MOUNTAIN - Mississippi Queen (Live on “The Show“ 02-24-1970) - * RARE * remastered audio
This thundering version of Mississippi Queen, Live in the studio at WITF Pennsylvania, USA shows the band at their peak power. They are sufficiently stimulated for the experience and giving it their all (except the keyboard player, wtf). This version is *much* better than the album version and the live version at NY Pop later in 1970, and is undoubtedly the best version of the song anywhere. This is the Holy Grail of MOUNTAIN relics.
All stoner and doom bands are foam in the wake of MOUNTAIN.
Audio remastered by me to remove some tight-q 500hz and 250hz, soft boost 80-120hz and 5-7k. No added compression.
It sounded worse before, believe me. In all likelihood, this performance was tracked and mixed quick and dirty on TV gear, stored for a decade, duped to VHS, improperly stored for more decades, poorly converted Analog to Digital before a cousin of Leslie’s (not verified) uploaded the vid to Facebook where the remaining quality was assassinated. I did my best to remove the honk of the 250hz and cupped mids at 500hz-550-ish, where the keys where resonating loudly and totally dominating the mix. This eq move of mine unfortunately thinned the guitar slightly. It must have been monstrous live. The stringed instruments are both fuzzed by band beating the absolute hell out of the front end of the amps, and also by the peaked inputs of the recording gear, which is why the vocals have gained a perfect amount of velvet distortion. It was mixed *VERY* hot. The kick drum is not present anywhere in the spectrum where it can be made more apparent without messing up the bass tone. I have two decades of experience in commercial studios as a tracking and mixing engineer, but this mastering job was done in ten minutes at home through Logitech headphones and a Bose TV bar speaker. A somehow fitting final insult to the engineering aspect of this this god-like performance by MOUNTAIN.
I hope you enjoy it as much and as often as I do. Please comment below if you would like to discuss any of the following...
- Les Paul Jr.s
- P-90s, especially those late 60s dog-ear output monsters
- Leslie West
- Stacks of Amplifiers that pose multiple fatality risks
- Teenagers that have no idea what they are witnessing
- Bolivian Marching Powder
- Local TV

I have done a remaster of the second and last song in this set, linked in the card at the end of this video. I have also done a remaster of the entire set as it was broadcast on PBS (different mix, no added clapping) and published that on my channel. Check that out by clicking the “Supro“ pfp circle at the end of this video. Please let me know in the comments which version you like best.
