Real Live Tracks From Woodstock! Felix put this album together after they went on haitus. Since Mountain's tracks on the Woodstock Soundtrack and II albums were not recorded at the festival, it's nice to have two real ones. Leslie and Corky hooked up with the bass player from Cream, whilst Felix cooled his ears (damaged by loud loud amps). Mountain would reform in 73. |
