RIP Leslie West.
His music will be everlasting.
Who's that
RIP to all who are departed with special thoughts and prayers for those who were lost due to the Chinese government’s negligence and deliberate misleading of all.
Right on, Brother.

The 1970s was a great time to be a kid growing up. Leslie West and Mountain were a force to be reckoned with.
Amen, Some of the greatest music when we were young. I am 65 and my wife is 71 years young!
AWESOME TIME'S ARE BEHIND US. BE WELL AND TAKE CARE👍
I applaud the person that edited the intro. It captures the mood of our country perfectly. I lived it. Such a great tune.
Me too.
Amen ❤
72 years old, lived it, breathed it, still loving it like it was live again ❤
I was a mailman in the building that Felix Pappalardi lived and I met him about two weeks before he died.
The first album I bought was the best of Mountain. Played Mississippi Queen about twenty times in a row. My mom yelled "play something else!" Good times....good times! R.I.P. Mr. West and thanks.
Who else came here after hearing that. Leslie West just passed away? RIP🙏 my friend. 12/23/2020.
Me. Loved Leslie West. R.I.P. Mr. West.
love leslie west!!
@@littleninjawarrior6458 Riding the back roads of Hopewell NJ, in the early 70’s. Mountain blaring on the 8 track, a couple 6packs of Bud. Not a care in the world. Thank you Leslie West & Mountain.
@@diannelogsdon6107 I SEEN HIM A LONG TIME AGO IN A BAR IN PHX CALLED ROCKERS....I MEMBER HE WAS PLAYIN VOO DOO CHILD AND HE PAUSED RIGHT IN MIDDLE OFTHE SONG AND SAID "WHAT U THINK THIS IS FUCKIN EASY" THEN FINISHED....AWESOME!:)
R.I.P Leslie West, Mountain one the greatest underrated Woodstock band
I'll tell you how good they are;I saw them in1970 and the opening act was Black Sabbath.
+Akash Singh You're definitely right about that.
+Alex King invented metal?...sabbath claims rock not metal, ozzy himself hates metal
+Antonio Rochet You're right. I had forgotten that.
Same here.
Saw Black Sabbath bottom bill Fillmore West.1 Marshall, That's all.1st time in America. Mountain was great then....
Truly great and fantastic music. They don't hardly ever play this on Classic radio stations anymore. An young at heart 65 year old and his beautiful 71 year young wife.
Back then, bands had to PLAY. Your guitarists, bassists, drummers, vocalists, etc. They really had to bring it.
Heavy riff with a bluesy hook and a phenomenal voice are the ingredients to this slow-cooked Masterpiece! Bravissimo! RIP Mr. Leslie West
Mississippi Queen is one of the best rock and blues songs from the 1970’s. That guitar tone, the voice, the bass, the drum beat, this song moves your soul.
I love ❤️ this song ❤️ 🎵 I'm so blessed to have grown up in the 70's, when music 🎶 🎵 was actually music 🎶 🎵. It had feeling and meaning 🎉🎉. Today's music needs a lot to be desired 🎉🎉
Dude was a force of nature! Huge in EVERY way. Huge voice, huge tone, huge heart and HUGE impact on heavy metal. Rest in peace brother.
One of my favorite
Rest in peace Leslie West one of the greatest guitarist of all time
When did he die?
Just found out he passed another one of my guitar heroes bites the dust so glad we had them to enjoy where the time we did Leslie rest in peace
I'm a little over 60 and we were truly blessed when we were growing up to have as much talent in music that we had again one of my guitar heroes has passed rest in peace 🕊️
Also Rest In Peace Felix Pappalardi was another band member of Mountain playing by his side guy had one of the sickest mustaches of all time since Buck Dharma, Brad Delp & Freddie Mercury Rest In Peace to both of them as well! 👨🏻👨🤘🎸
Leslie was one of a kind!
To me, one of the greatest rock song of all times....end of story
CHA !!/:)
The best part about this version is, they slowly raise the volume getting louder and louder then boom; eargasm
Without a doubt.
I've only heard this occasionally in my life but it gives me chills when I do.
pressrolls, end of story! Amen!
My dad and I would listen to this song in his car (Studio version) on my way to school. We loved it! One of my favorite memories of my dad, who has long since passed away. ROCK ON DAD!
todd holmes thank you for telling your story and glad on your behalf for those good Memories .. and rock on to you too .. 😎
12 - 23 - 20
R.I.P. Leslie West at 75 years
One of the greatest gifts a parent can give a child, is the introduction to Rock & Roll.
We were neck deep in some of the greatest band's and music it was a wonderful time to be young
@@mickbever9249 You are so right my friend! Every time you turned around, a great new song would blast through the car radio! "Mississippi Queen" "Ride Captain Ride", "Fame",(David Bowie) "Clap for the Wolfman" and on and on..... You are right, it was a great time to be young!
Saw them live at our high school about 1974 I think. Yes that’s right, they performed at our high school. John Jay HS in Hopewell NY. Best concert ever, from what I can remember! Thanks for the best memories!
The 70's were the greatest time to be an American and to be alive..
This was the party anthem in the early 70's. You knew the party had started when that cowbell kicked in. Thank you so much for this wonderful song, Leslie. I had a lot of good times listening to it, watching you play it as a young man and old, and jamming on it in my own band. Hell, I still like playing it now. Rock on.
Rich Sutterfield in college now and can say that it’s still the party song today lol. Everybody loves this damn song
The partying never ends...
Rich Sutterfield “Made loud to be played loud”
Its still like that here in the deep South ✌❤
One of the bands that shaped heavy metal.
One of the most powerful hard rock tunes i've ever heard, and i've heard them all.
And one of the very first heavy songs quite like this in the genre. I didn't realize how old this song was until recently.
Me as well, Mississippi Queen àllways hits ya, this song has stood the test of time and àllways will. Saw BTO IN 86, they were backing up VH and BTO did Mississippi Queen just about blew the roof off the arena it was a great cover.
Mountain was my first concert ever. Saw them at The Academy of Music in NYC, 1971. I was 13 years old. My brother took me on condition I didn’t tell anyone his date stood him up (my luck). We had seats 7th row center. Amazing show. $5.50 a ticket. Driving home over the Brooklyn Bridge in his VW Super Beetle, I could see his lips moving but couldn’t hear anything other than faint ringing in my ears. Was like I was in a silent movie. Loudest band I ever had the pleasure to see live until I saw The Clash at Bonds International Casino in ‘77. Fond memories (as I go slowly deaf at age 64, after more than 250 rock concerts all over the world).
Rock on dude.
I love it! My first concert was Rare Earth with my dad in Raleigh in 1971! I was 13 also!! 😁
His vocals are just as powerful as the guitar riffs.....badassery!
Good GOD what a great singer!!!!
And very VERY few guitar players can play simple riffs with feel.
Fuckin’ A
I was born in may 1969, vietnam and Leslie west his guitar tone with a single P90 les paul jr was insane,
This song was on AM radio way back when. It certainly did something to me when I was a young teen.
What an.. absolutely... Awesome...song !!!👍🎸😎
His voice was a force of nature.
Yes!
RIP Leslie west, you were a kickass front man
These boys really put the power in the “power trio”. Long live Mountain and Leslie West.
You missed the keyboard player Steve Knight.
@@dala5568 right. and he had the grooviest haircut
Had the pleasure of working with Leslie. I was the photographer for this charity event via the group of artists he was working with, Voices of Classic Rock at the Isle Of Capril Casino which is now the Golden Nugget. Very nice man. Great song! RIP legend.
Leslie West..Heaven must have ONE OUTRAGEOUS JAM session going on
Love the raw sound. Bands these days need to go back to that.
One of the funniest rock 'n' roll stories I've ever heard involves Mountain and Black Sabbath on tour together. On one night, Sabbath couldn't go on stage because Tony Iommi had lost his artificial fingers and couldn't play the guitar; Mountain, however, couldn't fill the entire bill because Leslie had gotten drunk the night before and lost his false teeth, and therefore couldn't sing! Oh, to be a roadie on tour with these holy fools in the '70s!
You weren't there which is why you need to be there to imprison people. First hand knowledge. Not being stupid
@@TheStephenPJensen One time there were these things called "jokes."

Putting on the same stage, in the same evening, Sabbath and Mountins was azardous at the beginning of seventies....
Lol,,now that’s the 70s I remember
I love Mountain, one of the few American bands that could hang with the Brits at the time; Leslie West is a powerhouse.
Don't forget who played the pretty slide work on Layla for Clapton. Yesr, that boy from Macon GA. Duane Allman
And James Gang.
Blue Cheer
@@rogerlee486 Thanks for mentioning that. Even though I'm a classic rock fan in my late 30's that's been hearing that song for the last 30 some years, and as a guitar player since the year 2000, I somehow didn't know that! There's always some tidbit of info you learn from time to time about these old bands.
@@Tessmage_Tessera Blue Cheer and Mountain together invented metal
It is a rift you cannot forget once you hear it. It is a cornerstone to anyone that was raised on rock.
*riff*
@@philwright2480 raff...
@@aaronaldrich4577 Riff
I have never seen a band louder than Mountain. I saw them once and also saw West Bruce and Lang. Leslie West knows how to party.
saw them in plattsburgh '74 still the loudest show i saw/ heard !
Yes he did they had a fence up to keep people away from the stage Lesley west waived for us to come up and party and that's just what we did didn't take long rolled up a quarter pound joint for the occasion sweet memory 😃
Agreed. And that is probably why Felix Pappalardi was medically deaf by the time he tragically passed in 1983.
Now that's real music.. Can't believe these guys aren't in the rock and roll hall of fame... Unbelievable talent!!!
THEY SHOULD BE! LET'S GET ON THAT, BOOMERS! DON'T PUT ANY MORE PUSSIES IN THERE!
#RaRHoF #MOUNTAIN
The raunchiest, ballsiest guitar tone known to mankind..and what a set of Lungs on Mr. West....also cool to see that their hard rock music sound enjoyed by all creeds of people. Good music brings 'em all together..
If there is a cowbell in a song how can you not think of Miss. Queen ? We had a band in the early 70's and when we heard Mountain, this song was definatly going to be in the song list. God I miss those days of ROCK & ROLL !!!!!!!
Man, I absolutely loved any Band that covered Mountain back in 1970. Bet you all had fun.
More cowbell!!!!!
Me too
MOUNTAIN NEEDS TO BE IN THE ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME 2021
They’re too busy inducting mega-powerful rock acts like Biggie Smalls and Whitney Houston.
Can’t believe this song is 50 years old. Rock lives forever
This band just kicks major ass!!! Leslie West has one of the best hard rock/bluesy voices 🤘🔥🤘
Not enough is said about what a great singer Leslie West was
Man I remember this so vividly, 10 years old at my friend's house we'd listen to the latest rock and there was so much coming out we couldn't keep up with it, songs and bands coming out everyday, great memories in 1970.😁
Man!!!! This is pure Musical magic!!! Soon as it starts So does the party 🎼💕🎼
My go to many a Friday night!!!
Damn.Remember them with alot of good times riding around and grooving to the music🎼
13 in 70 and got this album and I was in Rock Heaven. Yasgars Farm.
Would have loved to have been there. Leslie's voice was so powerful back then!
He had the voice of a thunder!!
There's a video of him teaching how to play M.Q. He belts out a few lines as he does it and he can still sing... What a talent.
RIP Leslie West. We lost another guitar great. Mountain was a badass band.
Leslie.....Felix....Corky......thank you so very much for being a part of my early existance in the early 1970s. You guys KICKED ASS!! RIP Leslie and Felix. I'm sure you are all jamming with the greats now!
This is the coolest video. EVER.
Sou Brasileiro e tenho 23 anos, mas esse vídeo me faz entender como nos anos 70 o rock n roll era mais puro, Banda Mountain é simplismente um dos maiores exemplos de rock n roll puro 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🤟🏽🤟🏽
I absolutely adore how the drums kicked in. What a way to chop up that beat. AMAZING!!
Saw them at the Eastown in Detroit May 1971, legendary. RIP Leslie West
i was in vietnam from 1970 to 1971....got out in january of 1971....man, reality was soooo different then....everything seemed on a positive upward trajectory .... sooo many creative things happening everywhere....here it is 2022 and not anywhere near the same vibe(s)...i am now a 71 year old guy remembering the good ol days....very proud to have been there...
Ronnie thank you for what you did in Vietnam you should be very proud and it’s also great to remember bands like mountain I’m 66 and still remember the wild times. Never forget.
BTW, here in 2019, whenever you see folks in their late 60s or early 70s and think they are "old," remember that their generation gave us this music. They are much hipper than today's hipsters could ever dream of being.
Yeh I was there & still here memories intact!!
ok boomer
AMEN baby, you hit the nail on the head !
@@yungtityboi7719 , okay, Incel....
Call us Boomers or anything else that floats your boat. Just remember that we lived and breathed for the waves of great music produced from around 1965 to ‘75. No internet, just free-form FM radio in most cities, plus journals like Creem, Circus, Rolling Stone etc. to help us keep abreast of the vast number of great artists.
BTW, that’s the legendary NYC DJ Murray the K (Kaufman) at the very end during his FM days. He was on WINS 1010 from 1958, playing Top 40 and hosting the Beatles in 1964-65. When WOR FM 98.7 went to a progressive free-form Rock format in 1966, Murray morphed into a laid back style playing non-Top 40 records.
My God!! I used to play this over and over again in 1972 when my parents weren't home. I used to do alot of things when my parents weren't home...lol It's all good...
😂 especially if the folks were on a vacation. They'd say No Parties! What'd me & My bro do? Have a damn kick-ass Party!😭😂🎶🎵🎸 💃 Sorry Mom& Dad
I saw Sabbath at Grant Park Chicago 1969 . They came out in all black ( what else ) they were unknown ; but blew everyone away ! Ozzy , was FANTASTIC !
Dam I miss the 70's
I wasn't even there and I miss them
One of the best guitar riffs in the history of rock music. Maybe THE best. RIP Mr West.
They were three piece when I saw them. Leslie West Felix Pappalardi and Corky Lange. They were loud, awsome and blew me away for days
i was born in 1978 and grew up listening to mountain and a slue of great rockers they helped make me the drummer I am today this song still brings me to tears it is just the energy that makes it so good
Jimi hendrix noted Leslie west as the greatest and most under appreciated guitarist of his time.
I've never had this many likes. When this video came out it was at 500 likes when I first saw it that kyou for giving me faith in the music seen again, peace from Shaggie.
scottiehippie And that coming from Jimi Hendrix and the greatest..
scottiehippie AFREAKINMAN!!!!
Sad how great he was. I pray for a thimble full of his talent. This song did, does, and will always kick ass!!!!!
That was Townshend.
That was Terry Kath
JA Campbell Correct. Jimi loved this riff, but said Terry was a better guitar player than himself. Leslie is still fantastic though.
My neighbors listen to this with me...
My neighbour called the police because I was listening to this to loud - the police came around and arrested him
@@dewipritchard1409as they should.
I saw Mountain when I was 12, the best band of the day at a one-day music festival. To this day, I've never been to a live concert where a band could deliver a sonic blast like Mountain. Kid you not, the concrete floor beneath my feet was vibrating during "Mississippi Queen". As a Rolling Stone writer eloquently put it: we are losing the voices of the 20th century. R.I.P. Leslie.
*Theme From An Imaginary Western*
was a favorite song for me back in the day... so long ago.
It was the music of the times. I've seen Leslie West live three different time through the coarse of my life and never been disappointed. Definitely a man who played with VOLUME!
Rest In Paradise Leslie West & Felix Pappalardi
And Steve Knight
Leslie West and Felix Pappilardi are a very underrated rock duo.
I’m just going to be 62 how have I never heard this or heard of the band?!!! This is amazing!
Glad you came out from that rock my friend!
That song still rocks harder and more melodically than any of most of today's rehashed and recycled crap.
Yea imma start a band and try to BRING THE 80E BACK ALIVE BABY
Still true 8 years later, except for maybe GVF
Straight on ..... and need to get it back!!
Yeah and you can dance to it too.
Eat shit, Pariss. Get your head out of your "generational" ass. Also, have a nice day.
RIP Leslie West. I was lucky to see Mountain live in 1972 or 1973. I was amazed by the power and energy coming from the stage from only 3 musicians.
My favorite version of Miss. Queen is this live footage, along with what leads up to it... brings back being in the NE back then & writing a Mtn. record review for my school paper. It's a mountain of a performance; damn...
Maybe the coolest riff in rock and roll history
53 years later and Im still tripping
RIP.. Rock In Peace , Leslie West 🎸💜
Man, It's so cool to watch Felix getting into the song and into Leslie's playing! You see him watching Leslie play and then after a bit he starts smiling. It's like, "This song is so great and I'm part of it"! Haha.
I think he missed his queue too!
I saw Leslie, Carmine and Jack Bruce open for Kiss in 75. Leslie was I believe to this day, the LOUDEST freaking guitarist I've ever heard. You could see the grill cloths literally rippling on his speaker cabs. I was right in front of him. I couldn't turn my head because it was like an icepick in the eardrum. Good times!
Leslie West is the coolest, then and now.
Mountain was a like freight train running through your head.
So UNDERATED is Mr. West. Cool as hell too. Had the pleasure of speaking w/him in our favorite bagel shop. He was fresh off of one of his killer appearances on The Howard Stern Show,mid to late 80s. Rock on Leslie!
R.I.P Leslie West. Your music soothes us from the emptiness of your loss but also grieves us to how great the loss is. I will see you again
Rip Les! Your greatness will be remembered for as long as there is a volume button !!!!
Saw them in the 70's in Fort Smith, Arkansas. They blew us away. Gawddamned West laid it down!!!
my ass is jealous! i was alive in the 70's but too young to go to concerts. somebody get to building that time machine!
That is one sick guitar tone.
Give me more cow-bell....Ah Mountain 1970 I was jamming it....2022 still kickin it.
This song, and the video with it, screams 1970....Love it!
R.I.P. Leslie West! You are gone but your music will shine and live on through out Eternity.
The great Leslie west
This is still so heavy! What a great sound!
I finally got to see Leslie West--in August 1999 --(same weekend too)
Woodstock's 30th anniversary show at the site of Yasgars farm in White Lake NY. 10 bands that played at Woodstock played that day (Richie Havens walked right by me getting to the stage!!!) But seeing LW for the 1st time was what I looked forward to that day. He had lost a lot of his weight and was in love again--- and he eventually got his gf to walk out onto the stage to say hi -it was so cool and he was so happy-++ and he ROCKED!!
Rhythm of such music was like best vibration.... even for (my) life! So lucky we are to hear this wonderful handmade music in and from our young age on! Best greeting
from Germany!
Saw Leslie West at the War Memorial in Syracuse, NY in the early 70's. The place was empty and SO many people missed the greatest show! He was fabulous!
Early 70's, too young here to be there unfortunately, I will say for sure it was my fucking loss.
Yeah, he was great!
I saw mountain in 72 at the coliseum in Vancouver BC.Someone kicked my bike over that night.Who would do that to a 41 Knucklehead I ask you.
That Les Paul Jr. And the sunn coliseum amplifiers, had to make them see god,. Wish I was there but I was 1 year old in 1970, but the music is forever, rip Leslie west we love you man,
Man I wad 9 in 1970 and probably not until 1981 at 20 that I could hit that grove with that band. Better than hot coffee to wake you up in the morning and clear out the sinus. I am blow away by the kids of today that also love Mountain.
Masterpiece
Best concert ever...May 28, 1970, about the same time of this video...Mountain and Jethro Tull, Ohio Wesleyan University, Delaware, Ohio...they did a forty-minute version of MQ...

Leslie makes me smile too❤so funny love this
You kids want to rock? Dig this!
Papplardi should be in the R & R hall of fame if only for his production work. He produced two of the greatest rock albums ever make - Cream's Disraeli Gears and Wheels of Fire.
.
1blastman Perhaps... but have you ever been there? It's a pretty weak set-up, IMHO... I mean, they had a couple of decent displays (Springsteen, Dylan, and Jeff Buckley), but I think overall they were far too American-band oriented., again with IMHO. Not to mention the handfuls of children of patrons of the R & R Hall of Fame, who were walking around the building more or less clueless...
1blastman I agree!
Daniel, we're talkin' Cleveland, not much appeal for me to go up there.
The Rock HOF should be in New Orleans. So much good early rock came from here. Fats Domino, Little Richard, Frogman Henry, Huey Piano Smith, Roy Brown, Guitar Slim, Slim Harpo, Jerry Lee Lewis and many more either came from New Orleans or Louisiana.
Felix was the man, practically the fourth member of Cream. I love how they even quote the riff to Politician at the end of the jam here.
We miss you Felix. And Jack, too.
One of my very favorite guitar players. Soul in every note. Rest well, Leslie West.
i clearly have been fkn born many years too late in life... this music cinches it, especially the studio version...so hot so good

RIP leslie West we will ALWAYS have your guitar to lift us up 🎸🎶
