You damn sure got that all right,Willie! I saw Mountain in 1970 at Appalachian State University in Boone,N.C.. .. ranks as one of the best in my over 50 years attending live concerts
My wife and I were in Atlanta walking around in the underground, I heard this song start and i knew exactly who it was. We rushed to the sound of the music and were able to watch him and the band play from a walkway above the bar. I will never forget that as long as l live it was awesome. Thanks for the memories .
I can remember hearing this song for the first time , and it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up ! And mountain was one of my favorite bands , back in 1970 , I saw them way back in the day , at a college, in md . And his hair was still , black , and he was like , “the angus young” , of his day ! But you know what , I don’t think , that Mountain, or Leslie West , are in the R&R hall of fame , and that is very , very , SAD ! R.I.P. LESLIE WEST , you were the mountain , and still are in my world !
@@robjones8733 when you think about it , I sorta agree with ya ! But Leslie had more , true feeling for leads , in two fingers , more than any zack Wylie , or any other sheddder that ever lived , his talent went way beyond , almost anybody today , he made that guitar , talk , cry , I could go on and on . But I tried my best to get his phrasing , down way back in the mid 70’s , but I saw him down in a collage in md . And he was standing on a riser on the floor , about a foot off the ground , and I was right in front of him , the way he bent strings , and how his fingers just seemed to caress the strings , he was by far one of my first “guitar hero’s” for a long time ! And still is .
When Leslie counted it off and then launched into that killer riff, it was goosebumps all over man! Leslie's tone is the definitive example of what a Les Paul and Marshall amp sound like when you nail it. Thank you for sharing this!
Great! Great! Great song! A kid played that song to the tea and 8th grade and we were hooked on it ever since. What a badass song! Love that lead. It just goes on and on and on
Ol'Leslie West despite all the shit that happened to him, he had a great life. A fine young wife that adored him , he played Woodstock in it's hey day and as an old man still a hero among all the young bands and guitarists and died at home in bed. He was my first guitar player that I followed when I was a kid. Really loved that guy and what a great personality. Rip Mr. West.
I saw Leslie West play this at Summerfest in Milwaukee in the late 70's. I can still picture the scene in my mind. And I remember how excited I was, and how powerfull they were doing this song.
Thank you Rick Taiano for this live video. Just to hear Blackberry Smoke on stage with Leslie West playing “Mississippi Queen” is priceless. I’m glad Mr. West is still around to sing and play as well as he did many years ago. He’s still got it.
I actually started clapping at the end. RIP Mr. West... God speed. Always heard he was a good person as well as a great musician . Will not be forgotten . Blackberry Smoke with Leslie West... great video ! Thanks for this
The man the band they come through Atlanta many many times and I some just about every time they came through the brothers and Leslie had a good relationship help one another started going to concerts and 69 and saw a lot of good people but mountain and Leslie West was at the top of the heat never a bad show peace love feathers and music forever and rest in peace my brother
I was in TOADS in New Haven CT one night back in 1986 and Leslie West jumped up on stage and did a 15 minute "Mississippi Queen" 🌟🔥😎 seen THE STONES in there too that year just go up on stage and and play over an hour 👍
Mountain was the first concert I went to - way back in 1974 in Savannah, GA. Mother's Finest opened for them. I fell in love with live music and hot guitars that night.
haha, a friend of mine got popped in the face with a drum stick launched from Corky! It was awesome! Sister Justice has remained my favorite Mountain piece.
Damn... so true. I saw Mountain open for Triumph back in the mid 80's and we all walked away with that tone bleeding out our ears! Leslie still has it. \m/
Awesome!! LW is a national treasure. Still the best vibrato in the business. If you’ve ever heard him talk much you can quickly tell he’s NYC all the way
Love that shit , keep on rocking boy s, remind s me of my youth .it was 1980 in Detroit and every corner bar was jamming , I wanted to go in so bad , but awe shit , I was only fourteen. ,Some time we would sneak in , till we got caught, awe the stuff I learned.while listing to great music.love ya guy s
The Vagrants later known as Mountain began here on Long Island. My friends and I saw Mountain many times. 73&74 New Years Eve at the Felt Forum at MSG were epic.
Blackberries and American band! They're doing the best they can! Keep playing it real boys I've been watching you for years! You've done some amazing stuff! Now an acoustic album? Cheers!
I used to have a dream band that I made up to play this song. I wanted Lane Stanley. Dimebag singing along with Leslie West I know this is an odd bunch of group but I wanted to hear them play this song so bad
Thanks, much, for this upload, Rick. On my phone, screen cut-off all credits, and I didn't want to lose this (YOUR) video. I've made some comments here, about the few "thumbs down", and GUESSED at how this was made. Please don't take offense at any point of how you "captured" this. I am a photographer, also had problems getting stage access, myself. Perhaps that's why the few "down" votes - people expect high budget, Pro audio-video in everything... THANKS FOR YOUR EFFORT, time, and expense, to make this video, and sharing the upload...
Mark Tulk thanks. Shooting a video like this impromptu with an iPhone without moving or getting in people's way is very difficult. I think that BBS is a great band and did my best to share it.
Rick Taiano - Rick, In this case, you did your best to capture a live rock show, with what you had at hand. I'm a photographer, stills, and about 4 yrs ago, Nikon - then Canon - added circuits for HD video capture, including Pro & "pro-sumer" , full size cameras (DSLR). Problem is, with first models, I had pro-quality HD video capture - BUT ONLY A STUPID, LO-FI condenser mic, built-in the camera body. (Canon T3) Everybody's got a video camera now-days, in their phone - just like you used here. PROBLEM : With only built-in, poor mic, you capture good video, but the AUDIO IS BAD. (No offense, you did best you could...) With that mic in the phone, you record LITTLE of the music, but LOTS of camera-noise : rattle, vibration, noise, + operator (breathing, etc.) If you had a friend there, with another phone, one person could record video, and the other person focused on - "voice recording" (if you weren't too drunk, or stoned)... You'd then haveta' mix them , on a laptop, or something, but the MUSIC was important enough to make that effort. ...Just an idea I had, prompted by this "music video" that you posted. If you are serious, at all, about video, or movies, "film", PRO RESULTS can be captured by using a good DSLR camera (switch lenses), that has a MIC JACK, add a decent microphone, THEN - you get good video AND audio. Canon T6i (the i is important ), or Nikon D-3400, with a 2- lens kit, can both be bought for $500, or so. Add a shotgun mic for another $100-200... and you can get PRO results. Thanks again, for sharing your work. -Mark, Michigan, USA ; 11MAY17.
Seen Mountain Open Up for Triumph at Alpine Valley back in 1986 I believe. Think it was Thunder 7 Tour . Mountain was great Opening Band for Triumph !!!
Leslie west, even in a wheel chair, is more badass than anything on the radio or stage today! RIP brotha!
So true.
Mr. West may have left the building, but his Spirit lives on.
You got that right William.
Amen!!!
You damn sure got that all right,Willie! I saw Mountain in 1970 at Appalachian State University in Boone,N.C.. .. ranks as one of the best in my over 50 years attending live concerts
2000 years from now this song will be blastin' hell outta some bar on a planet far far away!🖖😎
Underrated reference.
Truth!!!
Let them aliens hear our awesome 60's and 70's music, they'll all wanna come here and party. 🤘👽🍻
This song smells like cigarettes and beer and fast women.

Back when I was in between 7th an 8th grade I saw Mountain at the Memphis Shell in Overton Park.
@@deecee9735 oh yeah, LW is awesome!
I was 19 when this came out and my old band played to from 1970 to 73
RIP LESLIE LOVED ALL YOUR MUSIC
My first concert in 1971. Loved Mountain then, love the song now. RIP Mr. West.
I listened to this on 8 track in my’72 firebird back in the day. 👍🏻
RIP Leslie West, you gave us some great music that will live on long after you're gone!
We use to play this over and back in 74, 75 high school days, still today a awesome song will always be
We listened to BTO.
@@kurtwoodard3209 Then you were "Takin' care of business".
When Leslie counted it off and then launched into that killer riff, it was goosebumps all over man! Leslie's tone is the definitive example of what a Les Paul and Marshall amp sound like when you nail it. Thank you for sharing this!
Best comment ever
Remember you from the 70's...Still rockin at 62...Love you Leslie; now you sing for the stars.
One of the best classic rock songs.
Mississippi Queen and Thirty Days in the Hole take me back to the seventies.
Leslie West is an Icon! The shredders got nothing on him! RIP.
As I watched and listened. Tears in my eyes. Loved it. Thank you BlackBerry Smoke
Great! Great! Great song! A kid played that song to the tea and 8th grade and we were hooked on it ever since. What a badass song! Love that lead. It just goes on and on and on

Thank you for this. Was blessed to see Mountain in 1974 in Boone, NC @ Appalachian State Univ. Unreal.
one of the best live guitar sounds i had ever heard .dude played his ass of in a relatively small venue in an uncool city in the uk .respect .
Glad I was a teen in the 70s. Musically spoiled then and now...Love Leslie and my Bkberry Smoke...Get well Brit Turner
Thank you Rick Taiano for this live video. Just to hear Blackberry Smoke on stage with Leslie West playing “Mississippi Queen” is priceless. I’m glad Mr. West is still around to sing and play as well as he did many years ago. He’s still got it.
That was freaking awesome. Still killin it after all these years.
I was there that night and the second Leslie came out I knew what was coming and it still blew me away when it kicked in
WOW this brought a big smile to me Love Leslie West and with Charlie it is even greater I love the guitar tones like old Mountain Excellent
Saw mountain at knebworth England with my brother in 80s they ROCKED. Classic band 👍🎸🎸👍
Leslie with Corky Lange and Felix P. Was the power trio of all power trio’s. Everyone needs to take a “Nantucket Sleigh ride” compliments of Mountain.
Agreed. The James Gang is a solid runnerup.
You forgot Steve Knight...It's not a trio.
Mr West the King of touch & tone!
From the father to the sons.....a right of passage to rock!
saw Leslie West with Mountain many,many years ago,great band.
Leslie West was one the BEST
Wow... Leslie sounds amazing as usual.
What more could you want!!!!
I actually started clapping at the end. RIP Mr. West... God speed. Always heard he was a good person as well as a great musician . Will not be forgotten . Blackberry Smoke with Leslie West... great video ! Thanks for this
Good person? You obviously never met him. He was a douche, and was proud of it.
Saw Mountain & Zephyr @ the Santa Monica Civic ‘70 or ‘71. Awesome show
R.I.P. Leslie West
For a real treat listen to Leslie cover Born under a Bad Sign. Just him and his guitar absolutely killing it.
Possibly the coolest thing I have ever seen/heard.
Living legend!,love those 70s throwback, mats very nice!Great intro
1974 Long beach arena Mountain, ElvinBishop, Brownsville station, great show
Just awesome!!!!
U don't think it's to much cowbell?
LOL!
We covered this in my first band...AND my last band. Stone cold classic.
Just Awesome! Thanks for the great video!👍
Holy crap.......what a epic rendition
Great Stuff

Sister Justice has remained my favorite Mountain piece.
Austin, Texas
I saw Mountain around that time too. In Bristol Tn, I was 19
I saw them in 1973
I swear when that kicked in I almost jumped out the window...that tone..that swing
That kicked f@#$kin ass!!! Leslie The Legend and the Smoke Hell Yeah!!!
Just frickin awesome! These guys know how to play good ole rock and roll!!!🤟🤟
Very nice
I looked up classic rock in the dictionary, this is it!!
Leslie - the king of tone!
Damn... so true. I saw Mountain open for Triumph back in the mid 80's and we all walked away with that tone bleeding out our ears! Leslie still has it. \m/
Leslie West and Pete Townshend.
Saw them on that same bill as well. I had heard of Mountain but wasn't familiar with them at all. Like you I walked away with tone bleed!
Leslie, Pete and Billy Gibbons!
Gary Moore.
Excellent sound.🖒
U don't think it's to much cowbell?
LOL!!
Still does it for me!!🙏😷🎵🎶❗👀
A clasic ❤
👍 One of my favs when I was young! Great job

Saw mountain open for Molly hatchet in 78, cool show!
Don't matter what they play, they're the best!
Love it
I was there....Fantastic!!!!!
Me too! Great live band, seen em a few times.
Got to see and enjoy West, Bruce and Lang on tour. All three were mesmerizing.
Way back in late 60's while I was 'supposed to be in high school...Saw them at Miami Baseball Staduim!
Maybe it WAS in the 70's but you get the drift....
Now THAT'S Rock & Roll!
Great song covered by a GREAT BAND. BLACKBERRY SMOKE KICKS ASS!!🤟🤟
wonderful.
Great to see Leslie west
Priceless..

I was 14 in 1980 too!!! Rocking out in South Carolina. Juke joints in the country. No ID checked. If you had the money the beer flowed.
Leslie West...Great guitar picker....the father of shread etc...just ask zakk Wylde...
That was a great show!
RIP leslie west. Great show Salem Salem Virginia 19744
GREAT SONG.
The Great Fatsby still bringing it. Thanks for the upload.
Scott Lindsay 😂😂😂
way more than u ever could dbag.
@@kennethsmith8968 You do know that was his nickname back in the day, right? Sober up twit.
What a song ...
I saw Leslie at the Beacon Theater in 1989. The sound guy messed up and Leslie stopped mid song and threw a fit. Priceless.
I find it hard to believe when this song was originally composed it was going to be a disco tune. Thank Goodness the band changed it's mind.
Yea one cool tune
❤❤❤❤❤
Leslie wanted to go faster ... so eventually the band complies. Awesome to see the reverence for a legend.
