Mountain- ERUPTION- 2CD- 2005- Fuel 2000 Records, Inc./High Romance Music Ltd./True North- 620638037126- 500 grn
ERUPTION, a double-CD live album, spotlights two post-Pappalardi versions of Mountain. The first unites West and Laing with bassist Mark Clarke (of Uriah Heap fame), and that lineup is heard on some New York club performances from 1985; the second lineup (West, Laing and bassist Richie Scarlet) is heard during a European tour of 2003. Of course, hearing Mountain in 1985 and 2003 isn't like hearing Pappalardi-era Mountain back in 1970 and 1971 - the group is way past its prime, which isn't to say that Eruption is without merit. West and Laing are in decent form on old favorites like "Nantucket Sleighride" (which they perform in both 1985 and 2003), "Mississippi Queen" and "Never in My Life"." But here's the thing: Mountain was much more than decent back in their early-'70s heyday - they were one of the most powerful and exciting hard rock bands around. Casual listeners should stick to Mountain's classic Pappalardi-era output; Eruption is strictly for the group's most diehard fans.

If any band were deserving of a name that suggested something immovable and monolithic then it was surely New York’s Mountain. Formed in 1969 and drawing inspiration from British blues boom this American band of brothers soon took the blues, turned it into proto-metal and paved the way for countless imitators. Outside the confines of a studio Mountain became an infinitely heavier beast and the two CD set ERUPTION captures them in all their earth-shaking glory. Culled from two shows (at Manhattan’s The Ritz and Brooklyn’s L’Amour) LIVE IN N.Y.C. 1985 found Mountain at the top of their game. By the time this disc was recorded the band were operating as a three piece with original members, guitarist Leslie West and drummer Corky Laing being joined by former Uriah Heep bassist Mark Clarke, and they certainly put the “power” into power trio. Openers don’t come much better than ‘'Hard Times'’ and, indicative of the bands modus operandi, it’s a slow builder that evolves into a monster that stomps from speaker to speaker like a gnarled grizzly and leaves a trail of destruction in its wake. With plenty of crowd participation ‘'Rocky Mountain Way'’, with a sublime bluesy feel, makes for a perfect set closer. With no overdubs or studio trickery this album replicates the Mountain live experience and LIVE IN N.Y.C. 1985 is the next best thing to actually being at a Mountain gig. Doing exactly what it says on the tin LIVE IN EUROPE, 2003 finds Mountain captured at various locations and delivering a superb seven song set. By the time this disc was recorded Mark Clarke had been replaced by former Frehley’s Comet six-stringer Richie Scarlet and while he’s equally adept on the bass guitar this recording places him deep in the mix which means this disc is less punchy than the first. However, the upshot is that it places Leslie West’s guitar centre stage, and he unleashes some serious riffage on ‘'Why Dontcha'’ and some ethereal soloing on ‘'For Yasgur’s Farm'’. That Cream connection comes to the fore again, this time on a cover of ‘'Crossroads'’ which is more in the spirit of Eric Clapton than Robert Johnson. After the departure of original vocalist/bassist Felix Pappalardi many doubted if the band would (or even should) continue. ERUPTION puts any such notions to rest and stands as testament to their live prowess.
