Leslieās tone in the early years didnāt just come from his Les Paul Jr,, he used a SUNN Coliseum PA .. That amp head was actually a PA rig. It had 4 mic inputs with a pre amp volume control for each mic input, but ,, hereās the magic ,, it also had a master volume with bass & treble controls.. So what Leslie did was ,, he plugged his Jr into one of the mic inputs, then cranked the pre amp volume and turn down the master to get that sweet compressed breakup distorted tone .. He also used this setup in the studio to go on to make the famous Mountain records like ,, Mississippi Queen etc..

There is 2 things about this vĆdeo.
First, i am a 90's kid, and lost musicians from that generation its really sad, i can understeand you totally.
Second thing, and why i clicked on this video, i freaking love the Les Paul Junior, because of Billie Joe Armstrong, and one of the musicians that he said why he love this guitar, its because also Leslie.
And one last thing, that guitar sounded just amazing

The solo from the song "Travelin in the dark" will always be my fav.
Blows me away every time I listen to it,and that's at least once a day

Iām old enough that I was bowled over when I first heard The Beatlesā¦ then bowled over again when I first heard Jimi Hendrixā¦ then bowled over when I first heard Led Zeppelinā¦ but all that paled when I first heard Leslie West Mountain! There was something SO special about his sound, his guitar, the way he approached songwriting. He was both accessible and inaccessible at the same time! I saw Mountain live more than any other band, and was at the Fillmore East at their most famous New Yearās Eve shows in 1970, with a dozen of my closest friends. Never In My Life, have I met a musician like youā¦ (and yes I met him and talked with him several times). His playing certainly influenced my own guitar playing in ways even I probably donāt fully understand. One of the truly greats of all time. RIP Leslie West. ā¤

Leslie is the reason I ever got interested in guitar in the first place. Got my first guitar, a Checkmate Acoustic, for $29. The next guitar was a 1978 Gibson Les Paul Custom, in Tobacco Sunburst with gold hard ware....and the rest is history!

Leslie was unique. He was one of my first inspirations to play guitar. He taught me what real FEELING was. R.I.P. Leslie West. Btw. I am glad that I could see him playing live twice.

One of the best concerts I've been to. What a great guitarist, a vocalist, a showman.

I was 11 years old and 71 and I remember all of this is clear as a bell we did live through the best times

Their Woodstock performance was phenomenal, when I watch videos from that show, I wish I would have been there.

Thank you so very much. I was born 1969. My father learned me and my brother to like and listen to Elvis and several other artists. Then my older brother picked up the guitar and at that time we shared the same bedroom. He took in Jimi Hendrix, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Van Halen in to our bedroom. So we are raised with rock, hard rock and blues and Metal. And for me this is a blessing and when my 50th birthday came I bought a electric guitar and trying to learn a little. Thanks to this I finally discover Leslie Westā¦ā¦ and boy what a guitarist he was. Iām also blown away and at the same time sad that I didnāt discovered him earlier in my life. Anyway itās never to late to find new (old) music. Thanks to YouTube in my case. Itās a music treasure. Thanks again and rock on š¤

Everything you're describing about Leslie West reminds me of another guitar player born in 1945 and fellow SUNN amplifier devotee---Randy Holden from Blue Cheer. He was never the fastest or flashiest guitar player, either, but he was always on the quest for the best guitar tone---and also liked to play LOUD!

Thank you for introducing me to this player. I'm 43 and I hadn't heard of him.

Thank you so much for looking out for Leslie ,when asked who are my favorite guitarists Leslie just blurts out of my mouthā¦Iāve been a fan of Mountain since the release of climbing ā¦

Larry, great tribute to Leslie. When YOU TUBE first hit the internet I saw a concert from 69 or 70 and Leslie was doing an improv solo during a song and I said, Leslie is the GodFather of Hard Rock! This is where it all began.

Nantucket Sleighride is one of the greatest rock songs ever created - it is an epic on par with Starway to Heaven

Leslie West still my favorite guitarist of all time. Maybe the most valuable guitarist for people learning... because he doesn't play fast or flashy, 'new-ish' players can learn his songs and then...spend the rest ofd their life refining and trying to get them perfect.

I bought Mountain Climbing in 1971 and it still rings true todayā¦ā¦.I met Leslie in NYC and will never forget that day.

I am Leslies brother Larry West Weinstein and your tribute left me sobbing. Les missed that Junior very much. Your playing reminded me of Les. He could make any guitar sound amazing,.
