I've seen BOC 7 times now, and they've always been very good. Some folks will kid me with comments like "geez, they're still around?", but to that I say "They've been playing a long time, so they're REALLY GOOD"! This time they played a few songs I haven't heard live before: "Before the kiss, a redcap", "Shooting Shark", and "The Visitor" (I think that was the name, I might have that wrong). They also did "Black Blade", and "Hot Rails to Hell", two of my faves. A few other songs they played were "Godzilla", "Don't Fear the Reaper", and "Burnin' for You", which they've done every time I"ve seen them. If only they would've done "ETI"...
A great show as always from BOC. Great musicians, and the guitar playing of Buck Dharma was incredible! Tons of solos last night. Rudy Sarzo on bass was a treat as well. I miss Allen Lanier, but his replacement, Richie Canstellano, is quite good as well. He had a couple great solos on keyboard and guitar.
If you like guitar driven hard rock, you've gotta see these guys before they call it quits for good.
