Blue Öyster Cult – 50th Anniversary Live – First Night

Discover the new live album celebrating Blue Öyster Cult’s half-century. The group performs its first album in full.

Against all odds, the blue oyster remains stuck to its rock. To celebrate their 50 years of camaraderie and rock’n’roll, Eric Bloom and Buck Dharma, guitarists and singers of Blue Öyster Cult, immortalize three concerts given in New York especially for the occasion.

During the first, which is discussed in this album, the group chose to perform its first opus in full, allowing fans to appreciate both the lyricism of “Then Came the Last Days of May” and the power of “Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll”.

To round it all off, a best of of songs drawn from all eras then arrives, from the hard rock of “Godzilla” to the FM incursions of “Dancin’ in the Ruins”. Whatever the bottle, the intoxication of talent and finesse remains the same.
