One of the first things I saw on the internet this morning was a flyer for this gig. SSD played too, and Al Barile from SSD passed away yesterday...Al seemed like a really good dude. Pretty sure I posted this show (or a part of it?) years ago, but why wouldn't you want to listen again?

BLUE CHEER
artist: BLUE CHEER (San Francisco, California, USA)
venue: ??
location: San Francisco // Los Angeles, California, USA
date: 1968
length: 28 minutes
HERE
First eleven minute track has the vocals mixed almost completely out and is super drum forward - which makes for a listening experience that is as awesome as it is annoying. Presumably this one is from SF but I'm not sure and someone on the internet is bound to (welcome to) correct me. The next three cuts have a way hotter mix and the vocals are straight fire and maybe these are from LA but also maybe not all from the same show even though the tape says they are. Damn BLUE CHEER ruled.

THE IDOLS
venue: Max's Kansas City
location: New York City, New York, USA
length: 19 minutes
For those (like me) who didn't already know, THE IDOLS were a late 1980s NYC blip that featured a pre-LONDON COWBOYS Barry Jones and Steve Dior along with Jerry Nolan (NY DOLLS, HEARTBREAKERS) and Arthur Kane (NY DOLLS, CORPSE GRINDERS), though they were likely more famous as the backing band on for 'Sid Sings'-era Sid Vicious.
