Blue Cheer es una banda de blues rock de fines de los 60s y principios de los 70s, que fue pionera del Heavy Metal. Con su base de operaciones en San Francisco, el personal original eran el cantante/bajista Dickie Peterson, el guitarrista Leigh Stephens, y el baterista Paul Whaley. Un poderoso trio de rock, el nombre de la banda fue tomado de una variedad de LSD promovida por el químico de Greatful Dead, Owsley Stanely. Su primer hit fue un cover de una canción de Eddie Cochran "Summertime Blues" de su album debut Vincebus Eruptum (1968). Como muchos de ustedes saben Dickie Peterson murió en octubre pasado, en su memoria aquí tenemos el mas reciente show de la banda grabado en Alemania, donde ya tenía un tiempo viviendo.
No necesito explicar la importancia de esta banda en el rock a ninguno de ustedes. El impacto que causaron con su primer album todavía se puede sentir y no se que hubiera pasado con el hard rock y el heavy metal si no hacen ese album.
Blue Cheer is an American blues rock group of the late 1960s and early 1970s, who helped to pioneer heavy metal music. Based in San Francisco, original personnel were singer/bassist Dickie Peterson, guitarist Leigh Stephens, and drummer Paul Whaley. A power trio, the band was named after a variety of LSD promoted by underground chemist and Grateful Dead backer Owsley Stanley. This variety of LSD took its name from a popular laundry detergent. Their first hit was a cover version of Eddie Cochran 's "Summertime Blues" from their debut album Vincebus Eruptum (1968).As most of you will know, Dickie Peterson died in October. In his memory, here's a more recent Blue Cheer show. It was recorded in Germany, where he has been living for a while already.
I don't need to explain the importance of this band for rock music to any of you. The impact they caused with their first album can still be felt and who knows what we might be missing today if it had never been recorded (except for the great album itself, of course!!!). All of you who have seen Blue Cheer live will remember the powerful show and their very sympathetic front man. You could tell how much he was into what he was doing.
Tracklist:
01 - Parchment Farm
02 - Rollin' Dem Bones
03 - Out Of Focus
04 - Just A Little Bit
05 - Maladjusted Child
06 - Summertime Blues
07 - The Hunter
