Leslie West & Mountain perform two songs on late night TV February 1992

Details

Description

Leslie West & Mountain with Corky Laing and Richie Scarlet perform two songs on Dennis Miller's late night TV show February 1992. The first song already appears elsewhere online, but this appears to be the only upload with BOTH songs from this reunion performance, one of their first after a six year hiatus. The BetaGems channel also has "Leslie West 10-31-91 New London CT UNRELEASED."

BetaGems are culled from an archive of over 1000 beta video tapes recorded from 1983 into the 1990s. Most feature live music performances broadcast on television in San Diego CA, though there are also rarely seen commercials, comedy clips, old TV news segments, made-for-TV movies and documentaries, religious programming, variety shows, talk show interviews, and other material that doesn't seem to be anywhere else on Youtube or online. Most of the tapes were recorded on a Sony SL-HFT7 Super Beta Theater Hi-Fi Stereo - the same model was refurbished and is being used for these digital transfers and uploads.

In rare occasions where a BetaGems clip does appear elsewhere, we're only uploading if our own beta master is better quality or contains material not seen previously. Much footage comes from public television and public access broadcasts that the taper, who worked for a local cable TV production company in the 1980s, monitored nightly for several years. Some of the programming is strictly regional, mostly from the San Diego area.
