Our Take

Step aside, millennials, it's time to take a trip back to 1985 with Mountain's live album, recorded at The Ritz in New York. This legendary band brought their A-game to the stage, delivering a performance that was as electrifying as a lightning strike.

The energy is palpable from the get-go, with Leslie West's guitar riffs cutting through the air like a hot knife through butter. He's a true virtuoso, shredding with the precision of a surgeon and the passion of a rock god.

But let's not forget about drummer extraordinaire Corky Laing, whose thunderous beats keep the rhythm driving forward like a runaway train. And let's not overlook bassist Mark Clarke, who provides a solid foundation for the band to build upon.

Tracks like "Mississippi Queen" and "Never in My Life" are performed with a raw, unfiltered energy that is simply infectious. The crowd can't help but get swept up in the rock 'n' roll frenzy, dancing and headbanging like there's no tomorrow.

Overall, Mountain's performance at The Ritz in 1985 is a true testament to the power of live music. It's a time capsule of a bygone era, when rock ruled the airwaves and concerts were the stuff of legend. So put on your leather jacket, crank up the volume, and get ready to be transported back in time.

About the artist

Mountain

Ah, Mountain – the enigmatic musical powerhouse that has been rocking stages and melting faces since the dawn of time (well, at least since the late ‘60s). With their unique blend of hard rock, blues, and psychedelic influences, this band has carved out a niche for themselves in the annals of music history. Fronted by the legendary guitarist Leslie West, Mountain burst onto the scene with their debut album “Climbing!” in 1970. Packed with blistering riffs, soulful vocals, and epic jams, it’s no wonder this record is considered a classic of the genre. But Mountain is more than just a nostalgic trip down memory lane – they’re still out there, touring and recording new music to this day. Their live shows are a sight to behold, with West’s towering presence and powerhouse vocals still commanding the stage after all these years. With hits like “Mississippi Queen” and “Theme for an Imaginary Western” under their belt, Mountain have proven themselves to be true masters of the rock genre. Their music is a testament to the power of a well-crafted riff and a killer hook, and their influence can be heard in countless bands that have come after them. So if you’re looking for a band that knows how to bring the thunder and leave you in awe, look no further than Mountain. These rock legends are still going strong, and their music is as potent as ever. Put on some Mountain, turn it up to 11, and prepare to be blown away.
