StanGetz Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 QUOTE (Steevo @ Apr 14 2011, 03:20 AM) The live version of Last Days of May on the Long Day's Night DVD is absolutely jaw-dropping. It almost makes up for the ridiculous omission of Astronomy. I still need to nab Some Enchanted Evening to truly go off though That was a weird release Steevo since Astronomy was on the CD release but not on the DVD while Last Days of May is on the DVD but not the CD That is also true about Flaming Telepaths not being on the CD. I need to learn how to extract audio from a DVD so I can put both of them together. I'm glad that that Rush doesn't do that. Regarding Astronomy, BOC fans like to debate whether this version is better or the one on Some Enchanted Evening. Most people prefer SEE which I would assume because Joe and Albert were there. Both are great but I might actually prefer the LDN vesion since the Buck solo is a little longer. More Buck = More Awesomeness I'll be right in front of Buck in Las Vegas on 11/18. I hope he doesn't pee on me but I would have to take it just like if Geddy or Alex did it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's outstanding. It's too bad that the hurricane inteferred with the 40th anniversary show last week. They are playing again on Monday, 11/5. I really wish that I could attend since Albert, Joe, and Allen are all supposed to appear as special guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micgtr71 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I've seen BOC a dozen or so times. They are one of my favorite bands. The first album gets a lot of play at my house. Also, Cultosaurus Erectus is a fantastic album. Ditto Mirrors...Gonna listen to BOC today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fritz44 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Never one of my favourite bands, but loved the live album in the early/mid 80's - Some Enchanted Evening. Some of the recording was from a gig at Newcastle, but like a tit I didn'tgo. The only live album I've ever appeared on was Blackfoot's Highway Star, as part of the Howay the Lads at the end, but that's a different thread. Back on track, I always liked the B-side to Reaper which was RU Ready to Rock.by BOC I only have a greatest hits CD, which isn't great, but I'm always tempted to buy Secret Treaties (great cover of the band beside the Messerschmitt 262). How can one band have two great names - BOC and Soft White Underbelly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're much more than a hits band, do yourself a favour and check out the Martin Birch stuff, especially Fire of Unknown Origin. Classic stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birch really infused the rock element but still retains the 'Cult quirk we're all familiar with, great blend. Give it a shot, I would be surprised if you disagree. Let me know. It's up on YT if you wanna sample. Edited November 5, 2012 by Steevo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enemy Within 77 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Since the 40th anniversary show I've been on a huge BOC kick. Haven't listened to them for too long, I almost forgot how amazing they are! To think that Eric Bloom is almost 68 is amazing- the guy is still touring like crazy and kicking ass, and Buck is the most underrated guitar genius ever!!!!
