How blessed we were to grow up in the ROCK 'n ROLL renaissance.

There’s a word we used to use for music like this: HEAVY. I saw Frampton when he was with Humble Pie, they were the opening act for Grand Funk Railroad. My first concert.

Helluva a concert for your first. Lucky duck!

Holy s**t this version kicks ass. This song is the answer to whatever b.s. is passed off as music these days. It’s my duty to make sure my kids hear the greatness from the past, and they love it!

Definetly!!!

Had the pleasure of meeting Leslie and the band not once but twice. He did not disappoint

Peter can’t hold back how happy he is to be up there with Leslie.

The year 1970 would not even exist without this tune

West had booming vocals and this was one of the very best rock songs of the 70s. If you watch Frampton closely his body language and movements are just like they were in the 70s. Gotta love two "old" rockers jamming together. There is no age limit on having fun!

Yes, we are getting old. We just have to sit down and play nowdays. It's better than ever now, but nobody really shows up for the small one hour shows anymore..or even know who we are. It's ok though. We were the seeds of the rock tree. And our doctors told us to quit drinking so much. Oh well. Maybe one less bottle of Jack Daniels.

What a monster fucking song. Leslie’s vibrato is just incredible on that riff.

No words needed...R.I.P. LESLIE...One of the best versions ever heard...and got to be heard extremely loud...

Nothing better than straight forward rock and roll, Leslie was a force of nature. Him and Frampton are having a blast here.

Oh my God!!!! So glad I found this. Mountain live at Legion Field in Birmingham, AL 1971 was my first rock concert. I was 18, fresh outta high school and living away from home for the first time. Got stoned, drunk, and became a forever fan of Leslie West. RIP old buddy.

Two guitar legends! The King of Tone could rock the house even when in a wheelchair !!!!

I remember this song when I was in Junior High School.

West's voice will never be forgettable. This is great. I've never heard it before

Leslie was one of the Greatest Guitar Players Ever!!! 🏆

Growing up in the seventies you didn't have much access to heavy stuff as we called it back then (metal , thrash, hard rock , limeoed blues ) it was all word of mouth, and the talk always got around to Leslie West , a mountain of sound , rip big man ...

I saw Leslie with Jack Bruce and corky Lang I'm very thankful that I got to see that I was about 10 ft from them a good show Johnny Winter was also there good music I miss all of it be peaceful

There's an interview with Ed King somewhere on youtube where he talks about his Stat sound contrasting with yet complimenting the "dirty" sound of the Les Pauls played by the others in Skynyrd. Someone once told me anyone can be a rock and roll star if they just take ten minutes to learn how to play the "E" rock and roll scale really loud on a Les Paul. You can take that one for what's it worth!

This song has one of the best grooves of ANY SONG EVAH!!!!!

He have the same voice of the 60s,awesome

After all this time it still sounds Great love both these guys

I took my moms new lincoln, 2 hrs drive, to take my new strawberry blond girlfriend I met at the beach, to see Mountain at Duke 1970. I was 16, she was 15. She hated it immediatly and wanted to leave, as I didnt know she was into country , but made her stay anyway. I got her home about 1 am , her dad was in the yard with his shotgun, but she told him I was OK.. Our first, and last date. Mountain killed

That was spectacular...thanks for posting this snapshot in time...hope you and yours are well!

Amazing how he could play the fewest notes to get the point across. I wish others would do the same.

Never heard a live version, still got the voice absolutely awesome

Seems my face has melted, Play it again 🎸👑

One of rocks great songs.

Legends!!

After all these years I want to meet this lady!!!!!!

Wow 😮 what a great version with peter Frampton 👌👌👍👍🥁🥁🥁🥁

I saw Leslie West once. Unfortunately not with Mountain. He played with BTO on a tour when they opened for John Cougar Mellencamp. I guess around 1988

This gave me chills.

This is just pure bad ass.

Leslie still belting it out!!!!!! R.I.P.

God, I'm glad I found this version. I'm a huge fan of the original, but this just kicks some MAJOR @ss!

What a badass coupla rock'n rollers. Yaz. That's the stuff.

Great rendition. Humble Pie's I Don't Need No Doctor was a similar rocker. Leslie's tone was the something his friend Martin Barre picked up on when Jethro Tull toured with Mountain. Martin is another under-rated guitarist. Still rocking with his own group.

Great performance! Thanks for sharing this

Great jam on an epic tune. That said, West's introduction one of the greatest and funniest( he would have been a great stand up comic in addition to legendary guitar player) and Frampton's punchline has professionals far and wide clapping and hooting it up. Ta da.
