Gross.

Ack, that's supposed to be "Where's My Thing," not "Leave That Thing Alone." Not a fan of the latter.

I've been listening to a lot of Blue Oyster Cult, lately, and Al Bouchard is damn good.

Ramble Tamble!

I've found some clips from that concert on Youtube! The original five closed out the night with "Career of Evil," "The Red & the Black," and "(Don't Fear) the Reaper." Before that they had Allen Lanier up on the stage to help perform "In Thee."

Yeah, I've decided to give all of their post-Fire of Unknown Origin albums a chance. Been hearing lots of good things about them, lately.

Anthem, particularly those octave power chords and the ascending line between them.

Speaking as someone who has only lived in North America, I much prefer British music when it comes to rock bands. They seem so much more adventurous. We've got Rush, the Doors, Talking Heads, Blue Oyster Cult, Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane and the Beach Boys, but the Brits produced the Beatles, Stones, Who, Zep, Floyd, Sabbath, Queen, Deep Purple, Yes, Moody Blues, King Crimson, Clash, Radiohead, and the list goes on and on.

More and more I'm realizing how fortunate I was to witness that 40th anniversary concert. The original five hadn't played together in something like 27 years. Allen Lanier was dead less than a year later.

Tangled Up in Blue. And I love the simplicity of Knockin' On Heaven's Door.

Vote, pj! :cheers:

Wasn't that the night the subway flooded & the city had blackouts? Super Storm Sandy hit October 29, 2012. The concert was November 5th, so, yeah, the city was still reeling from the effects of that storm. Didn't stop me, though! Looking this up, I now remember that it was the Best Buy Theater in NYC.

I love the debut. So much great stuff. "Beautiful as a Foot" is so gorgeous, musically, that I can't help wishing it had different lyrics, though. Another favorite is "Before the Kiss, a Redcap." Reminds me of a more upbeat Grateful Dead.

Just gave that a listen. Ouch. I was wondering why Between the Wheels was included in the R40 set list. Maybe that's why.

I highly recommend their third album, Secret Treaties.

I've got the first four albums, plus On Your Feet Or On Your Knees (live album), Cultosaurus Erectus and Fire of Unknown Origin. I should pick up Spectres and Mirrors so I'll have the original group's entire run.

They really do. Richie Castellano is a phenomenal player. Hearing him trade guitar solos with Buck Dharma is thrilling.

Mystic Rhythms

I saw them in NYC for their 40th anniversary concert. The original band played three songs to close the night! It was amazing, but I was shocked at how few were in attendance. I think the venue was the House of Blues. Definitely in Manhattan. And there probably wasn't even 200 people there. I walked up to the ticket both, thinking it was probably sold out, because NYC! Blue Oyster Cult! All five original members back together for the first time in many years! I ended up with a fifth row ticket a mere 30 minutes before the concert was scheduled to start. That's not because that ticket was just released, it's just that the concert was that badly undersold. Still amazes me. In their own hometown!

"Working Man" and "Superconductor."

It seems rosacea is more likely.

That's filthy.

I recently picked Cinderella Man over The Trees in a poll. Hmmmm...
