Favorite moment: Hearing "Stone of Love" live; I think the band has only started playing it in concert during this tour. @

Setlist: I probably can't remember them all..."The Red and the Black," "Before the Kiss (a Redcap)," "Buck's Boogie," "ME 262," "(Then Came) The Last Days of May," "The Vigil," "Black Blade," "Stone of Love," "Shooting Shark," "Burnin' for You," "(Don't Fear) The Reaper," "Hot Rails to Hell" @

Featured Review

I probably saw Blue Oyster Cult live for the first time in about 1976, and, ever since, I never miss an opportunity to catch them.

I have to say...last night's show was one of the strongest I've seen from these guys in quite some time. It's always a little sad to see Eric and Buck up there without Alan Lanier, but Richie Castellano is absolutely phenomenal, and brings something special to the lineup. The same can be said for Rudy Sarzo's bass playing.

It seems as though Eric is more and more content to let BOC be Buck's band, and most of the evening's highlights belonged to Buck ("Buck's Boogie," "Stone of Love" "Last Days of May"). Hey, the band has been together for close to four decades now; shifts in the dynamic are inevitable. But, the bottom line is always the same: BOC can still rock with the best of them.

I brought my girlfriend along to this, and it completely brought her over to the side of rock. The band hasnt lost a bit of their spark, and are just as incredible as they always have been. The setting was even better; a lounge-like atmosphere with tables spaced comfortably around the floor, and we ended up at a table directly next to a low ledge from the upper level, with an amazing view of the stage (though the same could be said about pretty much any other table). The service was polite and friendly, as were the people we were sitting near. Basically, an unforgettable show.

Band started good then, seemed to be uninspired. Too much pro New York trash talking.
Doesn't surprise me, though. Very typical of New Yorkers. Love them anyway.
Lame crowd (New Yorkers). After 3 days at Sunfest, I guess you could say "what do
you expect?". Saturday was Molly Hatchet, Foghat and Cheap Trick! So, I guess, I'm
kinda 'rocked out'. But, again, kinda lame. Just going through the motions and hitting
the notes.

Great show. The band still rocks and the energy was high throughout.

Only complaints - show was short at under an hour and a half and the venue should offer general admission tix up front. The artist and the energy would benefit.

First, the Blue Oyster Cult was FANTASTIC, Donald and Eric can still deliver the goods.
The sound mixer could have been better, poor balance between vocals and guitars. A good sound engineer would have known the difference.

The disappointing thing was the lack of professionalism of the Coconut Creek Hard Rock Staff,

They let people smoke marijuana in the crowd, not cool.
Some bald guy with a Napoleon complex made me put my camera away, but did nothing to the people swarming the stage with their cameras. The bald guy with the Napoleon Complex walked away grinning, perhaps the marijuana guy bibed the Seminole Hard Rock Coconut Creek representative with a toke?

Eric and Buck may be getting "up there" in age, but they still know how to rock along side their "junior" fellow band mates, as Blue Oyster Cult delivered a solid performance, replete with numerous guitar shredding solos by both Buck Dharma and Richie Castellano. Old tunes, and a few from the 1980's ("Perfect Water" from "Club Ninja" was the most recent release that they performed, I think), coupled with the favorites that you would expect made for a decent show. Drumming was a little sloppy and weak from a usually strong Jules Radino, but not bad - Kasim Sulton worked the bass fretboard with a lot of energy all night. A band with such a prolific discography can play for a day and still not get to all the songs you'd want to hear, but the selection was solid and the aging crowd seemed to enjoy it. Good show, all in all. Only complaints relate to sound mixing (drums other than the snare were almost inaudible) and the venue seating layout was horrible (not BOC's fault) - the bottom section closest to the stage was open dinner theatre seating, but the upper balconies were tightly packed rectangular cafeteria tables all pointing at the stage, meaning you were always looking through people that you were sandwiched next to in order to get a glimpse of the band. Resorts Casino - c'mon, dudes, there's got to be a better way to lay out seating (or maybe just increase the number of bars and have SRO). Light show was minimal, no lasers or video, and we didnt get to see Eric ride in with a "passenger" on the back of a motorcycle or any stunts like that, so it felt a little more like a bar/small club expereince than the 1000 or so people theatre setup that the venue provided, with the emphasis on musicianship and nailing the songs. Would have liked to hear Dom & Sub, Hot Rails, Quicklime Girl, E.T.I., Heavy Metal, Take Me Away, See You In Black, The Old Gods Return - but then again, it wasn't a 3-hour tour. BOC fans will not be disappointed - and newbies who only know BOC for (Don't Fear) The Reaper, Burnin' For You, and Godzilla will be satisfied.
