This was another band that kicked ass back in the day. Mountain was formed in Long Island (1969) by vocalist Leslie West, bassist Felix Pappalardi, keyboardist Steve Knight and drummer N.D. Smart. That same year they played Woodstock and many say they were the original inspiration for Heavy Metal. Their top rocker was «Mississippi Queen«. I don’t know if they were the first exponents of Heavy Metal or not, but what I do know is that they certainly influenced groups like Deep Purple and Black Sabbath. Felix Pappalardi passed away in 1983 and Steve Knight in 2013. The band remained active until 2010.
So, take a listen and tell me what you think…

Leslie West was a gem on stage. The raw power they showed in concert made them a top notch band.

It must have been quite a show. I never saw them in concert but I did love their raw power and the riffs of the guitar. A great band!
