Sort of sad to see him so obese, but it was a very nice tribute to Duane and Berry.

In his heyday, Leslie was a pretty large dude. He is doing it pretty well.

oh yeah he can. i still get his new solo stuff he can still wail. if someone thinks he's obese in 2014 glad they never saw him in the 70's or early 80's lol

That's why we're all here in this thread! One of the greatest albums I ever heard!

Man, how sad that after losing s leg from diabetic complications Leslie seemingly has gained a large amount of his weight back. I feel sorry for him as a human being. And that does look like Michael Allman

very nice, thanks for sharing..

When I had my first car, was a great car 64 T Bird..I drove myself somewhere in NJ

maybe it was the Capital Theatre,it was shithole, but dang Mountain rocked that joint hard..one of the most memorable in a string of memorable concerts in the early 70's we were blessed with..

Very cool of Leslie to do that
Was thinking the same thing myself bump827 -- he'd been minus the excess weight for many years -- too bad he can't be fitted w/a prosthesis (artificial limb), esp playing seated like that
A big hero -- & those 1st few Mountain albums, also Twin Peaks -- Blues To Die For, from 03 or so, Smokes, & the clip shows the guy can still play -- rock on Leslie
