Free Music Notes for New Year Concert 1971

Free Music Review: Colossal Double Whammy
Hit: 5 Stars

I always thought Homer Simpson's line in that TV commercial for his newly designed car for the average Joe was also a spot-on description of the band Mountain: "Powerful like a gorilla, yet soft and yielding like a Nerf ball." Nice one, Homer Jay! In fact in the later and equally hysterical Homerpalooza episode, this fat, yellow, bald, Duff-chugging, donut-scarfing, blue-panted, three-fingered and altogether lovable American icon gets to groove momentarily to Mississippi Queen blasting out of his car radio! See, even Homer digs the Mountain. This New York combo's first and second studio efforts, Climbing (1970) and Nantucket Sleighride (1971), are without question bona fide must-owns for any self-respecting hairball with a hankering for the crunchier end of rock and roll but here is something I did not know until lately: as stupefyingly good as those two albums are Mountain live is a whole other bucket of rhubarb. Take this scintillating New Year concert from 1971 for example. Not that the live versions here of well-loved studio recordings are substantially different or anything but they're played with such slap-happy verve and control that you hardly notice at first how loose and freed-up and bagonghi these dinosaur jam sessions are. Suffice it to say that if you're partial to the studio versions of Silver Paper and Mississippi Queen and Don't Look Around and Travelling in the Dark and Nantucket Sleighride and so forth then you will surely pull on your wellies and jump around the garden when you get a lugful of what these dudes can do with them on stage. This two-disk entry in the official live Mountain bootleg series features Leslie, Felix and Corky firing on all four cylinders and then some--huge and fat and fuzzy never sounded so huge and fat and fuzzy. Plus for those space cowboys with a yen for a jigger of sonic headbust you have here the raucous and sublime Guitar Solo and Dreams of Milk and Honey to blow the cobwebs clean out of your mind. What else can I tell ya? Oh yeah, turn yer knobs up to 11. Incandescent wang dang doodle.
