KEITH MOON WENT WILD! When Corky Laing stole his Jacket!

[@MorGuitarz]

I'm a WHO fanatic and had a smile from ear to ear listening to this story. Also, the author is Dave Marsh! I think that's who he was thinking about... book "Before I Get Old"

[@RedGarnett-n2p]

Maybe as a who fanatic you can explain why Pete Townsend's such an overrated asshole that only knows how to play power cords that couldn't play a good lead to save his ass

[@RobHollanderMusic]

I saw Mountain every time they played Fillmore East. Loved 'em; Leslie, Felix and of course Corky's a tremendous drummer.

[@AlmostReady504]

Cool AF!!!

[@stepanbandera5206]

You are very fortunate to have witnessed such great rock history. 👍

[@Cayres9]

Ah i remember his Bsnd Mountain the lead singer/guitarist was amazing so underrated that group were.

[@bodegabonsai7069]

I saw the Who in 1968, Mountain a couple of years later. Moon, before his lifestyle took its toll, was the most impressive drummer I have ever seen. I'll never forget that first concert. Keith's drumming has been described as "savant-like" and I agree. Impossible to describe what he did or how he did it. Corky Lang was also considered good back in the day. I love hearing Keith Moon stories and hadn't heard this one. Thanks Corky.

⛰️MOUNTAIN⛰️ what a POWERHOUSE !

[@predictorleague8780]

Corky is a great storyteller!

[@harrisonandrew]

I absolutely loved Mountain.

[@AmericasChoice]

We all did in those days. Such a unique sound. Great talents in the band.

[@PlayerToBeNamedLater1973]

Seeing videos of Mountain onstage influenced my decision to make the Les Paul Junior my main instrument. I will never get tired of that killer rock and roll tone and sustain that you can only get from an LP Jr. I got lucky and found an early 60s Jr. in trade for an old Laney bass head, of which I had two .

[@AmericasChoice]

Did you buy Leslie's fingers, too. Because that is where the sound came from...

[@PlayerToBeNamedLater1973]

@@AmericasChoice yes I did Yet strangely, when I play my strat it sounds totally different. Cretin.

@@PlayerToBeNamedLater1973 You sound like a cretin when you play your Stat? I am not surprised....

[@rupe53]

a little off the wall, but quite amusing! I really never knew they were buddies.

[@stepanbandera5206]

Corky and Keith were heavily influenced by Phil Bilzor of "Bacon". I'm surprised that wasnt mentioned. They met at Bacon's debut at the Filmore East. ROCK ON PHIL!
