The wall of. Marshall amps.... that was.... 68 & psychedelic music at it's high point

Awesome!

Hendrix MUST HAVE SEEN THESE GUYS EARLY IN HIS CAREER. Uh, yeah.

Very groovy. got to see them perform once. Very lucky.

Named after the acid tabs of the same name

He closed The Seattle Pop Festival in 69. Outasight!

Guaranteed "wall of sound" was not even plugged in. Groups always played thru house system, no time for sound checks etc. Roll em in, roll em out.😊

One of my favorite groups back in SF when I was in college. Saw them many times - this is a subdued performance ... The first metal band IMO.

Seeing this footage again and again, I can't stop thinking about those 4 girls... If any of them are still alive, how they look like in 2025 and how should they feel remembering this glorious dancing day in front of such a powerful band...

One of the first Bad Ass rock songs of very early Rock & Roll. ❤😊

I am getting my album out tomorrow!

The Who

I remember this so well. Our band at the time learned this song….. wasn’t this good though . 😊 It was really popular when it was released.

A musical genius for six decades now.....

Love the late sixties when the camera was always on the drummer!

Paul Whaley is the drummer, he was from my hometown, Winters, Ca.

The Rock band UFO recorded another song by Eddie Cochran C'mon everybody and the style and rhythm of the song sounds very similar to this song by Blue Cheer.

They are from my hood in San francisco, so much natural talent back in those days, heyy CC Carpenter❤

JUUUUST AWESOME!

I came home from high school one day. I was watching the Steve Allen show. Blue Cheer was performing. At the end, Steve was shaking his head saying something like "Ladies and Gentlemen, these boys are LOUD!"

Still listen every fuc. In day

Why do you think he would want to visit Kashmir?? Could it be the Most Excellent Hashish available there?? Not condemning or accusing, Jes' Sayin'

I remember hearing this when it came out, during the summer before I started high school it was epic.

Loudest band I ever heard live.

For those who don't know, 'Summertime Blues' was written by Eddie Cochran and Jerry N. Capehart and was released in 1958 and sung by Eddie Cochran. The Who, performed the song in their early years of playing. And if you want to hear them play live, their album, 'Live at Leeds,' released in 1970, is their best performance of such a great song.The whole album is one of the best "live albums," ever. "Keep on Rockin' in The Free World..."

That's the cut right.off the album. If it had been live those poor children would have been bleeding from the ears

Timmy, were you wearing a skirt? I heard you got under a number of 'em, but not in that way.

Disgusting 😂 I would call them Song s ruiners , I know the song From my youth

Dick Clark never allowed live performances. Never..

Saw them at the Avalon New Years Eve '67 with Country Joe and some others. Janis AKA Pearl and Hendrix at Sac Sate gym and Cal Expo. They were local boys Folsom/Orangevale Cal that went to the City SF

10 years old glued to the TV for this🎶✨🎶

Второй раз в жизни слушаю эту песню. Первый раз в 1968-м. Мне тогда было 15. Сейчас мне 71. Песня великолепная.

I was hoping to see a live performance. What? Blue Cheer LIVE on Bandstand are you crazy? Yeah I know, I was undone by my own optimism. Blue Cheer was the loudest band in the world back in the day and in fact their second album Outside/Inside was titled such because the recording studio kicked them out to the parking lot half way through the recording session. As a lad Blue Cheer was the first concert I ever attended and it was one of those nights you just never forget and thus began my love of Heavy Metal.

Im from the east bay and somehow never saw them. Darnitt! Now my non wammy SG is not enough... This guy can bend notes. Very strong hands.

This must have been during the barber strike

You know I told my congress man and he said quote. I'd love to help you son but your too young to vote

Cool wall of Marshall stacks. I bet that wall is unbelievably loud. Too bad their instruments are not plugged in.

Uhhhhmmmmm. No microphone for any of these geeks?

This (and the Motown original) ought to be in the National Archives.

I still love this band. Marshal stacks!

Musik meiner Jugend. ❤️

Why did these guys disappear?

They are really playing this: they are playing to the album recorded audio. Nice hair, though!! 🤣

Are they plugged in?

Who's Singing ?

They split my head right open. Like Commander Kodie and the Lost Planet Airmen

Gee did the Who borrow their style of vice versa?

Dick Clark was one of the rebels of rock!

I’d heard of them here and there throughout the 70s but never had the opportunity to buy their music or see them. I’ll have to see what I can find.

Not heavy metal, they were rockers. In no way were these cool guys in the same category as 'Ozzie Osborn' FFS! Had their first two albums, they took music in a different direction! Counter-culture at it's best.SF was where to look for the future of what would be cool!
