Mission Mountain Wood Band-Take a Whiff On Me

[toocheaptobuyatripod]

Sweet! I have this on vinyl & CD. A great album.

[MrBallzdeep2010]

sorry about the dislike I just couldn't resist. All that green in the bar just needed a sliver of red. I'm not saying I dislike just had to be that guy!

[Arctodon]

M2WB that is all.



[milascave2]

A lot of the old cocaine songs have the line "cocaine is for horses not for men."

Why? did somebody used to give horses coke?

[feralfriend420]

@milascave2 yea and its still used to make em run, sick practice I know.

[halburg3]

I remember Mission Mountain at the Dry Creek Reunion, in Red Lodge, around 1980 or so. What a party that was.

[salkoni]

Regards from Serbia! This song is great, from "Hells Angels Forever" movie,long time ago...

[ThorogoodFan1]

@salkoni All the songs in Hells Angels Forever are great! I like the Johnny Paycheck songs, especially "Too Bent to Boogie."

Also that song with the woman singing in her house with the three other guys! That song rocks!

[SpinNglo55]

Loved Mission Mountain! I've been looking for the song "In Without Knocking" off this album. If you have it could you please post it too. Thank You! "Pride of Montana"

[ChuckieInMT]

Great post! Yep, they're still doin' good -n- getting ready to tour this summer -n- practicing down in Dayton at the Hog Heaven Cattle Company. If anyone knows where Rob Quist and the guys could get an old Grayhound Vista Cruiser bus, they'd really like to hear about it. In the meantime, everybody, Take A Whiff On Me...

[tbear7672]

I loved to hear them play at Aber Day out at Miller Creek-they were great!

On the album cover isn't that the old Hoffman Saloon in Stanford MT, from the Charlie Russell painting? Great music-even better memories of all the old gang! I miss the "golden Montana of my youth"...great music!

[stephhas5]

Let me clear up the incorrect info from koolbreez55; all of the original M2WB members are still alive and playing together, except for Terry Robinson (who was my uncle) and Kurt Bergeron, who died in a plane crash on July 4, 1987, with the rest of their band, The Montana Band. I sure wish people would have their facts straight before commenting.......

[LeissaW]

Dear Koolbreez55 - don't speak of what you don't know.

[koolbreez55]

Just to clear up some things. The only original member still playing is the bass player. The rest died in a plane crash in 1979.

[LeissaW]

@koolbreez55 Dear Koolbreez55 - don't speak of what you don't know.

[stephhas5]

@koolbreez55 you are completely off on your facts.....all members of the original M2WB are still alive and well and playing together, except for Terry Robinson (who was my uncle) and Kurt Burgeron, who were killed in a plane crash on July 4, 1987, with the rest of The Montana Band. Please have facts straight when commenting on something like that - thank you.

[jdl22000]

@stephhas5 i have what i think might be photos of the Montana Band but am not 100% i took them at the Black canyon Music festival in 1982. not the best photos but if i were to post them somewheres would you be able to let me know if that is whom it might be...if you have a facebook page let me know and i can send them to you or post on my page....thanks jdl2_2000 @  yahoo dot c

[kdaviper]

this song's a blues song originally, right?

[rowdi907]

I saw MMB play this live in 1979. Ithought it was just my imagination that they played so well. Great to hear again 30 years later.

[KingProgdor]

Welcome, all. =)

Really glad this video had this effect. Good to know the spirit of this band is still alive in the hearts of the fans!

[SkylarkStudios]

Fiddle solo at 2:21 IS EEEPPPIIIIICCCC!!!!!!!!

[Mogtepyigsoloth]

If you have this, post it!

MORNING RED!

[bigcmcg1]

@Mogtepyigsoloth I heard this awsome tune over 20 years ago watching hells angels forever, didn't know the band until youtube, and went 20 years without hearing it. This rocks!! So happy to hear it again. I'm 37 and played it for my 23 year old sister christmas eve. She played it 4 times back to back christmas morning!!!! Thanks kingprogdor.

[LentilWk13]

@bigcmcg1 That's an awesome live version they do on the Hell's Angels Forever movie. One of my favorite highlights of the film (especially when some of the bikers start jumping off the ship!)

[bigcmcg1]

@LentilWk13 Yeah, they were really getting into it (it's funny how some music gets you going). I'm a metalhead but some old country or bluegrass really gets me off ! BTW I checked out your channel ... Good Stuff!

[tiemanamd]

have the record, ..for sale.

[cockling]

SAW THESE GUYS AT THE RED RAIL IN NANUET NEW YORK 2X'S AND 1X AT NOBODYS INN IN MAHWAH NEW JERSEY. AND BOY CAN THEY MAKE YOUR FEET STOMP AND HOLLAR YEEEEEHHHAAAAWWWWW.. HAD NO CLUE THE REMAINING MEMBERS KEPT IT GOING. COM'ON BACK TO NEW YORK BOYS HAVE A GANG OF FOOT STOMPERS WAITING FOR YA..

[integgrity]

I got to see the guys back in the early 80s at the Ozmo Boogie in (of all places) Athol, Idaho- and out door rain soaked mini- Woodstock event at a tiny little airport. They played on the bed of a couple of flatbed trailers. Incredibly amazing and super fun band. Also got to see them later on at the Palomino Club down in L.A. I can still see Kurt's yellow Strat, and Rob Quist tapping his foot with one hip bouncing as he strummed along. More than that I remember smiles! on everybody's face. Thx

[1deepstar]

I saw them in Missoula and at the various keggars also... fun times. Uof M in the 70s wa a pretty cool place. Hang gliders coming off the mountain, nights at the Trading Post and the LIbrary (bar)... other nights in Dunaway hall and the student union with all the great plants. We used to wear our EBs and practice traversing the rock walls on the first floor.

Man, I think I smoked half of Columbia...partied hard and it was so fun...

[Mogtepyigsoloth]

I saw them in the Sentinel HS gym/ auditorium in Missoula as a student, and at the Arbor Day keggers a couple of times. I still have an old Tshirt in the closet I bought with their logo on it too.

It's more a rag than a shirt..... LOL

I still consider them to be one of the best bluegrass bands I've ever heard. In Without Knocking -- one of my most treasured albums, scratches and all.

[MTCatman]

Great band! Thanks for posting!

[spudco06]

The first time I saw them was at a joint in Long Valley NJ called Tarantula. I think it was in 75 or 76. They were crashing at a farm down the road. It was a great party. A real shame about the plane crash. I read about it in the NY Times when it happened.

[eddiebuggersmom]

I loved the Mission Mountain Wood Band -- I was sad to see Terry & Kurt die in the plane crash. I was lucky enough to get to see them in concert before they died. You should post more from "In Without Knocking" -- like Mountain Standard Time. Thanks for sharing!

[AMontanaYankee]

Is that a pronghorn snort in the beginning... ; ) Either way, it'd be nice to hear & see more of these guys.
