I don't even listen to those bands, so I could care less about them. Hey FBL what would you think if Blue Cheer were open for, or co-headline with Black Sabbath?

Being that those are my top 2 favorite bands, I think you know my answer. In my opinion, there is a connection and there have been no other bands as heavy as these 2. I'd also like to see BC do a show with the Groundhogs, which has actually happened in Europe. Maybe if Bloodrock would reform once again......

Bloodrock is a name I haven't heard in a long time either. I have their first two albums. I need to break those out and give them a spin again. Whoever Blue Cheer ends up with on the next tour is fine with me. Anyone remember Lucifer's Friend? I always thought they were a pretty good 70's hard rock band as well.

Oh yeah, definitely remember Lucifer’s Friend - I remember when I was in grade school this guy who was several years older than I lived across the street from me and at the time he had the most enormous record collection and he introduced me to all of these bands, Sir Lord Baltimore, Dust – then this other guy whom I met several years later when I was a sophomore in highschool had even a bigger collection than the other guy and he introduced me to AC/DC (at the time Let There Be Rock was their latest release) and he was the guy who introduced me to Bloodrock and another band called, The Godz - man, those were the days!

Yeah, Blue Cheer rules over all of them....they were the first, the best.....and the loudest! It must have been such a treat to have seen them back in the day but that's why I try to go see them now every chance I can get ..... It's really great talking about all these types of bands with fellow music lovers like yourselves - you guys are far and few between - peace everyone

I love the direction this thread is digressing in. I am a really huge Dust fan! Now that Marky Ramone is the last surviving Ramone (well...from the classic line up), maybe Dust can reform. I downloaded an old Cactus radio performance from 1971 recently which I enjoyed until I got to the end and found out Dust was also on that show. Anyone out there got a recording of that?
Loudest band I saw: in 1985 I had 7th row for Deep Purple's reunion tour. The stacks of speakers looked just like all the legends I heard about BC shows from all the old hippies I know that saw them back in the day. I was deaf for 3 days and couldn't sleep the night of the show as the ringing in my ears kept me awake. I would've love to hear BC play through that PA system!!!

I would have loved to have seen Deep Purple with Blackmore. I guess he is content on doing the Robin Hood music thing now. I have only heard Dust a few times. I liked what I heard. I wonder if those albums they did are in print anymore?
You guys have really brought up some bands that I never would have had a chance to talk about anywhere other than here. Any Captain Beyond fans out there? Anyone know what ever became of their guitar player Rhino?

my brother always tells this story of seeing Black Sabbath in San Fransisco late 69/70 or so...he said when Tommie went into his guitar solo it got as loud as the entire band was before the solo...or course he was trippin' and that provided a major dose of psychedelia....ahhhhh the good old days...I get a flashback whenever he retells this tale...

I saw Black Sabbath twice in the 70s. Very loud! And some of the best shows I have seen!

I was talking to my dad about concerts last night, and he said he saw Led Zeppelin in California right before he went to Vietnam and he told me they were louder than anything he heard during the war. He still has Blue Cheer's first two albums he bought in L.A. in 1969. I snuck them out of his cabinet and had them signed for him at one of the shows I went to a few weeks ago.

I found these old live pics of Sabbath on the net I guess this could give you an indication they used a good amount amplifiers and got some heavy volume on stage...nice vintage shots whoever took these

Great MC5 link, Mr Maltese! Remember seeing them and the Stooges together - you wanna talk about high energy, out of control, feedback laden madness. Like Blue Cheer, those bands really did 'kick out the jams', no joke. It wasn't all about volume, it was alot of attitude and passion, along with some great songs and musicians. MC5 got too much into the politics, which for me was a bit too self righteous. But, that was a big part of the times. The whole scene went to another level...
