How could I...???
Still, in defense, the Who's version on Live at Leeds helped get it, if I'm not mistaken again, Rolling Stones' "best Rock and Roll album ever" review (or "best live" or "one of the ten best" or something like that) back in the day, and is hardly a shabby cover...
Thanks for the correction!!.
As for the previous poster's note about the "contact us" link, there is both a "feedback" and "contact us" link on the first NBC page, and "feedback" at least in my case, caught the eye first. And even when I clicked on "contact us," the most obvious thing on THAT page also took you to the survey. It was: "Want to voice your opinions...." (on NBC shows)?
In order to send an actual note, I had to click on "Questions not found on FAQ page about NBC Entertainment programming? Email us using the pulldown menu below:" Then I had to select A show -- I chose Heroes as I figured it was one of the most downloaded and finally got to give 'em an earful.
I'm more than a little embarrased here. I cut my R&R teeth on "Rock around the clock," and probably had original disc of Summertime Blues you mentioned, plus I reviewed a Blue Cheer concert where they played the way amped up version for a local hippie rag at the time. I seem to recall writing something like, "Blue Cheer is to music what a sledgehammer is to a nail. They get the job done in whomping good fashion, with joyfully aggressive overkill.""I called my congressman
and he said, quote
'I'd like to help you son
but you're too young to vote.'"
--The Who
(Summertime blues)
Yes the Who covered it but is was written by Eddie Cochran and Jerry Capehart. Originally recorded by Eddie Cichran and still the best version. Although Blue Cheer's version is a great first Heavy Metal Psychedelic triumph!
