Thanks depper! That's awesome! Thinking that the fat boy with his wry grin would become a top act in Woodstock only five years later - Jeez!

Since everyone here is a fan, maybe someone can help me with a 22 year old dilemma. I was stationed in Japan back in '90 and saw a laser disc of West playing against a white backdrop. The song did nothing for me, but the solo at the end of the song was THE BEST I"VE EVER HEARD!
I asked the store owner if he could play it back. He said no. Does anyone know which concert/performance this was?

@depper What kind of guitar is West playing here? 12 string? ?

If Leslie West or Mountain isn't in the rock-n-roll hall of fame somebody needs to be hung out and dried for the vultures to pick apart,seeing as Leslie could pick apart a guitar.Pun wasn't intended until I realized it .LOL!

This movie is more like from '66 or '67 not '64. Thanks for posting though. Poor Leslie, he must have felt so self-conscious in those duds!

Bella, Bellzouki 12 string by Vincent Bell for Danelectro

Leslie West, Steve Winwood, Carole King--any other examples--starting to cook up something in their late teens, although West wouldn't enter the spotlight for several more years.

@depper Holy shut depper! This is huge! And so is Leslie. These guys were so freggin great years ahead of their time! In fact I have to compare this band to mid to late 70's punk

Too good Dep!!
Listening to this again, I find it stunning that anyone 19 would care this much for tone. And the tone sends chills down my spine every time I listen to that solo.
Leslie was a rare breed. The best guitar tone man. He belongs in the R&R Hall of Fame for no other reason.

Rotflmao - Yeah I'm sure to get an email over this one... Leslie must be hiding in the closet!! :) But, we must all start somewhere, and how many of us are lucky enough to get their FIRST big break on the silver screen :)
