Hey guys! Hope you all had a good week, time to start the weekend off with a BANGER!! Cheers!! 🔥🤟🏻😁
Yep this is like the dawn of Metal... That rift will blow you away
Next one should be Never In My Life - actually think it is the better of the two
Mountain - Southbound Train live at Woodstock
Walk on the Wild Side by Lou Reed is a 100k view song.
You've got to take on Train Train by Blackfoot, talk about sauce then...
Some Molly Hatchet would also be a nice addition, nobody sits down during a Hatchet concert.
Mountain is an often overlooked band, but back in his day Leslie West was like the godfather of lead guitar.
RIP
Still is
True, I lived it.
Chx out the version of the Who "love ain't 4 keeping " with Leslie West doing the lead guitar.
And he could sang!!!!!!
When you realize your grandparents music is cooler than yours...
Truth!!!! 😂
Thank you!
So True!!
base on some old picture I found. I can say that my grand parent is way cooler than I could ever be. i mean they belong to a motor gang. an actual gang.
I mastubate to anime.
You are damn right!!! I have turned my grandkids on to a lot of great music!
The 70's had a embarrassment of riches in music.
Candice Scott I concur with that assessment.
Without a doubt! I could name 20 bands that were insanely good! Mountain. Heep. Purple... Humble Pie. 10 yrs after. On and on....
@@richardvacha2040 Amen!
We were definitely spoiled! And to think, DISCO, killed it!
It started in the 60's and got even better
I saw Mountain in 1973. Sadly, Leslie West passed-away last week from a heart attack. The man could rip the hell out of a guitar. He will be missed. R.I.P. Mr. West.
As a dude born in '85, I cannot even fucking IMAGINE how sick it must've been to save up for a '69 Charger, throw Mississippi Queen on, and hit the road. Fuckkkkk, yall really got some of the best times.
Im 67yo....69 Charger was my dream car in the day. Ended up with a 70 Challenger, and a killer stereo for those road trips.
Don't have to imagine. Those were our weekend nights on moonlight rides to nowhere.
Leslie West! One of the best and most underrated guitarists of the era.
One my faves. Ever hear West, Bruce & Laing? Live n kickin'? My opinion, greatest power blues ever!!
Guitarists appreciate him.
A Master indeed! Unfortunately he is really struggling with severe health issues right now 😢
@@dnasoffHe'll always be God! To some guitar players
Rest in power 🤘
Pat Travers Band--"Snortin' Whiskey" is the 70's banger to chase "Mississippi Queen" when you're ready to take the party to the next level.
Ryan Poortenga been snortin whisky and drinkin cocaine 🎶🎶🎶🎶
STRAIGHT UP BANGER!
Great call.
Then take a shot after every BOOM BOOM OUT GO THE LIGHTS to finish the set.
BOOM BOOM
I've tried and tried to request songs for these guys, but so many people throw band after band at these guys that, I think A and A are just completely inundated. Wish they were a bit more unpopular! Travers for sure!
A perfect song. There is not a moment-- from the first hit of the cow bell onward-- that is not an unrelenting awesomeness of awesome.
So far ahead of its time Still rocks
Best 3 minute rock and roll song EVER!!!
The best Mountain guitar solo (in my opinion) is in Theme from an Imaginary Western. One of the sweetest, most joy-producing solos in history.
Wow, thank you for that. Just went and checked it out. Beautiful
I agree.
Another slightly obscure banger is Blackfoot's Train, Train.
Yes!!!
Absolutely!!
Talk about evocative harmonica, that's a true banger.
and Tomcattin
The harmonica is so tasty
Joe Walsh or James Gang. Walsh- Rocky Mountain Way. James Gang- Walk Away. Both are Joe Walsh projects. Good singer, guitar player and has a great sense of humor.
Matthew Drake Walsh - Life of Illusion. James Gang - Funk #49
I second Funk # 49!
Also " lifes been good to me so far".
@@freedomlost08 Absolutely
Before I read any of the comments, I was thinking, these guys would dig James Gang. Trip.
Mountain "Never In My Life" and "Theme For An Imaginary Western"
nantucket sleighride
Don't look around.
Sittin' on a Rainbow
There are only a handful of songs that I never get tired of hearing even if I've heard them thousands of times; this is one of them.
“It’s like a brick wall of sound” that’s a good way of describing it
James Gang fits that hard rock never broke through mold. Of course everybody knows one of it's founders Joe Walsh.
"Walk Away" is a good one.
And Funk 49
In the City!!!
Rocky Moutain Way
Also, Must Be Love.
Mountain actually played at Woodstock in 1969. Their manager didn't think it was a good idea to be included in the documentary, so they are largely forgotten about being there.
Idiot manager!
The manager though they should get payment for appearing in the movie, not realizing that the exposure alone would be enough. That's why more people remember Santana and Sly and the Family Stone today more than Mountain, even though they were all pretty much unknown at the time.
Leslie West was one of the best back in the day. This clip of Southbound Train is supposedly from their Woodstock performance. czcams.com/video/YnK9skV4z0Y/video.html
"Rock and Roll Hootchie Koo" Rick Derringer (original)
Great version but Johnny Winter recorded it first. Rick did write it.
Comes out banging from the first millisecond until the last.
Their song "Never In My Life" will melt your face.
I agree, also they do a song The animal trainer and I dont remember the rest of the title but it is total kick ass
@@bronkobri The Animal Trainer and the Toad
Funny i just posted the same comment before i even saw your comment. Great minds think alike!
Seen leslie in the 80's solo awesome He talked about seeing cream with his brother Asked him why don't we sound like that Brother said practice Then he went into a cream montage perfect
Robin Trower “Bridge of Sighs”
fuckin a
Too Rolling Stoned as well
The whole album, "Bridge of Sighs". One of the few perfectly made albums like Rush's "Moving Pictures".
Kenny Biel - oh yea, definitely.
Day of the Eagle
JAMES GANG Funk-49 and Walk Away
Real Truth turn to stone...
Meadows is a great one too
Great albums. But I saw them live in the fall of 69 with Santana at the Fillmore East and there is no James Gang like the live James Gang. So my vote is for the James Gang live in Concert album. A pretty good representation of what they were like live back in the day. I can remember a clear bodied Dan Electro guitar and bass, small drum set, LOTS of power and volume and a phenomenal guitar performance by an unknown kid named Joe Walsh, who just tore it up with his incredible sound, style and playing ability. Pre Eagles, this was seeing Joe and history in the making, one of those moments that will stick with you for the rest of your life.
Double the Funk! #48 and #49!
The Hollies, Tall cool women in a black dress!!!
*Long
*woman
YES, a definite as this song is a "classic"!
And The Air That I Breathe
SECOND!
Leslie West just passed. How about "Nantucket Sleighride" by Mountain?
My personal favorite.
Leslie West was the singer as well as lead guitarist.
Especially the live version they released.
@@barrybouton4395 Bad boy came from same neighborhood in Queens. Huge guy who played third base in softball games and was a very good hitter.
Theme from an imaginary western and Never in my life too
Great choice, Mountain was a one of a kind 3 piece band. really at the top back in the early 70s. They played at Woodstock. you gotta hear
"Nantucket Sleighride" ( a rock whaling ballad) and "Theme from an Imaginary Western" both have haunting beautiful meloddies with awsome guitar leads. LESLIE WEST was a guitar master, and everybody knew it. They were way underrated
"Stealin" by Uriah Heep!
You guys would love "Nantucket Sleighride"
GREAT song!
I agree! Nantucket Sleighride ... Bring it!
✌️♥️
That’s the one
Saw these guys in a high school gym and Leslie West was so messed up I thought he was going to fall off the stage and he still sounded great. Nantucket Sleigh is a great choice
Felix Pappalardi epic bass
Montrose! Montrose! Montrose! The entire first album, any track. Young Sammy Hagar on vocals, Ronnie Montrose on guitar. Killer!!!!!
Yes! Yes! Yes! I wish more people would recommend...
Saw Mountain back in the 70's when they were peaking.. they were absolutely explosive Leslie West unbelievable i think my ears are still ringing...
Love you youngsters are getting a taste of the time when real music existed and people knew how to play their own instruments. HUMBLE PIE guys! I Don't Need No Doctor...live at The Filmore. Fave band of the 70's. Saw them in concert 5 times.
Real music still exist dude. Don't be such a boomer.
@@monkeyniko hahaha haha, really!?! Who?
Dinosaurs ROCK! ✊️😁🤘
@@Belit01 they could not carry old school rock's condoms!
Leslie West guitar is like the dawn of heavy metal 🧡🧡🧡🎸🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Kelli Erin legend
I think you need to go way back for the dawn of heavy meatal. Check out Link Wray and The Wraymen "Rumble" written in 1957. Jimmy Page credits Link Wray for the development of the power chord
Some bands/songs that deserve a listen:
Molly Hatchet - Flirting With Disaster
Nazareth - Hair Of The Dog
Head East - Never Been Any Reason
I posted Never Been Any Reason ....great minds!! That song is rock heaven to me! Head East was super big in the mid south and mid west!!
Any of those!!
LoneStar Avenger How about "Jim Dandy"(to the rescue) by Black Oak Arkansas, an old obscure song from the early 70s. If you've never heard it, give it a listen. All 3 you've listed are grade-A bangers.
Definitely Hair or the Dog, for the love of all that is good, please.
Nszareth" Hair of the Dog".
Songs off the beaten path -
"Never Been Any Reason" Head East
"30 Days in the Hole" Humble Pie
"Ride Captain Ride" Blues Image
Never Been Any Reason has been on my playlist since it was released. The band was doomed because of drugs, but they put out a couple of very delectible platters back in the day.
3 great choices there!
All of these!
Funny I just commented abt HUMBLE PIE THIRTY DAYS IN THE HOLE! Great minds think alike✌
Steve Marriott had one of the best rock and roll voices ever.
"I'm Goin' Home" performed at Woodstock by Ten Years After. Can't Miss!!
Right up there in my top three rock songs of the 70's. Grabs you right away and never lets go.
"Like 'Born on the Bayou' on meth." Best description ever.
Chris Oliver right?? LOL
Meth is stupid.
As for not hearing Hendrix: he's not listened to as much because young morons believe Stevie Ray Vaughn's note-for-note copies of Hendrix are "awesome". The racism hasn't changed.
Try "Paul Butterfield Blues Band" -- the first LP, not the second, over which so many went nuts for "East-West". And yes to their third: "The Resurrection of Pigboy Crabshaw," after heroin-addict Mike Bloomfield left and they returned to their Chicago blues.
J Nagarya Jesus dude
Such a huge guitar sound from a Les Paul Jr. Highly inspired by Cream. Singer/bassist Felix Pappalardi (sp) actually produced Cream's Disraeli Gears ("Sunshine if Your Love") album.
Mountain is because Leslie West is a very large man.
I think Leslie West (the "Great Fatsby") actually played the lead guitar and sang, and Felix Papallardi was his bassist.
@@philraimi3903 You are correct. This is Leslie singing. Felix sings lead on other songs. I just read that the cowbell was Felix had required so many takes the drummer started using the cowbell to count in the song and Felix loved it and kept it as he was the producer.
@@johncampbell756 I just LOVE these reaction videos made by guys and women decades younger than the music! I'm in my early 60s so I wasn't quite old enough either to appreciate some of this music in its prime (late 60s-early 70s) but old enough to have heard it and dug on it for decades. Its SUCH a GAS when people in their 20s-40s appreciate HOW GREAT this music really was, particularly in comparison to the absolute CRAP that is Pop music today.
@@philraimi3903 I'm 50 and right there with you. It was the mid to late 1970s when I started becoming aware of new music as opposed to older songs. By 1980/1981 my current musical taste was largely set. I was 11/12.
@@johncampbell756 I hear ya brother!!
“BOOM BOOM Out go the Lights!” by Pat Travers Band. Trust me.
Pat Travers doing Statesboro Blues
That is a fun concert to be at. He encouraged audience participation, especially this song.
Pat Travers Live, go for what you know. Heat in the Street (boon boom worst song on the LP . sorry JJ
J. J. H, wow that brings back memories. I can remember when this would come on the radio and several of us were together, we'd sing the audience part at the top of our lungs. What a great memory. Thanks for that.
Trust the man
Fun fact, Felix Papalardi is one of the members and he produced the Cream albums... I feel he kept some of the production technique and tone from there and applied it in Mountain.
Mississippi queen is one of the greatest rock songs of all times, Leslie West one of greatest rock guitar player of the era, very accomplished.
James Gang, The entire "James Gang Rides Again" Album
Funk 49 is one of my all time favorite songs
William Swiniuch you have impeccable taste my friend
@@williamswiniuch7527 agreed!
@@williamswiniuch7527 I would like to see them review, Funk #48 and #49 at the same time. Both are fairly short in length and both are a whole lotta Joe Funky!
Dam, I haven’t heard this song in years! Nothing like hearing it with fresh ears, it’s dirty as hell🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
One of their best riffs, from the same album, "Never In My Life". The song "Theme From An Imaginary Western" was also a classic. Leslie West (voc. + gtr.) was one of the first to use pinch harmonics on guitar with distortion (This was 1970). I think he was heavily influenced by Cream era Clapton; especially techniques used on "Badge". In an interview he said that after seeing Cream live, he decided to practice more before recording his first album.
There's A LOT of crossover between Cream and Mountain. Felix Pappillardi, who was the bass player in Mountain also produced Disreali Gears, for example.
@@jasonremy1627 He also played violas on that repeating 4 note intro theme on "White Room" from Wheels Of Fire.
Mountain was my mom's 1st concert when she was a freshman in HS. She's in her 60's now.
Their opening act? Black Sabath! Mom is still a Sabath & Izzy fan, & she's a retired grandmother!
Raw, fat, garage-band sound. I can listen to it 1,000 times over. RIP Lesley!
Never Been any Reason by Head East ! Classic B level band with this great song ....and more ! TRUST ME
Sounded like a jam session and they said hey, this is song. Add some cowbell, done.
T-Rex, Bang a Gong
Ozark Mountain Daredevils - Jackie Blue and If You Want to Get to Heaven
Sugar Loaf - Green-Eyed Lady
Norman Greenbaums - Spirit In The Sky
Definitely Green-Eyed Lady
on T-rex, pick Electric Warrior or the double Slider, throw a dart at the 35 or so songs and you cant miss greatness
Black Oak Arkansas
@@Joeyland Agreed. T-Rex was one of those bands that was your favorite band's favorite band. David Bowie gave 'em a shout-out in "All The Young Dudes" with Mott The Hoople.
2nd that on Bang a Gong.
Great choice.... A classic...
Try Jackie Blue by The Ozark Mountain Daredevils... For another great tune from the same era.
My choice as well
Mountain "
"Never In My Life"
"Theme For An Imaginary Western"
West Bruce and Laing
"Backfire"
"Out Into the Fields"
"Token"
Great driving energy song! Try Never Been Any Reason by Head East.
Uriah Heep- Easy Livin ( from 1972 ) Another great track that's short, but it's just so damn good!
Nice. In the same era - "Vehicle - Ides of March"
Yes! Jim Peterik awesome artist and all around nice Chicago guy!
@@briansd2772 all true, but if you listen to the lyrics it is one creepy song.😎
great tune
Try real headphone candy-"Time (has come today)" by the Chambers Brothers- the long studio version
Great song!
True Psychedelic Trip! Love it.
The very first live concert I saw was the Chambers Brothers back in 68. And the opening act was The Vagrants which was Leslie West's original band.
@@johnrobb8435 That's so cool! Lucky! :)
While checking out the Chambers Bros., listen to Can’t Turn You Loose.
Yea, I'm gonna get drunk. This is a banger guys.
My favorite track by Mountain is their live Woodstock version of "Theme From An Imaginary Western." One of those magic moments when the tape machine happens to be running.
Leslie West is one of the greatest guitarists ever. Now that you’ve found Mountain, listen to Theme From An Imaginary Western or Nantucket Sleighride. Even better than Mississippi Queen.
Love the previous suggestion for Rare Earth. “Get Ready” is great, and the tambourine is killer if you can believe it. Their song “Celebrate” is a classic and another song you’ve probably heard parts of in commercials and pop culture, but you never knew what it was.
Seeing lots of requests for James Gang…my two favorites are still FUNK 49 and WALK AWAY…
Turn to stone
Yes yes yes!!
The bass player was Felix Pappalardi also a writer, producer and arranger on Cream’s album Disraeli Gears. He was killed by his wife in 1983.
Guys, he always played a Les Paul Junior and had it screaming.
Felix Pappalardi, the bass player, was working with Cream on Disraeli Gears when he and Leslie West formed Mountain with Corky Lang on drums.
Killer live act.
This song is one of the giant icons of Rock. Lesly West's Guitar riffs in this are magnificent! I think this came out in the late 60s or early 70s.
Either way, like the beginning to Stairway to Heaven, or Deep Purple's "Smoke on The Water, Mississippi Queen's opening cowbell, and Lesly West's signature Riffs, slap anyone over 55 years, and older, in the face, the split second...it begins playing.
Thanks guys
Grand Funk Railroad"inside looking out" live from 1969 . Probably my favorite live performance ever ☮️
One of the greatest Rock songs of all times.
I had always thought the name Mountain referred to Leslie West's massive presence at the time. His transformation a couple of decades later was astonishing.
Leslie West was a big man with big talent. Dude could really play...
"Born to be Wild" - Steppenwolf. The #1 "quintessential" road "banger" of all time!!! Period .
Monster by Steppenwolf.
The Pusher.....
Mountain it needed more cowbell.
B tier how bout some Foghat " Slowride" and " Fool for the City"?
Slowride definitely. Well I know a lot of my suggestions haven't been used. But their list is super long from what I understand. I'm just having patience and hopefully they'll get to them.
I’ll never get enough of your channel. When I get notifications, I stop what I’m doing atm to watch and listen, if possible. Love to you and yours guys! Thanks
it's really a treat to watch leslie do what he does. there will never be another one of him. mountain is one of those bands that is actually better live and live it the way you judge a band. like stevie's texas flood live at el mocambo, his flagship accomplishment. man i wish we all could have been there for that. ms queen will live on because it defines true rock and roll and that's what we all want. right?
“Got so much rock their a literal mountain”. One of the best lines I’ve ever heard.
The name actually is reference to the lead guitarist's, Leslie West, size. He was a big ol' boy. Still is I guess.
I think it’s time you guys listen to some Peter Frampton. I suggest “Do you feel like we do”. Its a 14 minute long live banger with some great solos throughout
Not to mention best all time selling live album and Frampton was sick that night and he didn't even know they were doing a live album until afterwards but his vocals with him being sick and almost cancelling the show #Kickass
Agreed!
been suggesting they do this song for a while, he literally makes his guitar talk
@@billz6553 the ol' talk box.. have you seen how it's done?
Make sure to listen to the version from Frampton Comes Alive
Try "Woman" by James Gang . . . or "Funk 49"! We're talkin' Joe Walsh music! As for this group, try "Nantucket Sleighride"!
Or Walk Away by Jame Gang. All Walsh guitar driven songs are worth a check out.
Joe Walsh! Yes! "The Confessor" and you can't overlook "Life's Been Good." He wanted to replace the National Anthem with that one.
I really love "Lost Woman". The arrangement is so interesting.
@@robertreichle1 Agree. Walk Away is a good intro to James Gang. So good.
@@lisaw5604 James Gang Rides Again album got wore out!!!
🦂Scorpions= B tier in public eye
Actually S tier band. Especially their 70's stuff!!
Time for some "We'll burn the sky" live in Japan off of the "Tokyo Tapes" album. DO IT !!
THE SONG WAS WRITTEN BY MONICA DANNAMAN WHO WAS JIMI HEDRIX GIRLFRIEND AND AFTER HE DIED SHE MET ULI JON ROTH (guitarist for Scorpions from 74'-78') AND MARRIED HIM. the song is about Jimi.
MIND BLASTING BANGER🦂🔥🔥🔥🔥🦂
George Tourlos I did not know that! One of my favorite Scorps tunes. My first GF tragically died in a car wreck right after high school and that song ALWAYS makes me think of her. ❤️🤘
@@mayge1234 Sorry to hear that. It makes me very emotional as well. Also i just saw Uli play it front row live in Toronto a cpl years ago and he was crying while mid solo. Kater i saw him backstage and asked him if its because of the death of Monica andvthat song brings back feelings and he laughed and said "no ..i was thinking of my cat that just died"
Saw them open for Uncle Ted back in the day
The crowd would never let Leslie West leave a show alive if he didn't play Mississippi Queen!! An all-time rock classic! And being from 1970, it's one of the first big hits to use a cowbell (Honky Tonk woman, 1969), and 6 years before Blue Oyster Cult used one on Don't Fear the Reaper.
Saw Mountain at Monmouth College West Long Branch NJ several times in early 70's. Brought the house down with Mississippi Queen. RIP Leslie West..
Life's Been Good - Joe Walsh, Aldo Nova -fantasy, Children of the Sun - Billy Thorpe, Edgar Winter -Frankenstein, Foghat-Slow Ride, Manfred Mann's Earth Band-Blinded by the Light, Bad Company - Bad Company, Red Rider-Lunatic Fringe, Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street, The Alan Parsons Project - Sirius, Bachman Turner Overdrive-Taking care of business.
Not bad, not bad at all. Compare to mine elsewhere here.
Billy Thorpe is a must
If you want a banger's banger, try "Bad motor scooter" from the first Montrose album appropriately titled "Montrose" which many consider the best hard rock debut ever. Ronnie Montrose was an incredible guitarist who constantly kept evolving from hard rock guitar hero to one of the finest jazz players ever. He kept surprising listeners right up to his untimely death. Heavy rock fans know this album has Sammy Hagar making his first and only appearance as a vocalist in a band before going solo. Give it a listen. You won't be disappointed.
Rock Candy is a little better imo. Sammy Hagar brings it as well as the Drums and Ronnie's killer playing.
Anything off the Montrose album.
Dude - Sammy was on the 1st 2 Montrose albums; Montrose & Paper Money.
Montrose....Rock Candy....serious rock
@@billnole2188 Any good recommended songs off of Paper Money? I love the first album but haven't checked out PM.
Foghat - Fool For The City; Humble Pie - 30 Days In The Hole
30 Days In The Hole!
@@JohnRJune HUMBLE PIE...... They need to try some Humble Pie!
Leslie West with his trusty Gibson Les Paul Special, loaded with P-90 pickups blazing away! THAT'S how he got that tone!
A+ because of how groundbreaking it was for its time- that must ALWAYS be taken into consideration!
If you’re going to do King Crimson then you must, I repeat, you must give a listen to 21st-century Schizoid Man, the original studio version. Very heavy, especially for it’s time.
Richard Gerson Agreed. Best song on the album in my opinion
I could talk for hours about that album... the jazz influenced drumming, Fripps amazing guitar sounds, Greg Lake's amazing vocals.... I have played that album montly since 1970 MINIMALLY. So bizarre, nearly Renassiance music at times, sometimes Jazzy, sometimes rocking. Love it.
If you want Fripp proto-thrashing, "Baby's On Fire" from the original Brian Eno album, "Here Come The Warm Jets." Believe me, you won't find a bigger head bang than that guitar solo. Not just noise, but noise organized into a melody line!
Fripp did the guitar work on Bowie's song "Heroes." Lots of 'effects' done in the very early days of electronica. Really simple stuff when you look at it, but the finished song, wow.
Good choice! To my memory this is the only “hit” Mountain had. Now listen to Molly Hatchet... either ‘Flirtin with Disaster’ or ‘Dreams I’ll Never See’. Both S tier guaranteed!
Dreams was the Allman brothers 1st and best
Molly Hatchet!!!! Flirtin with Disaster ...excellent request.
Raymond Harris This is one of the rare occasions where I prefer the cover to the original. I know that’s a little sacrilegious considering it’s the Allman Brothers but…
"Monster" was a minor hit.
"fall of the peace makers" is another classic by Molly Hatchet ☮️
"Nantucket Sleighride" is my favorite Mountain. Not as heavy, but way cool lyrics & sound! Thanks for the music, y'all! --don
One of the best rock songs ever !!
The Chicago Transit Authority: "Beginnings". Do yourselves a favor and listen to the whole song real loud! Love Ya!
SuperKiele The drums in “Beginnings” by Chicago are great. They are just basic drumming but listen closely to just the drums through the whole song and you hear what a great drummer can do to keep the back beat. It’s hard to explain something like this but when you feel it you will understand what I’m saying. Only the great drummers know how to do this to a song but make it seem so basic. Another drummer that has this ability is Mick Fleetwood of “Fleetwood Mack”.
“Tush” by ZZTop would be a good follow up tune. Definitely another good road trip tune.
This one is, as they say, a BANGER!
I've been loving this classic since before you two were born. Their song "Never In My Life" is just as good.
Saw Mountain at the Fillmore East about twice. One time my best friend & I got 5th row center, because any closer we would have maybe gotten wet. We were told he spit when he played sometime & definitely sweated a whole lot. He was very large at that time, but could he play that guitar like a madman. The whole band was amazing. Felix Pappalardi was the bass player, but had a rich wonderful voice. Sigh...those were the days, saw most of the bands they review.
Good reaction: I think that your analysis of how a song can be perfect in itself, but still be limited by the artist's ambition is very sound. As to ideas for other songs that fit this type of mold - 3 chords, hit the ground running and never let up, no false notes and not a second longer than they need to be - two come to mind immediately: "Good Lovin'" by The Young Rascals (later, just The Rascals) and "What I Like About You" by The Romantics. Both are pure shots of adrenaline. They don't say anything you haven't heard before but, for 3 minutes or so, you'll forget everything else but the joy of the moment.
Definitely hit up Flirtin with disaster by Molly Hatchett!
As bad as I want you to react to YES Close to the Edge, the next thing you need to listen to is the 1969 live performance of Inside Looking Out by Grand Funk Railroad.
First thing out of your mouths will be "S TIER"
That's a great performance!
Yep, once again I support this recommendation. You will not regret it.
It may be the first thing out of their mouths, but first they're going to have to pick their jaws up off the floor, then they're going to have to try and process what the fuck it was they just saw and what they would have just saw was balls to the wall, unfiltered, raw as hell rock and roll the way rock and roll was meant to be played.
@@umpdaddy1 I'm 57 and i never knew GFR was like this until I saw that video on CZcams. I only knew their later stuff. My brother is 7 years older than me. I sent that video to him.
He said "Ah yaaa the good old days. First album I ever bought was gfr. Was 69. Lol bought it cuz cover art was cool."
So glad that video is on CZcams or I never would've known.
This was the song we played on our float in the homecoming parade. Everyone else had those boring little mellow songs….but not my class. We were/are the coolest class in school in 1974. Little old ladies rule!!!!!!!!
Great song , great album, great band. You GOTTA GOTTA listen to "Theme from an Imaginary Western." Rock songwriting and composition at its rockin' finest, hands down. I saw them live in 74. One of THE best shows I've ever experienced. You thing Leslie West is a good singer? Yes. But wait tilll you hear Felix Pappalardi, the bassist. So awesome.
I did not know who sang this until today.
Loved the song.
Alex meth was not a drug I knew about back then.
Speed, mushrooms, acid, pot- yes!

Lisa Wright, best acid music ever was by Hawkwind - amazing futuristic weird sounds!
Lisa Wright isn’t speed another name for meth? Or is meth speed or steroids? Also, you forgot mescaline......much more mellow than acid...
@@helenespaulding9372 I have no idea. Maybe theres a pharmacist on here that knows
Nazareth - Hair Of The Dog - Changin' Times - Please Don't Judas Me - Miss Misery 💥🔥 and Beggers Day
They were so good! McCafferty w/ his vocals. The band was so tight! Wow. I personally love Please Don't Judas Me. It's not a banger, but more of Pink Floyd trip? Not sure. It's different than all of the other bangers they had.
let's not forget Razamanaz!!!
Doesn't Mountain, an Nazareth go together...like a match and gasoline!
Yessss!
Razzamanazz. Brilliant.
I was 9 when that was released. My sister had the album. She was 14. This was a game changer. I was hooked.
Saw them at Woodstock. Lesley West used to play locally in a band called "The Vagrants" and had a hit with "RESPECT".
My wife’s I-Pad. I have been a fan of Mountain since about 1971. I can still remember listening to this in an 8 track, riding around the hills outside of Hopewell NJ. My buddy Howard (RIP) and me, couple 6 packs, and just doing back roads listening to tunes all night. Good memories. Glad you guys enjoyed it.
