CD Reviews
Mountain in Their Prime
Mark A. Cartier | Portland, Or. USA | 08/23/2006

"Now this recording sounds great (compared to the Fillmore East 1970 available in this series). My bet is these are off the Fillmore's house reels. Good soundboard recordings and a fine show. Worth getting if you are a Mountain or Leslie West fan. As good a live Mountain show as you will find.
Note the track listing is incorrect. There is no "Theme", it is instead "For Yasgur's Farm"."
Rocks Hard!

"If you are a Mountain fan you probably own their album "Flowers Of Evil". This album is very much like the live side of that classic album. There is plenty of improvisation, bass guitar fuzz, and Lesley going over the top with shear volume. The extended "Dreams Of Milk and Honey" just goes on and on..what a jam!
Simply put, this cd kicks! The sound quality is pretty good compared to some of the other cds in the "bootleg" series.
Put in on and turn it UP!"
Excellent Live Mountain

"I have purchased a few and heard many others in the Mountain bootleg series and have been mostly disappointed with the sound quality. Not the case with this one. It sounds like a board recording and the audio quality is excellent. Its a 2 disc set with many of the songs that made Mountain such a great live act. The Cream influence is very evident in Dreams of Milk and Honey. Whoever labeled this must not have been a great Mountain fan though.
On disc 2 the song labeled "Theme for an Imaginary Western" is actually
"For Yasgurs Farm". Great recording though and I would highly recommend it."
The perfect Mountain Live recording

"On this double disc set you get to hear all the Classic Mountain recordings in Perfect Fidelity.Now what can be better than that?This is something you NEED more than anything else in this screwed up world.More than cars,chicks and that green stuff.A definite desert island disc.If you bought some of the lesser quality recordings in this bootleg series don't be scared off from purchasing this one.You won't regret it!And wait till you hear Lesley's version of "Auld Lang Syne",a classic right up there with Hendrix's version of "Star Spangled Banner".Finally there exists some good music to play on New Year's Eve!I can't wait till 2007 when I fry my speakers with this baby!"
