Leslie West
Only just learnt the sad news that Rock Legend Leslie West died on Dec 23rd 2020. NSC'ers of a certain age will remember him from the bands 'Mountain' and 'West Bruce & Lang', he was larger than life in many respects, but I will remember him as a brilliant guitarist and singer. He suffered with ill health for a lot of his life, he lost a leg to diabetes , overcame cancer as well as alcohol and drug addictions, but, as you will see below, he still kept on pumping out hard assed rock right to the end.
Posting 4 vids (got credit from missing loads of days over the last couple of months) plus I thought Leslie deserved it.

RIP Leslie and thanks for the memories.

This was 7 years ago in concert with Peter Frampton, not long after Leslie's leg had been amputated!



The original version.



My favourite Mountain track.




Live in 2003

I totall missed thes in the late 80s; but they are a band out of time. My little brother discovered them for me. Sends shivers up the spine.

Edit: just found this live recording :love:
