@25pob LoL ! Yes, I stand corrected !! I did find this out later but I couldnt remember where I'd posted this comment !!! The World in Action theme was by Shawn Phillips - called Jam For World In Action - check it out !! ;-))
@1950boots I thought it was World In Action? Its this theme tune that I loved as a child before I even knew the difference between Pop and Rock was. Its not until 30 years later have I realised how much an influence it must of had as 7 years later I was regaulary listening (and taping :-) Radio 1's Friday Rock Show with Tommy Vance and buying my first record, Iron Maiden Live After Dead, and soon after Dio's Last In Line. Never looked back since.Thank you Mountain!
@DioRonnieRJ It was definitely the theme tune for Weekend World. World In Action's was Jam for World in Action and is usually credited to Jonathon Weston, though the American musician Shawn Phillips disputes this. He has posted his claim of authorship on YouTube.
I love this song! And to all of those who would like to politicize this song. The whaling industry did not end by politics, it did not end by the EPA, it ended because they couldn't find any whales in the sea. QED.
@nanieas -Sperm whales were hunted largely for their oil. With the discovery of crude oil whaling, at least in the west, ceased to be a profitable business. Sure, the oceans were certainly depeleted of them as well.
Im looking at whale wars on animal planet hd. Sorry I have no sympaty for Owen or anyone else off the crew. The song is great . I bougth this record vhen it was new in the 70.
@swedaddy ...Ya know...I understand animal lovers and all that, and I don't condone unnecessary cruelty to animals...but...these whalers back then were just trying to earn a living with whatever resources they could. It's not like they could work at your local 7-11.
@swedaddy -I hope you realize how dumb your opinion is on this matter. The tragedy which befell Owen Coffin and the crew of the whaleship Essex, the inspiration for Moby Dick, happened in 1820! Nearly two hundred years ago! You're judging the activities and mores of people two hundred years ago by modern standards. Dumb!!!!1
As the right honourable gentleman Brian Walden appears on screen, that's it, play with my figures upstairs. The music to WW was awesome though! Lovely to hear it properly.
Yes folks, stop sending me messages, I was wrong you were right, you have to forgive me, I was only five when the 1980's started so I wasn't as old as some of you guys. But we can all agree that Nantucket was a neglected masterpiece.
That Mountain were an underrated band and never got the kudos that they deserved.
im now 44 and my father used to crank this music and so many other songs like it. i thank him for my good sence and great taste in music...its funny ive turned him on to my music to which he still listens to....music loved from a father to his son and vise versa...fukn love you pop more than i can say...or show
Emphasis should be placed upon on where the music influence came from....We know it where it came from...And those of us still alive will be a reminder of that fact....
Mountain was one of the more underrated American bands of the 70's.A lot of people thought they where are southern rock band and at times they where but they were not so boogie oriented and didnt always sound southern.
Leslie West is up there with my all time favorite guitarists. He had a spooky style that gave me chills with his every lick. He played from his heart. This is one of my favorite Mountain tunes. I was in a band in 10th grade (1970) That actually did this song. (Not nearly as good as Mountain though : )
I photographed Mountain 41 years ago in Los Angeles at the Great Western Forum. Got some cool shots of Leslie & Felix "duking it out". Have a look by Googling "cacheagency" Once you link to the site, click on Photographers and Collections. Then click on Jeff Allen. Photos are in alphabetical order by performer. Hope you enjoy exploring the over 350 rock photographs from 1968-72 I shot , I'd love your feedback!
Actually just to be pedantic it wasn't World in Action it was Weekend World which was on at lunchtime on a Sunday - with Brian Walden - yes I know I need to get a life lol
When I was a teenager, I barely paid attention to this song. Last week I had a memory wisp of the end of the song, so I started googling the lyrics. Now I remember why I remembered it for 40 years. It is haunting. I am totally obsessed with this song now. I have read everything there is to read about the song, Nantucket whalers, the Essex, etc. I even think I have figured out what some of the more obscure lyrics mean. What a masterpiece.
@pissedupgeoff But this was the Weekend World theme. Stick with it until the solo part in the middle, and you'll recognise it. Listen through to the end where the solo piece is repeated and you'll hear the exact piece that was used for Weekend World.
@MacheteMick . I was taking the piss Mick. Probably pissed when said that comment; can't remember. Brilliant song. Drumming is crap though, similar to Meg White out the White Stripes
Awesome song.Sad theme 'cos it's about whaling Nantucket being the centre of America's whaling industry which drove the Grey Whale to extinction in the North Atlantic in the 18th C.
I was in the U.S. Navy, traveling off the coast of Vietnam when this song hit. What a classic! The fresh ocean air wakes you up in the morning like nothing else. No urine tests back then.....So this song was even better to me. Miss Felix though. Great songwriter and singer.
wowzers when I was a kid this was the U.K. theme to 'weekend world' on a Sunday,
my family used to dive after me as I would turn up the volumn knob and tellme to turn it back down. I though I'd get LP for Xmas but got Shakin' Stevens, I got a guitar, I grew my hair and played Glastonbury festival HeHe!
Mountain was an American version of Cream, which is a major compliment.
They were Cream's sucessors picking up were they left off. I love epic songs like this: PINK FLOYD'S ECHOES, KING CRIMSON, IN THE WAKE OF POSEIDEON.
FAMILY, SCENE THRU THE EYES OF A LENS/ THE WEAVERS ANSWER.
CREAM DESERTED CITIES OF THE HEART.
True works of art. Actually you guys are wrong. Nantucket Sleighride was used as the theme tune for the British current affairs programme: WORLD IN ACTION.
@zakalon123....... hi ya .......it wasn't world in action it was called weekend word ( i know because it used to be on before the football on a sunday .......... top top tune though
@zakalon123 ,hello- as a fellow anorak, you just need to adjust the title of the British current affairs prog to 'Weekend World'.First presenter Peter Jay, second Brian Walden.
World in Action had another keyboard prominent theme tune 'entre' ,probably Keith Emmerson in The Nice.
Its closing credits theme was an acoustic guitar piece, and to my shame, I don't know its title ,composer,or performer.Perhaps you do ?
@pinball1970 Absolutely, Mate. British current affairs shows have always had well-chosen theme music. In fact, I think it'd be great craic to put a cover band together that would play classic show themes in a rock styley! Trouble is, it'd only appeal to a narrow demograph: me! :-)
I think it could be This Week which used the Intermezzo from the Karelia Suite by Sibelius. The Intermezzo from the Karelia Suite is on youtube. The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra's version is a good version.
@zakalon123 yes.. very good comment, cream was a wonderful band, but honestly moutain is a very under rated band, and really leslie west had something extra figured out guitar wise that clapton never got. the power and tone that leslie had on guitar steps all over clapton..
These are the songs I wanna hear on the radio...I'm tired of hearing the same stupid & worthless bands everyday such as...Def Leppard ( can't even spell their name right) Beatles ( nothing new there) Metallica( who's buyin' this shit) & last but not least....The Grateful dead ( only thing good about them is their album cover art )
This song will always will be connected to Felix Pappalardi. It was his greatest composition. It is rock, it is blues. Its the whaling industry. It is art. It is about travel... to a simpler time. A time of peace, love, and the greatest Rock n Roll on earth.
What American artist has dealt with the whaling industry as a theme since Herman Melville wrote Moby Dick? That's what can be great about classic rock, the arty pretensions that work, the attempts by rock musicians to say something beautiful, compelling, worthwhile - e.g., Procol Harum, Pink Floyd, etc etc etc
Only Mountain with Leslie West, Felix and Corky Laing could take very old hornpipe music and turn into some of the best heavy duty rock and roll. Got to see Leslie and Mountain in the 70s It was a religious experience. Thanks guys.
I remember this from Weekend World with Brian Walden in the UK in the 1970s and 1980s. Invariably, it would be the Middle East that he and his guests were discussing...
I loved this album as a teenager back in the late 60's and 70's. I truly think they never got the notoriety they should have had as a band. Great music!
very lyrical for such a heavy band, Richie Blackmore of Deep Purple said that when Mountain came on the seen that nobody could believe it, that they were that heavy.
Great album......PLEASE!!!! Could somebody put "Great Train Robbery" by Mountain on YouTube. I have searched high and low for it. It is on the same album as Nantucket Sleighride.
@k4xs I could put the Great Train Robbery on YT, but, YT would block it.....I have 5,278 songs on itunes that I recorded from all my albums that I purchased 40 or so years ago, so I figure I own the rights to the music. I have Yes' first album and did a vid of "Harold Land", which I own, it was blocked. I even have the copywrite statement posted on my site. Screw 'em, I'm done with trying to explain to YT that I own, bought, and paid for the music I put on YT. Seems others can do it but me.
@sgtdarkness1 Your not the only one, they love to block me worldwide all the time, I think they got some monkey just sitting behind the scene pushing random buttons...
@Mrwufpac LMAO............Well, I would expect it is.......everything on YT seems to be random. But what gets my goat is that I paid money for all the music I have, so I would assume I own it, and can let anybody that I want listen to it, right? It's no different that having friends over to listen to some jams in my living room, except YT makes my living room somewhat larger, right? So why can't I have my YT friends come over to my channel and listen to MY music? Peace to you my friend.
@sgtdarkness1 That would piss me off, I don't own any rights, it's kinda cool having a way to go back in time, but sometimes YT makes it hell. KEEP IT ALIVE MY FRIEND, be safe, PEACE...

@zakalon123 yes.. very good comment, cream was a wonderful band, but honestly moutain is a very under rated band, and really leslie west had something extra figured out guitar wise that clapton never got. the power and tone that leslie had on guitar steps all over clapton..

These are the songs I wanna hear on the radio...I'm tired of hearing the same stupid & worthless bands everyday such as...Def Leppard ( can't even spell their name right) Beatles ( nothing new there) Metallica( who's buyin' this shit) & last but not least....The Grateful dead ( only thing good about them is their album cover art )

This song will always will be connected to Felix Pappalardi. It was his greatest composition. It is rock, it is blues. Its the whaling industry. It is art. It is about travel... to a simpler time. A time of peace, love, and the greatest Rock n Roll on earth.

What American artist has dealt with the whaling industry as a theme since Herman Melville wrote Moby Dick? That's what can be great about classic rock, the arty pretensions that work, the attempts by rock musicians to say something beautiful, compelling, worthwhile - e.g., Procol Harum, Pink Floyd, etc etc etc

Only Mountain with Leslie West, Felix and Corky Laing could take very old hornpipe music and turn into some of the best heavy duty rock and roll. Got to see Leslie and Mountain in the 70s It was a religious experience. Thanks guys.

I remember this from Weekend World with Brian Walden in the UK in the 1970s and 1980s. Invariably, it would be the Middle East that he and his guests were discussing...

I loved this album as a teenager back in the late 60's and 70's. I truly think they never got the notoriety they should have had as a band. Great music!

very lyrical for such a heavy band, Richie Blackmore of Deep Purple said that when Mountain came on the seen that nobody could believe it, that they were that heavy.

Great album......PLEASE!!!! Could somebody put "Great Train Robbery" by Mountain on YouTube. I have searched high and low for it. It is on the same album as Nantucket Sleighride.
k4xs 11 months ago
@k4xs I could put the Great Train Robbery on YT, but, YT would block it.....I have 5,278 songs on itunes that I recorded from all my albums that I purchased 40 or so years ago, so I figure I own the rights to the music. I have Yes' first album and did a vid of "Harold Land", which I own, it was blocked. I even have the copywrite statement posted on my site. Screw 'em, I'm done with trying to explain to YT that I own, bought, and paid for the music I put on YT. Seems others can do it but me.

Mrwufpac 10 months ago
@Mrwufpac LMAO............Well, I would expect it is.......everything on YT seems to be random. But what gets my goat is that I paid money for all the music I have, so I would assume I own it, and can let anybody that I want listen to it, right? It's no different that having friends over to listen to some jams in my living room, except YT makes my living room somewhat larger, right? So why can't I have my YT friends come over to my channel and listen to MY music? Peace to you my friend.
sgtdarkness1 10 months ago
@sgtdarkness1 That would piss me off, I don't own any rights, it's kinda cool having a way to go back in time, but sometimes YT makes it hell. KEEP IT ALIVE MY FRIEND, be safe, PEACE...
