- Hopefully this is seen as an improvement on earlier attempts at this clip. This performance was at the Cincinnati Pop Festival, at Crosley Field (the old Reds stadium). Highlights of the festival were later broadcast as "Midsummer Rock."
Anyone who implies that Mountain doesn't deserve mention in the list of late 60s Supergroups doesn't know music. My humble opinion.
RIP Leslie West...
Exactly Fair!!!! PS I haven't heard any other group, with such a unique combination of super voice, remarkable guitar tone and lead playing, ever since. Leslie also sings (simultaneously!!) at very high pitches without compromising his male voice.If you have in mind Gedy Lee or Robert Plant you'll get what I mean by that.
Hear! Hear!
@@HSTOZA ha ha !
Your humble opinion was spot on 9 years ago, and it's spot on now.
If this could be the last thing I hear in my life, I'd go to sleep with a big smile.
This from a 71 year old guy who saw tons of live performances as I grew up.
Leslie was in a class by himself and to this day, when I play this as loud as I
can, I flashback to people like this. I feel so lucky I was around to hear them
all. And, I will never forget a single one.
P Jones Couldn’t have said it any better..
God bless you, my brother
Amen, Brother!
ditto
What a fantastic comment, hope you are still listening.
RIP to the guy who made that LP Junior sing, Leslie West. A big loss.
What a sound...
“Theme” still one of my all time favorites. At 78, that’s saying a lot. RIP Leslie.
I thought A freight train came through my house when my dad first put on never in my life. Im 35 mountain will live on forever. rip
Such a big loss and yes a Les Paul Junior one pickup that’s all Leslie needed and what a sound it was!! He was one of the first amps on 10! His solos where all tasteful.
@@michaelheller8841 we all know leslies amp was on 11. 😆
Love the way Felix Pappalardi sings this song. Such a good voice.
Agreed! I have to be honest, I prefer this version to the original written by Jack Bruce of Cream. The song wouldn't exist without Mr Bruce, But Mountain really made it their own
Although Mountain never sold millions and millions records, their influence cannot understated. Leslie West is one of the most emotional guitar players ... the solo in the studio version of Theme is one of the best ever recorded. If you ask many of the well know hard rock guitarists of the day, each will indicate that LW was a tremendous influence. Where would Cream be if Felix Pappalardi did not impart his musical genius on their platinum selling albums. This being said ... Mountain belongs in the R&R Hall of Fame.
truth ,..LW was a master at carrying the melody from the song into his solo's ,..better than anyone who ever played the guitar and that is the key otherwise it is just noise and one more jam that goes nowhere !!!his control when he is on is unmatched ,..most tasteful licks you will ever hear !!!
Yep! The first solo that was so emotional it blew me away. Just tet right fit in the haunting sound of the song. Learning guitar I finally nailed it and still play it occasionally. Leslie West inspired so many great players that came later.
I’ve said this 1 million times already but Clapton is mechanical compared to West
Yes!!!
Get A Grip Band les west tone was fantastic .
Theme From An Imaginary is in my top 50 of greatest rock and roll songs of all time! 😯 😯 😯 😯 😊😊😊😊
Top 25
I loved Mountain They were one of my favorites The where legends This was the 70s It was a magical time I’ll never forget
I wore out Nantucket Sleighride in high school. Very underated album. A true ROCK classic
Yup. Angel's tired Angel's, tired down inside their shoes...
So was "Mt. Climbing".. the LP this track was on.
I knew Leslie, we played together. All of you know, he and Mountain were just fabulous. RIP my friend
I was there that morning..i was standing next to the ultimate Tommy Bolin..and we both was amazed by Leslie's soaring solo..it was magical and soul touching..what a great time to be alive!
Leslie as I remember him as a kid and now all these years later to me - was unique. He was a lyrical blues player. Nobody sounded like him. He never rushed a phrase. He let ideas breath like a horn player. A monster. I agree w many here- a truly underrated guitarist and under appreciated band.
I agree with your comments but that “underrated” cliche is so stupid. Anyone who plays guitar or appreciates it, knows Leslie was one of the greatest.
There’s nothing underrated about it.
@@chasbodaniels1744 one can deeply enjoy any artist- but imo to appreciate an artists skills, one needs to have, too, studied their art.
Since im “ stupid”- maybe you can help out this cretin and post your playing or credentials, just so i know I learned from both a learned and- skilled artisan. Ty.
@@golds04 Two great fans of LW are annoying each other.
The “underrated” trope is so overused that’s it’s meaningless. That’s my original point. I didn’t say *you* were stupid.
Well said!
@@parallaxcontinuum7898 nice!
Possibly the most underrated rock band of all time !!!
Priceless. Felix Pappalardi renders one of the most soaring, majestic melodies of rock perfectly in any live recording I've ever heard of this song, this capture no exception. And listen to his bass lines during Leslie's guitar solo. Soaring in their own right. So fat, with just the correct hint of distortion.
Yes, and Pappalardi often echoed West's guitar one bar behind. It gave the music depth and an extra color of melancholy. Great!
The song was written by Jack Bruce and Pete Brown.
@@hartmutcc63 Yes, I think we all know this.
I watched this on tv in 1970 and it rocked my world. Leslie West’s guitar tone was absolutely the heaviest thing out there. Felix Pappalardi was a tremendous bassist with the voice of an angel. I miss both of them tremendously.
Felix Pappalardi was a musical genius and Leslie West was an absolute virtuoso. More people should recognize the former's massive influence in music production and the latter's in playing technique but we are still blessed to have these memories preserved.
My father and Felix were best friends on Nantucket :D
I inherited a fucking badass synth from him, thing had cigarette burns in it

@@olivermurphy887 Felix Pappalardi's father, Felix, Sr. was my dentist.
@@spodvoll very cool. My father was a doctor on Nantucket, they got along because of their mutual interest in classical music :)
This is lilting and Majestic a song for all ages what a band will never see the likes of these Giants again in this age of the death of Art and artists
Nice to see shots of an audience laid back and enjoying the music. I grew up in the 70s(I'm 60) and this is the vibe I recall from the concerts I used to attend. No assholes running around trying to bug people and ruin your fun.
One of the greatest rock songs ever written!
Look how peaceful and just having a great time the crowd is. No mosh pits ..just a good vibe groove.... how times have changed!
burningredsun ... songs were mellow and relaxing... when did violent angry become cool?
Altamont?
@@thisistheworldtoday Mellow and relaxing my ass. GFR ruclips.net/video/vYbzO3QKDOg/видео.html
The solo in the studio version of this song is one of the most emotional solos I have ever heard. One of my favorite all time solos.
This is better
Every once in a while when you seen a band in the 70's,You knew the music but something special happens and you become wrapped up in the whole set.This happened with Mountain in '74 at the Miss.River Festival.An outdoor venue outside of Edwardsville IL.with rolling hills, ideal acoustics and atmosphere.I stood next to the stage and got lost in Felix and Leslie's music.One of those rare magical events.
R.I.P. Felix Pappalardi and Jack Bruce!
And now Mr. West. The master of Less is More lead rides. Every note (and every silence) counts.
So the whole band is gone now huh?
@@dmmichelledolan6459
Drummer Corky Laing is still with us.
@@dmmichelledolan6459 Corky Laing the drummer is still alive!
ANYONE WHO DOES NOT THINK THAT MOUNTAIN IS ONE OF THE PREMIERE SUPERGROUPS OF THE 60's AND 70's HAS NO CLUE WHAT GOOD MUSIC IS. TALENTED, ELOQUENT, FORMIDABLE, INCREDIBLE ARTISTS. BAR NONE.
shhh, we're listenin to the music. talk less.
I followed them around from concert to concert in the NJ NY area as a youth
One of the greatest of all American bands. Only Bruce and Pappalardit knew how to play bass like that. RIP
Thomass Blaquelourde And sing while doing it!
How long did they send Felix's wife away for shooting him?
Not long enough.....
She actually did a couple of years, sold her Cream royalties to Mountain manager Bud Prager for $25k in cash and promptly disappeared. Recently died alone in Mexico from cancer.
Check out Jack Bruce he does her rendition of this as a tribute to Felix pappalardi
Mountain, one of the greatest bands from back in the glory days!
This sounds always makes me cry
Same! When I first heard this it took my breath away! ❤
The greatest most imaginative dreamy music ever ... Love late 60's to mid 70's rock ... Truly was the golden age of guitar rock and free form rock amd roll ... Feel so lucky to have been born at a time that I can appreciate it .
Wow! Leslie’s tone on this is freaking amazing!
Felix was so great, he probably sings this particular tune better than Jack Bruce who wrote it. And that is saying a damn lot because Jack is a top 10 all-time vocalist as far as i am concerned. And Leslie shows that you can play a great, great solo without playing a 1000 notes a minute. His guitar tone is terrific.
Much better than Creem...Way more soul.
@@alvingrimes7053 👍
I don't know if Felix sang it better than Jack, but every bit as well, not to mention that he was a superb bassist and songwriter in his own right. It's tragic the way he passed. Add in Leslie's guitar excellence and vocals, the contributions of Steve and Corky, and Mountain remains one of the most talented, but underrated groups of all time.
You are absolutely right.
I loved Felix for bassplaying and singing, especially this Song.
@@hansfuzy1146 No doubt Hans. Felix was talented. Ty for shout out.
Love this song. Best rock ballad ever done. I can't believe that Clapton turned it down when Jack Bruce wrote it. Mountain made it their own anyways. Leslie West has got to be one of the top lead guitarists of all time, and Felix had the voice of an angel, as well as being a fantastic bassist.
+Gary Clark EC rarely gets called out for being a petulant baby!
One thing Felix. Sure not needed 5. .357. Shots in his back..Bitch..she is...+ Mr. Lendin. Sure never .never.never.4 All he gave ...US..SHOT. IN THE BACK.WOW....A WORLD LOST...ALLEN........x
There is a very good and quite different version of the song by the British band Colosseum with Chris Farlowe on vocals.First song I heard by Mountain was "don't turn around" on a sampler,I went straight out and bought Nantucket Sleighride and Flowers of Evil,brilliant.
@@allenharvey7991 It was a Derringer and it was one shot that hit him in the neck.
Never buy your girl a gun for a birthday present, especially if you're an infidel.
Another great version of this song was done by a real hidden gem of a band, Greenslade.
I keep coming back to this wonderfully great Live video performance from Mountain! The contrast of the pure beauty of Felix Pappalardi's vocals in contrast to the powerful, yet oh so melodic singing of Leslie West's Les Paul Junior guitar along with the power of Corky's drums. This is to me probably the best live performance of Mountain ever captured on video. I was at this show and I previously commented 12 years ago that I was at this Cincinnati Pop Festival at Crosly Field when I was 16, and I am so happy that this video was captured - It's haunting to me. My only complaint is that it's way too short! I want this to go on for at least another 15 minutes. This is a thing of Pure and Powerful Beauty!!!
I was watching a Woodstock doc and this song was in the credits. I then looked up other versions, by Jack Bruce as well. This version is the best! I play it over and over. I wish they were included in the movie in 69 so I would have known more of them. The imagery in this video is what I remember most and miss about the 70's. West's tone is so perfect on this. Glad you were there!
yeah...this song and Nantucket Sleigh-ride nearly bring me to
tears, when I play them...so dynamically inspirational...
so beautiful
I wish Leslie's solo at the end just went on forever... I've played back must've been over 1000 times over the years and each time, wished its went on for hours... literally hypnotizes me
Leslie great on guitar. Let's not forget the beautiful voice of Felix Pappalardi. The man could sing. What a shame he wa gone so young.
johnnydodger What a shame his drug fueled wife GAIL COLLINS murdered him!
@@recordguy4321 and she lied...
Truly an underrated, forgotten masterpiece. What a song, so much emotion it makes you want to cry.
I cried when I heard this, and I cry for the next gens that don't know why this is so special. Going to live shows now comes with greater risks.
Great song by such an underrated band. Thank you for posting.
This is a really catchy tune and if you listen to it a few times it will be ingrained into your mind forever.
Written by Jack Bruce and Pete Brown.
Truly amazing guitar by Leslie West.
the lead break gives me goose bumps every time, one of the best songs ever written!
No one sounds like Leslie West. ABSOLUTE One of a Kind sound. Jack Bruce said Leslie had the greatest vibrato he ever heard on guitar. THIS from a man who also played with Eric Clapton among others Rock's royalty.
from a Leslie fan....Leslie, today plays nowhere near when he was in his prime. While Eric his still great to this day. It's all good.
Classic Bob Eric still plays exactly what he played 30 years ago. Leslie has moved on from where he was. Clapton has gone stale while Leslie is still vital.
MrBrutus139 I disagree " to each his own" Still they're both living legends. I'm sadden by recent the death of Jack Bruce. RIP
I believe his name is Jake Bruce!? I'm so sorry i did my homework and I was wrong his name is Jack Bruce. PS i love the Cream live at the Royal Albert Hall!!!!! Sad to hear about one of the Worlds Best Bass Player Passing on.
depper hard to top that West vibrato.
This brought tears to my eyes. I'm guilty of knowing them only because of their overrated song " Mississippi Queen" but this one is just beautiful. The album "Climbing" makes me think of overcoming obstacles in life. This song comes to mind now whenever I'm going through obstacles. Thanks Mountain. Rip to Felix and Jack, hope ya'll are rockin together in heaven
🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸
Another great -a nd highly emotional Mountain song was "For Yasguir`s Farm."
RIP Mr West. We will never forget your guitar playing and your powerful vocals...
The link between Leslie and Felix is unmistakable in this footage. They are feeding off each other and creating, unbeknown to them, the best bit of music we have ever heard.
I saw Mountain 3 times between 69-71. I'm sure their influence on many groups that followed is greatly underestimated, and I know Lesley West's patented guitar sound is. I had the pleasure of being in a room with him in 71, and got to see and hear him jam on my 58 Strat. Still can't forget it.
Michael Tedesco Kinda like seeing Joe Walsh and The James Gang in 1971.that was pretty good
Agreed.
stonelove919 Charlie Daniels opened for Joe Walsh in Tucson around then, did a phenomenal set then when Walsh came out and opened with that lame, tame Rocky Mountain High he was practically booed off the stage.
Franklin Colletta That song was Walsh post James Gang around 73.James Gang Rides Again and Thirds were a little earlier which was when I saw them. Believe me, there wasn't any booing. Different band, etc.Seeing Paul McCartney does not equal seeing the Beatles. Ya dig?
Franklin is obviously thinking of Joe Denver.
Leslie's tone and Felix's tenor.......amazing combo
Listen to this song recently this year, and it does not compare with anything I've heard before. When sometimes the older people say "the music from before was better" is true.
leslie's lead playing always
reminded me of violins!
sweet...smooth...elegant...pure-
cutting , right to the heart!
damn...so good!
NO ONE EVER gives a shout out to their fine melatron player, Steve Knight!
I don't believe he used a Mellotron, but he is hardly ever given a shot on camera. I think it's because he looked so different from the other members of the band. He does look out of place.
He was hidden for a reason
Hammond
Yup, Hammond organ.
So true. Steve Knight was one-fourth of the band.
RIP Leslie West. This concert might be the best example of his playing.....his TONE!!
beautiful song and what a loud clear guitar tone west gets here
Sunn PA heads cranked
@@superfuzzymomma Don't forget the les paul jr
P90's RULE!
I recently heard this on the radio for the first time and Wow! Hauntingly beautiful ballad played by Mountain. I can’t stop listening over and over again. It’s PERFECTION!
It simply doesn't get any better than this.
It's beautiful. It touches you and you don't know how to explain it.
Just a beautiful song executed perfectly. Thanks Jack Bruce. Thanks Felix. Thanks Mountain
i remember playing this for my daughter a few years back-and she exclaimed-'Dad,he sounds like YOU-'....I must have done TWO things right-couldnt be more proud-
TheEDZEPPELINBAND awesome. My daughter Marlo is an astounding violonist. I was a puppy pre-teen with older siblings when this came out. My brother and Dad drummers. Dad was blues, jazz big bad Kupra style taught my brother, then big bro Max learned acid, progressive, hard rock. Great times growing up in the "Boogie rooms" we had great stereos, speakers, black lights, when all people seemed cool in the 70s. What happened in 2020? I digress. Dinosaurs in Congress mob is what happened.
lol they don't even mention Corky Lang, definitely a major part of the distinctive sound of Mountain
+renfro t zetz NO FELIX NO MOUNTAIN
eighta peach no mountain, no mountain
Yeah all i could think through the entire vid was 'aw man poor drummer...' XD
few drummers of the day get near the props they deserve
They don't mention Steve Knight on Keyboards either . But we must remember this was 1970 & announcers didn't know shit from shineola. .
Total brilliance! I watched this (way back in the day) when it was originally broadcast broadcast as "Midsummer Rock" on Channel 5 in NY. Grand Funk killed it as well....
Real players ... no lip sync.
Back in the day when they really didn't know how to get great live feeds. This performance speaks volumes of their talent displayed for all to hear.
Listen to that crowd!
I saw Mountain in Birmingham in 1971. I was blown away by both Leslie and Felix. RIP to both.
One of the greatest bands....one of the greatest songs.....
mountain should have been in the HOF yars ago, when LW was here to appreciate it.
WITHOUT A DOUBT, ONE OF THE GREATEST BANDS ,ROCK MUSIC EVER HAD, MAN,WE WERE ALL SO BLESSED TO HAVE HAD ALL THESE GREAT BANDS TO LISTEN,AND LEARN FROM,THERE WILL NEVER BE GREAT BANDS LIKE THIS EVER AGAIN IN OUR LIFETIME,NEVER.😎🎸🔊🎶☮️ BOB
fortunate to own a 1954 LP junior. I do Mississippi Queen and people freak at the amazing sound. Thanks Leslie...
Tears in my eyes!!
one of my favorite clips of all time, Leslies tone is just the shit!when my little girl heard it she said "DAD, he sounds like you". I've never been more proud-
Leslie's solo's on this song are beyond soulful
I always thought Theme For An Imaginary Western had the best rock guitar solos ever recorded.
I love this so so so so much!! I adore Mountain very much!!! I would give up any band nowadays in 2019 to be at this precious show. Man I was born way way way to late. Long live th 60s and 70s and all the great that came with it.
If you missed them at Woodstock then here they are at the the their best, RIP Leslie and your Les Paul Jr. Thank you all for the music.
This song is a classic masterpiece and is also timeless , but will take You back in time as well ! God Bless Felix Papallardi ! Leslie we love You too , brother , as well as Corky Laing a very under rated percussionist !
R.I.P. Felix Pappalardi, thanks for Mountain, and your work as a producer with Cream. I love u bro.
RIP Leslie! King of the P90 Tone!
Leslie West. Another great musician has left us but his music will live on. Rock In Peace.
I met them that year and hung around with them after the show. Great, great band and really nice guys! One of the best ever. Felix's voice was fantastic and Leslie West's guitar work was super. Corky Laing's drumming with great and Steve Knight was good, though they used him more as backup than an upfront player...
Corky Lang is just killin' it....rounds off the flair of this band dramatically....Felix, after years as producer, of Fred Neil and Vince Martin's LP, then many others, including Cream, then his performance with Mountain...what a underrated force of the 60's and 70's.
I remember watching this in my family room, on WTTG Channel 5 - when I was 12 years old. It was a hot, summer night.
The sound from this Junior belly banjo is amazing and so much Leslie West. These emotional melodies are simply unique and will be forever connected to one of the greatest rock guitarist ever. I also admired Felix Pappalardi both as a bass player and early producer of Cream album Wheels of Fire, a great musician. Mountain is still my all time no 1 rock band.
My favorite of theirs. Brought back a ton of pleasant memories.
RIP Jack Bruce and thanks for writing this great song
A good example of the Leslie West's fluency and amazing control of tone. Great player, great band!
Absolutely one of my favorite songs! Great band, Felix had a singing voice that no one could beat!! Thanks for a great video man!
Exept Jack Bruce..., they sound simular.
What a song!
Leslie West was in a league of his own. I bow before you,Leslie. Godspeed Sir.
What a great band. Leslie West just rips great riffs like he's walking down the street, easy as pie. I'm sorry it took his death yesterday to get me to remember how great these guys were.
1:10 - awesome camera work and editing to have the video reflect the lyrics… As the sun was in their eyes, he sings, they show the setting sun over the stadium.
Sorry, wrong. The video editing is complete horseshit. Felix' vocal is immortal, but how do you not zoom on Leslie's solo which is the whole point of the arrangement. The film editor was obviously tripping too, and not in a good way.
Everyone seems to be attributing this song to Jack Bruce, alone. Jack wrote it with Pete Brown, who also collaborated with Jack on numerous songs for Cream.
True that, Pete Brown's lyrics are pure poetry.
I too was at this show. I lived across the river in Kentucky. Watching this video got me stoned again...
bugman34202 I'm jealous.
I was at this one day festival! At the old Crosley field in Cincinnati, early june 1970!! Great line up!!!
Mountain composed and played a few amazing songs about moments in history -- from whaling ventures set forth from places such as New Bedford to wagon trains crossing the plains and mountains of the American West. This band was monumental -- epic (to coin a well-worn phrase). Leslie, Felix, Corky, and Steve -- you gave us so much in the way of incredible music -- countless thanks.
Man Leslie can play.
I love these guys and haven't seen this particular gem before.
Gotta love YT for this.
Such a great sing.
And all due respect to JB, i just love the way Felix sings this.
And hard to believe he's never mentioned in conversations on the top R&R bass players
So unique.
I love how deep and crunchy he makes it sound, keeping up with Leslies uniquely powerful sound.
They sound like two freight trains coming down the track.
And only one drummer and keyboard could handle backing them up.
They must have had the same marketing firm as Grand Funk
Two bands that no doubt people loved and went to see them by the thousands.
But they should without a doubt been as popular as any other top ten band in their time.
Aside from Zep, those were my two favorite.
Never made sense they didn't get much more attention than they did.
Holy crap, I was there! I have never seen any videos from this. It was quite a day-I’m sure I don’t remember everyone who was there, but I do remember Mountain, Traffic, Alice Cooper, Iggy and the Stooges, Bob Seger, Mott the Hoople (!), Ten Years After, Grand Funk Railroad, and a bunch of other bands. There was a band called Zephyr and I got their album afterwards,(which wasn’t great) but they faded into obscurity. Amazing show, though! Mountain had played quite a few times in Cincinnati before this. I saw them at a festival in the spring at Cincinnati Gardens before the outdoor one at Crosley Field. That one had Iggy as well, along with Savoy Brown, MC5, and a really underrated (and forgotten) band Frijid Pink. I think there were a bunch of local bands there as well.
Wow. Unexpected memory lane this morning! 53 years ago!
@ohiowa3: There was a 90-minute edit of the Cincinnati Pop Festival that was broadcast later that year, under the name "Mid-Summer Rock." Surprised that you haven't seen it. Various posts of it have been a fixture on YT for a long while. Here's a link. Enjoy!
ruclips.net/video/Pf-sDjS8YR8/видео.html
@@lumpytwangage Thanks. You know, I do vaguely recall this now and I might actually have seen it when it was broadcast, but I probably didn’t register it since I had seen the whole thing live not that long before. Fast forward 53+ years and I haven’t seen this stuff since. Glad it’s available!
My favourite Mountain / Bruce song. Mr. West's solo is in my top 10 fave solos of all time. I had the priveledge of seeing them at Place Des Nations Montreal in the 70's from the front row.
Great song. Great music. Great band. Love it.♥️God Bless You.
Must have watched this video a hundred times. Lesly West was such a beast with that Les Paul jr. You can see him slowly inching up the volume into the solos. It's like he can't hold it back.
That performance still has power today, bravo Mountain.
This is so, so good. Gives the song which was a solo Jack Bruce song, the Cream treatment. Wonderful.
Lesley has always been USA's Paul Kossoff to me 1970 great bands. Great players both, neither show off - just play great.
Gadje interesting comparison between West and Kossoff - I think you've got something there!
yeah, koss had a better vibrato, tho. koss had a better vibrato than most, for that matter. both players were from the tribe, as well.
So grateful this video exists. Even if it barely watchable. They were so great in these early days. Leslie was a fantastic guitar player. Imaginary western is such a beautiful piece of music. RIP Leslie W. and Felix P.
I saw Mountain and West Bruce and Laing back in the early 70s...what explosive talent...each great in their own right. I will say that WBL was also the loudest act I have ever seen....and that is over 5 1/2 decades of concerts, ranging from The Beatles, to Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Springsteen, Black Oak Arkansas, Deep Purple, ELP, Aerosmith,, Steppenwolf, etc, a lot of great rockers.... Ears rang for days after that show at the Palace Theater in Waterbury, Ct....what a great show...blew us all away.
I agree, and now I’m a 69 year old man with tinnitus! 😂
I was at this festival @ almost 16 yrs old. What was bad about Mountain's set is I recall they took a long time to get started because Felix kept telling the audience that they were not going to play until everybody stepped back from the stage...but people kept rushing up toward the stage anyway.
One of the most emotional and sentimental rock songs ever. Camera work is miserable, though, guy was probably on acid.
RIP Lesile. We all LOVE YOU!!!!
RIP Leslie West ... you will be missed
