cowbell?!?!
They didn’t even ease me in!” Love it! 🤘🏻
Guitarist Leslie West died yesterday, from complications from diabetes. Founder of the Rock Band "Mountain" (Mississippi Queen) in 1969, West was a friend of Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townsend, guitarist for "The Who" and many other rock guitarists. West was age 75. We are losing the greats, of Classic Rock and Roll from both age, and illness. We will always have their music.
God Bless
He also lost one of his legs to the illness.
@@michaelboyce9373 he was close to my cousin (who played bass with him at the woodstock reunion.) his widow and child knew him well. Very sad as they pass on. and yes, this is one of the great rock songs of all time
❤🙏🙏🙏
Rest in Peace Leslie "Mountain" West :(
Leslie West and that Les Paul Jr. brings out the stank every time!
Love that angry guitar sound. Such a great guitar player. The first time I heard Mississippi Queen it was like a punch in the face. I was stunned. Such an underrated band.
@@kolchak357 Live Mountain is awesome especially Roll Over Beethoven and Theme From An Imaginary Western. West ,Bruce and Laing was a great band too.
@@kolchak357 nikki
Was blessed to have seen Mountain live back in 1974.,a fantastic concert,my years were ringing for 2 days after
I was a teenager when this song came out, for about the next 5 years it was a party anthem of my generation. You hear that cowbell, you knew it was time to TURN IT UP and get your party on! Great reaction Jamel, thanks and take care.
"MISSISSIPPI QUEEN" THE OUTRAGEOUS LESLIE WEST ON LEAD GUITAR. A DAMN TOO THE POINT RIFF... ONE OF THE COOLEST SONGS EVER. THANK GOD FOR THE 70'S...
Can't believe 27 people gave it a thumbs down. They have no clue to one of the best classic rock songs of all time. It's one of my favorites.
I have never laughed so hard in joy of watching someone having such a good time listening to Leslie West. May he Rest In Peace. Enjoy everything.
Another great song by Mountain is "Theme From an Imaginary Western." I think you'd like the lyrics, too. Written by Jack Bruce of Cream. There are versions done by him on RUclips as well.
Actually, music by Jack Bruce, lyrics by Pete Brown.
@@MichaelPhillipsatGreyOwlStudio Oh, that's right. Thanks for the correction!
Leslie's solo version is awesome, too.
Incidentally, the original Jack Bruce version from his album "Songs for a Tailor" is really great, as well as the whole album. Very underrated IMO.
Such a beautiful song!
"That's nasty!" I can't think of 2 better words to describe this song.
Love this song !! Please try “I’d Love To Change The World” Ten Years After, studio version with lyrics. Thanks as always Jamel!!
AGREE X100%
Agree xxx
The late,great Alvin Lee.
Just listened to Ten Years After last night. I'd love to change the world is then and now. Timeless.
What a great band ten years after
...we all wish it was longer!
One of the greatest songs of the rock era.
With a sad heart😢 Leslie West passed away today at 75. I was. A young man as my dad blasted that song on our home stereo. Stil sends chills through me 50 yesrs later. RIP Les
I didn't know he died. Does anybody know the cause of death?
Heart probs
@@mikepreciado7807 Okay, thanks.
What a great memory
I got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell.
...Doctah, Doctah, gimme da news...:)!!
Man, he was really hittin that thing in the begining! Almost rolled off my couch 😂 laughing!
Yaaaassss !!!!!! :-) (I miss the Will Ferrell years of SNL !!!)
OK, Bruce Dickinson!
@@wpollock1 yeah THAT Bruce Dickinson
Another great cowbell song to check out my man, is Honky Tonk women by The Rolling Stones
...ohhhh, DEFFO...:)!!
Haha I just said this before I scrolled down
@@williamswiniuch7527 me too.
Hair of the Dog by Nazareth! Has plenty of cowbell!! This is a beauty though!!
Leslie West’s guitar sounds as big as the mountains
Those P-90 pickups on his LP Jr.
Nastiest, dirtiest, grittiest guitar tone ever.
@@stephenhanson3647 And giant Sunn PA heads.
God rest his soul
The most filthy, down and dirty guitar tone EVER !!!!
It's just damn disrespectful lol
Oh, yeah! Every mix tape I made back in my high school days started off with Mississippi Queen. Just good ol' kick ass rock'n'roll.
Probably so
P 90s. Got that tone
Oh yeah. Quite accidental. He did this with his LP Junior through a Peavey bass amp. Leslie West had one of the best tones of anyone. Nothing beats a single P90 pick up for pure crunch!!!
Leslie West one of the most underrated guitarist of all time.
Leslie West is well regarded as a monster guitarist and is not under rated by anyone who has heard him. there is no rating system it’s just if a guitarist is bad ass then so be it! peace
Underrated as in he is not talk about as other “monster guitarist “ if there was a rating system he should be at the top tier.
Well in my crowd we talk about him.
but my crowd is pretty old.
@@alanoliver5762 I agree....Only underrated by people who never heard his music.
West was one of the greats and I loved his style. Dream Sequence from Flowers of Evil is a powerhouse!!
Perfect blues/rock "Call and Response" song. Yes, Leslie should have written a third verse.
My favorite words to hear:
“We ain’t gonna waste no more time,....let’s jump right into it!” 🙂
One of the best songs to feature a cowbell ever!
I was lucky enough to see Leslie West and Mountain several times in the 70s damn what a great show.
Sorry I got see Mountain once! Opened for Satriani. Leslie waa an original. Funny. Rehab stories, Borscht belt humor. RIP. I was listening to him the same day. Didn't hear he passed to the day after💔
@Jon Williams That is cool. Leslie had great tone. Corky is funny too. That must of been a hell of a show: Sab & Mountain
@Jon Williams Yeah. Everybody REMEMBERS THE FIRST TIME THEY HEARD SABBATH!LIFECHANGING.DARK & OMINOUS.When I started to get into them in Junior High it was already a dozen years old. My brother's friend' s dad saw them a few times back in the day. W/ BOC & the tour with VH.Wish I cld of seen thst. Kiss opened for them too
When music was music. RIP Leslie.
This is bbq and beer music 😁😁 I call this dirty southern rock. One of the best.
hell of a good road song
@@LyonHall1 Leslie West is from New York
@@ronnie5129 South Carolina here. My Mom is from around where Mountain was from. This is Otis Rush meets Sabbath
Dudes from Mountain were from Queens and Long Island. So were BOC something about cowbell and Long Island? lol
the best to pole dance/strip to...lol my kinda music to perform to...
The reason it is only two minutes is cause the human body and mind can’t take any more.
Best Comment Award...Lol...
True. Too much groove to handle.
You'll pop a blood vessel by holding the stankface any longer. 🤘😙
Couldn’t have said it better my self 👍
I’m gonna steal your comment Cletus.
I love this song. Pure perfection. That piano you hear at the end is actually playing through the whole song just hiding out in the background.
Leslie West kicked ass on guitar and vocals, great tune.
And another angel, has ascended into the heavens house band .. R.I.P.
Love your take on the tunes l grew up with. So many I could go on all day, but you should try slow ride by fog hat for sure.
I first heard this album in 1969 when I was in high school. Yea, the second it comes on, you're caught up in it.

A very straightforward banger, but their music is usually more developed. Nantucket Sleighride would be a great Mountain followup. A fisherman story song
The guitarist Leslie West is another top tier player from the era.
That was the album we had in the house growing up. Didnt have the one with Mississippi Queen
I agree.. Nantucket Sleighride rocks. I saw Mountain a number of years ago when I was at the Hard Rock in Dallas... It was amazing.
An enthusiastic 2nd for the Sleighride
Leslie West's "Vagrants" played at my Father's HS Graduation.
This song was actually written after a gig on Nantucket. The drummer was captivated by a girl from Mississippi on the dance floor
13 billion years ago, when the Universe was a zeptosecond old, the riff from Mississippi Queen already existed. West discovered it. It was always there, waiting.
That's how I feel about Dark Star. It's always happening... just sometimes the band is playing it and sometimes it's not.
I totally agree with you ! these songs are waiting to be made, they were all probably here, and if not, well then holy cow for musician's although i would like to think it wasn't, sounds more pure to the soul and knowing you made this amazing song !
Absolutely love this song! Spent 3.25 years overseas in the service. 2 years in & out of Vietnam; then 1.25 years in Guam. Got out, went straight to Tyler, TX for college (late 1970), heard Mountain was opening for Black Sabbath in Dallas & hustled over to catch it. Left right after Mountain’s act - they were phenomenal!

Stank face - the universal face of bluesy guitar.
“You know she was a dancer she moved better on wine” I can picture that in my head!
I move better on wine too😂😂
OMG... Jamel! You are making me laugh so hard watching you react to this song! You are truly a character. You and your cowbell. 👍 By the way... I bought a facemask from your store. Magnificent idea.

RIP Leslie, I will forever cover Mississippi Queen cause it rocked me to my soul.
I just KNEW I'd love your reaction to this as soon as I saw the title. You did not disappoint! 😁
Thank you for keeping real music alive!
We all need more cowbell!!
Thanks for getting to Mountain! The greatest snarling rock band ever. Please also react to "Never In My Life", "Nantucket Sleighride", "Don't Look Around", "Theme For An Imaginary Western" or ANY of their other tracks from their first four albums.
Jamel... excellent reaction as usual. You're really bringing back some great memories. I was lucky enough to see Leslie West and Mountain perform live. That was a good night 😉 Thanks
The SNL skit is Blue Oyster Cult playing "Don't Fear the Reaper".
More cowbell
Christopher Walken as a producer he needs MoRE CowbEll !!!!
Blue Oyster Cult has a new album coming 10/9. Albert Bouchard (The guy hitting the cowbell.) has a new album (Reimagining of a B.O.C. album) coming out 11/6.
2020 has been a suck year. But at least some of these classic bands releasing new stuff is a silver lining.
Stupid skit that had to ruin one of the best classic rock songs of all time. I'm still pissed off at SNL for making it and people for repeating it.
DominicanManowarFan lighten up
Yeah, it needs to be about 3 minutes longer. Such a jam. Gotta play it LOUD. 🤘🤩
If you want a great old song, check this out. "Song Title: "Time Has Come Today." Band Name : "The Chambers Brothers." An all Black Group that played Psychedelic Rock in the late 1960s. You've probably heard it on commercials, TV shows or movie scenes. You want cowbell? You ain't seen nothin yet. There is a long and short version of the song.

Definitely the long version.
Most everybody knows 'Time Has Come Today' but there's other great songs on that album:
'All Strung Out Over You', ' Uptown', 'I Can't Stand It'. Their white drummer is terrific.
Listening to that song is like getting too much laughing gas at the dentist. Just trippy, man!
Cool song for sure!
We have a need for Time Has Come Today!!! Got to take this advice Jamal!!!
You mush be reading my heart list my # 1 song of all times as me be a guitar player ,and have been playing for over 57 years. you hit the spot . Black Sabbath and Mountain with Mississippi Queen my first concert was Mountain and Black Sabbath open for them 1971. And both bands are my favorite of all times.
I saw Mountain in concert in July of 1970. I was already a huge fan of Mountain. Great show, lots of fun. :-)
J aka Mel,
Love Leslie West...lead guitarist and vocalist here!
Your boy here in Atlanta!!
I can't imagine how powerful this song was live with Leslie's HiWatt amps and his custom guitar. Just damn!!!
Leslie loves his P-90s!
Sunn Amplifiers were in Leslie's rig when this song was recorded.
There are so many GREAT songs by Mountain, just play their entire greatest hits album.
This song has been on my ski mix for decades. I play the mix in the ski repair shop I run. I've probably heard this song over a thousand times. Cranks me up every time and always ends too soon.
One of the heavyist guitar parts ever through a whole song. They definitely don't make songs like this anymore.
2:38 was damn heavy to me
Sure they do you just ain't looking in the right places
@@DeusSalis finally someone else gets it
One of my favorites!! Who doesn't need a little more cow bell in their life, right...lol
I love your channel its great to see people keeping great music alive god bless🙏
Mountain and Melanie on the same day? Magic.
I saw Mountain sing this song in concert about 30 years ago. Great song! Love what you do!
This song drove our parent's crazy, at full volume
'Stealer’s Wheel' - "Stuck In The Middle With You" (Listen for the cowbell and it is featured in the (Official Live Video) God Bless!
Who pulled this from the back of the rack? I haven’t heard this in ages. 🤘

She is pretty damn adorable. 😄
If you're a cowbell fan, check out Honky Tonk Woman by the Rolling Stones.
And if Jamal is also into killer guitar riffs, "Monkey Man," is a killer Stones tune.
Please don't. thank you.
Another good one for some cowbell is rock of ages
More cowbell. The reaper
Another epic tune by Mountain is
"Nantucket sleigh ride".
Very different from Mississippi Queen, but just as awesome!
Sleigh Ride is a great song. And don't forget "Theme from an Imaginary Western"
Hi Jamel! Thank you for playing MS Queen. Leslie West played lead guitar and Felix Pappalardi played bass guitar.

Deep Purple "Space Truckin'" my friend. You will love it as much as their other tunes. "Woman From Tokyo" too :)
The band is named for the guitarist Leslie West, who besides having the nastiest tone, was an absolutely huge human.
He's still playing today. And he's lost a lot of weight.
And lost a leg from diabetes
Going through a rough stretch, and watching your video reactions and listening to your message has helped me a lot. God Bless You...keep rockin
Straight up, in your face Rockin' Blues. Crunch brought to you courtesy of Gibson Les Paul Goldtop through a wall of Marshalls. Saw these guys in Seattle back in the early '70's. Brought down the house.
May he rest i peace...a great guitarist and a mountain of a man.
Man I haven’t heard the song for a minute so this was really fun. Somehow, I forgot about all the cowbell!! 😆😆😆😃😁😁😁🤩🤩 ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
There's a cool video of Leslie West and Peter Frampton jamming on this tune in their advanced years.
Seriously?!? Wow, gonna have to look that up.
@@carlaharrington5120 Right here: Leslie West & Peter Frampton LIVE!!! ruclips.net/video/VMhPgo2fofg/видео.html
I saw Lesley west in connecticut in a small club about 20 years ago. There was no stage and I stood right in front of him. One of the best concert memories that I havr
This song is Sooooooo underrated. A TRUE classic. I've heard people say that it's average at best !!!!!
Oh yes. This is it. My neighbors love this stuff. At least never hear the complaints.
Leslie West..."The Great Fatsby". Mega talent.
Chamber Brother's, Time has come today = more cow bells
There's other great songs on the album:
'All Strung Out Over You', ' Uptown', 'I Can't Stand It'. Plenty of cowbell all around.
Cowbell solo!
The first time I heard this song on the radio I thought it was Steppenwolf ! Great song !!
Thank you for doing this video on Mississippi Queen from the band Mountain. Loved hearing Leslie West play and even more cool watching him through the great thanks of the net, perform. So cool how two minutes can rock like this. There also is a video on youtube showing a performance at Randall's Island from the year 1970. People coming from miles around to watch Leslie do his thing on the mic while riffing that guitar. Great video. thanks for your videos. They make Da Bear's day. Many bad days for this bear. (Freaking car frame broke making this bear feel gloomy :( Da Bear though got cheered up by your vid. Keep them coming. Ok, a year ago this was made, but that is ok. Made my day. Putting the big paw on that like button :) As always
Man, you could almost see Jamal's face melt when that guitar starts up! Love it.
Mississippi queen live at randall island 1970 is longer and legendary
Mountain have so many great songs. Nantucket sleigh ride is one of their most famous one.
Another great jam. Thanks Jamel. Have a beautiful week. 💜🎶🙏🏽😊
Leslie West had a powerful voice, I cannot get enough of it.
It brings a smile on my face when I see someone stank face some rock and roll. This is such a great song. Leslie West (the lead singer) said they made it short on purpose because they wanted the radio stations to prefer it, shorter songs = more time for advertisements. sidenote: That 45 had Mississippi Queen on both sides.
You should make a tee shirt that says "Don't Just Listen to The Music, Feel It!"
For this to be a early '70's song it had a great sound. Not many bands had that heavy riffing.
Love Mountain. Check out rick derringer Rock ‘n’ roll Hoochie coo
One our greatest songs when we were growing up.!! I’m 62 and my husband had a band in jr high school-high school.!!❤️🙏
