Mountain - Roll Over Beethoven

Mountain perfoming Roll Over Beethoven from the 1971 LP Flowers Of Evil.I believe,until these days,that this is,to my opinion,the best cover of this Chuck Berry's song.Over 35 years i have heard too many bands and so many guitar players but this cover is an amazing tribute to rock'n'roll from a hard rock band like Mountain.Leslie West was at that time,and in this particular live album,out of his limits on guitar.Felix Pappalardi on bass just knock'em all down by his unique bass sound.If you ever listen the whole LP you'll understand what i'm saying.Respect to those that made music history.Enjoy !!!
PS:Hoped to found some video from this historical moment but it was impossible.So enjoy only the sound of Mountain.This clip goes to all of you,to all lovers of guitar playing and to the new ages to learn something for big bands that left some treasures behind.

Without a doubt,the best version of Roll Over Beethoven i have ever heard! I totally agree with tsatswiz comments. In my opinion when it comes to playing live,Mountain in their prime was just unbelievable! Flowers Of Evil was a perfect example! Felix's unreal fuzz bass playing was incredible! He had some much talent all around! Leslie was ripping it up! Got to love Corky on those drums. And you can hear Steve Knight doing a number on those keys! Thanks alot for a real treat tsatswiz!

One of the best and most influential Hard rock live tracks I have ever heard - and at 58 years of age boy have I heard zillions.

This track still makes me want to laugh and cry at the sametime.

On par with early Johnny Winter Live.

Stufuckinpendous!!

Unreal guitar intro. Leslie plays delicate notes then slams G and D chords thru full volume amp stacks, with fat tone from his L.P. Junior. Leslie is a master of well placed notes, who beats Malmsteen and other flash guitarists hands down. Yet, Leslie's playing is deceptive. His leads are simple, like B.B. King, but try to play like B.B. - it's not that easy. Leslie's playing is the same, all the right notes are there and none that shouldn't be there. That's the hallmark of a great player.

This is an excellent cover, but I could have done without the minute-and-a-half bullshit intro. Thank God for the Ramones.
