5 out of 5 stars Excellent! - Classic!.......2006-11-05

A "must have" for anyone who is remotely interested in progressive rock from the 70's. Side 1 (of the original record) consists of studio recorded tracks; Side 2 is a live recording, commencing with Roll over Beethoven followed by the Dream Sequence. Play the first track and go straight to side 2 - you will not be disappointed.

This CD is the epitomy of classic rock. Very underated. Not only is Leslie West's guiter playing oustanding throughout - it is the overall rhythm and synergy of the band and which ooze forth, that gets your attention. The recording quality of the studio takes are good; the live recording is so so, but is more than made up for, by the quality of the music.

5 out of 5 stars AWESOME!!!!!.......2006-08-15

Mountain may have been the best "live" band I have ever seen, and I've seen Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, and YES. Leslie West, and Felix Pappalardi could rock. FoE shows them at their best. Side one includes a great anti-Vietnam War song "Flowers of Evil" and another classic "Last Kiss." Side two, though is a MONSTER. The "Dream Sequence" is simply the best live music I have ever heard. I've read, and now heard that the "Mountain Live" album almost equals the "Dream Sequence" of FoE. NO WAY. Believe me, buy this cd for side two, you'll be playing for quite awhile.

5 out of 5 stars A Mountain of Pure Rock Emotion.......2006-01-30

The opening track "Flowers of evil," is an up beat, good feeling song with lots of emotion and great hooks. "Kings Chorale," "One Last Cold Kiss," and "Pride and Passion" are on the more downside of the spectrum, they are not really what I call sad, but of a downside of emotion. "Crossroader," is actually a groovey song and is probably my favorite. There are also 2 live cuts, "Dream Sequence," and "Mississippi Queen," that totally ROCK. If you are into good solid hard rock with emotion...BUY THIS RECORD

5 out of 5 stars Go immediately to "Dream Sequence".......2005-08-01

and hear how a live rock and roll band should sound! This original "B" side of the LP was taken from a concert Mountain did the last night of the Fillmore. The entire concert is available on a bootleg called, interestingly, "Closing the Fillmore". The part available on this CD comes from the middle of the concert, just after Felix pappalardi says, "Let me introduce you to....Leslie West". The CD picks up right after that.
Leslie West has a massive guitar tone. In the intro he smashes power chords, lets them drone on, then does the finger touch thing, without a pick. The notes sound like they are coming from a violin. Then, more chords, finally followed by about 60 seconds of feedback, gradually exploding into "Roll Over Beethoven." Felix Pappalardi and Corky Lang are outstanding musicians, and as they finally kick into the song it is like, well, an explosion. The two of them are as good a rhythm section as Rock n Roll has produced. The song scorches along for awhile, with Leslie West finally doing the guitar flash thing at the end, all alone, playing the absolute dog out of that guitar.
"Dreams of Milk and Honey" follows, and the band is just tight, tight, tight, obviously feeling it, making the most out of an obviously good night for them. After "Dreams" ends there is an extended high speed jam, including one section where Felix and Leslie play call and response. It is riveting, the two just thrashing their instruments, having fun. But, through it all, the thunder of Corky Laing makes it very clear the drummer is the man in charge. They speed up when he does, slow down with him, extend the song when he changes patterns. The band finally jams on a section from "One Last Cold Kiss", and the onslaught finally ends.

A live version of "Mississippi Queen", not from the Fillmore concert, finishes the side. About as good and tight a live recording as you will ever hear.

The studio side has the usual Mountain selection of hard, tough Leslie West rockers, rough voice and all (Flowers of Evil), and the gentler, more lush Felix Pappalardi numbers (One Last Cold Kiss, Pride and Passion). Good stuff, standard Mountain, great musicianship, but the jewel on this disc is the live recordings. It is way, WAY better than other live offerings from this band. It is just a shame the entire concert wasn't included, it was ALL good!

5 out of 5 stars Hard Rock at it's best.......2005-02-09

The Great Fatsby is not fat anymore--but he's still Great. Catch him on tour this year. This LP/CD showcases Leslie West. He had/has the best hard rock voice in the business. His guitar playing was/is impeccable. A true master from a by-gone period exploding with musical talent. Every cut on the record is good. Something rare now days, but pretty much status quo back in the late 60's & early 70's. Buy it for nostalgia's sake, enjoy it for what it is: pure sublime effort.
