I saw Mountain live opening for Jefferson Airplane and was very much taken by the tone. I was able to come pretty close with my SG Special and my Blackface Bassman cranked all the way up. There may or may not have been a Maestro fuzz involved.
As enthusiastic as I was about this gigantic achievement at the time, for some reason it did not endear me to the neighbors. I can’t imagine why, I mean, I really nailed the tone!
My buddy who played drums in our band likes to tell people that we played so loud in my parents' dining room that we gave their neighbor ALS. I still contend it was just a coincidence. (He really did die of ALS. Sadly very quickly - he didn't get the Stephen Hawking kind. Shame - he was a really good dude.)
