#Mountain - live in 1970, "Mississippi Queen" & "Theme from an Imaginary Western."
Leslie West plants his feet in one spot and commands the stage with concise lead guitar and thunderous vocals. Felix Pappalardi provides a mellower counterpoint as Corky Laing drums like the unsung powerhouse he was. Steve Knight looks almost bookish by contrast, but his keyboard lines fit right in. Mountain belongs up there with Cream, Free, Zeppelin and the other greats of that era.
