B.O.C. Blue Oyster Cult/MD,USA 1976

B.O.C., which released the band’s first official live album “ON YOUR FEET OR ON YOUR KNEES” in February 1975, continued to perform live in conjunction with the release of “SECRET TREATIES”, and after the tour ended at the end of January 1976. , will begin production on their 4th album. The band resumed touring with the release of the “AGENTS OF FORTUNE” album in May, and at this time also energetically toured various parts of the United States, showing fans a fulfilling live performance until the following year, 1977. This work captures the peak of that ’76 tour with the finest professional shot footage. You can enjoy over 80 minutes of the Maryland Land Rover’s “Capital Center” performance on December 27, 1976, featuring URIAH HEEP as the opening act! The band was introduced by the opening announcement familiar to fans, and the appearance of the band appearing with the explosion of pyro was suddenly impressive. The multi-camera professional shot has perfect image and sound quality, and the sharp outlines of the people and vivid, natural colors give you a sense of the freshness of the master. The contrast between the frontmen is also very clear when you watch the video, with Eric Bloom wearing a black leather jacket reminiscent of a New York biker, and Donald “Buck Dharma” Loser wearing a white suit and giving off an intellectual mood. This visually helps us understand the chaotic world view presented by the band. “Stairway To The Stars” and “Harvester Of Eyes” where these two performers play the main role, and “Cities On Flame With Rock’N’Roll”, which is synonymous with the band, attract fans to the screen from the beginning of the live performance. I’ll nail it! Furthermore, the highlight of the first half is the “SECRET TREATIES” part, which is played in medley format with “Me 262”, “Dominance And Submission”, and “Astronomy”. The dynamic “Me 262,” the lively “Dominance And Submission,” and the melodious and mysterious “Astronomy” all encapsulate the band’s flavor. Although B.O.C. does not have so-called “guitar heroes” or “rock stars,” the musical sounds that can be heard in an ensemble that has a strong sense of unity and an unparalleled unique world view are undoubtedly attractive. is. The heavy “E.T.I.”, the lightness of “Buck’s Boogie”, and the flowing “This Ain’t The Summer Of Love”, which unfolds in the middle of the live performance, remind us of the band’s performance ability. “5 Guitar”, which is led by Joe Bouchard’s bass solo, is even more interesting when you watch it on video! It was hard to tell from the sound source that the five members were playing guitar side by side, but you’ll be surprised to see them doing this on stage! From the standard song of the time, “Born To Be Wild,” to “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper,” which is already a masterpiece, the songs disappear in the blink of an eye as you stare at the screen. Please enjoy the essence of B.O.C. live in the mid-’70s with the definitive sound source “LIVE IN THE WEST 1975: DEFINITIVE EDITION”! This is a must-see for all B.O.C. fans, with an original menu and approximately 85 minutes of professional shots! Live at Capital Center, Landover, MD, USA 27th December 1976 PRO-SHOT 1.
