Encore Performance - Just a Little Bit


Just A little Bit first appeared on Blue Cheer's 2nd album of 1968 Outsideinside. It's their second song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at # 92. In 2007, the band re-recorded a more current version of "Just a Little Bit", and it was featured on the album What Doesn't Kill You.
 Rush Drummer Neil Peart added the opening drum beat to Rush's version of "Summertime Blues,"
One of my favorite BC tunes and I frequently play it myself on my guitar and drums. (because it's fun as hell!).
While Vincibus Eruptum was cut in a simple straight forward forum with minimal overdubs, Outsideinside found the band embracing the possibilities of the recording studio.
Basically Blue Cheer decided to see how much polish they could add to their formula without the skull-crushing force of their live attack. This can not be said, however, of their 2007 version which finds them brutal as ever.

1968 version

2007 version

I feel a good sensation
And I been lifted child by your soul creation
Don't you stop just to look away
I want you to listen, child, to what I say

Don't you drift away too far
Out out of sad times, of just exactly where you are
'Cause it's just too much the way I feel
I just can't believe that it's so for real

You have a strange desire 
When you walk across the ground
Then you set the Earth on fire

I feel a good sensation
And I've been lifted, child, by your soul creation
Don't you stop just to look away
I want you to listen, child, to what I say

C'mon, c'mon , won't you please, just a little bit
Won't you please, just a little bit closer

C'mon,
 C'mon,
 C'mon





Live
