Previously unseen footage of Eddie Van Halen jamming with Leslie West and Corky Laing at a club in Los Angeles has emerged online. The clip comes from a Mountain show held at the House Of Blues in West Hollywood, CA, in August 2002, and shows Van Halen joining the band onstage for a version of Never In My Life, from Mountain's 1970 album Climbing.
The pro-shot footage also shows Van Halen and West chatting and rehearsing backstage, and includes an interview with West, where he explains how the pair's friendship began, and how Van Halen's playing inspired him to pick up the guitar after a break in 1976.
