Mississippi Queen - Mountain cover by thetworegs & Speed Demon

[Speed Demon]

Reg and I are dragging you into the Wayback Machine and transporting you way back to 1970.

This tune was originally performed by Mountain.
Leslie West, Corky Laing and Felix Pappalardi.

The first time I saw these guys live I had a good laugh. Leslie's stomach was so big his Les Paul looked like a ukelele resting on it. Didn't hurt his playing any.

Bear with me. Fixing an error in the music.

Okay, its fixed now. I made a boo boo in the vocal track.
Sorry, Trevor, you are healed now.

Really faithfully captures the tones and vibe of the original!  I saw Mountain around early '72.. as I recall Leslie wore always wore white gloves while he was playing, a carry-over from earlier days when he was a car mechanic during the day and a guitar player at nights.

A real rippin' cover!  Great job!

[Speed Demon]

Thank you, Hooper.

Trevor has knocked me out again with his awesome vocals.

We need a time machine. Got to go back and make up for all those years we missed, playing together.

FANTASTIC cover Speed and Regs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You both have nailed the Mountain vibe all the way down to Leslie West' guitar work and his vocals but you've made it your own! This recording is radio ready to my ears. Nice, nice work!

[Rata-tat-tat]

[Speed Demon]

Okay, it is fixed now. Sorry for the blunder. Download it again and Trevor will knock you dead in the dirt.

Thanks for listening all and your kind comments....... A wonderful mix Gene always a pleasure .........Should'nt this be in the 70's fest ?

[Speed Demon]

You're right, Trevor, it should be in the 70's fest.

Maybe we can get the Official Rabid Hamster to fix that for us.
This stuff is way too technical for me.

My guitar amps are still running on coal.

Excellent work guys !!!
