just got home from seeing Blue Oyster Cult in Tacoma WA

Great Show! Opened with The Red and the Black, played The Last Days of May, did not play Dominance and Submission, but did play Hot Rails to Hell for the first time in about a billion years.

I need more Cowbell!!

I must be getting old, getting home from a show not stumbling drunk!!!!

Very Good Night!

:thumbsup: :headbang: :toast:

1. Wow!

I saw BOC when I was about 17 or 18. Loved it. But I was so young and naive then that "Don't Fear the Reaper" scared the crap out of me.

5. Did they play "Astronomy"? "Cities on Flame" with all the band on guitar?

I saw them several times during the 70's and loved them.
Actually met Don "Buck Dharma" Roeser at The "Paradise" in Boston, 1978. He was sitting alone at a table with an open seat, watching Willie Alexander and the Boom, Boom Band. I didnt know it was him at first and needing a seat asked if I could sit there. He said OK. After a while I noticed it was him and asked if he was. He said "What do you think" and winked. We shared the table the rest of the show. He is a really nice guy.
Is he still with the band?

6. No Astronomy (which is one of my favorite BOC songs)

no five guitars, but they did do Cities. Cool story about Don. Don, Alan Lanier and Eric Bloom are all still rocking BOC. The last I remember hearing about the Bouchard brothers (original bass and drums) is that they had a band called the Brain Surgeons.

Interesting crowd, mostly older folks (like myself) plus quite a few youngsters that are into BOC.
