    Awesome live version, but I think you'll like the studio track even better.

    I don't know what live version you're listening to but this not the album version (which also had a lot of airplay in the 70s) which sounds very very different....

      there`s usually a difference between studio recorded and live recording at a concert ! there`s really not a lot of difference ,I`ve been listening to this song since since 1976 !

    So glad to see you reacting to Blue Oyster Cult.
    BOC is known as "The Intelligent Fan's Hard Rock Band". They don't have many top hits. What they do have are fantastic albums full of deep cuts. I've been a huge fan of theirs since the 70's. This is a band you absolutely want to explore - both studio & live..
    I've seen BOC live 29 times through the 70's & 80's. I can tell you for a fact that guitarist Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser is ranked as a top tier guitarist and highly respected among his peers. I can also tell you the performance you just saw where he made everything look easy is because - for him - he was holding back.
    BOC songs are often about the darker side of fantasy, mythology, & science fiction. They will also at times bring in a bit of tongue-in-cheek humor to their songs as well. They have more than one lead singer, usually lead vocals fall to Eric Bloom.
    I highly recommend you check out the studio cut of "Don't Fear The Reaper" Also - Here is a short list of songs to get you started on your BOC journey:
    'I Love the Night' (studio cut is one of my very favorites)
    'Godzilla'
    'Burnin' for You'
    'Cities on Flame With Rock and Roll'
    'Hot Rails to Hell'
    'ME 262'
    "Flaming Telepaths"
    "Astronomy" (original studio version first please)
    "Mirrors"
    "Unknown Tongue"
    "Veteran of the Psychic Wars"
    "Sinful Love"

    Some of their most popular and some of my favorite songs are: Godzilla, Cities on Flames, Burnin' For You, Joan Crawford, Astronomy, Last Days of May, and E.T.I.

    The album version has more cowbell as it's one of the most popular Saturday Night Live sketches I remember.
    Two late eighties songs that should also be included in BOC's playlists are Dancing in the Ruins and Take Me Away.

    This awesome tune really launched into popular culture after SNL (Saturday Night Live) did a skit featuring this song starring the cast, Jimmy Fallon, Movie Stars Will Ferrell and Christopher Walken. It was back in 2008 I think. Check it out. Also 'Burnin' For You' from 1981. Great tune. Cheers.

You like EPIC guitar solos? Then try this forever song: Veteran of the Psychic Wars (Live at Hollywood Sportatorium, Pembroke Pines, FL - October 1981)

    My favorite band to see live, and also my favorite guitarist. May I recommend Last Days of May performed in Chicago on the summer solstice, June 21, 2002, at the Navy Pier. It features 2 guitar solos, one from Alan Lanier (RIP), and the other from Donald Roeser (Buck Dharma). It also features Buck on vocals as well. You may have to pick your jaw up off the floor after listening to that. They are truly an amazing live band, have seen them 8 times, and was lucky to meet Buck at the last concert I went to. They are still touring today, but with a slightly different line-up. Love your reactions Ola.

    When I hear this song I think of when its played at the beginning of Stephen King's The Stand ( 1994 ) after almost everyone on the planet dies
    Also will farrel playing the cowbell on SNL
    It also appears in an awesome will farrel vs Chad Smith ( red hot chili peppers ) drum-off skit on Jimmy Fallon

    VERY nice live choice, ma'am. From their concert on The Navy Pier, Chicago, 2002. Not many reactors, if any, have reacted to any of this concert. A fan of theirs since 1973, IMO, this particular concert had THE best live version of "Then Came The Last Days Of May". Yes Cult fans, even better than OYFOOYK's version. This one even has an extremely rare guitar solo from Allen, and of course perhaps one of the best live solos from Buck.

    The song was featured in the original "Halloween" movie. The Bouchards, Joe and Albert, the original bassist and drummer from when this song was recorded, are from Northern NY, where I was hatched and weened. The band was originally known as Soft White Underbelly.
