Rip Leslie West & Felix Pappalardi but their legacy lives on. Support those great artists by buying their work and go to their gigs if possible . Recorded live 10-2019 Melle, Germany.
He does ! One of my favorite songs ! Sad I never saw Leslie West together with Corky on stage .But these moments were priceless and glad I recorded them so everyone can enjoy them over and over again .
Yeah. Cool. Long live Leslie. The slowest, heaviest guitarist of them all. His fingers were so fat, that he had to linger on each note very LOONG. That's how he developed that sensitive, bluesy timing...
Sure. Another heavy kicker is "Stormy Monday" from Isle of Wight (I think). In the beginning I didn't catch it, but after a while I realised how beautiful that whole song, or composition, really is. It's absolutely very deep.
A funny note: when Mountain formed in early 1969, they were aiming at playing rock "at the same high level as Free", which was then considered a HQ band. Well, Free was obviously a fantastic group, but perhaps lost some quality when Paul Kossoff went into opium heaven... Free wrote dozens of songs which are classics today, I think, and perhaps Kossoff was the motor of it all...
