Does anyone know if any pictures,publicity or otherwise ,exists of the pre-Blue Cheer band Group "B" with Dickie and Jerre?
Also I have a clipping (circa 1968) from a magazine that mentions "Blue Cheer out with a new album(which would be "OutsideInside") and movie about the ultra-heavy San Francisco Sound............ any ideas?????
Is it true that actually Leigh(not Bruce) plays on "All Night Long"/"Fortunes"? After repeated listenings it sure does sound like Leigh,especially the feedback laced ending to "Fortunes".
Mikethedrummer sent me a tape awhile back that has the song off the 4th LP "Blue Cheer",of "Hello L.A..,Bye-Bye-Birmingham" now sung by Dickie as "Hello FRISCO,Bye-bye Birmingham"any ideas as to how that came about? I used to have the 8-track of "Blue Cheer" eons ago and they used to have to cut the songs in half sometimes to go to the next listing and they had Hello L.A. Bye-bye Birmingham(part 1) then it said "Hello Frisco,bye-bye Birmingham(part 2) An error of course....
For those of you who are lucky to still have an old dinosaur called a cassette of "OutsideInside" if you play "Babylon"(right at the end of the crash ending) if you turn the volume up to the extrememax you can hear someone (Leigh?)say "can you play that back" just as it totally fades away.

All Night Long/Fortunes preceded the fourth Blue Cheer album and featured that record's lineup. You are hearing Bruce Stephens on guitar, along with Dickie Peterson, Ralph Kellogg, and Norman Mayell. (Leigh Stephens was long gone.) I think the band was trying to capture the original BC magic a bit, and didn't quite nail it. They did better by forging their own sound on BC #4.
