Big Brother and The Holding Companys rendition of the classic piece by Edvard Hagerup Grieg (1843-1907).
http://youtube.com/watch?v=fzyi3C4gNnE
The piece is a part of the approximately ninety minuttes incidental music from Henrik Ibsens (1828-1906) play "Peer Gynt" (1876). The sequence illustrated by the music of In the Hall of the Mountain King is when Peer sneaks into the Mountain King's castle. The piece then describes Peer's attempts to escape from the King and his trolls after having insulted his daughter.

@cockardo I kinda like Gurleys avant garde feedback laden playing here but I do love Andrews eastern influenced playing. These guy were probably high as hell when they did this and a lot of the time their playin' was really sloppy but hey it all fits really well
-
Personally prefer Andrews' playing style, but Gurley's is definitely more innovative.

Why do some people live in the mountains? Because they were forced off their land by violent robber barons.

555didi. if you're still here, this song is a classic from Edvard Greig.it's part of a symphony from the 1800's. look it up, it's amazing, not ironic. big brother before Janis became the sole featured part of the band

@salforddude You are better off anyway...the last chance we had of lab grade lysergic acid 25 was some time in the mid 60's. You got a known weight, from reliable source, gel caps. Anything from 500-1250 mics. AND no worries that it was bad shit.
