Adam Priest Still in their 20 most-played ever, per Setlist.fm, but yeah…in mothballs since '03. The only other one of the Top 20 they haven't done on this tour is "Stairway to the Stars", and that was played in '08, at least.
Take Me Away and Stairway are 2 of my favorites ever! They PROBABLY will never do either again( sadly) because Eric cannot sing either.. Listen to Joan Crawford at one of the last shows. He is really struggling.. Bloom last sang GREAT in 2001 and has struggled since. Due to this obstacle in setlist planning, the Boysters should have refreshed the setlists with more rare " Buck tunes". They have not unfortunately..
+Adam Priest I saw them a couple weeks ago. And Eric was sounding pretty strong. They did Cities on Flame and the Red and the Black with Eric on vocals. Sounded pretty awesome.
+elf man Dude, that was a hologram Eric Bloom in concert. He has been living in the south of France since 1990. The Coneheads invited him to visit and he stayed there. "C'mon. Take Me Away"
Have you ever heard their early songs when they were much more influenced by blues? I got to see them on the tour for the 'On Your Feet or On Your Knees' live album - it was only recorded at 4 stops on the tour. It's in my top 3 favorite live albums...
These guys never fully reached their commercial potential, but they have a rabid "Cult" of fans out there to this day, and I'm proud to say I'm one of them! 🤘
I saw BOC on this tour in Nashville, TN in 84 with Aldo Nova and Accept. Best show out of about 100 I have attended over the years .They are my favorite band.
I don't think I.ll ever forget seeing BOC in Vancouver 1980..they rode my buddies Harly on stage while singing Born to be wild. Definitely one of the greatest concerts I've ever seen
That is what I really, really love about the new digital age we live in. I constantly see things that I have never seen before, or saw once 30 years ago. BOC is a treasure that every time I hear them, I wonder why they were not bigger than they were. Their videos are great, the songs are great...
Word!! Astronomy, I Love The Night, Nosferatu, Cities On Flame, Veteran Of The Psychic Wars, Joan Crawford, Flaming Telepaths, Dominance and Submission, Then Came The Last Days of May, Godzilla, Burnin' For You, etc. There's WAY more to them than Reaper
Don't fear was the first one i heard, ironically i hadn't watched Halloween till way after, so the first time i watched that i leapt outta the chair and shouted 'i know this song' when it plays in the car lol i think that was last year or the year before
I saw thesse guys in 1973 before anybody knew who they were. BOC were openers for Allice Cooper on the Billlion Dollar Babies tour. Cool as anthing. Black leather jackets, mirrored sunglasses, killer riffs. You were left gasping: who in the f*** did I just see?
Buck Dharma has to be one of the most underrated guitarrist ever. Jesus, the guy know how to make a riff, and that solo. Also check the live version of Veteran of the Psychic Wars, you won't be dissapointed.
7u6y I only say that because I just received a transcript of this song in Guitar World. They identify Alda as the player at the solo break. I thought that was odd too but who knows.
Thats because radio only wants to play Reaper, Zilla, and Burnin which I'm starting to get burned out on. In other words their played too much and they know BOC has other great tunes but they go based on what is top 40.
+Alan Lloyd It did get some airplay but picked up some steam in later years.One of my favorites by the band. Career of Evil the new JK Rowling book is out and has many BOC references..so cool.
Curious about the timing on this... too young to remember when it got played on the air, but I'm wondering if the the whole Heaven's Gate thing might have made it seem like a bad look for the radio ... especially with the crap they already got about supposed "pro-sv1c1d3" messages over Don't Fear the Reaper
I love this song! The first time I heard to it, was in 1992. One good friend of mine recorded it in a cassette in the last portion of tape that was left. Maybe 10 years later, I discovered the name of that song and the band that was performing it.🙌🏻
I remember first hearing this song played on the radio in early 1984 when I was 15. This was the heaviest HM song of its time before Thrash Metal came along and completely blew the doors off everything. Blue Oyster Cult is probably the most underrated Heavy Metal band of all time! This is a killer tune!
I love Blue Oyster Cult but this wasn't the heaviest HM song of the time. Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and many others were already well established and big before 84.
This song is one of the greatest ever recorded. It should have been a number one hit. I just looked it up on the internet. It made it to number 11 on the rock charts.
Saw these guys at the Philadelphia Spectrum in 1980 (Cultosaurus tour). Still one of the best concerts I ever saw. Nobody plays music or does shows like this anymore.
BOC rocks! Donald 'Buck Dahrma" Roeser is a criminally underrated guitarist. I've seen BOC 4 times over the last 40 years and he is phenomenal each time. Revolution By Night is my favorite album .
Some people have said that Aldo Nova is playing the solo, but he's not. Aldo has said himself that he played the main riff and keyboards, but that the solo is Buck, and the riff is Buck playing what Aldo wrote.
The lights came down like a ufo during the song live i saw them in charlotte n.c. 1983 on the revolution by night tour, i still have the baseball jersey tour shirt.
Tacomadome24 I also miss rock and roll to, back in the 70s and 80s mostly every station on the radio was rock and roll. I still got my vinyl play them once in awhile.
I'm the incredibly proud owner of a baseball raglan (aka 3/4 sleeve) shirt from this tour. it's paper thin but still perfectly wearable, only one tiny hole in one sleeve, amazing. love this song and all the others. long live Buck, Eric and the BOC
You have probably heard other songs on the Revolution by Night. Check out the albums Fire of Unknown Origin and Imaginos. Also, check out the song Dancing in the Ruins.
An absolute asskicking tune! Essential BOC/Buck material here. A brilliant intro to those unfamiliar, and a comfort to those that know. THIS is BOC.. pure, unadulterated rock and roll.
Well, I would say Uriah Heep gives them a run for their money on that one, but yeah, BOC and The Heep are probably the two best of the most underrated bands ever.
As a self taught UFOlogist I feel a special attachment to this song. Also I’m a 80s-ologist. And I read o ton of Sci-fi. So I was about in my twenties and BOC fit the bill. Landed like a bomb.
OMG, this song has been ringing in my head since 80s but I could never figure out who's the artist! Until now! What a wonderful tune. BOC and Aldo Nova!
83 was a amazing year. Many underated albums that mostly everyone talking shit about. This and Born Again,Flick of the Switch,Head First...love them all(yeah yeah I am old as hell..whatever)and for me is favorite albums.
Eric is my favorite vocalist hands down And buck #1 guitar I love his low key attitude mixed with his off the charts talent He makes it look effortless ..never breaking a sweat
I've played this video over 60 times this month alone, this is the greatest AOR rock song ever - i can't believe i've been a fan of BOC for twenty five years and i had never heard this before. I LOVE THIS!!!!
Im 62 years old saw them at the palace theatre in albany ny 40 years ago . I remember hitting the weed pipe inside while the Lasers shot in my eyes lol haha
Ladies and Gentlemen, with the music heading the way it is, I believe we are witnessing the end of the truly inspired guitar solos. I count Buck's solo on this song as one of the greatest of all time. As a bassist, when I listen to it, it brings tears to my eyes. But then again, music has always touched my soul.
The aircraft shown is a North American T6 'Texan', which was the primary training aircraft for airmen prepairing for air combat in single seated fighters and other combat aircraft. I true legend in aviation and appropos for this song by BOC. Salute.
truthfully the most underated rock band,for sure. seen them twice. in marquette mi. and philadelphia. the best guitar licks you'll ever hesar,luv this band. secret treaties my fav. rock on!!!!
Thumbs up if you want to see them play this song live again.

Bloom CAN'T sing this one anymore..

They PROBABLY will never do either again( sadly) because Eric cannot sing either..
Listen to Joan Crawford at one of the last shows.
He is really struggling.. Bloom last sang GREAT in 2001 and has struggled since.
Due to this obstacle in setlist planning, the Boysters should have refreshed the setlists with more rare " Buck tunes".
They have not unfortunately..
+Adam Priest I saw them a couple weeks ago. And Eric was sounding pretty strong. They did Cities on Flame and the Red and the Black with Eric on vocals. Sounded pretty awesome.

Ghost fan here. Just stopping by to hear some of their inspiration.
This band should have been even bigger than they were. One of the best ever.

Saw live @ santa cruz civic in 1980 with gamma

Gamma 1
Have you ever heard their early songs when they were much more influenced by blues? I got to see them on the tour for the 'On Your Feet or On Your Knees' live album - it was only recorded at 4 stops on the tour. It's in my top 3 favorite live albums...
Blue Oyster "FREAKING" Cult....Rocks FOREVER !!!
BOC - best band ever, bar none!
No kidding!
I'm very fond of them myself, if you couldn't tell
This is one of my favorites from them.
These guys never fully reached their commercial potential, but they have a rabid "Cult" of fans out there to this day, and I'm proud to say I'm one of them! 🤘
I understand
I understand
I understand
I understand
Hell yeah, me too🤘
Saw them in 1980 with Black Sabbath black and blue tour
me too bro
Yes And I seen that happen Soft White Underbelly about 300 people club setting Rock ON❤😊
This Song Kicks so MUCH ASS!! Still Cranking it in August 2022 my neighbors should be impressed!
I don't want them to take me away, I want them to take me back. Back to the time when this song was made.
I saw BOC on this tour in Nashville, TN in 84 with Aldo Nova and Accept. Best show out of about 100 I have attended over the years .They are my favorite band.
I heard Blue Oyster Cult practicing in their garage when I was like 10 riding by on my mongoose.
Love it wow
Merlin Olsen is my neighbor.
I love these videos from the 80's.People say that they're cheesey but at least the videos told a story unlike the videos of the last 20 years
I AGREE.
Check out Alice in Chains - The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here
No this is total fromage 😂
I don't think I've ever heard a bad Blue Öyster Cult song. Every track is bliss.
Americas Black Sabbath
@@user-vi9wg4nu4i I remember the black and blue tour. That was amazing.
I would have liked to have seen that.
That Buck solo.... unbelievable.
Saw them in 1976. Most incredible light show I ever saw
B.O.C. were/are so unique. Always had a sci fi, occult, nightmarish, spiritual thing going on with their music.
got into them from the show supernatural. they definitely got a unique sound to them.
Like a bedtime story for the children of the damned

Make Music Great Again .!.!.!
It's 32 years later, and this is the first time I have ever heard this song. It is absolutely incredible.
+Cody Raulston BOC was prohibited airplay in Alabama as it made the African-American population "restless".
bucky468 It was a joke....so solly
welcome
@@MrFligemon what? Why? How?
That is what I really, really love about the new digital age we live in. I constantly see things that I have never seen before, or saw once 30 years ago. BOC is a treasure that every time I hear them, I wonder why they were not bigger than they were. Their videos are great, the songs are great...
I LOVE this song so much! These guys are so under rated. Sure everyone knows (Don't Fear) The Reaper, but these guys have so much more than that.
Word!! Astronomy, I Love The Night, Nosferatu, Cities On Flame, Veteran Of The Psychic Wars, Joan Crawford, Flaming Telepaths, Dominance and Submission, Then Came The Last Days of May, Godzilla, Burnin' For You, etc.
There's WAY more to them than Reaper

How I envy you....that must have been something.
Saw them in 74 with KISS opening.
Intresting that the Buchard brothers are teamed with Dennis Dunnaway in a band now a days.
Wow what a great pair AC and BÖC perfect what a show
Weren't they called Soft White Underbelly or something like that?
This song is fucking awesome, one of the best BOC songs. I'm glad so many people have discovered this hidden gem on CZcams.
Buck Dharma has to be one of the most underrated guitarrist ever. Jesus, the guy know how to make a riff, and that solo.
Also check the live version of Veteran of the Psychic Wars, you won't be dissapointed.
I believe Alda Nova played the guitar solo on this track. But yes, Buck is awesome.
Are you sure, because it seems Buck's playing, but whatever, they're both great.
Glad to talk with people with good taste in music. Peace out man.
7u6y I only say that because I just received a transcript of this song in Guitar World. They identify Alda as the player at the solo break. I thought that was odd too but who knows.
Yes, Aldo Nova played guitar and synthesizer. He also wrote the music. Eric wrote the words.
Aldo Nova did play this according to the record jacket.
Truly underrated
One of the most delicious riffs I've heard! This band is severely underrated and underappreciated, they deserved more than a "Cult" following.
My new favorite song. I can't believe this wasn't a huge radio hit
Alan Lloyd It did get played as I remember, but it wasn't a (Don't Fear) The Reaper or a Godzilla.
Thats because radio only wants to play Reaper, Zilla, and Burnin which I'm starting to get burned out on. In other words their played too much and they know BOC has other great tunes but they go based on what is top 40.

It's all corporate bullshit
I’m only 35 and Blue Oyster Cult kicks ass !!!!!! So many amazing songs
Such a great band! Eric Bloom’s vocals are so underrated. Loved their drummers as well - Bouchard and Downey!
Brian Downey?
Yes, the vocals are freakin awesome. I could listen to this song forever. Love the riff.
@@johnthonig1692 No, Rick Downey is his name. He only plays on The Revölution by Night (which this song is on). I do love Thin Lizzy too though 😂
@@Nemesis7475 cool
Saw BOC and Thin Lizzy three times each in the late 70's
☮️
One o my favorite songs since I was 13 when the album was released. And still is 40 years later.
I love this song! The first time I heard to it, was in 1992. One good friend of mine recorded it in a cassette in the last portion of tape that was left. Maybe 10 years later, I discovered the name of that song and the band that was performing it.🙌🏻
The most under rated song by BOC!
No, that would be ETI but this one is right behind it.
A an to that brother
Nah I'd say Shooting Shark.
David Bradley I'd say this entire CD "The Revolution By Night" is underrated as a whole.
David Bradley The whole band is under rated
I remember first hearing this song played on the radio in early 1984 when I was 15. This was the heaviest HM song of its time before Thrash Metal came along and completely blew the doors off everything. Blue Oyster Cult is probably the most underrated Heavy Metal band of all time! This is a killer tune!
Stone Cold Crazy by Queen
Dude. thrash was around before 84. Motorhead? come on.
a c, Motörhead wasn’t Thrash lol.
I love Blue Oyster Cult but this wasn't the heaviest HM song of the time. Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and many others were already well established and big before 84.
They were never metal. And sometimes we're not really heavy at all
Song better than any thing made today!
I totally degree
When promo videos clips were actually little great short movies!!! this is Smithsonian Worthy!!
This song is one of the greatest ever recorded. It should have been a number one hit. I just looked it up on the internet. It made it to number 11 on the rock charts.
I like them all but this one is my favorite
n i had never heard of it b4 i was serchin the internet 5 years ago, yes yes yes!!! great song ;)
Nicely put Matt . This is song is my number one .
@@garycful Same. This song is fucking awesome!
The moment the guitars start playing ... instant awesomeness
One of their best numbers. Remember B.O.C. we're huge for about 6 years. Amazing songs. One right after the other
Saw BOC in Houston Tx.at their 40th anniversary tour......rockin out still !!!!
The best science fiction metal band in the world!!!
In the presence of another world...
This song is awesome. love at first listen.

Saw these guys at the Philadelphia Spectrum in 1980 (Cultosaurus tour). Still one of the best concerts I ever saw. Nobody plays music or does shows like this anymore.
The guitar solo is phenomenal. If that is not summoning UFOs then nothing is.
BOC rocks! Donald 'Buck Dahrma" Roeser is a criminally underrated guitarist. I've seen BOC 4 times over the last 40 years and he is phenomenal each time. Revolution By Night is my favorite album .
I have seen BOC 17 times 😮 😅 I guess you could say I like their music 🎶😉.
Some people have said that Aldo Nova is playing the solo, but he's not. Aldo has said himself that he played the main riff and keyboards, but that the solo is Buck, and the riff is Buck playing what Aldo wrote.
MrSkyblu1 I always thought this sounded like an aldo nova song
This song was originally intended for Deep Purple but they passed on it.
BOC fan since '81. Nobody makes music like this anymore. 80's music > all other decades
This one, Shooting Shark, Veteran of the psychic wars and I love the night are my favorites.
I grew up listening to BOC and am still loving every minute of it!
Ditto. Add dancing in the ruins and you've got my favs
Joan Crawford was a killer as song
City's on Flame!
Shadows of California
The song Take Me Away was actually cowritten by Aldo Nova, the Canadian singer who had an earlier Top 40 hit with Fantasy.
Girls with big hair and a Ford Tempo! Those were the good ole days!
ooops its a Thunderbird.
Never disappointed by Blue Oyster Cult
Probably the coolest song ever
One of the best songs BOC ever made!
I’m 46 yo. Loved this song for 10 years. Had no idea there was a video.
Take Me Away Is A Great Outstanding Solid Rock Song And Fantastic Wonderful Masterpiece By Blue Oyster Cult.
This very second that I’m writing this is my very first time hearing this song. I love it! It’s so beautiful and catchy!
You have great taste in music.
Time traveled back and wow this is a cool place to stay, right here with Blue Oyster Cult!..
I LOVE this tune!! I loved it back in '83 and haven't heard it in years! Brings a big fat smile to my face!!! lol
Tominscv Rock on, keep on trucking.
40 years old and still rocks!
Great tune, haven’t heard this in 25-30 years. I’m surprised it never gets any radio time compared to the reaper and burnin 4 u.
The lights came down like a ufo during the song live i saw them in charlotte n.c. 1983 on the revolution by night tour, i still have the baseball jersey tour shirt.
I miss rock and roll...
Tacomadome24 I also miss rock and roll to, back in the 70s and 80s mostly every station on the radio was rock and roll. I still got my vinyl play them once in awhile.
Tacomadome24 try ghost
Tacomadome24 music started to suck in the '90's
Space Cantalope Heard of Jethro Tull? A 1960 band

One of my favorite BOC tracks. So heavy ...
That's rock and roll, folks....
BÖC is great, i mean one of the greatest band and i found them today. Now im hopelessly cult member! And happy about it!
Check out Black blade and the marshal plan is a hoot! Both on Cultasaurus Erectus 👍

I just stumbled into this band. Wow... I've liked all their songs so far.
Check out "Cities on Flame" killer guitar riff.
You have probably heard other songs on the Revolution by Night. Check out the albums Fire of Unknown Origin and Imaginos. Also, check out the song Dancing in the Ruins.
An absolute asskicking tune! Essential BOC/Buck material here. A brilliant intro to those unfamiliar, and a comfort to those that know. THIS is BOC.. pure, unadulterated rock and roll.
Most underrated rock band ever.
Well, I would say Uriah Heep gives them a run for their money on that one, but yeah, BOC and The Heep are probably the two best of the most underrated bands ever.

The song just isn't the same without this video and that intro!
Pandora introduced me to this one.
Gotta agree, it's the guitar riff that hooked me.
Excellent tune by BOC. It is surprising this song doesn't get any radio play that I know of.
My first show,... BOC and Foghat in Boston Garden......BlueFog
As a self taught UFOlogist I feel a special attachment to this song. Also I’m a 80s-ologist. And I read o ton of Sci-fi. So I was about in my twenties and BOC fit the bill. Landed like a bomb.

The men black there lips are sealed
@Chatsworth Osborne, Jr.I envy you! I was too young in 80s.
One of their best songs.
Yes, probably, but they have made so many others excellent songs too!
I love the 20 or so seconds right after that nasty solo ends, neat little diddy.
83 was a amazing year. Many underated albums that mostly everyone talking shit about. This and Born Again,Flick of the Switch,Head First...love them all(yeah yeah I am old as hell..whatever)and for me is favorite albums.
a relatively late and little regarded song, but definitely a hidden gem.
Such an underrated song from such an underrated album.. Not a single bad track on Revolution by night! Horns up for BÖC! /m/
"Shooting Shark" is also a stand-out IMO. \m/
@@whiskeyvictor5703 it’s alright, but that song is very touchy-feely for me hehe. If I feel emotional one night I’d put it on.
Welcome to skill n harmony TRUE LEGENDS,,all I listened to. 70s
Cheers to those who explore music outside of the commercial realm 🤘
If Buck Dharma is the most underrated guitar player ever, I think Eric Bloom has the most underrated voice ever.
-¿-
Kickass voice, and what is funny is that BOC's most universally known song is sung by Buck...
Eric is my favorite vocalist hands down
And buck #1 guitar I love his low key attitude mixed with his off the charts talent
He makes it look effortless ..never breaking a sweat
Ahhhh who could forget all the cheesy videos of the 80's 😊
Dat 🎸 solo ... holy fck takes me away!!!!
I've played this video over 60 times this month alone, this is the greatest AOR rock song ever - i can't believe i've been a fan of BOC for twenty five years and i had never heard this before. I LOVE THIS!!!!
Let's be honest... we all know where the inspiration for Steven Hyde came from. One Eric Bloom😍
Im 62 years old saw them at the palace theatre in albany ny 40 years ago . I remember hitting the weed pipe inside while the Lasers shot in my eyes lol haha
I hope these guys are all sitting castles and mansions right now , they deserve it !
Eric Blume has a beautiful voice. Then again, Eric Blume is beautiful, period
It's Bloom, actually.
Glad the particular hairstyle he had for this video has gone out of style, though!
Ladies and Gentlemen, with the music heading the way it is, I believe we are witnessing the end of the truly inspired guitar solos. I count Buck's solo on this song as one of the greatest of all time. As a bassist, when I listen to it, it brings tears to my eyes. But then again, music has always touched my soul.

thanks, i was wondering what it was, wonder what happened to the one in this video
Saw this tour, Aldo Nova opened, then Dokken, BOC headlined.. San Antonio TX Oct 83...
I actually bought this album at a used record store on campus right after it came out. Still have it.
BOC was my very first concert, back in the fall of 83!
