Mountain and Cactus

Was jst playing some Mountain and Cactus And was just wondering if there are fans of these two great underrated bands out there. I saw both bands in the early 70,s as well as Zeppelin and Cream. Not saying there better but these were great bands that didn’t get the respect they deserved. If your a fan chime in.

"Theme from an Imaginary Western" and "Nantucket Sleighride," what beautiful music.

And of course "Mississippi Queen" has been an anthem for every garage band, including mine.

Jim McCarty is still active and touring.
Leslie West once said he thought he was a really good guitarist until he saw Eric Clapton.  Jack Bruce when reflecting on the the great guitar players he worked with said West was the best to play with.

I saw Leslie West playing in The Vagrants (on a Les Paul Jr., iirc), pre-Mountain. He came out onto the Fillmore stage wearing a mesh cape covered in bird feathers. Quite a sight!

Two good bands, to be sure, but not in the same league with Cream and Led Zep IMHO.

Not a bad cut on Nantucket Sleighride.

”The Great Train Robbery” is awesome.
