The first BLUE CHEER which was such a vital impact of powerhouse sound, people didn't know what to think of it in '68 and was the subject of much discussion being the 'heaviest' rock music anyone had ever heard.
Blue Cheer was named after a pure strand of LSD. Dickey Peterson (bass and vocals), Leigh Stephens (guitar), and Paul Whaley (drums) were average musicians and fair songwriters, but they had a vision that would lead to a far different type of rock music than was being produced in the late 1960s.
BLUE CHEER were a quintessential power trio that helped set the foundation for the development of heavy rock music. They advertised themselves as the loudest rock ‘n’ roll band in the world and history notes that their sound would reach sonic levels. Each instrument would have a bank of twenty speakers. They were also one of the few groups that Billy Graham banned from playing the Fillmore West.
Vincebus Eruptum was their debut album and was released in 1968. It featured extensive feedback, an overbearing guitar, and a sound that was both psychedelic and hard rock. The album struck a resonant chord with the record buying public as it reached number 14 on the national charts.
The classic Eddie Cochran tune, “Summertime Blues,” would become Blue Cheer’s best known song and only hit as it would reach number 11 on the charts. It featured a fuzzy guitar sound with a lot of reverb set against pulsing bass and thundering drums. The sloppy production only served to enhance the track. While this song may seem dated today, in 1968 it was groundbreaking.
Blue Cheer would always make other artists tunes sound even better, for instance both Summertime Blues and “Rock Me Baby” which was a B.B. King tune. Dickie Peterson’s vocal remained true to the original blues interpretation and ran counterpoint to the guitar lines. Leigh Stephens was not a blues guitarist and certainly not of the caliber of B.B. King. He did know loud and louder and so churned through the song in an interesting creative manner. Another old blues song, “Parchment Farm” written by Mose Allison, was moved over to the BLUE CHEER all hell break out heavy rock ‘n’ roll sound and became a killer interpretation here.
Blue Cheer featured a wall of sound, and their three awesome self penned tracks on "Vincebus Eruption" clearly shows the band laid foundation for the heaviest to follow. “Doctor Please” featured frenetic drumming and Stephens guitar playing, with thunderous if not roaring feedback could produce a heavy guitar style only similar to Randy Holden their follow up guitarist (formerly with "The Other Half" and "Population II".
“Out Of Focus” featured impassioned vocals and some excellent bass playing by Peterson. Stephens improvises some tasty guitar licks with his guitar howling feedback and out of control. “Second Time Around” came with a pounding drum solo and extended guitar improvisations and is incredible in Dickie Peterson compositions.
Vincebus Eruptum marked the most popular and creative zenith for Blue Cheer though their "OUTSIDEINSIDE" next LP is by far worth investigation!
