Clear Frosted Glass with Silver Swirl. West, Bruce and Laing (also known by the acronym WBL) were a Scottish-American-Canadian blues rock power trio super-group formed in 1972 by Leslie West (guitar and vocals; formerly of Mountain), Jack Bruce (bass, harp, keyboards and vocals; ex-Cream), and Corky Laing (drums and vocals; ex-Mountain). The band released two studio albums, Why Dontcha (1972) and Whatever Turns You On (1973), during their active tenure. Their disbanding was officially announced in early 1974 prior to the release of their third and last album, Live 'n' Kickin'. Mostly leveraging material from Cream's and Mountain's back catalogs, West, Bruce & Laing began touring almost immediately after Mountain's disbanding, completing a 30-date North American tour even before their record deal with CBS was finalized. The band remained a hot live commodity throughout 1972; notably, a November 1972 WBL show at New York City's Radio City Music Hall sold out 6, 000 seats within four hours West, Bruce & Laing performed at Circus Krone in Munich on April 13, 1973. This performance was part of their tour supporting their album "Whatever Turns You On". The setlist included songs like "Don't Look Around, " "Sunshine of Your Love, " and "Mississippi Queen". The Whatever Turns You On sessions would be the last time West, Bruce & Laing would work together. However, news of the band's breakup would be publicly withheld until early 1974, with the band's posthumous live album Live 'n' Kickin' released shortly thereafter. In 2009 West and Laing teamed up with Jack Bruce's son, Malcolm Bruce, and toured as West, Bruce Jr. And Laing. This group was advertised by some venues as a reformation of West, Bruce & Laing, with Malcolm described as "filling in" for his father on the tour.
