People think the heavy sound started in England. It started with this in California. The speed guitar originated in California with Dick Dale and the surfer music also. I'm not talking the first to ever play, but the first to get to mainstream radio. This recording made the charts and was blowing people's minds. We're talking #14 on Billboard in 1968.

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

I saw these guys live at the Fillmore when I was 13 in 1968; boy was it loud! Same concert had Ike and Tina Turner and Freddie King.

[@pilesovinyl]

These guys killed on this one. It was so heavy for 1968 it was ridiculous. The Who's version which came out about the same time was really good but this one was arguably better, just a killer track.

[@bubu345]

WHO kindagarten

[@kristahartmann6712]

I was at the Gulfstream Fla race park concert in 1968 (17 yo, senior in high school). These guys were on the bill. Zappa was there & ....Jimi Hendrix choppered in behind the stage and galvanized me. I had never been so blown away by a rock performance....& I was 'experienced'.....my 1st concert had been The Beatles, 1964 Jacksonville, FL in the old Gatorbowl. I was 13. BTW, THAT almost didn't happen as there was a 3-hour drive up the coast in the remains of a hurricane AND The Beatles initially refused to play as it was going to be a SEGREGATED audience. Much credit to the band as they told the promoters "We won't go on". My friend Karen's mom sat in the parking lot, waiting for us during the concert & I bought a giant " I Love Ringo" button. Different times. Great memories.

Eddie Cochran did the original in the late 1950's. This is the psychedelic version.

[@tom222boy]

Eddie's version is well worth a listen.

[@Kgio-2112]

This is the heavy metal version.

[@VaughnBrown1965]

The guitarist for Blue Cheer in the 60s was my dads best friend. Dad made him my godfather. So that means the godfather of heavy metal and grunge (they’re know for this) is my ACTUAL godfather. Truth. Mind blown LOL

[@bowlingstoned2113]

Blue Cheer was definitely a VERY criminally underrated band. They put some heaviness that even Cream couldn't rival.

[@eastbaykidd8574]

"What is this?" 😄This is a classic example of "Acid Rock".

[@tucostoys1678]

They got their name from the purest form of acid you could get at the time. I've always loved this song!

[@31wst83]

Great and also a revolutionary band, they pretty much invented the "heavy" sound. Just imagine hearing this for the first time in 1968!!

[@RJ28753]

It was bliss

[@mgman6000]

Don't have to imagine I was there

[@sonnywolfblues]

Check out the original Rockabilly version by Eddie Cochran from the 1950s.This version here by Blue Cheer was when in the mid 1960s guitar amps started getting more powerful and fuzz pedals could now give thick sustain to the guitar sound so bands started discovering how to play really loud as the drums and bass got louder too....this is how Heavy Metal originated and this performance is one of the songs that opened that sonic door.Jimi Hendrix,Cream,Led Zeppelin,The Who and Black Sabbath were also important innovators in playing that loud style of music that the world never heard before.

[@dominickferrari8368]

Blue Cheer was in the Guinness Book of world records for being the loudest band in the world . Also, the first to use Marshall Amps in 1968 :)

[@bubu345]

wow

[@joomomma9463]

That was deep purple actually cheer was first I looked it up..cheer was the first American band to use Marshall amps..

[@chrismcdowell7138]

Love that you review Blue Cheer’s Summertime Blues, from beginning to end, without interrupting, with only a little bit of talk over. Spinal Tap’s Nigel Tufnel, was proud of his one amp, that he could dial all the way up to ‘11’. Blue Cheer had their wall of stacked Marshalls dialed up, way, way beyond ‘11’.

[@RJ28753]

One of my favorite proto/heavy rock songs

[@KennyY-bh3zl]

Always one of my favorite tracks, Biz. It hit #14 on the Billboard Magazine Hot 100 in 1968. If there was a genre called "Heavy Rock", this would be a great example. Blue Cheer were a fine San Francisco band. Hey, I just remembered, I need a new "foot rub machine".😄

[@megamaniac7402]

They did a whole album with this consistent heavy fuzz sound. Forerunners of heavy metal. "Summertime blues" was a surprise hit. The complementary bands of their era loathed them for their crude and loud approach to music.

[@jessekellerthecollectingne5058]

This entire album deserves to be checked out, one of the best psych rock/proto-metal albums to exist

[@gregjones861]

Love the dirt. Love the raw meat and broken glass. Classic early distorted rock, fraught with peril.

[@lufshpq]

blue cheer!!!! Holy shit!!!!

[@jackkerouac6186]

They named themselves after some high power LSD" Blue Cheer" . Pure acid rock

[@vicmusgrave1278]

An American band formed in cali. In the late 60s.

[@Flaco-ip7cl]

From San Francisco

[@davorcihak7330]

When you place a song in the time it was created/ covered, the song is a long-ago ancestor of heavy metal, sludge and stoner sound. The song is massive, extremely distoesed, the tune is very deep and it was played like heavy metal. A very innovative song.

[@jamesvomsaal3814]

Their song Out Of Focus was trippie

[@mikecaetano]

"Summertime Blues" was a hit for Eddie Cochran in 1958. Sadly, Cochran died when he was 22. So most of the rabbit hole with his music comes from covers of "Summertime Blues" performed by other artists: Blue Cheer, The Who, Alan Jackson, and Brian Setzer. PS. "Peace Of Mind" is another worthy song from Blue Cheer. And if you're interested in that sort of heavy sound from the late 60's/early 70's, check out Iron Butterfly "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida", Vanilla Fudge "You Keep Me Hangin' On", The Chambers Brothers "Time Has Come Today", Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac "The Green Manalishi", Harry Nilsson "Jump into the Fire", The Stooges "Down On The Street", MC5 "Kick Out The Jams", The Amboy Dukes "Journey to the Center of the Mind", The Flamin' Groovies "Louie Louie", Crazy Elephant "Gimme, Gimme Good Lovin" ...

[@bubu345]

GIMME CRAZEEE ELEFANT

[@sabbathpriest3755]

Yesterday’s Children and Bang! Are also worth checking out.

[@rafehr1378]

Chamber Brother's tune. Add "LOVE, PEACE & HAPPINESS. It's not as mind-blowing as "T.H.C. It does have it's moments too.

[@bryanforis1839]

Now that you heard this now hear live on stage live when starting 1year before this in 1967

[@avestuart]

"Parchment Farm" is one of my favorites.

[@garykelly5710]

Blue Cheer, louder than God

[@Flaco-ip7cl]

The first heavy metal band

[@barryschalkwijk9388]

the who is nice but these dudes created Metal on this day.

[@paullucchesi3545]

BLUE CHEER HAD THE WALL OF SOUND

[@joomomma9463]

That was the grateful dead.

[@dannytapp7259]

People would take mind bending ingredients and these type of musical effects would take you for a ride

[@jackkerouac6186]

They are from San Francisco California

[@arjaylee]

The Who did a fine cover on the Live at Leeds Album. When I was young, this was the only version of the song that I knew.

[@bubu345]

WHO kindy stuff up

[@hardyharhar9]

Now that drummer was Paul Whaley and he was a beast.

[@gregjones861]

If I may add a second comment, this song is a great early example of those occasional times a band explodes with unhinged dangerous sound in the studio... and it actually gets released on record! There are songs thru all the decades of rock where this occurs, and you should check a few out. Some examples are "House Of Pain" by Van Halen, "Moanjam" by King's X ( ! ), " The Great Deceiver" and "Red" by King Crimson (a band who seems to finally be showing up on reaction channels without blocking), "Guitar Shop" by Jeff Beck, " The Future" by Spiraling, "23 Minutes Of Tragedy" by IZZ, "Fear Is Never Boring" by The Bears, "Brighton Rock" by Queen, "Thunderbuck Ram" by Mott The Hoople and (for the thousandth time I'm requesting this one) Dancing Madly Backwards by Captain Beyond! (P.S. No No No by Deep Purple is also a great example of this)

[@dudly8408]

The beginning of ACID ROCK...

[@RJ28753]

😝🤘

[@Badvibesdude]

Check out Sun Cycle off their second album. These guys were ahead of their time and a really impressive wall of heavy noise for a three piece.

[@jettrink7510]

It was freedom...do your thing

[@ptrkehler4927]

Please do more Blue Cheer!!!!!

[@carymisenar862]

At its high point it was the loudest song recorded

[@joomomma9463]

Should have watched the video..

[@psidvicious]

Noisy is the word. Blue Cheer was noisy good.

[@doriwiljt]

The Who made this song a hit

[@bubu345]

fukkkkWHO

[@joomomma9463]

Wrong

[@orinolsgaard1755]

This guy does'nt have a clue. Nothing about Eddie. Nothing about Psych rock, This is proof that all rock music history will be lost forever. Whats worse, this guy doesnt care.

[@watchbizmatik]

That’s my first time hearing the song or the band rock will be lost because of lame people like you instead of writing something constructive or educational you wrote that, what did that accomplish? I or anyone else learned nothing… you are what’s wrong with music fans. Why don’t you start a channel and save the world like you think you just did with that idiotic comment… have a goodnight you nothing.

[@bubu345]

bassman singing......druma freakin out

[@tonyfrancesco3701]

The first heavy metal was Beethoven the second heavy metal is without doubt, BLUE CHEER , always will be , better than all the rest . I got to see them twice at the Psychedelic Supermarket Boston 1968 just now recovering my hearing
