Blue Mountain Eagle, Blue Mountain Eagle 1970 (vinyl record)

Artist: Blue Cheer Album: Outsideinside Release year: 1968 Genre: Hard Rock, Psychedelic Rock Country: USA Outsideinside - the second studio album in the discography of the American rock band "Blue Cheer", formed in 1966 in San Francisco and named "in honor of" a kind of LSD (in turn, this street name of the drug was borrowed from the brand of washing powder "Blue hello "To the company Procter & Gamble). Blue Cheer became one of the leading groups of the Californian psychedelic scene, but differed from other members of its line with heavier sound and radical experiments with sound, which was subsequently ranked among the pioneers of acid rock, heavy metal, stoner rock and grunge. Jim Morrison of The Doors called Blue Cheer "the most powerful band I've ever seen." The group enjoyed success, and even reached the point where it was played by "Pink Floyd". Soon there was also the first album, "Vincebus Eruptum", which became the most commercially successful release of the band. The record immediately hit the TOP-10 of the American charts. For the ensuing tour, the keyboard player Ralph Burns Kellogg took part. The second album, Outsideinside (Philips Records, 1968) was divided into two parts: after the studio monitors went out of order because of excessive loudness, the musicians had to get out into the air. The "Outside" was recorded in the warehouses of New York and Sacramento, the Inside in the usual studio sessions, with the same producer Abe 'Voco' Kesh. The group only slightly reduced the power of the sound pressure by expanding the internal sound spaces - thanks to the work of keyboardist Ralph 'Burns' Kellog (Ralph 'Burns' Kellog), who moved from the San Francisco blues band Mint Tattoo. The final track "Come And Get In" critics is considered to be the first example of speed metal in the history of rock. The album climbed to number 90 on the Billboard lists. The band supported the album with an extremely risky tour, which Stevens later called "frightening and dangerous." Each concert ended with the complete destruction of instruments, which enthusiastically met the audience. Guitarist Lee Stevens recalled: - One day my guitar fell on the viewer's head, the second time the spectator was injured with a plate ... Yes, and during the songs, I often stopped, thinking: oh, what's going on? Violence was transferred to both rehearsal rooms and in the studio. I knew that I was losing my mind. No one could stop this chain reaction. Everything is out of control.
