B.O.C. Blue Oyster Cult/KS, USA 1986

From the ‘CLUB NINJA’ tour in 1986, which was a turning point for the band for BLUE OYSTER CULT, the sound board sound source that appeared for the first time was released to the surprise of fans! This work is a line sound source directly connected to a mixer that the band seems to have recorded for recording, and was made into a disc directly from a master tape for those involved.It was circuited as an opening act for RUSH for about 3 weeks from April 13th. From the middle of the North American tour, we have recorded the final day of the Wichita, Kansas performance on May 2nd. The sound image of the five people competing on stage, with a realistic contour that makes it seem as if they were playing right in front of you, conveys the quality of this sound board for those involved. , you can enjoy the rare and vivid taste that you can never enjoy in official live works. It is nothing short of surprising that such a live sound source appeared from the “CLUB NINJA” tour, which is already limited in variety! Since its release, “CLUB NINJA” has been unpopular among fans and critics, who say its sophisticated sound is not typical of a band. As you can see by listening to the broadcast sound source from March of the same year recorded on “1986”, their live performances are still heavy and driving, and the sophisticated sound on the album reflects their inherent intellectual ability. He has sharpened the essence of his music, and is presenting a performance that is unique to that time and is comparable to any era. Of course, that high intelligence B.O.C. is still alive and well in this work. From the intro, which features the main theme from the movie “Blade Runner,” the tension gradually increases for both the venue and the listeners. The opening scene, which sublimates into the famous song “Dominance & Submission,” is already cathartic, and has suddenly become a must-see for live shows. The following “Burnin’ For You” gives a strange impression of the keyboard mix at the beginning, but it quickly recovers and there is no problem in listening to the performance. Rather, it is a scene where you can enjoy the sound source directly connected to the mixer. And in “Take Me Away” and “Dancin’ In The Ruins”, you will be able to enjoy the play unique to this period, where the melody drives and appeals to the listener. In the second half of the live performance, the band’s famous songs such as “Godzilla” featuring a drum solo and “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” are played in quick succession, leading the listener to a unique world. That’s why it’s such a shame that the tape ends in the middle of the last “Roadhouse Blues”. A total of 7 songs seems a little small, but B.O.C. at the time also served as the opening act for KISS and OZZY OSBOURNE, and they finished their performance there with almost the same set of 7 songs, so this is probably all the songs on that day. It seems that it is. The recording time is approximately 46 minutes due to restrictions as an opening act, but the overflowing emotion will not fit within the time frame! ★A valuable high-quality soundboard sound source that directly uses original tapes provided by related parties! !
