    Those are fantastic, but I think the performances by Mountain at woodstock are worth a mention. Leslie West's riffage is incredible, and the bassist and drummer keep the groove going very nicely. One of my personal favorites from woodstock has to be "Southbound Train" by Mountain. Check it out if you can
