Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Best played loud as hell outside near a roaring fire .......2006-11-23

The cover art on this double live CD captures the intensity of these sessions, which were captured at different venues and in different decades. Original Mountaineers Leslie West on, of course, guitars and vocals, and Corky Laing, as ever, providing drums and vocals are solid throughout and flashy in spots. A pair of bass players, Mark Clarke on disc 1 and Ritchie Scarlet on disc 2 round out the trio. (It's hard not to miss Felix, though.)

The band makes hay with lots of extended romps through classic Mountain songs and a few newer numbers in the mix. Gone are the subtleties that infused the classic versions of tracks such as Theme for an Imaginary Western or Nantucket Sleighride (I always felt keyboardist Steve Knight's contributions to Mountain were overlooked anyway). Here you get bare-knuckled hard tack instead.

The music here captures the spirit of live rock--though there are plenty of lapses in the recording quality--and West, Laing, and friends on bass don't just rehash the old tunes. Still, this double CD is not what most folks will want to spend a couple of hours with in their listening rooms. It is best played loud as hell outside near a roaring fire on a cold night.
