Good to see Mountain get a mention. I'll always have a huge soft spot for them as 'Mountain Climbing' was the first album I bought as a spotty thirteenyearold back in, ulp, early '70 - beating Thank Christ For The Bomb and Deep Purple in Rock by a week. Not a bad way to start. I got rid of my Twin Peaks through student penury..would like to hear it again, but I don't think it's a good a live album of theirs as Flowers of Evil. To me they sounded better when they had a Hammond to flesh out the sound. Saw them a couple of times in their Nantucket incarnation. Good gigs. I believe there are now one or two decent live albums out from that era but I haven't heard them yet.
