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.

Big fan of Mountain in their heyday- saw them open for Tull right before Aqualung was released. Cactus- have their early albums, not as familiar with their work. 
I always liked the Cactus take on Parchman Farm - quite the jam! Can't go wrong tapping into some old Bukka White.
Finally real rock´n´roll here : )

MOUNTAIN Twin Peaks live at Koseinenkin Hall, Osake August 30 1973 has the heaviest, fuzziest & fattest bass sound captured on record. There is no-one like Felix Pappalardi and his Gibson violin bass. Colossal sound. Heavy stuff man.

Felix Pappalardi is the most underrated musician and producer in American rock music and culture and has the most beautiful voice from a man in the business. He produced Cream and Jack Bruce´s best solo album.
His singing on "Theme from an Imaginary Western" is the finest version of them all. Period.

Cactus - the masters of heavy metal boogie. There are couple of live recording from they prime released recently... gotta have them too !

RIP  Felix, you are the greatest

Saw Mountain December 1973 and it's a contributing factor as to why my ears ring. Corky Laing on drums  and David Perry on rhythum when I saw them.
