    Aside from Windmill McDouchebag, this has to be one of Wests best performance of this song.

      Felice Lococo lol thanks, he is the bass player that keeps the jokes relevant.

      Windmill McDouchebag has spent too much time studying Billy Sheehan.

      It would have been a bit more palatable if I could have heard the guy, and if the bass had a real good grind that backed up the guitar. It seemed to just dissipate as soon as the actual song kicks in.

    This might the best version of this song..I an a leslie fan since the 70s..West,bruce,laing was the pinnacle of leslie s career. Corky laing was powerful drummer always overlooked because of guys like bonham ..I felt corky had more punch live than bonham did..just my perception.. Mountain early 70s was unbelievable live..Felix corky and leslie, dont forget Steve knight he really added to the band..My musical life changed after seeing mountain live @ the long beach arena 1973. I had never seen that sorta live musicality before, never..Never in my life! Bless leslie as his talent and abilities change with age, and his disability ..leslie struggled herion addiction as did Jack bruce WBL was called the "Herion" band!! Thanks for the good times leslie and Jack, & Corky..

    @gbrycki You are SO RIGHT Gbrycki. Im hearing tone from West I've just never heard before. West gets more out of a single note than most guitarists can get out of an entire song. Never fails to amaze.

    Leslie's voice and tone here was monumental and remincent of the early mountain days.
    I remember the first time I heard Mountain and I knew within the first few minutes Mountain was truly a mountain of a band and a force to be reccongized.

    Thanks for posting this! Leslie’s guitar tone has a bite very similar to his old Les Paul Junior from way back. Nobody can best him when it comes to distinguishable style and tone, except perhaps Tony Iommi, another living guitar god.
    The other commentators are correct regarding the bass player - his “schtick” blows. Save the visual BS for Poison or another “D” level band.

    I wonder if Leslie told the tech to turn the "bass player's" sound off 🤔 !! LW's tone was always Epic and this is one of my fav versions. Felix would sound super with that fuzz bass next to LW here!

    Knowing the New York reputation of Leslie West I would bet that Leslie wanted to have the bass player wacked and thrown in the Jersey Dump with the rest of the garbage. However, Leslie maintained and played his heart out as always. RIP Great One.

    2 valid points:
    1) remove 2 strings from the bass.

  • @PatrickKingPhl
    @PatrickKingPhl Рік тому +1

    What makes the bass player think that this show is about him? The obnoxious prancing and the "hey look at how cool I am" haircut are bad enough, but then to swing it around for the entire performance is just disrespectful to Leslie West. Save cool for what you can actually do. Not the uniform you wear. And from what I heard, you don't do that very well.
