Saw these guys in a club way back in the day in Cincinnati. He sang it "Cincinnati Queen." The place went crazy. Great band.

bro can you imagine hearing that in 1970? Heaviest tone outside of Iommi during that era. People must have thought it sounded like the soundtrack to the cataclysm.

Yeah. Leslie was a "mountain" of a man in those days and a force of nature. What a set of pipes too.... in addition to the guitar chops, of course. Down to earth regular guy in real life also. Funny, humble. The "kid from Queens" was always there until he finally left us. RIP, man. Thanks for everything.

[@Bulletguy07]

I remember in the early 70s hearing this track playing in a local record shop and I asked the counter guy about the band. It was on a Japanese import so pretty damn expensive but I just HAD to have it! Years later I went to see Leslie West play at a small venue in London. What a blast that was!!

They actually played this live in an era where everyone pretending to play while the radio recording was used. And he might be the only obese rocker in 1970 as everyone else was skinny from all of the drugs they were using, especially uppers. But man they sounded great here!
