They are probably the best band I have seen live.

BOC really don`t get that much of a mention on these threads which is a shame given just how great that band was in the 1970s. They emerged as an American answer to Black Sabbath, but in reality their sound was quite different and their early following largely came from bikers who quickly identified with the band and their unique mix of hard rock and heavy metal. At times their sound was often dense and complex, something though that could`ve done with better production or remastering on those early albums. IMO this band take a lot of listens to really appreciate their sound and their first three studio albums Blue Oyster Cult, Tyranny and Mutation and Secret Treaties and the live On Your Feet Or On Your Knees are absolute hard rock classics.

Hit and miss but astounding at their best:

Their first four albums are amongst the great hard rock albums of all time, in my opinion.
And their late 70's laser light show was one of the best light shows of that time and any since!
And don't forget their earlier recordings as 'The Stalk Forrest Group'
Great stuff!

There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that.
