Nice to see a thread for Leslie West & company.

I don't have the "Live 'N' Kickin'" album but I do have 2 of their other ones.

I've been a big fan of Mountain and Leslie West for quite some time. Always felt that they were very underrated and have been labled by some rock critics as the poor man's Cream which I never quite got. Leslie West has also been called a Clapton rip off which doesn't make sense being both men have completely different styles. Though Leslie is considered one of the best by his peers which to me counts.

I remember reading the newspaper the morning after Felix Pappalardi's wife shot him to death and was stunned. Despite being a talented musician Felix was also a top notch producer who of course produced the last 3 Cream albums. I have the Felix Pappalardi album Creation which Rolling Stone called the worst Italian/Japanese Coalition since WW II.

I've seen Leslie West live 4 times (once with Corky Laing) and he always puts on a great show.

Here's a pretty amusing video featuring Leslie West and Zakk Wylde

Never In My Life



Why in the name that is holy I haven't heard this track before? This is super-hyper-ultra-mega HEAVY!

 

[Sox]

Fantastic thread Mountain were an incredible outfit . A favourite track of mine.

"Don't Look Around"



I'll be nipping back in here for sure.

 

[METALPRIEST]

Still a killer live version of Play With Fire!!

 

[Nololob]

Looks like you really dig that live album, MP. I'll try it later today then.

 

[Big Ears]

Taunta (Sammy's Tune)/Nantucket Sleighride to Owen Coffin (on the second band album) is an utterly fantastic track.

Happy Birthday to Leslie West!
