Got to see Mountain in 1970 or so. Getting old sucks but that means I was front and center for countless great bands !
Imagínate aquí en México!!
Escuchábamos solamente los discos y enloquecidos con las bandas Americanas he Inglesas .
Mountain fue una banda de culto en el México de los 70s tengo 73 años y sigo escuchando y disfrutando la época de oro del Rock y el blues...
SD.
México..
Lesly y Félix genios....!
I hear you brother I'm right there with you😅
@@miguelbazaaranaantunez4608do you have your green card😢
Right up there with Hendrix,Cream, Zeppelin and Purple etc. Criminally underrated band!!!
I had the GREAT pleasure of seeing them play live at Quinnipiac college in the gymnasium in 1970. It was an unbelieveable show in a little gym.. And who "opened" for them? A group called "Johnny Winter AND.
The "AND" was a guy names Rick Derringer! GREAT night for guitar playing!
Hahaha.
You’re high...
Leslie's underrated vocals !!! ..
totally agree 100%
This was my first time seeing Mountain live. Great festival. RIP Leslie and Felix
I actually stole "Mountain Climbing" March 7, 1970 On the back cover it said "This album was made to be played loud" Never forgot that...still here listening June 18, 2024
Was the PA humming?
NEVER TRUST ANYONE - WHO DOESN'T LISTEN TO MUSIC - EVERYDAY !!!!!!!
Saw them @ northwestern university (Illinois) in 1971.
Went back stage after to meet Leslie, he said: "stay in school!"
I was there that night too. They came on stage about an hour and a half late, but the forgiving crowd tossed a bunch of joints on stage. Felix said “you turned us on, so we’re going to turn you on too.” They proceeded to put on a great show. Loud too.
wow
I was 14. This was part of the first rock festival broadcast on network TV. My parents actually let me takeover the den and even supplied snacks and soda for my friends and I while we watched it. They even let me hack into their brand new (and first ) RCA 25” color TV to feed it into my home made vacuum tube hifi amplifiers and my Sony mono cassette recorder (I was a budding electronic/audio engineer at the time). It was such a wonderful day! My dad didn’t object which amazed me given how opposed he was to the long haired hippie thing that I had just gotten into although he had no interest in watching it.
Only recently my younger sister told me that my mom said they allowed it to support me in the new music I’d become interested in and in my dreams of becoming an engineer. Funny, learning that 50 years later. My mom was a great mother who always encouraged us to focus on our dreams and make them our reality. I spent my life as an electronics engineer thanks to her. Much praise and love to my late mother. Little did I know that she and my father would be gone a few short years later. Thanks mom and dad!
great story! huge Mountain fan..thank you!
Fabuloso!!
Increíble....
If you understand music, you respect Mountain whether you like It or not.
absolutly
Ok
A lot of underrated bands out there.
Who cares ! Fortunately we can listen to this!
ช
If you even have to think about it your not a Rock n Roller.
I used to think Mountain was a one hit wonder with "Mississippi Queen", but I was wrong. What a great group they were, RIP Leslie West.
Leslie is definitely one of the lucky ones he made it through when some of them passed at 27
Mountain...my very first concert. Was at the gym at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee...shortly after Woodstock. Was blown away and still to this day a great memory
I believe I was there. Fall of 70 or early 71. Was a freshman at MTSU in Murfreesboro. Great show!
The King if Crunch...
Leslie West !!!
This right here is the reason my step father gave me the two best presents a young kid could ever receive without asking...not the mini bike. Not the 22 rifle. But rather a Mountain 8 track, and a Gibson bass!
Nice S-Dad dude! How cool.
😃
Now they have Guitar Hero😂
One guitar
One bass guitar
One sloppy drummer.
A truly perfect combo. Awesome band
Everyone always forgets about the keyboard player. Who you couldn't hear anyway.
It grooves. It swings. Just like Duke Ellington said: It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing.”
A perfect Hells Angel's band.
Leslie West is a force of nature.
He’s a very tough old bird from Forest Hills, Queens. But the big man sure could play a guitar right?
When I was a teenager I listened to Mountain. For me, Nantucket Sleigh ride was one of the best albums I ever heard.
Just found it from the second hand store. Greetings !
Still is 2023
It is a masterpiece.
Mindblowing ! This makes me feel like I'm washing the old Galaxy 500 in our driveway and my buddy Dave goes upstairs to put the speakers in the open window so we could blast this song. This is what the "11" on the volume knob is for !!!
Good way to blow your speakers and crossovers like I did.
10 - 4.
One of the greatest bands ever, Leslie West has the greatest guitar tone ever, Felix had one of the greatest bass tones, Steve Knight, great keyboard player, under rated and Corky was a locomotive, great great band, saw them live twice in Worcester Ma during the early 70's. This concert from the days when most of the sound came from the stage, bands sounded great back then, great and LOUD!
West achieved that sustain from using a Sunn PA head..and a cheap ol Gibson Melody Maker....
@@mikesabota2570 Yess, it was a tube head. A friend of mine had one years ago and liked it.
1971 February ....wow 53 years ago....WPI Harrington Auditorium Worcester......caught two of Corky's sticks
@@michaelanthony541 Small world! Yup WPI, I saw them someplace else in Worcester too, not sure where.
@@mikesabota2570 😅8m😅😊9😮🎉🎉😅😅989ó80jju e cxvb98😊
I was 13 living in pompano bch. Fla.. Went to the mall with my brother. Mountain was there giving away posters. If you waited in line you could get it signed and talk to each one of them.What a bunch of awesome guys.Wish I still had that poster could be worth a buck or two. Wish I still had my older brother because he was priceless. Love u bro.
I'm 20 and I wish I was there to witness this
I am 70 and was lucky to have seen them live a few times back then..always a rocking show😊
What a great stuff!
No tricks, no sequencers or pre-recorded tracks, no DJ's... Just Music and great musicians!
🙏🏻👍🏼
That's why it's called Classic Rock.👍
no pedals
No pedalboard!!!!
No AI generated lyrics? Sad boys back in that day....so sad
Leslie West definitely falls into the underrated category.
Underrated, if overfed.
@@dantean He ain't called the Great Fatsby for nuthin'.
Actually, I think he is over rated big time. I could play any of this after 1 yr of playing.
wow really? and sing like that? in 1970? Must see, please reply with a link.
@@gregmason2208 Guy you aren't even good enough to change strings on Leslie West's guitar
This is one of the best and most intense live performances I've ever seen. Damn they are killing it! Thank you for sharing this.
Oh the lucky folk of Cincinnati! Mountain in all their mighty, rugged glory. No boy band here, just a loud sweaty bunch of heavyweight rockers. Glory days!
Corky hit me in the head with a flying drumstick at the Paramount in Seattle around '75. Great Show !!!
Wow......just amazing. This kind of stuff is why I love RUclips!!
jeffthrow6892 couldn't have put it better myself 😊
You bet'cha! Going rogue!
A friend and I were there the whole day till Traffic ended the show at mid night, what a rush! These guys lit the afternoon up and I'll never forget Mountain live here at home
lookit all those Sunn stacks! nobody did it like Mountain. my ears are still ringing...
Saw Leslie in Newport RI at a place called Bambis when he led a band called the Vagrants in 1967 he one of the best rock guitarists ever with a heavy blues accent and the boy got a funky bone to boot
Den from UK, what a band, saw them 1971 and how lucky i was to be alive not only to hear their stuff but to see them live, Leslie West, even after all these years, i hear this track and im back at Crystal Palace, London..ive still got the original poster i ripped off the wall outside of the venue.ACE.
Mountain grabbed a hold of my spirit with such ferocity and never let it go.
I had seen this show on TV during the summer of 1970 and it completely changed my direction as a guitar player. I quit my guitar lessons and locked myself in my room for 2 years with 'Climbing' and Best of Cream and unlearned everything my guitar teacher taught me.
Corky follows Leslie, much like Moon and Townsend.
An excellent drummer
He is also hitting those drums like they owe him money. It's a crazy awesome heavy sound, similar to John Bonham.
Look at those SUNN stacks! They must have been so loud, you could hear them all the way into Kentucky! Damn, even the roadies are standing on either side of the stacks to keep them from toppling over!
@Jeremy S One of the roadies on the left side of the cabinets is actually banging his head against the SUNNs he's holding up! I would be, too!
No shit --- you could EASILY hear them in Kentucky that day. For Real.
Yeah got to see them after their Climbing album came out. It was one wild acid filled night
Saw them at my Catholic high school in Bklyn, 1969. They were great, Franciscan. brothers freaked out, excellent night
I can't remember how many times I saw Mountain at the Fillmore East. Great shows, great times, Great Band.
I actually stole "Mountain Climbing" March 7, 1970 On the back cover it said "This album was made to be played loud" Never forgot that...still here listening June 18, 2024
Mountain kick some serious rock n roll ass. They’re one of the hardest hitting tightest bands out there.
wow, here because of his passing, never even knew this existed and what an infIuence he was to peopIe considered 'infIuentiaI' in music. HOIY CRAP THIS IS AMAZING!
So authentic!! Rock and Blues at it's finest.
Simply stunning!
sickest live tone. ever! This is awesome!!
The people who got to see this version of mountain in the early days, are BLESSED. No other show I would go back in time for if I could..
Ha Ha, I'm back for another listen. It's hard to resist when I see it pop up on my recommended list.
Leslie had a HUGE pair. Strong, powerful.
Well damn this sucks, came here to post I was at this concert, and share a few stories, only to learn Leslie West passed away December 23 :( RIP Leslie ..... have loved Mountain since about 1969 and luckily saw them 4 times .... PS Traffic was at this concert also
In terms of sheer energy,great playing and just flat out heaviness. Only one band at the time was heavier. And That was Sabbath. Very Impressive!
I’ve had similar thoughts.
Think about this: They were the only band who was able to regularly gig with Sabbath in 1970-71 without getting booed off the stage, because they were able stand toe to toe with Sabbath, decible wise. Tony Iommi and Leslie became great friends, so was Ozzy. Leslie even gave Iommi a special Les Paul junior guitar as a gift!
Sabbath wasn't as raw
The Scottish band "Nazareth" was also very heavy at this time, always thought some of their stuff was heavier than early Zeppelin. Don't get me wrong, the boys form Mountain could certaily BRING IT!
One of the original heavy metal bands!!
Someone asked my everyone was just standing around, staring. I said, 'I guess you have never done acid." lol
Saw them in Toronto this same summer. Words can't describe the talent and power of this band.
When I was 15, I could never get enough of hearing the “Flowers of Evil” version of this song. 😎
The Older I Get - The Older The Music I Like !
Thank you for the memory. This is me from the beginning. This and these are hidden odesties. Made some of us like me, me.
He missed a lot of good years. He's the first one that admits the drugs fucked everything up. It's a business and when everyone's going in different directions shit happens. So many other guitarists have praised his abilities and what could have been. When you are the star it falls apart. I still love his stuff.
To say Leslie West is underrated is an understatement
Leslie was even bigger than he looked
✌🏼😊
He showed that a 1-pickup Les Paul wasn't a student/beginner guitar and since his passing the entire guitar-playing world wants one !!!###
@@harlow743 yes. LESLIE WAS ALWAYS BIG FOR HIS SIZE. 👍
@@JohnnyNation I bought mine back in 89 mostly because of Leslie West. It's beauty of a guitar :-) Peace
Yea !;;!;!! My all-time favorite band. Saw them numerous gigs at the masonic temple in Detroit. Others !;!!;! Frost ;;;; mc5 ;;; savoy brown ;;; reo Speedwagon. Good ole days ,!;!;!! Saw the who when Keith moon was still alive !;!!;!!!!
My God! A huge slab of mahogany, some P 90s, a wall of Sunn tube amps… And Leslie west. What a sound!
stolen mahogany frm fee jee u bastards yankee bully boys
Moving the earth was easy then... long live rock
Top say Mountain are underrated is an understatement
Everyone in this band is absolutely incredible! Everyone agrees that Leslie is an Icon Felix and Corky don’t get the accolades they deserve…they are both some of the best ever
This is just perfect music! Hairs standing up on the back of my neck.
One of the best songs ever created by one of the best bands that ever existed.
Saw these guys back in the sixties at a club called "The Mad Hatter" before they were called Mountain...then they were called "The Vagrants." Was a sad day when they broke up.
I watched and met Leslie in St.Louis Missouri in the late 80s at a Bar called The Big kahuna on a absolute beautiful Sunday afternoon . Corky joined him and they Tore It Up , From The Floor Up !
Hey youngsters this is the way we and your grandfather all looked like in the 70s :)
Yep, geeky, goofy, wearing jeans and pretty stoned ... just like every big concert of today. Except no phones.
@@chasbodaniels1744 you didnt need phones back then every corner had one
That guitar tone! It's 1970!! Wow!
when i was a kid in the 70's, the only Mountain we heard was mississippi queen. they are so much more, even though i put that tune right there with Iron Man and Whole lotta love.
I remember this it was on TV was called summer jam or something awesome thanks for sharing
This is beauty coming from all directions. Awesome. ❤
I LOVE THIS GROUP ! feeling , energy ! creativity !
RIP Leslie West.
not enough live Mountain footage
Saw Leslie in 1996 @ Gilligans in Modesto, CA - Noel Redding was his Bass Player and small venue too
I've been surprised at how MUCH there is (though still not enough). Considering how little music got televised, especially as far back as 1970 - hence why we only ever see one clip of the original Steely Dan (Reelin' In The Years). It's criminal that so many great bands left such a small visual footprint, if there is such a thing.
Absolutely right, and let’s include the near-criminal absence of good footage from Bowie’s Ziggy era. This well-produced and televised festival in 1970 at Cincinnati’s old Crosley Field (home of the Reds baseball team) was a rare occurrence for sure. It exposed me to Alice, Iggy, and GFR for the first time!
It is amazing that these 70s rockers did not damage their hearing more substantially than it appears that they did.
Actually, Felix Pappalardi bands bass player, did damage his hearing.
Only one person had that guitar tone in 1970 and he just went to Heaven. Rest in Peace Leslie West.
Did he ??!!
In all fairness, Jimmy James had some pretty impressive tone
I was at this concert and still have the ticket stub. One of my best memories!
Crosley field,Cincinnati,summer 1970
Me, too. Also have the video of the TV broadcast later that summer. Traffic, Mountain, Ten Years After, Grand Funk Railroad, Alice Cooper, the Stooges, Mott the Hoople, Bob Seeger, Zephyr with Tommy Bolin, Bloodrock, Damnation of Adam Blessing, and many others. Truly an epic day of music.
@@TheRedJB definitely a good day and a great show.I was down in front of Felix Pappalardi pretty much the whole day.It was awesome.The only thing that sucked was when the cops were busting heads in the parking lot after the show.I HAD A GREAT TIME!!!
GRAND FUNK RAILROAD!!!!
@@sethheron-vanta1383 Indeed! Forgot about the cops. I was just left of Felix about 20 feet back and swore that Corky was staring at me during the whole set. That day rocked my world. Alice: cream pie; Iggy: peanut butter.
Best concert ever: Mountain and Jethro Tull, Ohio Wesleyan Stadium, Delaware, Ohio 5/28/70, about the same time as this footage...can you imagine???...
Folks, I got to see Mountain many times in their prime, their BRUTAL BEAUTY could not be beat, Leslie West, KING of TONE! Notice, NO stupid foot pedals, just his fingers, and a TON of SUNN Amps baby!!
I will admit, I had to gain an appreciation for this band, but I can now listen to them with absolute pleasure and joy
slayed so many w/ this 8-track monster plugging away in my van.
One of the all time great rock bands!
LESLIE WEST: ANDRE THE GIANT WITH GUITAR! ; )
+seranda73 You Got It RIGHT!!!!...
LOL
More like. Andre the Giant wished he was Leslie West with a guitar!
Great lyric too...the lead singer in the band I drummed for(Santuary) wrote them....had some funky times with the big man in 69!
IT ALL HAPPENS IN THE BLUE ROOM....LOVE THIS GROUP
Mountain and cactus give me the same vibes love it ...monsters god damn
Leslie is one of the best guitar players ever ,Hendrix,J.Beck,R.Blackmore ,Robin Thrower,JOHNNY WINTER,STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN,THESE ARE THE KINGS OF SOUND, ALSO ALVIN LEE.🎸🔊🎶☮️😎 BOB.
Let's not forget Gary moore rik emmit ronnie montrose evh, also early Nugent iommi and Gary rossington Ricky Medlock
Oooof...know THAT'S 👈🏼 a list!
@@jerrywoods4066 Ricky Medlock? Nah.
@@jg6698 yeah
1974 - Asbury Park Casino Arena. Good-Rats opened. My ears are still ringing. The energy and vibe coming off the stage was ridiculous. My very first rock concert which has never been surpassed to this day. Felix-: May "the road go forever on" for you. #Mountain
the good rats were a fantastic local band, played my hometown, yonkers n.y. many many times.
Lone Ranger Leslie is straight into amp...no pedals
I've seen some amazing bands at the Casino as well as Convention Hall. King Crimson to Black Sabbath! I would feel remiss if I didn't mention Sunshine Inn. If anyone even remembers. Great shows there as well...Yes to Vanilla Fudge....
The excitement leading up to Mountains show in KC in summer 1970 was crazy. 3500 seat hall was jammed. Fire marshall shut the doors. I remember this muscle bound frizzy haired hippie pulling kids in from a gutter downspout on the second story. Wild times.
This was from Cincinnatti Pop Festival summer of 1970!!
Mountain of the greatest bands ever. Period, Bar None.
Mountain formed my early musical life's journey. They blew me away live in 73. I still own a 54 Les Paul jr. Thanks to Leslie💗
Great great great Rock and Roll Mountain yeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh very day
Contrary to popular belief, the original Mountain was not a power trio as it's often reported. They were a quartet, because they had Steve Knight as a keyboard player. He was definitely a member of the band for the first four albums. I'm glad to see there's footage of the band with him in it. RIP Steve and Felix...
This was one of many shows broadcast and sometimes simulcast in the late 60's early 70's. We were very lucky then.
How can anyone not say in the top 5 all time leslie is. This singing fits his look. And just a great guy. Outstanding.jay jay vegas
R.I.P. the Great Leslie West. That fabulous "Tone" on your Les Paul Jnr. will live on forever. The Road Goes Ever On.
I'm so thankful for all these old videos of the best damn time for music ever
I miss Leslie West so much!
A wonderful performance. Leslie West is in tip-top form. Perfect tone.
LOVE MOUNTAIN!!!!!! WHAT RICH SOUND!!!
I saw leslie West in the early 70s when was a kid j New Orleans. I think he was playing Nantucket sleigh ride and l saw a tear drop fall from his eye when he into the blues lead. At that point l know this guy had true soul. He could make his guitar drag feeling out of you. Ironically k am a musician now abd lost my right leg in a motorcycle crash after Katrina. It made me a better guitar player but l can't hold a candle next to Leslie. Hang in there bro. You are a true legend and inspiration!
John Horridge I am a true rock music fan. I’ve played drums for 30 years. I lost my right thumb because I broke a blood vessel from rehearsing for a high school drum solo. But it didn’t stop me from playing. I’ve got 1.5 thumbs, but I’m about to start gigging with a heavy rock band. We’re doing 2 Mountain songs. Mississippi Queen and Never In My Life. Even though I’m an 80’s kid, I still see how amazing these early 70’s American rock bands were. This was the beginning of “heavy metal” music.
I was at that show, then got to see them again at the field house. They let just a few of us in early & we got to see Mountain do their sound check. Corky flipped out kicked & threw his drums off the stage ended the show. What a night!!
Leslie created the rock "Wall of Sound" (not the Phil Spectre WOS). I have been fortunate to see him in various groups, Mountain, West, Bruce and Lang, and Solo and there is no one that can get that FAT sound that he gets. It just courses through your body and vibrates every cell of your being. Pure ecstasy. Many guitar slingers rightfully give credit to Leslie as one of their influences......
Jim Mitchell
Jim Mitchell, Steve Morse wrote and played a killer instrumental tribute to Leslie West for the first of his (Morse's) "Major Impacts" recordings.
I never heard of Mountain until I listened to my roomate's Mountain albums. They are and have been sooo underated. In the late 80's and 90's, I had such a hard time finding their music.
Saw them twice in the 70s. Once with Bobby Keyes on sax. The best show!
dam missed it by 4 years!! i was 12 saw him 1981 at bogarts great then too
