My 7yr. old heard this on the regular show and said I like this and the belted out really loud MISSISSIPPI QUEEN, and I just fell on the floor laughing!!! It's funny to me because I remember the tune from the radio when I was a kid and even though I was more in to Funk and Soul music I always dug this song, and now 42 years later my kid digs it too.
HE WAS SOMETHING,that's a fact,he taught MICK JONES lead guitarist for FOREIGNER how to shred that gibson of his,and few play at LESLIES AND MICKS TALENT,DAMN FEW
Today's rock doesn't hold a candle to this amazing group . I came across this a year ago .Never heard of the song, vocals or group . This is legendary.
@@unseenadventure9876 I wont say he was one of the greatest but he did have a unique style and sound. I would even go so far as to say he was the first with the heavy metal sound. RIP Leslie.
You just cant beat the 60's 70's and early 80's ROCK N ROLL God Blessed us all back then with Music that really had Heart Poured into it !!!!!!!! Miss being a Sound Engineer from those day's it was a Memorable Experience Tour Bus Runs and Early Rise for Set-Up and Sound Checks and late to Bed with a Good Joint and the Echo of the Tour Bus Engine purring me to sleep !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can still close my Eye's and Hear It, and Feel It, I can still remember Cruisin Hollywood Blvd and Sunset Strip going up and down the Blvd. when I wasn't on Tour, I had the Top Down Jammin And Cruisin nothing else like it, The Good Ole Day's WHEN MUSIC WAS A WAY OF LIFE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RIP Leslie West, 12/23/20. An original rocker. The golden age of hard rock is getting lonesome. I'd bet my bearskin hat that people stopped dead in their tracks the first time they heard this incendiary guitar assault.
I was a teenager when this "hit the airwaves", and it really was ear candy. And that is in the era of Led Zep, ELP, Grand Funk and a lot of new styles of music being released.
Almost ten years later still watching this video well put together I remeber when this video was posted in 2007 I was in 7th grade and thought this was the best thing ever now I have a 1992 s10 blazer with a turbo Ls swap made 900hp on the dyno last week. I jam out with this and try not to smoke the tires everytime. This will forever be in my memories
...and Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys.. the black 55 Chevy is the SAME 55 that Harrison Ford drove in 'American Graffiti' when he raced the Milner's yellow coupe.. 😎
+j flo I was lucky enough to start going to rock concerts about 1966-67 and I saw many greats before they became famous. Saw this band about 1970 Schaffer music Festival Flushing Meadow Park the site of the Worlds fair right beside the huge globe.May have been earlier and was Rheingold Beer festival
Great Song!🎵😎60s 70s 80s and early 90s music is cool. I enjoy all kinds of music. 🎼🎶REAL MUSIC REAL VOICES REAL INSTRUMENTS 🎹🥁🎸🎤I'm so glad I experience music like this in my life 👍❤✌🇺🇸
They sold millions of records & West is considered one of the greats while Pappalardi is considered one of the great producers. This song still, after 40 years gets airplay. How are they not getting the credit they deserve?
This song makes me wanna go tear up some back rodes in my truck and listen to the sweet v8 hum and feel the rear end and transmission lock up in sink with that live rear axle wanting to break away and come around. Pure heaven.
KING OF CACTI See his name? He probably lives in Mexico or a Latin American country. Not everyone who makes a comment lives in the U.S. How well do you speak or spell Spanish? Hater! Pierdol sie!
The fact he even knows of Mountain & loves muscle cars & bikes speaks volumes. I had that 67 Mustang McQueen is driving! Rock on brah! It's all good. Check out some Led Zeppelin too. Correct spelling no es necesario.
I bet I've watched this 50 times and the sound of the last scene after the music stops gives me chills every time. Motor music. Awesome. A perfect ending for this video.
can't appreciate it enough man. thanks for putting this video together. if it weren't for this video I wouldn't have even known about the movie two lane blacktop top now one of my all time favourites. can almost smell the burning rubber and gasoline everytime I watch this
I love playing the Good Ol Southern Rock especially when I'm driving my 06 Convertible Mustang Super Charged w 2 Muther Thumper Cams, 4/10 gears, Bama Custom Racing Tunes, Polished and Ported Heads, X pipes w no cats. Tested at 638 horsepower 629 TorqueBest feeling in the World. Driving that car.
It's not southern rock. The drummer is Corky Laing from Quebec Canada. Leslie West is Jewish and from Long Island N.Y. The late great Felix Pappalardi on bass.
just a storey , back in the 1970s running kilos from grants pass, to reno ,18 to 24 hrs depnding ,showup buy ,..chit chat ,whatever .6 little white cross tops , jam this at the mcloud turnoff ,at 3.27, in the morning brother you havent lived. really thanks for the memorys.
You can't have fun driving and squealing the rear tires anymore because fascist big brother has fucking surveillance cameras everywhere watching every move we make.
Used to see them at Palisades Park in New Jersey,think they were called the Vagrants,the solo on Theme from an Imaginary Western is still one of the finest pieces of guitar work ever recorded
Mississippi Queen Video - Movies are On Any Sunday,Two Lane Blacktop,Bullitt And Dazed And Confused . I use to have a 68 dodge charger just like the one on Bullitt ,Bad ass car !!!
Steve McQueen "The King of Cool" in Bullitt OMG so much sexy one of the best-car chase movies, maybe the first? at least (imo) better than the rest that followed
My 7yr. old heard this on the regular show and said I like this and the belted out really loud MISSISSIPPI QUEEN, and I just fell on the floor laughing!!!

your 7 year old is now 17 years old, congrats
now he's 17yo
I can relate because Im 9 and I heard the song on regular show.And I did not know the song was that old.
I was more in to Funk and Soul music ? what the hell is this then !
@@christopherdunn317 to me back then Southern Rock
And yes it does absolutely have Soul but I wasn’t rushing out to buy a Mountain record sorry 🤣
I graduated high school in 1978. We drove these cars and listened to this song on 8 track
66 years old and still love this song!!!
Amen.
🤘
As well you should, Junior (I'm 71 - played this tune in H.S. - saw Mountain at the Ridgewood H.S. gym in '69 - they blew a hole in the roof!
You 68 now
I am 66 year’s old and still jamming on
What a song...loved it 50 years ago! Still gets this old man's adrenaline going!
Me too William 🎵🎶🎼😎😎😎😎😎🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️☀️
Metoo!!!
Me too. Looking for my car keys now 😂😂
the original kick ass song with the greatest cow bell opening of all time!!
Christopher Waklen thinks it needs more cowbell.
Saw Leslie in small venue in his native Long Island got to have a shot with him great song underrated guitarist

Without a doubt this is one of the greatest rock-n-roll jams of all time.
Yeah no doubt about it.
This song was made to be played extremely LOUD
Have you tried a rare jam? Hard to find and expensive too.
"Traffic Jam" don't put any on toast! 10-19-2021
Classic car movies. I love two lane black top.
You just went up a notch on my book 1a
That's what I name my channel after. Sadly, over here in Europe you don't find a decent copy of that movie. Just saw it once in a small cinema.
Saw two lane blacktop at the drive in with my girl in my ‘55 Chevy!!! Loved the Vanishing Point ending😪
I saw parts of Dazed and Confused in that video
No way Ben Affleck could drive that well. I'm claiming that a stunt driver was used. :)
RIP Leslie West! You ROCKED! Thank you for your talent! 1969 Mississippi Queen - Mountain
Was Leslie the lead singer?
HE WAS SOMETHING,that's a fact,he taught MICK JONES lead guitarist for FOREIGNER how to shred that gibson of his,and few play at LESLIES AND MICKS TALENT,DAMN FEW
Today's rock doesn't hold a candle to this amazing group . I came across this a year ago .Never heard of the song, vocals or group . This is legendary.
Rip leslie west, you will be greatly missed, ty for you musical influence .
When did he die? And from what?
@@ant240 he passed last week
@@unseenadventure9876 I wont say he was one of the greatest but he did have a unique style and sound. I would even go so far as to say he was the first with the heavy metal sound. RIP Leslie.
@@ant240 he made an iconic song that still hits today, that's more than most of us accomplished
Awesome blues player.
I am 60 years old and this song is a classic.
Nice homage to an era of reckless freedom. Love the musical quality of the car in the final scene. You’d call that a great note.
This riff has me hooked!!!! Someone plz help me, it's an addiction!!!🎸🎶🎵🔥
It's the sound of freedom. Not an addiction but a God given right
Could also have to do with the cowbell. As you probably well know, you can never have enough cowbell!
I love the movie clips and old skool motorcycle footage, fits the song so well!
And now, for the most underrated hard rock song ever, Mississippi Queen!
Music is political too. It doesn't matter your talent , it's who's ass you kiss and West wasn't about that so they some what ignored him. Sad.
It was a good one, I'm still listening after, what , 45 years!
Possibly the most under rated rock song of all time.
should get more respect am I right.
Needs more cowbell
no seriously this is one of the best songs I've listened to in a long time. . . it's right up my street.
Loving it.
More cowbell cummin up!😝
The 1st time I heard this song it was 6th grade Is the cowbell and the guitar and the drums fantastic.

When music, was music.
love the guitar solo !!!!!!! almost had this song hammered down on rock band !!!!!!
I have loved this song from my youth in the 70s. A great live version was on David Letterman show in the 80s.
song an old cars make my old woreout heart beat way too fast, I love it!!..
Sure enough.....
saw Two Lane Blacktop AND Easyrider with my older brother in 74. both movies were so cool back then.
55 CHEVY GASSER, 1968 FORD MUSTANG, Yamaha dirt bikes, 1968 DODGE CHARGER and many more great automobiles
what about the pontiac at the beginning
Forrest Hildebrant Also a '69 Pontiac GTO "The Judge"
thanks so much dude
That's a 56. Tail lights are different
No, that is a 55. Front clip is the most significant 55/56 feature. Tail lights are definitelly 55.
Two Lane Blacktop, one of my favorite movies, 55 Chevy with a 454 with a tunnel ram.
RIP Leslie West, 12/23/20. An original rocker. The golden age of hard rock is getting lonesome.
I'd bet my bearskin hat that people stopped dead in their tracks the first time they heard this incendiary guitar assault.
He was a Jew
@@whiteyfisk9769 and a proud Jew at that!

a big one@@whiteyfisk9769
One of the best rock songs
This is still a favorite of mine after all these years.
I have 4 version of it on my play list.
✌️😎
Greatest song ever written!!!
Watching this reminds me of the craziness that we did back in the 80's!!!!! Awesome song and decade💫💥❤️🔥‼️
R.I.P Leslie West. Your music soothes us from the emptiness of your loss but also grieves us to how great the loss is. I will see you again
this song should have way more views such a good song
Oh yeah love this song still listening 2019...😘✌️😉

The first clip and through out is a movie called "Two lane Blacktop" with James Taylor.
...and Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys.. the black 55 Chevy is the SAME 55 that Harrison Ford drove in 'American Graffiti' when he raced the Milner's yellow coupe.. 😎
Saw thae movie Two lane Blacktop at a drive-in
@@brucefisher4025 Cool man! Knew that was Brian Wilson but did not recognize the "55" from American Graffiti.
also film clips from the movie Bullitt starring Steve McQueen
@@brucefisher4025 Eeeh! Thanks for playing. It was cousin Dennis Wilson not Brian.
Just found out that Leslie West has passed away. Rest in Power and thank you Leslie!
Moonshine Highway is a good movie. With Randy Quaid. Has some cool old 1950's tanker's.
I love this song and the video! It gets your heart pumping!
THAT was one cool video, a walk down memory lane...
+James Shaw i agree

i still think it needs more cowbell
Always
I got a disease. and the only cure is MORE COWBELL!!
MORE COWBELLLLLLLLL
Are you a drummer too?
Now thats classic Perfect...More cowbell...SNL.

back when cars were cool.
Or those little foreign shitbox cars with the loud flatulant exhaust pipes.
But now every new car it's full of eletronic shit and everyone has an a automatic gearbox.
POWER IS COMING BACK
the northerner Dodge demon? Camaro zl1? Viper acr? Gt500?
those have computers controlling the power. a pontiac 454 souunds way better than a viper, ZL1, FT500, or demon.
RIP Leslie. One of the best rock songs ever
One of the best rock songs EVER.

Mountain rules. Leslie West is one of America's musical treasures, easily one of the best out there.
Mountain never got the credits they deserved, Leslie west my best to u

Public roads are not your god damned fucking race track
Totally badass video!!! Love it !!! God I miss the 70s
Saw this song performed live in Syracuse,NY so awesome 1971

God, that opening guitar line is pure fire
One of the most badass, lit music videos ever!!!

The green 1967 Mustang that Steve McQueen drove was never found after the movie was made and still can't find it.
Love this song!!!!
Still jamming this at 64. Hell yeah.
GREAT song and the video sequences are super cool.
Who else heard this song in The Simpsons? btw i love these movies, back when the actors drove the cars (in Bulitt)
I bet I've watched this 50 times and the sound of the last scene after the music stops gives me chills every time. Motor music. Awesome. A perfect ending for this video.

This is the greatest video on TH-cam. All hairs are standing on end. The last few seconds just as great a music as the first several minutes
Great movie. Used to get aired late night now and again. Haven't seen it in years.
2:28 that downshift ❤
Some of the best vehicles ever made and music
Vintage speed is still pretty bloody fast , especially without all the safety equipment we have these days . Love 2 Lane and Bullit .
One of the best cowbell songs ever!
My favorite song in high school. Go Leslie.
When they used this in Regular Show I was surprised. I haven't heard this song in a long time until that episode in Regular Show :D
Me too ....!!!

Two Lane Blacktop opening. Awesome!!
guitar hero 3 legend of rock
The Two Lane 55,most badass car to ever grace the screen
They used the same car in "American Graffiti ". It was the one Harrison Ford drove.

You do know that these guys are from Long Island , N.Y. Not really " Good Ol Southern Rock "
638 from bolt ons? Lol. Let's see a dyno pull or even just a lumpy cam idle video
@@dtoy1809 It says super charged...He also doesn't know what he is talking about. Hey, you found a buddy.
It's not southern rock. The drummer is Corky Laing from Quebec Canada. Leslie West is Jewish and from Long Island N.Y. The late great Felix Pappalardi on bass.
Pure Gold. Love this tune & video.
just a storey , back in the 1970s running kilos from grants pass, to reno ,18 to 24 hrs depnding ,showup buy ,..chit chat ,whatever .6 little white cross tops , jam this at the mcloud turnoff ,at 3.27, in the morning brother you havent lived. really thanks for the memorys.
0:12 Fun Fact: that's Two Lne Black Top Director Monty Hellman in the passenger seat of the 1970 Judge.
I wish you could drive like that these days in old mustangs at 1.44
cars back then were so much better than the crap we have now
You can't have fun driving and squealing the rear tires anymore because fascist big brother has fucking surveillance cameras everywhere watching every move we make.
I drive like that. (when my case isn't broke)
I agree with you
Just go find a old country two lane in the middle of no where and have fun. That's the way we do it here down south
They keep getting uglier and uglier, nothin better than a classic Dodge Challenger, Ford Mustang and corvettes bodies
The mid-70s was the best time to live
Hare Scramble !
Like old times.
Leslie West, James Taylor, and Steve McQueen. Only in a music video!
Great song love the video.
Used to see them at Palisades Park in New Jersey,think they were called the Vagrants,the solo on Theme from an Imaginary Western is still one of the finest pieces of guitar work ever recorded
That mustang is from the movie "Bullit" and that is part of the legendary car chase from that movie.
Mississippi Queen Video - Movies are On Any Sunday,Two Lane Blacktop,Bullitt
And Dazed And Confused .
I use to have a 68 dodge charger just like the one on Bullitt ,Bad ass car !!!
Thanks for the ride ... I owe you one ...loved the cars and bikes ... loved my listen no doubt ...
