jamman Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Great Song , what about these ? Thyme to an Imaginary Western, Never in my life . I think those are great Mountain songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNylon Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Never In My Life, and Theme For An Imaginary Western I believe were the finest of any of the Mountain songs. I got the real lyrics of "Never In My Life", from someone who knows L. West. West, Pappalardi - Collins, Laing "Never In My Life" Never in my life Did I find a girl like you Never in my life Did I find a girl like you When I wake up in the morning You make me feel so good Bringing me a shot of whisky And a little bit of lovin' too For the first time in my life I finally found someone like you For the first time in my life I finally found someone like you I feel like I’ve known her a lifetime And it feels so good Knowin' my baby's waitin' And I’m gonna’ get mine too-ooh Hey hey hey Never in my life Did I find a girl like you Never in my life Did I find a girl like you When I get around to thinkin' About the way she do I don't want to leave her You know the woman loves me too (RIP Felix Pappalardi 4/17/83) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrNylon Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 The lyrics to "NIML" aren't that clear on most of the tracks of it. After you see the real lyrics to "NIML", It's almost comical when you see what some believe the lyrics are. When I saw Mountain in early 1971, they opened with "NIML". They slowed the tempo down, It was amazing. I wish they would have recorded it on the Climbing album that way. [thumbup] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondJig Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 mountain reminds me of all the high school dances where all the bands where play'n them, loved them slow songs. My older brother use to see mountain play the high schools, that would have been cool. Last time I saw LW was in the summer of 2001 in the World Trade Center, central court yard where the big globals was, they had summer concerts during lunch, we would go and hangout, great times, sad time.......

pippy Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Odd as it sounds, I first heard "Nantucket Sleighride" because the fast riff-bit of it was used as the theme-tune for a week-end lunchtime T.V.worldwide-politico-docu-analysis program on UK television in the mid-'70s ('Week-end World' with Brian Walden?). My mate knew what it was and I hunted the album down. Great band. P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNylon Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 G.E. Smith Played Nantucket Sleighride on Saturday Night Live a lot when he led the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky4 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Blood Of The Sun from Woodstock contains some of West's best guitar work I think. Don't forget Blind Man, Crossroader, One Last Cold Kiss, etc, etc Great band! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNylon Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I like listening to Dreams Of Milk And Honey, on the Flowers Of Evil album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigh Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I forgot about Crossroader. Great song. Theme From An Imaginary Western is still my favorite Mountain song. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNylon Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I really liked Never In My Life when the album came out in 1970. But when I saw them live a few month later, it's the song I listen to the most over any other song by any one. http://youtu.be/ojVmLCtsHq8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grog Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 The live cut on side 2 of "Flowers of Evil" might have been one of the longest recording on one side of an LP ever pressed.......... almost a half hour! The volumn was cut down a bit to cram the extra tracks on it. I bought the CD a about ten years ago hoping it was remastered, it didn't sound much better to me anyway...........
