Rampdog Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Nice clips Doc... That Strat sounded awful thin on the last Summertime Blues... Just didn't have the balls like I'm used to hearing from Pete... If it ain't fun...why do it...? http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=778394&content=music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something about them that I have always loved. Brian Setzer does a pretty cool version, too.

Hardtail Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 I like the Brian Setzer version since he's keeps true to Eddie Cochran's version. And I love the sound of that big ol' Gretsch! I think he played Eddie Cochran either in La Bamba or The Buddy Holly story. I can't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPCustom Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 I really like Brian Setzer's version. That Gretsch sounds terrific (especially on Mystery Train). But Lee's right, Rush nailed it. Brian Setzer played Eddie Cochran in La Bamba. Lou Diamond Philips played Richie Valens. Born on the Bayou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush does nail Summertime Blues. They must like The Who....they've played this song on each of the last two tours. I actually could not find a good video of The Who doing Summertime Blues on YouTube. I agree with Ramp, that Pete playing that Strat sounded very thin. He went to SG's shortly after that Vid was filmed. My all time favorite version of Summertime Blues is on "Live At Leeds"......a veritable power statement. Here's another vid of Rush doing The Who's "The Seeker".

paully Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Don, Thanks for the old Cochran vid. You answered a question that's haunted me for lo these many years. When I tried to learn Summertime Blues(from the record-long before vids), the opening passage had to be played in F if the guitar was playing it. In the vid, he's playing in E, and it's the bass player doing the recurring line. Now it all makes sense, and I can get some sleep . Best, Paul WUDAYAKNOW.. For the first time in my life, I'm wrong again!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
