Thanks, Always love BOC. To think there is a restored version. is awsome. Thanks Guys. ❤ ty for the hard work. Even after my heart surgery I never gave up. Cause all this music I played at Victoria Hospital while recovering gave me hope. Love you all. ty. ❤
@@sKraat528 Bro, Blue Oyster Cult, Bad Company, and the Eagles ruled so much back in my day, but the even better thing was, the 1970s ruled all music.✌🏻🏈😎🇺🇸🎸
I really love this song but in spite of denials it's really about suicide, just listen to the lyrics. That does not upset me, it's really great lyrically, suicide is part of our existence. Who hasn't felt like ending it sometime.
@@leesulkowski6238 it's not about suicide, it's a about accepting your own mortal condition. A lot of people have that fear, not knowing what awaits them after death, but this song says you don't have to be afraid of death, you need to live your life without thinking about what is going to happen in the end, because that's the only way you can be happy, "Seasons don't fear the reaper, nor do the wind, or the sun, or the rain, we can be like they are, cmon baby don't fear the reaper".

Love it! The world has gone crazy, accumulating "stuff" blowing each other up, killing the planet, at the end of it, we are here then we go somewhere else. They don't put pockets in shrouds. Learn, love, protect the planet, Oh and have a good time too!
That solo at the end almost brought me to tears. Ive been a fan of this song for year but never heard this live version. The respect I have for this band!
Yes! This beautiful outro solo is underrated even by some BOC fans. It has speed, tone and melody that are nearly matchless. My favorite live version of Reaper.
It’s on the ETI live album. It seems like the guy who produced this video probably meshed the video and that recording together (even though that doesn’t fit his description).
Donald Buck DHarma Roeser rare footage of him playing his 1968 white Gibson SG Custom. He played this guitar on the first two BOC studio albums in 1972,1973 on Tyrannie & Mutation.
I've seen them live several times over the years, going back to THIS tour as a matter of fact. They are a PHENOMENAL live band, solid musicians all around. They're still touring, I saw them in Kansas City a few months back, and this song still kills live. BÖC, on tour forever.
My brother passed away today at the age of 63. This song makes me think of when we were young and he would take me for a ride in his Barracuda. RIP big brother
Rick, nice catch. It's tough to get past the mastery and beauty of Buck's guitar playing here, but you are so correct on Joe's bass work. It is clear, precise and driving all the way through. His backing vocals are superb on this as well. BOC
Many years ago, I dated a girl who was a pot head, mainly because her parents were old hippies and her mom was her supplier…I was told. But when this song came on, she’d say, “don’t fear the reefer!”
I cooked for these guys for a week. They were recording and the studio mom had been fired and I was the only one there who could cook. They were super nice and appreciative. I don't think anyones loved my cooking so much in my life. it was only three of them.
This song reminds me of mine and my brothers child hood.... we had a massive falling out many many years ago and we were out at a family gathering and this song came on and we both burst into tears and hugged each other and all was forgotten.... this song will always have a place in my heart....
Love this song so much- no doubt they tired of playing it (I've heard it thousands of times never tire of it tho) but- speeding it up so much hurts to hear. Otherwise great sound.
I saw them at the Golden Summer Night festival in Germany in 73 while stationed there. They had this gigantic PA system with speakers all around the crowd. When they did Godzilla, the intro was this rumbling thunder sounding footsteps that sounded like it was coming from behind and someone in the band said in a wicked voice "Something very large is heading our way". What a great band that night along with Ted Nugent, Manfred Mann, and others.
You bet! Everyone loved them for the new sound they had. The girls in my high school were crazy about them. If you drove your van or car downtown and had Don't Fear The Reaper blasting, you were cool. I miss those days. I enlisted in the military shortly after and found that they were certainly liked by many in other countries.@@mpicewe3023
I saw these guys in person like a decade ago and they did a huge solo for Last Days of May. If I still remember it, then it was a memorable experience baby
The robot voice at the beginning is awesome! BÖC has such a cool, mystical vibe to their songs. Plus, it is a crime that Buck Dharma is such an underrated guitarist.
Listen for the last note of the solo, it holds until the second line of the next verse. You can hear it steady through the hook at he beginning of that final verse, then drop out right before the line "came the last night of sadness". Its hypnotic yet you dont even realize you're hearing it until you listen for it. Once you hear it, you'll hear it forever. A subtle touch but an integral part of the song's mesmerizing quality.
I love the way Buck takes already "awesome" songs to even higher levels with his seamless live extended solos - here, on Veteran of the Psychic Wars, Astronomy (Some Enchanted Evening version), and Last Days of May... just to name a few. The guy is "SO" underrated, even among most who would consider themselves rock fans.
I was discovering BOC, Rush, Genesis...etc all at the same time. Right around the time this concert came out (early 80's). Mind-blowing!!! This entire show can be bought on CD (or MP3 these days!) as Extra Terrestrial Live. Get it!
Yes although very different I think a lot of people can appreciate Rush & Blue Oyster Cult .. inventive/imaginative songwriters & great musicians all ........
Sounds awesome...this is about the same time my brother, Mike, saw Blue Oyster Cult in concert - one of our all time fave bands. He always said it was the loudest concert he had ever been to and his ears rang for 3 days....R.I.P. Mike and you will always live on in the music that I listen to my brother.
+Julie Wortham - R.I.P. also for my brother, Rick, who said the same thing when I dragged him and our youngest brother and had prime location for the sound to get funneled into our ears.
Yep...have seen them many times since the mid seventies. They are always loud. The loudest concert we saw them play was in one of our closed department stores. Strange place for a concert.We even took my then seventy year old mother to one of their concerts because she wanted to go. My late husband and I have been friends with the band since the early eighties.
this song gives me the heebie jeebies when i listen to it at night, just the fact that he's singing about death so calming makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up
Last live concert for me, this song was done much better in 79 they had a lazor light show. Damm i cant believe that was mu last live concert, sht i was only 25.you know i had to give this a little thought and it was actually 77 and iwas only 23. Damm brothers and sisters life moves much to quick
I attended this concert at the Hollywood Sportatorium in October 1981 while I was still living in South FL and attending Florida Atlantic University. It was a GREAT concert. Long LIVE Rock n' Roll !!
I was at this show! I was 19. One of my best concerts ever. This live version is the best, in my opinion. Stellar guitar solo from Buck (my all-time guitar hero).
BOC is something special in my book. One of my favourite bands. Whereas other bands in the early days of “heavy metal” pushed the sonic levels more, BOC retained a more subtle approach with an emphasis in the eerie and atmospheric-heavily influenced by the conceptual input of Sandy Pearlman and others and the band’s psychedelic roots. To me they created a catalog far more intriguing and varied than any other band
So next year Blue Öyster Cult is coming to where I live and I plan to see them live which will become a dream to me I never thought I would see them live ever since I’m only 18 and they are up there in their 70’s and wouldn’t think they would play live again I’m ready for this
BÖC is one of my favourite bands and certainly the most influencial on my work as a composer / musician. I would love your input on the first video of my first album. It got the attention of one of my heroes Joe Bouchard (ex bass player founding members of BÖC) who is following us on Soundcloud but returns from people who likes same music is always the best. If you have just 3 minutes to listen and a bit more to comment, that would mean the world to me. Keep rockin' : ua-cam.com/video/Pu_p1wbaCa8/v-deo.html and new song ua-cam.com/video/-rJM5HtXMK4/v-deo.html
Thanks. Saw them twice 1978 at Hemmerleinhalle near Nuremberg Germany and 1981/08/16 at Zeppelinfeld Nuremberg with Motörhead, Iron Maiden, Kansas, Blackfoot, 38 Special, Foreigner. If I remember correctly, one of them entered the Zeppelinfeld stage 1981 by motorcycle.
Yeah, Buck was firing on all cylinders at this concert. I too love the sweet tones and notes he finds in this outro. It should be as famous as Stairway to Heaven.
Whitford St. Holmes + Foghat + BOC. What memories from the old Hollywood Sportatorium. Enjoyed this show with my future wife, now 33 years strong together. We made it out alive! 🤘 rock on!
Ahhhhh maaaaate🌪🌪🌪 How awesome is this tune! Always loved this tune but the first time hearing this live performance, One of the best bands & tunes of all time! & absolutely Buck Dharma is one of the best, if not the best guitarist of all time, what an epic showcase! That is immense! Love it! Thank you Blue Öyster Cult🙏🏼God bless💫

And this is why rock music will never die. Rock music does not fear the reaper.
Jorge Fuentes That's good.
Kellen Rist Good indeed.
But it needs more cowbell, doesn't it?
Luiz Gustavo Souza It's perfect as is.
Kellen Rist , I Agree!!!
Don't fear the reaper and sultans of swing are the two songs with the most characteristic and mind blowing melody that you can't stop listening.
That sultans of swing isn't swung always makes me chuckle
You chose two classics. Now consider “Shooting Shark’, and “Skateaway”.
Hot take Buck Dharma > Mark Knopfler

I really love this song but in spite of denials it's really about suicide, just listen to the lyrics. That does not upset me, it's really great lyrically, suicide is part of our existence. Who hasn't felt like ending it sometime.
Wrong Lee. But I get sick of explaining why it's NOT about suicide. Another time maybe.
check on Wikipedia to why that’s completely untrue
@@leesulkowski6238 it's not about suicide, it's a about accepting your own mortal condition.
A lot of people have that fear, not knowing what awaits them after death, but this song says you don't have to be afraid of death, you need to live your life without thinking about what is going to happen in the end, because that's the only way you can be happy, "Seasons don't fear the reaper, nor do the wind, or the sun, or the rain, we can be like they are, cmon baby don't fear the reaper". Buck wrote that song because he was diagnosed with some irregular heart activities, and that made him think about his own mortality, How he could die at any moment, and how he could have died at a young age.
And it also talks about eternity, like when the song says "Valentine is done, here but now they're gone", or when the song talk about "Romeo and Juliet", that part is not actualy emphaciszing the fact that Juliet commited suicide, but the fact that she had faith that her love would be waiting for her in the afterlife, a thing Buck was also thinking when he wrote the song.
It really is the best I keep coming back to listen to it for years now
This song has always kept me in a freaked out state
Absolutely the best recording of this song that I have found. It's a keeper...
Smoking. Because the band is on fire!
You can hear every note of that clean solo. It's a real solo not a dist mess.
I just miss the cowbell on this one.
Are you still alive after 4 years?
Gotta agree 100%
Don't fear the Reaper.
I want this on my tombstone.
Lukiel666 its my ri g tone for 15 yeard
This song will be played at my funeral.
Love it! The world has gone crazy, accumulating "stuff" blowing each other up, killing the planet, at the end of it, we are here then we go somewhere else. They don't put pockets in shrouds. Learn, love, protect the planet, Oh and have a good time too!
I told my wife the same thing
I'll have Burning For You on my urn
That solo at the end almost brought me to tears. Ive been a fan of this song for year but never heard this live version. The respect I have for this band!
Yes! This beautiful outro solo is underrated even by some BOC fans. It has speed, tone and melody that are nearly matchless. My favorite live version of Reaper.

@@RoeserFan1 and also the solo in veteran of the psychic wars
Why do these vocals sound even better live? 😍
And the harmonies though.
But lacks cowbell
its faster and transpolated to higher note. Also Bass is more dominant here.
@@pleasenohate7505 i dont hear any cowbell
Harmony is amazing, was just thinking the same thing.

Donald Buck is quantum. Plus he sings very well on many BOC songs.
My brother passed away today at the age of 63. This song makes me think of when we were young and he would take me for a ride in his Barracuda. RIP big brother

Dharma is one of the most underrated guitarplayers. Listen to "Veterans of a psychic wars". That solo is a religious experience.
Sooo great....hear them playing at monsters of Rock in Kaiserslautern 1983....will never forget these times....
Thin lizzy where there too🥰
Imagine being in the front row for this shit in 1981.
the bassist kicks ass in this version.......great chops

@@RoeserFan1я могу сказать это самое лучше- бэк вокал Джо
Yes
The bass lines in this song are very beautifuly written, it's more noticeable in the studio version tho.
Despite an obvious lack of appropriate cowbell, this concert is the BEST ROCK CONCERT OF ALL TIME.
It’s missing something.
Buck Darma, just fluid on the guitar. Saw them twice in New Orleans back in late 70's
Many years ago, I dated a girl who was a pot head, mainly because her parents were old hippies and her mom was her supplier…I was told. But when this song came on, she’d say, “don’t fear the reefer!”
😊😊😂😂🤣🤣Briljant.
One of the best live bands of all time. I was fortunate to see them in 1984, what a great show.

Sorry that just seems so weird to me.
Great story.
sounds like alcohol was involved
they nail it here, nice vocals.
Love this song so much- no doubt they tired of playing it (I've heard it thousands of times never tire of it tho) but- speeding it up so much hurts to hear. Otherwise great sound.
Buck had a different voice. Not powerful like Eric, but nasally and soft. Works better at times than others but it seems to work well in this show.
I saw them probably 5 times in the 70"s opening for others, but this is my all time favorite rock song. They killed it live.
The lasers were fucking great too! I always left their shows amazed!
I saw them at the Golden Summer Night festival in Germany in 73 while stationed there. They had this gigantic PA system with speakers all around the crowd.

Laura Andrews listen to his own albums some song called summer night he made some great solo stuff
Same here Laura. The notes, the tones....perfection.

60..love it too!
im 70 and i still fantasize about them..but not in gold sequins :(
The robot voice at the beginning is awesome! BÖC has such a cool, mystical vibe to their songs. Plus, it is a crime that Buck Dharma is such an underrated guitarist.
I had dream about my dad and I'm just wake up and really missed my dad, this is his fav song all the time.
RIP DAD
Sorry for your loss, Carlo. He had excellent taste though.
I'm making my husband a playlist called 'Remember to listen to good music',
including this song of course!
please include Big City Nights. my Pops loved The Scorps! ;-)
This is R O C K ❤ with a bonus lead break at the end 🎉
Had no clue that BOC used to throw down live like this. NASTY.
Either you weren't around in the 70s-80s , or you were living in a cave. Jesus.

One of the best pieces of Rock history ever recorded, unbelievable.
Timing and tuning are unbelievable for a live performance 👏
WOW!! I had no idea that BOC was so freaking awesome! How did I miss them?
Too much Rush and Genesis; not enough Blue Oyster Cult

Nothing wrong with too much Rush tho

First class, its hard to go better than this. Nice work guys.
Seeing Blue Öyster Cult next year on their UK tour!
I can't stop listening to this version
Amazingly satisfying tune. I'll bet BOC never got tired of playing this monster hit.
Gets tired. Still on tour forever.
One of the greatest songs of my youth and of all time ! God am Im glad I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s, This was our music thank god. BOC Rocked it !
Until you cum, until then
Great version, blazing guitar wizard
Such a brilliant and timeless song 👍🏻👍🏻
The tone that Buck has for this particular set is unmatched
Dang near the same on Some Enchanted Evening-1977 I do believe-listen to the version of Don't Fear the Reaper-recorded at The Omni in Atlanta.
+++the changes are so pronounced and awesome!!!!!
Amazinh song! Amazing solo! Amazing Buck Dharmaa!!!!
My favorite version of this song ever - no better way to improve a classic than to add more guitar solo and crank it up a little the end
Kevin Lawson you’d have to be there to understand. It’s pointless criticizing a song that was recorded live
ToddIsMyName Where did he criticize the song? He literally said that this was he favorite version.
yes good version but some enchanted evening is better
@@toddismyname6652 Are you stupid?
Well... To be fair... You could also add more cowbell

I was not sure a live performance could be as good as the recording but wow!!!!

For about 30 years I have shouted and hailed "Rock'n'roll" at all concerts and festivals. Because Rock is what the music is all about.
Love this song. Listening the day after Thanksgiving 2024 🦃
Heard this song thousands of times. But it never gets old.

Never got into this band,,,but all the planets defianatly aligned when they wrote this song,,One of the all time greats...
That's a shame, because as great as this song is, there is SO much more to BOC.
BOC is something special in my book. One of my favourite bands.

@@thelastperfectman4139 interesting what’s another band that also uses eerie and atmospheric?
Holy shit this is fricken tight man!! awesome vocal chorus, sky high guitars, in your face drums, spanking bass wow.

I don't go for many live albums but this is one of my top 10 favs
1. Frampton comes alive...peter Frampton. one more for/from the road...lynyrd skynyrd and this one are my favorite 3 me thinks

Probably their best sounding live performance...this concert was flawless.
Man they sounded great live !
this entire performance is insane

If I remember correctly, one of them entered the Zeppelinfeld stage 1981 by motorcycle.
From 4.30 on is so incredible what amazing guitar playing!
Have a look for "Veteran of the Psychic Wars live 1981" from the same night ... Buck plays a guitar piece that even blows this gem away ...
Yeah, Buck was firing on all cylinders at this concert. I too love the sweet tones and notes he finds in this outro. It should be as famous as Stairway to Heaven.
Watched it again after seeing your replys it's such brilliant guitar playing! Glad other people recognise this as well.
Whitford St. Holmes + Foghat + BOC.
What memories from the old Hollywood Sportatorium. Enjoyed this show with my future wife, now 33 years strong together. We made it out alive! 🤘 rock on!
Best live version I’ve ever heard
Reminds me ofdire straits what a song that it awesome performance
One of the greatest songs ever !!!!
Wow! Just phenomenal singing and musicianship!
I wish it were 1977, I am in HS, at this concert and stoned out of my mind! But.. that was a long time ago!
I bet it feels like last month..
Why, why as we age do the years go by like minutes?
Love the drumming.
LOVE THESE GUYS --- a huge part of my youth ..., thanks for the 😎 song to live by
