@@0patience4flz I know most people would agree with you, but to me the Leeds version just sounds like it rocks so hard. Almost like there's 2 guitars instead of 1. Call me crazy 🤪
There’s some pretty heavy bands out there. Heavy to a fault. Like Death metal. There’s bands like Cattle Decap who make terrifying noise. There really skilled at whatever they’re doing though. It looks really difficult lol
@@oldaccount5217 Yeah!!! But the who started that sound, then orher bands made it heavy, really heavy I listen to some of them bands, not the bands you mentioned.....The who are the Godfathers of metal, and punk
Robert Currie ......the album that changed my ears as fully functional sound gatherers. Would I trade the, all be it mild, tinnitus back for the PURE JOY of blasting my head off ? Too late to worry about it now !
Coming home from frog hunting with my dad at 5am. Got stopped by the train. This was playing. dad turned the truck off and put the ignition on so this could keep playing. My dad was a lot of things and cool was one of them.
Definitely the best version of Summertime Blues ever! Who has been since 1967 and is still my favourite number one! I am still very sad Keith and his big brother John's passing away ... The Who always flows in my veins.
OCTOBER 2020 this song and the LIVE AT LEEDS album is a record in the pages of Rock history of the The Who's live sound at the height of their on stage playing. I'd like to think this album gave them the phrase Tour de Force and Best Live Act, but some may argue that live at Charlton in 1976 earned them it.
Agree with everyone here!!!life changing at a young age for me too!!!can listen to it for hours,endlessly inspiring!!!ABSOLUTE CLASSIC!!!Thanks Pete,Rog,John and last but by no means least the mighty Keith!!!✌🤘
Thanks......Jack Redman blocked me because I "disagreed with him"..Little boy started ragging Daltry etc...I cannot see him on this post anymore but please tell him to grow up and stop pounding his pud in his mamas basement..Thank You...
"Summertime Blues", a song co-written and first recorded by American rockabilly artist Eddie Cochran in 1958, by British rock group the Who, released in 1970 from the album "Live at Leeds." ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yUBy4ZvpaJc.html You can listen to the 1958 recording by Eddie Cochran (1938 - 1960) here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1C38Zevwyx4.html Lyrics: I'm gonna raise a fuss, I'm gonna raise a holler About a-workin' all summer just to try to earn a dollar Every time I call my baby, try to get a date My boss says, "no dice son, you gotta work late" Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues Well, my mom and pop told me, "son, you gotta make some money" If you want to use the car to go ridin' next Sunday Well, I didn't go to work, told the boss I was sick "Well, you can't use the car 'cause you didn't work a lick" Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues I'm gonna take two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations Well, I called my congressman and he said "whoa!" "I'd like to help you son but you're too young to vote" Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
I might be biased but i like Rush's cover more, its heavier and Geddy is louder amd it feels more like Rock or almost metal compared to this. Not sayin this is bad but Rush is just unstoppable
This is the punk version of this track! 😉 I get what your saying.......but the who are the Godfathers of metal and punk.....they created it,other bands just copy that sound and make it there own
That song got a lot of air play in 1970 in my city but the oldie stations NEVER play it anymore. Unless you were alive in '70 you might not know that this awesome Who cover exists. Stupid radio thinks its God ..... The Radio giveth and the Radio taketh away.
You're right. I never knew about this cover until watching the Woodstock film recently. Blown away they covered this. All classic rock stations play the SAME songs over and over again.
In 1970, rock bands had to have at least one song from an album that was AM top 40 radio friendly to broaden exposure. Progressive rock formats were taking off in '70, but very few cars were equipped with FM. In the NYC area, 50% and probably more of the residences didn't own an FM receiver. It was a totally different time.
@frdjr252 I went to Texas in 1972 with my military spouse, AM was the only thing out there. When I returned to the east coast a year later and heard of something called FM radio, it was like Alice through the looking glass and there was no going back. Omg the music. Spirit, Leon Russell, Quicksilver, The Who, Jethro Tull, the list goes on. I'm 70 years old and still play this stuff most every day.
Well, I'm gonna raise a fuss I'm gonna raise a holler 'Bout workin' all summer Just to try to earn a dollar Well, I went to the bossman Tried to get a break But the boss said 'No dice, son, You gotta work late' Sometimes I wonder what am I gonna do 'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues Well, my Mom and Poppa told me Son, you gotta earn some money If you want to use the car To go riding next Sunday Well, I didn't go to work I told the boss I was sick He said 'You can't use the car 'Cause you didn't work a lick' Sometimes I wonder what am I gonna do There ain't no cure for the summertime blues Gonna take two weeks Gonna have a fine vacation Gonna take my problem To the United Nations Well' I went to my congressman He said 'quote' 'I'd like to help you son, But you're too young to vote' Sometimes I wonder what am I gonna do 'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Well said- I was at the recording of the Johnny Winter And at Pirates World in Dania, FL. They played 2 nights with the 2nd night ( Saturday Night ) was when they recorded the Johnny Winter. I consider The Who Live at Leeds the best album of all time whether in the studio or live.
My youngest son is taking me to see The Who this summer - 42 years on since I last saw them live. No Ox, no Moon, and the survivors are not what they were. Still... can't wait.
By me, ahead of Blue Cheer's version and absolutely dynamite. I like Eddie Cochran's original better, though, and EVEN BETTER THAN THAT, Brian Setzer's version, from the movie La Bamba. Check them out.
The Who when they were a "heavy rock" band. You have yo hear "Live At Hull" also. It was recorded one or two days after the Leeds show and the CD was released 6 years ago. Fantástico listening !
The original of this is Amazing....the Who have done some decent stuff...this is not an example of that. Even Rush did a better job of this song then this.
