Climbing!
Climbing!, also known as Mountain Climbing!, is the official debut studio album by American blues rock band Mountain. Released on March 7, 1970, the album featured the 'classic' Mountain lineup of Leslie West (guitar, vocals), Felix Pappalardi (bass, piano) and Corky Laing (drums, percussion), and followed the West solo album Mountain featuring Pappalardi and drummer Norman Smart, released in 1969 and often credited to the band. Produced by Pappalardi, the album reached number 17 on the American Billboard 200 albums chart and featured the band's best-known song, "Mississippi Queen". An early rendition of "For Yasgur's Farm" was actually performed at the Woodstock Festival in August 1969 with a different title. It was subsequently recorded and retitled for the album.

For Yasgur's Farm
by: Mountain(Gardos,Laing,Pappalardi-Collins,Ship,Rea) A sad reflection in everyone Who am i but you and the sun Was it me who let you walk away Were you the one Or is it were the same The simple story of a younger life What are we in time going by Happy dreams and somehow through the day We havent come so far to lose our way Look at me, i believe its true Youre a part of me Im a part of you Love is only what we come to knew The walking, breathing and all with you A crystal passing reflected in our eyes Eclipsing all the jealousy and lies Look at me, cant you see its true Im a part of you Youre a part of me Quiet as the voices in a dream Were you the one Without two shadows the things ive seen Remember the evening i let you walk away Or is it were the same Look at me, i believe its true Youre a part of me Im a part of you
