This is the best Mountain bootleg I have, and probably the best Mountain live performance in terms of musicianship. Leslie, Felix and Corky with addition of David Perry on rythm guitar, kick ass on this one.

I have no idea why was the drum solo added to this CD besides to make it longer. Drum solo is from Fillmore east 1970, and the sound is horrible.
But the rest of CD is fantastic. This is much better than 1973 at the same venue.

Best Live Version of "Nantucket Sleigh Ride" makes it worth the price. Then there's "Jingle Bells"? I was thinking yeah right until I listen too it and wow, Christmas music a rocker can dig, short and very tasty. It leads into "Get Out Of My Life WOMEN". Another outstanding rocker that alone is worth the price of the CD. There is not one clunker on the disk and "Mississippi Queen" live is outstanding. Only negative is someone forgot to plug in their guitar or was poorly mixed for the first half of "Its for You" leaving us to wonder how much greater that tune would be if someone wasn't asleep at the wheel. Sound quality is very good considering this was recorded long ago, probably on a two channel reel to reel. ENJOY and PLAY IT LOUD!
