Leslie West - Theme For An Imaginary Western LIVE - Night of the Guitars 1989 REMASTERED 

Rest in peace Leslie. You personified rock'n'roll brother.

My heart is heavy, sad and broken. Today the World lost a talented musician, one of the great guitarists; Leslie West. Many will not recognise the name, but there are thousands that will. Leslie West was the guitarist with Mountain, a major heavy rock band from the US and considered forerunners of heavy metal. He worked together with a number of other famous musicians, a true talent. RIP Leslie West and thanks for the muzak!

In my opinion, Moutain was a very underrated band musically. Each original member had SO VERY much to offer and did so with very little recognition and credit. Rip Felix and Leslie. We miss you guys. Rock on in heaven. .!

The solos on the studio version are two of the most perfect guitar solos ever.

RIP Leslie West. Today I'll only play my Les Paul Jr. in tribute.

I can't listen to this song anymore without bawling my eyes out. RIP Leslie West, the greatest of all time.

Leslie was amazing. People forget how great a voice he had. His guitar playing was just beautiful. Nothing like it. To this day I love to hear his music. Crazy thing is that he thought he wasn't much of a guitar player. Jeez.

Rock in Peace Leslie. He really tore it up in this song, effortless and with feeling you rarely hear today.

R.i.P. Leslie. Another legend is gone. This is just so sad..Such a pioneer. Brilliant song...

Yeah what a Nantucket sleigh ride he took me on!!

Let the man play it one more time...

Leslie, the Greatest! Rock in Peace Man!

Leslie was a fantastic guitarist. There was so much raw, genuine emotion in his playing, as well as his equally awesome voice. I was so sad to learn of his death, but his wonderful music lives on and on forever. I have always loved this song ever since I first heard it in 1969 or '70---and I always will continue to love it for the rest of my days. RIP, Leslie.✌

Virtuoso guitar playing from Leslie West, one of the very best ever.

Leslie West " is " the best guitarist I have ever heard in my entire life . :) QC

I do miss seeing and speaking with him. He doesn't get to Atlanta anymore. Truly one of the greatest guitarists that ever lived. Hope all is well with him he did have it rough for many years. Doc Lonny

LESLIE MAKES THAT GUITAR 🎸 SCREAM ❤❤. JUST TOOOO FANTASTIC ❤❤ RIH SIR YOU WERE ONE OF THE BEST KIND 😅😅

I'm thankfull I got to see him do this song twice in 2006

One Internet news tells nightmare in 24 Dec in Japan. Leslie...we miss you and don't forget your music and your originally guitar tone forever!!!! god bless Mr.Leslie West.

Can't believe you left us so soon ,,Les..You will rock on in Heaven with the Great House Band In The Sky,,, Theres a Golden Les Paul Jr. with a P-90 pickup just waiting for you,,,

Theme from Imaginary Western is beautiful. Leslie West was an incredible guitar player. The music of this era was and remains the best in history. Truly a gift to mankind.

L.WEST ,FANTASTIC,ONE OF THE BEST GUITARIST ,EVER, AWESOME.😎🎸🔊🎶☮️ BOB.

This is a real treat, seeing a live version from back then, and when I say back then, this is the only Mountain song my friends and I jammed to, and I always was the singer. This sounds like the original album, when the two videos I just left behind had horribly distorted guitars from the start. When you plug an electric guitar into an amplifier in a room, especially a Marshall with effects, you don't know what's going to make that beautiful sound until you turn it up loud, and Leslie West always knew how to get there, up loud and proud.

Twas in the 10th grade at Glencliff high school in Nashville. Me and my friend saw Mountain on Tuesday (Thursday?) at Vanderbilt and the Allman Brothers on Thursday at MTSU gym in Murfreesboro. West's guitar had such incredible sustain!!!

One of the greatest guitarists of all time, awesome.

Wed had virus shot 💉 still Leslie music 🎶 gives goose bumps.Above medicine .😷❤️

Guitar god, great human being. Thank you Leslie.

THE BEST OF THE WEST! REST IN PEACE LESLIE

Rest in peace sir we will miss you

Loved that guy....rip shalom

I was lucky enough to see Mountain at One worth '85. I'd first heard of them through the use of part of Nantucket Sleighride as the theme music to a Sunday UK current affairs program called Weekend World.

Lovin the big mans vocals

Leslie West R.I.P. :( QC

The decade of the tiny guitar. You gotta love it!!! I prefer the Les Paul jr. But either way he is awesome.☺☺☺

He was coked out of his mind 😳and he still killed it...

Simply Fantástic this Song 🎵🎼🎶🎸😎👊 Félix Pappalardi r.i.p 🎵🎼🎶🎸😎👊 Steve Knight r.i.p 🎵🎼🎶🎹😎👊

I was in high school when I became a die hard Mountain Fan (1972) I had the privilege to see them Live in 1974 at McDonough Arena at Georgetown university. When they started their show they played "Whole Lotta Shakin," Goin'ON . JUST LIKE their Live Album with the first Track they played "Roll Over Beethoven "^

I saw him at the Bristol gig doing this it was mind blowing to see live and something i shall never forget R I P Leslie you were amazing!

LE VERE EMOZIINI TRASMESSE TRAMITE UNA SPLENDIDA BALLAD E UN SOLO FANTASTICO EMOLTO MELODICO. GRANDE L W QUESTA È VERA MUSICA

what a treat to see! Leslie always had such great guitar tone,tasty playing and the best players with him!

Absolutely amazing version of this song....love it thank you

In lovely memory.

3:00 am a little Leslie to put life in prospective .Such emotional.I started . Listened. To his short time.💕🇺🇲🔥

Why does Leslie play "Theme....."? Chicks dig it !!

I started playing the guitar because of West and Winter many years ago. I am sad now really woe because both have passed away. RIP Leslie.

All the proof you need . RIP Leslie West

Good one once again Depp. You do us yet another great public service in your memorialization of the Great Fat One. Rock on bro. West is the best guitarist I have ever heard in my entire life. Hell, best musician, period. I have heard him do incredible shit ...

What a real rockn' roller this guy was, thanks for the music.

Leslie could be so sweet.

Thanks for video!!

there is so much feeling in Leslie's guitar playing. Love this !

One of the best rock bands ever, Lesliewas a great guitarist with a unique sound, RIP to Mountain !!!

I always thought Clint Eastwood should have used this song in one of his movies, Pale Rider comes to mind.

RIP Leslie guitar legend

After performance . Confident.He walks away leaving us wonder.History in making.🛑

Very nice video, Depper. Thanks for your time and effort in putting this together. It is incredible that Leslie gets a great tone regardless of the guitar.

That tone! 💯 🔥

Leslie will live for ever!

Ohhhh!!!!!!!!

leslie west does not appear in the woodstock movie as johnny winter, janis joplin, and credence but that does not take away from him how great he is was and will be, forever will live in our hearts

IT hurts every time one leaves this world ,that was so much part of you for 50 years. I have been playing 55 years you could let me hear a cow bell without LESLIE WEST banging into your brain it just don't stop not in my life. Its something deeply rooted in his riffs that's in my heart and fingers. Leslie West 1971 was in phila. he started playing Mississippi Queen I took a photo of him 8ft away a great photo I always wanted to show him this photo and get him to autograph it never happen . I know now I did not try hard enough . One more thing Leslie in 1971 had a flying V guitar I was 16 and I bought one today it is in great shape 2021 it will be 50 years old and is worth some big $$$ going to sell so I would not of had that guitar if not for Leslie it is a 1971 GIBSON MEDALLION # 7 gold seal engraved into the guitar .So whatever time I have left in the world I will always feel this was meant to be.

Thank you for the nice file; God bless you!

Leslie is the best, just listen to 1970 version then 1989 sounds like 2 different guitarist both Masterpiece guitar .. Gotta love em both.

Totally mind blowing 😎⚡️

The big man class act allways

It has that effect on you I know you mean I was probably 10 11 12 years old there's something mystical about that song can't describe it

GO FOR YOUR LIFE !!! ...r.i.p. Leslie & felix .

He had a fantastic voice as well

Flowers of Evil....il miglior disco di sempre

adios leslie, un abrazo en la distancia!!!!

R.I.P. dear Leslie

I like the comments along with the music.

​@UCGEJnOMfkpVL68qGV-y1RYA​ RIP Leslie. You were the Best! Glad I got to see you at least once...and, that was about three feet in front of the stage in Little Rock. I guess you brought big rock to Little Rock. You are a legend. Thanks for the imaginery westernly beautiful music, to botn you and Felix..."Sometimes they found it. Sometimes they kept it. Often lost it, along the way. Fought each other, to possess it. Sometimes died, in sight of day..."

ギターの音がきれい､レズリーうまいなぁ😋

Simply Fantástic this Song 🎵🎼🎶🎸😎👊 Félix Pappalardi r.i.p 🎵🎼🎶🎸😎👊 Steve Knight r.i.p 🎵🎼🎶🎹😎👊 Leslie "fuck "West long live 🎸😎👊

Ich liebe Lesli West, ikl Mountain und West, Bruce & Laing.

Les had a few before this one.....don't matter, RIP.

Had tickets for this show at the Palladium. They wound up canceling it

smoke 🌬

It quite Ironic that at least 3 Bass Players have Sung this complicated Vocal: Jack Bruce wuth Cream (Jack co-wrote Song, but Cream didn't play song a lot), Fekix with Mountain and this Bass Player.

Rest um paece frio.brasil.souza.abc.sp 2021.

A true god much aloha

3:51 GUITAR SOLO

Leslie looks like a big version of Lou Reed

You have to hand it to the Steinberger here- the tone is legit.

...no..non sapevo nella TV italiana...!!!

Tocava muito!

Best shit ever

good..........................

A god

Parecia um urso. Essa música o Mountain tocou em Woodstock.

FANTASTIK Leslie ! .... too bad those clowns at the end tried to scrap it. He was a great guitar player, one of the very best.

that 's so funny. the well dressed babes, looking like they were imported from England from the "Addicted to Love" video. A staged set piece. Stuck in front row by the producers. the first time i watch this i had a weird feeling watching them. something totally fake about it all. and now i see at the end---- "pronto! pronto! NOW NOW go onto stage and make sexy movings and faces to Leslie West! si si! okay ! Basta! enough!" hilarious, reminds me of SNL Vinny Vedeci. Maybe they got Vinny to produce and direct this show.

Giterdone Depper!!

I knew it from the first chord.

Grande Leslie porco D**!

Corky Laing is the only one left.

biig eyes..
