One of the greatest songs ever written

[@supervidere7]

It's a good tune, a very good tune. Let's not get carried away.

​@@supervidere7Hahaha!. Agreed. Overindulgence.

​@X51AWaverider You have to admit that this collaboration of members is fuckin tits. This guy's solo rips it!

You know it's good when you feel stoned, but it's been years since you've smoked.

He has got to feel he is on top of the world when playing that fcking solo

[@trentdenham5844]

Stephens guitar solo in this live version shatters my brain and liquefies my spine, its so f'ing good, thanks KEXP you guys rock

[@hinder90]

This is what space rock is supposed to sound like.

The best song Pink Floyd never recorded, brilliant Rick Wright style keyboards. Find dark skies,light fire then a fat bifter,lie back and contemplate the Universe. Mind Yoga for the lazy,love it!

[@techno2410]

Pink Floyd what??

[@wartimemodels]

I get more "maggot brain" vibes (a live version)

Psychedelic rock at its finest!

Wooden Shjips are not too far off the line either. ;-)

[@matsumoto3720]

@@JensBom agreed!!!

[@pjetrs]

I saw them once live, and when Skywalker started his solo, it felt like the world was going to collapse around us. And he just wouldn't stop, he might as well summoned demons while he was at it .. Unbelievable how good!

[@leotam3372]

It gets to a point where the guitar just wraps and surrounds you

[@navid_ahmed]

Thats the best psychedelic song i have heard in years. Riverside created some seriously good songs but nothing after that. Truly a Masterpiece

[@SuperGreyWardens]

Saw them at a festival last summer. They were chilling in the crowd right behind me during the set before them. But when they played they blew everyone out of the water particularly with this song.

[@macaz1986]

FriendlyWalker same story when I saw them. The guitar player was drinking with me at the bar. Listening to the opening act. Walking around. Then they got on stage and killed it. My friend handed him a weed vape pen and he hit it like 3 times in a row during a song then busted out a sick guitar solo. I can’t wait to see this band again. I

I watch this once a week minimum. 50 years' worth of playing guitar that, for whatever reason, on this particular day at KEXP, chose to flow out of Stephen in one of (if not THE) most transcendent performances I've ever seen. Something happened in that studio on that day.

[@friki71]

Man these guys are freakin talented musicians, To me this is in the "food for the soul" category. Don't need bud,meth, or eanything at all, they send your sober mind off to space, that's how good they are. I heard them from a video here on YT, some dude called "underrated" posted some very very good exellent music, I even thanked him.. peace out people.😎✌

This made me happi. :)

The world would be a less good place without KEXP. Black Mountain tore this and me to shreds.

[@petitnicollas]

Love the Pink Floyd influences

[@ogenmatic]

Awesome without any comparisons.

[@olecrazyhands1326]

Think kids will listen to this thirty years from now and smoke/trip like this generation did with Floyd? I sure hope so, this deserves more recognition.

[@TheDungeonDive]

No. They'll just still do it to Floyd. Floyd is timeless. This is good, but derivative. Floyd will be listened to always, Black Mountain won't.

[@jamesmaynard9128]

I can't stop listening to this though

[@nectarinedreams7208]

@@TheDungeonDive This isn't neatly as derivative as people are making out.

[@user-lp7tx1fe6t]

@TheDungeonDive I can tell you I’ll be listening to this piece as long as im breathing and if i have kids so will they lol

[@JamesMaynardMoreland]

It's been several years and I found my old comment lol and still can't stop listening 🙃

[@jayce1971]

I've been going through a tough time recently but Black Mountain and All Them Witches help keep me going everyday and for that I'm thankful. ❤

[@tomsmineralwarehouse675]

Simply a jaw-dropping performance. Wow!

[@johnnierainey01]

Went looking for Black Mountain by Winnebago (great tune by the way) and ended up here...how lucky am I? This nectar is both inspirational and uplifting in equal measure...an absolute treat for all the senses. Greetings and thanks from Scotland.

[@DeadheadYates]

Holy shit this damn near brought me to tears

One of the best bands I've seen in the last five years... Can't wait for them to come back to the UK.

[@MartyZaluski]

Amazing. Soulful, ethereal, powerful. Thank you!!!

The guitar solo at the end reminds me of that bit in the long version of Blinded by the Light by Manfred Mann

Probably the best version of "Space to Bakersfield", Amazing.

Seem like somebody mixed Pink Floyd and Jefferson Airplaine. Beautiful voice of this girl and the guitar of the dude with the Black Flag shirt is awesome! Reminds me David Gilmour when he was young.

[@dwstratto]

this song is one long, beautiful guitar solo, and some mighty fine bass work too. I just wish they would produce more work that has this sound.

[@ferz_ormeno]

That's impossible my friend, imagine a "Time part 2" from the dark side of the moon, a "Epitaph, the second" or a "Rajaz once again". This kind of masterpieces can be done just once.

[@duoglide2008]

Have had the pleasure of seeing them live a bunch of times. Happy to report that this same vibe translates - if not better - to the live show. Just such a fantastic piece of music. My all time fav BM song. I play it at parties for anyone that wants to listen constantly.
