‘She taught me everything!’ (Leslie West and Mountain, ‘Mississippi Queen,’ 1970)

Welcome to Monday! It’s time for some brain-busting music from hard rock heroes, Mountain.

Here’s the band performing “Mississippi Queen” live in New York, circa 1970. The clip comes from the rarely-seen movie, The Day The Music Died, which made it to theaters in 1977.

“Mississippi Queen” climbed to a height of #21 on Billboard’s “Hot 100” in 1970. Enjoy the wild live version and contemporary footage.
