MOUNTAIN is a legendary band that left a huge mark on rock history with Leslie West and Felix Pappalardi standing side by side. This superb soundboard will tell the story of their heyday with quality that exceeds the official quality. This work is permanently preserved as "New York performance on December 31, 1970". It is a stereo soundboard recording recorded at the legendary venue "Fillmore East". Speaking of 1970, it was a golden age when two major masterpieces "CLIMBING!" and "NANTUCKET SLEIGHRIDE" were created in succession. It's a good opportunity, so let's unravel the steps of the peak and approach the position of this work. 1969 Leslie West/Ken Yanick/Norman Landsberg February 28-March 29: US #1 (5 shows) West/Felix Pappalardi/Steve Knight/N.D. Smart July 11-September 11: US #2 (11 shows) WOODSTOCK West/Pappalardi/Knight/Corky Laing September 18-December 27: North America #1 (39 shows) 1970 January 4-14: Production of "CLIMBING!" January 30-August 18: North America #2 (99 shows) CANADIAN FESTIVAL and others August 31-September 9: "NANTUCKET 《NANTUCKET SLEIGHRIDE Production》・September 11th-October 31st: North America #3 (33 shows)《November 2nd-9th: NANTUCKET SLEIGHRIDE Production》・November 10th-14th: North America #4 (4 shows)《November 15th-18th: NANTUCKET SLEIGHRIDE Production》・November 20th-December 31st: North America #5 (19 shows)←★Here★ This is the outline of MOUNTAIN's activities from the start of the band to the end of 1970. It is generally said that MOUNTAIN debuted in July 1969, but that only means that they started in earnest, including Pappalardi. MOUNTAIN's live activities, which began with West's solo album, began in February. Having solidified their golden lineup in September, they produced ``CLIMBING!'' and ``NANTUCKET SLEIGHRIDE'' in parallel with their fierce live activities. Although "NANTUCKET SLEIGHRIDE" was released in 1971, both works had already been completed at the time of this work. Speaking of "1970 Fillmore", it was also an official bootleg, but this work is completely different ... or rather, the live itself is different. Although both are "North America # 5", the official version was "December 28th", while this work was recorded on New Year's Eve, three days later. The show itself is different, but in fact the sound is also far beyond the official one. This work is the best master supervised by overseas researchers, but the "official" mentioned here does not mean the official bootleg "FILLMORE EAST, NEW YORK, NY, 28 DECEMBER 1970" from three days ago. The sound is better than the highly acclaimed excavation "LIVE AT WOODSTOCK" ... or rather, it even surpasses the traditional masterpiece "LIVE: THE ROAD GOES EVER ON"! It's amazing how so many official bootlegs have been unearthed, yet so many records have been overlooked... The history of sound sources is so ironic. The show depicted on such a transcendental soundboard is also transcendental. Despite being about 100 minutes long, the set and performance are intense and even feel "packed" rather than being drawn out. Let's check out the set here. Mountain (8 songs)・Climb to Victory: Never in My Life/Mississippi Queen/Silver Paper/For Yasgur's Farm・Nantucket Sleighride: Don't Look Around (★★)/The Animal Trainer and the Toad/Nantucket Sleighride (To Owen Coffin)/Travellin' in the Dark Others (5 songs)・1st Solo: Baby, I'm Down (★★)/Long Red (★)/Blood of the Sun (★)/Dreams of Milk & Honey・Others: Auld lang syne (★★) *Note: "★" marks are songs that were not included in the official "FILLMORE EAST, NEW YORK 28 DECEMBER 1970". In particular, "★★" marks are songs that were not included in "CANADIAN FESTIVAL EXPRESS 1970" or "OLYMPIC AUDITORIUM, LOS ANGELES, CA 1970". ...And so it is. Not only West's first solo and "CLIMBING!", but also plenty of repertoire from "NANTUCKET SLEIGHRIDE" which was already completed and waiting to be released. Although there is no "Theme for an Imaginary Western", MOUNTAIN's golden age is packed into one stage. Among them, the most valuable is "Auld lang syne" played at the end. It is the so-called "light of the firefly", and West plays it with emotion, and the work closes with the words "Happy new year!!". It is a very rare song that was only recorded on New Year's Eve 1970. MOUNTAIN, where Felix Pappalardi inherited the revolution of CREAM and Leslie West's tears opened the eyes of Michael Schenker and Randy Rhoads. This is a soundboard album where you can enjoy the full show at its peak with superb quality that exceeds the official. An absolute cultural heritage that permanently preserves the greatest moment in rock history. Stereo soundboard recording of the "Fillmore East performance on December 31, 1970". This is a different concert three days after the official bootleg, and the sound of this work is better...or rather, it is a superb soundboard that surpasses even the traditional masterpiece "LIVE: THE ROAD GOES EVER ON". It is about 100 minutes long, and at the same time, the set that condenses West's 1st solo, "CLIMBING!", and "NANTUCKET SLEIGHRIDE" into one show is also special. It is an absolute cultural heritage album in rock history, where you can enjoy "Auld lang syne (firefly light)" only on this day.
