Blue Cheer - Live At Rockpalast - Summertime Blues (Live Video)

[@RobretBertram]

Blue Cheer : The Original Heavy Metal Psych Rock Band of 1968!

[@johnharris6676]

When people talk about heavy rock they definitely should be talking about these cats! Heavy rock at it finest! Definitely underrated band..

[@taurusthefool]

I can't even believe the amount of people who never heard of these guys. Not to mention the people who have never heard Rumble by Link Wray. Practically the beginning of distorted rock and the beginning of the psychedelic/prog rock phase

[@johnharris6676]

taurusthefool Today’s kids will never know what Rock was. Not only from Blue Cheer Little Richard, Jerry Lewis ect!

[@Lulbratjade]

@@johnharris6676 as someone who is 18 and in love with early hard rock i promise ill keep these guys and their music alive even when yall die

[@markshimada3672]

Yeaa

[@markshimada3672]

[@kesslermontijo6304]

Here it is 2023 and my ears are still ringing! They put the "sic" in music!!!!!! All in good fun. Am I still alive?

[@rob8872]

Yeah - I saw them in 1969 and my ears are still ringing!

[@geneahart5607]

Dicky Peterson: one of my hero's in my youth.

[@mavjimbo]

He was a baller

[@TheFernandosr]

YEAH, BLUE CHEER, I WAS A FRESHMAN IN HIGH SCHOOL WHEN ''SUMMERTIMES WAS A HIT '''!!

[@msaintpc]

The originators of head banging metal. I booked them at the Whiskey in both February and March of 1969 along with The Seeds. They were never underrated, they were the kings from 1966 to 1969.

[@shaunmcdonough9016]

Dickie was probably pretty sick with the cancer that killed him the next year when this show occurred. But he was still rockin' right up until the end. RIP (and RIP Paul too who just passed away this year).

[@bigbad6994]

Run for your lives!

[@rickywilliver6995]

14 days after Paul Whaley s birthday my brother passed away I guess there ain't no cure for the 2019 Summer Times Blues RIP PAUL

[@larryleitch3803]

Ricky, I am sorry about your brother. The rest of these comments are plastic 😂. Bless you man.

[@RandyR]

They still had it after all those years ✌

[@brotherthor8699]

Hooray! No lip syncing! Thank you Blue Cheer!

[@MrOpodeldok]

Cos it was live in German TV

[@mitchelbart1306]

Saw them in concert 1968 in Phoenix with Iron Butterfly and Sweet-water and three other groups. They were awsome.

[@DonaldWottrich]

You want to talk about heavy? This is it!

[@charleslaporte6212]

I have had every Blue Cheer album that I could find , and CDs too. Want to read what they were about , find and buy the album Louder Than God and read the notes on the back of the cover . One band I wish I had seen live . RIP Dickie

[@Brother_MarkG]

saw them back in 1968 in a tiny bar and they blew out the windows in less than 10 minutes.. they were so loud that one had to be outside to take it all in

[@precisionbrown6829]

Saw them in the late 60’s and played with the drummer at a few studio sessions in the late 90’s

[@giuliobentz6349]

Wow....pioneers❤

[@kenderen3736]

Keep on going strong. The guys that helped to pave the way for Metal. I still listen to this great stuff.

[@Buzzramjet]

Wherever you are Dickie/….keep blowing out their eardrums...rock on.

[@daveshredmonster2171]

Blue Cheer were the Nirvana of the hippie era, if there ever was one.

[@unclekennymusic]

Epic!!! The song that wouldn't end!!!

[@arcangeld.o.7224]

Now it's a lots different with all the technology that exists today but the magic of this rock and roll band 45 years ago it's incredible cheers brothers.

[@JohnnyNation]

The younger cats here also did a great job helping to keep Blue Cheer's music going till the bitter end !!!###

[@alfredoduran8813]

Incredible,they don't ask nothing to any other band.just awesome.5

[@amorodioamor4388]

I worked with a guy who was a regular at Fillmore west. He saw everyone in his lifetime. He said the 2 greatest bands he ever saw was Zeppelin and Blue Cheer at Fillmore West.

[@mikebinns9209]

The HEAVY ROCK Gods

[@delo1960]

the drums are tuned wide open...awesome

[@keithhinchcliffe4377]

Loudest concert I ever attended; way back in '70. my ears were ringing for 12 hours after. How these guys aren't deaf, I don't know.

[@johnskar2601]

I saw them in the 70s also and I have to say, they are one of the all time best 3man band I've seen.

[@amorodioamor4388]

My friend saw them at Fillmore West in early days and he said it was the loudest band he ever heard. He said he couldn't hear for days

[@jensandersen7011]

WHAT???@@amorodioamor4388

[@glennarnold]

Best cover ever 👍

[@brbrmg]

Very beautiful.

[@santycarva9467]

Un grupazo Blue Cheer

[@jeffblacky]

Did a show with them once . Cool guys

[@WhiteNacho]

Said to be one of the loudest acts back in the day.

[@taurusthefool]

Not sure why this was their most popular song. Especially being a cover. Their song Peace of Mind is easily the greatest song in their rep.

[@majugejohn3716]

Check out "sun cycle" or "just a little bit" if you havent already, those are good ones.

[@marvinlovell2956]

For a Few years loudest band in the world!

The best version of this song. The Who did it justice, but these guys gave it the girth !!!! Raw !!!

Eddie Cochran did it best!

[@eduardomatteliano7846]

Love them all forever!! What can you say about a band named themselves after the buzz they used while being so loud they had to record in airplane hangars!?!! Immortals Rock on in Nirvana Forever!!!

[@Taztiger7272]

The jury is still out but I say 1st true Heavy Metal band The Yardbirds, Cream, Hendrix and Iron Butterfly are up there with Fijjid Pink, MC5 and Iron Butterfly...

[@dynjarren8355]

Steppenwolf. Born to be Wild. I like smoke and lightning. Heavy Metal Thunder! Racing with the Wind and the feeling that I’m under! That was the first mention of the words Heavy Metal in a Rock song. And it was 1968.

[@joki5346]

We should not forget The Gun, Love Sculpture and Grand Funk Railroad.

[@TheStudioRoblox]

I would Steppinwolf is there too.

[@chrishershey5033]

What a great time to have grown up in … I blame the internet for the death of music heroes

The heavy metal's father!

[@1blastman]

Saw them on April 27, 1968 at the Fillmore East, playing with the Iron Butterfly and Traffic. They were about as good as the Iron Butterfly, but Traffic was the class of the night. They sounded better at the Fillmore East than they do here.

[@mirokrivak8852]

Fantastic --You are still live !!! ??? Thanks ! your fan from east block Czechoslovakia

[@geraldroraback5432]

Blue Cheer came to David’s in Manchester, CT. To check us out. They were very complimentary. Loved my drum set.

[@rebb6160]

The could have been the earliest onset of grunge

[@triglett0669]

Metal and Hard Rock not grunge

[@mikehemens9359]

My favorite is Doctor Please. Check it out on the original album

Fuck yeah!!!

[@philiphoward1731]

OK this is really pretty good somebody needs to build sSunn Amplifiers again in the Sunn Colosseum PA

[@lukehauser1182]

Let's get our terms right - this was called "hard rock" - which flourished briefly till cartoonish "heavy metal" displaced it

[@charleswilliams8368]

Hard to categorize uniquity.

[@TheStudioRoblox]

use to call it acid rock back them.

[@sirjanska9575]

Hard rock, heavy metal, acid, stoner... Titles change but at the end of the day it's all just rock 'n' roll

My God!!! If Black Sabbath, Metallica, and Nirvana were the grandchildren..... this song would be like grandpa pulling a coin out of their ears, and them being mystified... W

A metal song from 1968 Years before black sabbath This guys invented metal

[@thesandman4438]

A while back my 25yr old daughter asked me who invented metal. I immediately cranked up Summertime Blues and told her this is a band called Blue Cheer. Her mouth dropped open and she said "but it's in black and white". I never felt so fucking old in my life. LOL

[@dukecraig2402]

@@thesandman4438 They had to film that in black and white, if they'd have done it in color people's brains would have exploded, it was just too much in 1968.

[@iangreenhalgh9280]

Not years before Sabbath, Sabbath already existed in 1968, their first album was released in 1969. Jimi Hendrix invented heavy metal - a journalist described his music as 'heavy metal falling from the sky'.

Could have been heavy metal at its earliest. Which really sprung up from Jimi Hendrix

Bloody shit hot

weren't we just in our 20's? WTF HAPPENED?

It would have been great if they played an Ozzfest with the original Black Sabbath on the same bill.
