Three Giants, One Tour - Live in Germany in 1992

Back in 1992 three iconic bands of Rock n Roll history were separately touring Europe and Germany at the same time: BLUE CHEER (who lived in Germany then), MOUNTAIN and THE OUTLAWS.
Their European tour promoter Roland Hofmann, yours truly, had the idea to combine all three of them for five stellar nights in Germany: Munich, Cologne, Bremen, Mainz and Neumarkt (near Nuremberg). The shows were an overwhelming success.
So we have been trying to dig up recordings of this one Neumarkt show … for a good reason. As there, and only there and only once that audience was blessed to see a unique and never to be repeated event: there in Neumarkt/Bavaria and only there, one of the greatest Rock guitarists of all times joined the legendary OUTLAWS and Southern Rock legend Hughie Thomasson on stage to jam out on „Ghostriders“.
We finally succeeded in finding a pretty poor quality crowd recording of this show. We took it to one of the very best mastering engineers in Europe, Eroc Ehrig, to restore it … and Eroc did magic, and now you can hear proper fantastic recordings of BLUE CHEER’S, MOUNTAIN’S and THE OUTLAWS‘ sets.

So here are BLUE CHEER with an orgiastic speed and noise set as they were known for in the old days: BIG NOISE! They focussed mainly on material from their "Nibelung Records" releases "Highlights & Lowlives" and "Dining with the Sharks", yet embedding their iconic songs "Out of Focus", "Parchman Farm" and "Summertime Blues" in a breathtaking medley around "Sweet Child of the Reeperbahn". The audience went completely berzerk.

So that night the approx. 1,400 in the audience saw a stellar and unique performance, with the bands‘ crews and MOUNTAIN and OUTLAWS standing by flabbergasted and enthused.

BLUE CHEER line-up:
Dickie Peterson - bass, voc.
Paul Whaley - drums
DeeDee Saller - guitars

Very special thanks go to Norbert Mendel for giving us his tapes, to our brother Mickey Mulcahy, who was instrumental for this project and, last but not least, mastering genius Eroc Ehrig.
