    Thanks for this clip. Blue Oyster Cult are an American Treasure. Totally original and groundbreaking in every aspect of their music. Way ahead of the pack. Buck is simply the Greatest. NOBODY comes close to his virtuosity and melodic playing.
    This band is timeless.

      It is a shame, that is for sure. Add in his composing and singing skills, and Buck gets my vote for greatest rock n roll musician of the last 50 years. Yet only an enlightened few know who he is.

    The extra verse is:
    "Now I never rise until the sun falls,
    and my vision knows no walls.
    I'm looking for ladies walking alone.
    They forget the day, when they hear me say
    I Love The Night."

    I saw them a several times but they never played this live when I saw them! Ahhh, BOC! Straight ahead 70s rock pre-PC sensorship when rock was loud but eclectic, cars loud & fast, you could tell a girl she was hot (or a fox!) and not be considered an "attack on women", we worked hard, earned our way & played even harder! Thanks for sharing this killer clip. Peace out my felloe Rock & Roll refugees!

    The first time I heard BOC was in 72 when my friend bought their first album because of the artwork. We listened to the whole album and I was hooked. The vocals and the guitars was what got me. I've been their fan ever since. They just get better but the first album will always be my favorite. They are unique.

    BOC is the most talented American rock band bar none. Buck is the best American guitarist. They (the original line up with the Bouchard brothers) could more than hold their own against anyone. Certainly the most unique band and they excelled at any type of rock n roll they recorded. Never really made a bad album. Should be in the R&RHOF because they are totally what rock n roll is about.

  • @clifftucker1687
    @clifftucker1687 8 років тому +48

    A close listen reveals that this song is about a man who is bitten by a female vampire and turned into one: "Her kiss that night told me it was over" (his life), "One look in the mirror told me so" (he couldn't see his reflection, a sure sign that he's a vampire).

    • @pault151
      @pault151 6 років тому +5

      cliff tucker, the way I read it was that another lover told him that their relationship was over, and while out grieving that, the lady in white came to him and started the initiation/seduction into the vampire way (you can't really call it "life" ;-) While he was with her he looked in the mirror and the lady in white had no reflection.
      This version is notable in that it has the extra verse not shown on the BÖC website that includes "my vision knows no walls". It's a pleasurable shock to hear an old familiar song with a wonderful "new" add-in! Just saw BÖC a couple of months ago in Paso Robles, despite it being 'just' a county fair the staging and sound were very very good and the show quite enjoyable.
      "Missing" verse (Albert was quoted that they made Buck leave it off the studio album):
      Now I never rise until the sun falls
      And my vision knows no walls
      And I'm looking for ladies walking alone
      They regret the day when they hear me say...

    • @tracybledsoe6007
      @tracybledsoe6007 6 років тому +3

      You know it's a about a vampire when it says "I live to see those rays drift away" meaning she can't wait until the sun rays dissapear i.e. the Sun to set so she can come out.

    Six shows live in two states for me and I've never seen this song played. What kills me is I missed this show and 4th and B is in my freaking home town.
    A friend who goes to a lot of BOC shows with me complains we can never hear many of their songs live because they are addicted to turning EVERY song performed live into a ten to twenty minute "jam" so at the end of the show you've only heard ten songs or less. Kinda true.
    Anyway, great song and my wife's favourite BOC tune.
