      I'm 65 years old and have been to at least 15 blue oyster cult concerts. The first time was in my high school graduation party. I saw them in 1989 with black Sabbath the cult played first they played (The last days of May) for the encore!!!! Then Ozzy came out and Sabbath bloody Sabbath.... The crowd bood them off the stage!!!!!! The cult came out and played another show!!!! I saw them in Baltimore with Uriah heep and stepenwolf... That's right... ROCK & ROLL.....

    No matter how many times i listen to that solo , just gotta here it one more time . Like a cook in a kitchen , recipe for success , full of flavor . Think we all lived off the 3 chord combo meals back in the day . Foundation of the greatest rock tunes ever made . Still wrestling on whether D C G or Am G F holds top spot ? So many outstanding compositions created from both . Today i go with the latter

This song like this band is very underrated . I saw them in Tampa Fl . on halloween night playing in the street . I was standing no more than 10 feet away . It was killer . Great song .Great band .
