"Been listening to Leslie for some 30yrs. I must say this has gut to be some of his finest work. Jimi Hendrix would be proud of his rendition of Voodoo Chile. This is the kinda blues, legends are made of. If you own nothing from Leslie West, BUY THIS!"
A must for guitar hero afficianado's

"I can't say enough about the CD.
Highlights: Never in my life, voodoo chile, and mississippi queen (of course) this is leslie sounding better than ever in another power trio..
live, raw, classic!
if you loved Mountain, and West/Bruce/and Lang,
and you haven't gotten too old to rock- loudly- this is it!
get it and crank it up!"
Outstanding work by a living guitar legend!

"Great live rock 'n roll by the driving force behind MOUNTAIN, Leslie West. Anyone who appreciates power rock with virtuoso guitar work will love Leslie West Live. Great covers of classic MOUNTAIN songs (especially Theme From An Imaginary Western), as well as some standard rock classics (Goin' Down)."

"When WEST/BRUCE/LAING made their first appearance it was nothing short of sensational. Some of the MOUNTAIN tracks were also quite remarkable for their time. LESLIE WEST was one of the best guitarists of his era. However, that was then and this is now.
Compared to some of the awesome talent out there today ( see my other reviews ) WEST is now just one of the better guitarists and not one of the best. He has successfully adopted some of the more modern stylings that advanced electronics make possible and has added these to his already extensive repertoire of chops. Others have taken the guitar further in search of diversity and are a lot more stimulating to listen to. This is good but doesn't quite compare to the likes of JOE BONAMASSA and GARY HOEY amongst others. If you liked WEST in his haydays, you won't be dissapointed, or if you want to add another good / great guitarist to your collection, then this will certainly do."
