Blue Cheer Out of Focus Rockpalast 2008

Blue Cheer live in Rockpalast 2008
A wonderful and harder version of Out of Focus from Blue Cheer's 1968 album "Vincebus Eruptum".
One of my all-time favorites.

BLUE CHEER......a contender for the ROCK and ROLL HALL of FAME!!!

[@hippydippy]

Never happen. Thank God. They were WAY to cool for that shit show!!!

[@caseym5017]

I'm one of the old boomers that cursed the internet for years and now here I am listening to these guys in 2021.

[@bobbieleveline3207]

This is probably one of the best version of this song I have ever heard in my life... Brilliant. Excellent. Pioneers of hard and heavy metal

[@joemink890]

Best version of this song ever. Love the guitar work.

[@fabrikk60]

Yes it's great, but *nothing* can beat the original ending, where Leigh's guitar sounds like a rhino being fed alive through an industrial wood chipper! I've never heard such horror show, fucked-up guitar like that before or since; it was a once-in-a-lifetime take. Everybody go hear it here now.

[@monkeyliver1986]

I love the bassworktoo

[@debrasoiseth7507]

Before there was Black Sabbath, before Led Zeppelin, before Iron Maiden there was The Blue Cheer. THE true pioneers of heavy rock. The original members here.

[@budgiemcleod4443]

Fair enough, but remove Iron Maiden from this. Maiden is nowhere near as groundbreaking as the other 3 you mentioned. Iron Maiden is highly overrated.

[@lizardguy523]

Budgie McLeod thank you so much for saying that finally someone agrees

[@DanHunterSportsWriter]

True that!

[@DanHunterSportsWriter]

About Blue Cheer. Couldn't give a toss about Maiden. Blue Cheer Hendrix and Cream are THE pioneers of hard rock

[@YouzTube99]

Actually, that's Andrew "Duck" MacDonald, not Leigh Stephens, on guitar. This is the only 'reunion' vid I can find on YT that includes the original members: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJ2yZWqlbclsh7c

[@Rd8239]

I listen to blue cheer every week.

[@monkeyliver1986]

I listen to them every day

[@DanHunterSportsWriter]

Holy fuck! Dickie was close to death here but still sounds incredible

[@silentforest7147]

That's what I was going to say. Pretty amazing.

[@loudmind68]

Cream/Jimi Hendrix = Proto Metal Blue Cheer = Metal

[@bearbryant3495]

Been a fan since about '69. Thanks for this.

[@gastonlopez8547]

EXCELENCIA!!!

[@hardyharhar9]

Paul Whaley is such a beast.

[@lccomo]

In from out... my life.

[@daltoncarvall7537]

Os Invetores do Heavy Metal!! Ajoelhem!!

[@latrellmitchell348]

[@Dougdenslowe714]

That Whaley roll at 3:49..............

[@loudmind68]

He was a fucking great drums master. Rest In Peace the greater Paul!!!

[@julianletelier6022]

It's was my first band ,that I listen the rock's sound ,at first ,i think ;what kind of music is this,at the first was some an oriental music....

[@MartLovesSound]

Goon on you Julian, once you start with all these nice bands from the 70s there's no end! 😁

[@LOKJazz]

Is that Paul Whaley? Last time I saw him he had blonde hair. We lost touch but he was a great guy to hang with

[@MartLovesSound]

You met him? That's nice. It is indeed Paul Whaley!

[@Dougdenslowe714]

Could someone translate what Dickie meant when he said “he wrote many bones before this song”. Thanks

[@loudmind68]

He said "He BROKE many bones before this song"

[@theoven7143]

I thought it was rolled a few bones

[@MartLovesSound]

I think it's rolled too, that's why he was Out of Focus right? :P

[@waynedanberry]

This Was/Is My FAVORITE ORIGINAL SONG BY This BAND! On The Album, The Guitar Solo Is SO OUT OF TUNE/Out Of Focus! It's Beyond HEAVY METAL!

[@myrrhakerenko5553]

Far beyond!

[@debrasoiseth7507]

That IS right, somehow it kind of added to it. The first pioneers of very heavy rock.

[@MrSteve50us]

Cant say much good about the vocals! s.n.

[@DIYTFY]

Bad cover of their own song. Jk
