    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 .

    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've always gotten the sense there's a real story behind West. I know next to nothing about him but enjoy watching videos of him, I've noticed his weight fluctuates wildly in every video. That's not usually normal, I assume he had some issues? I know he had talent.

    Would have been a lot better if Leslie West's guitar and vocal were louder and not drowned out by the rhythm guitar
