A one-man guitar army, he really loves his job, amazing that Don and Eric are still performing in the 21st century, so grateful for the bands dedication to their fans..,
This song never fails to move me... Eric Bloom hasn't gotten his due as one of the great rock and roll vocalists like he deserves... the guy was a major influence on the 80s post punk and gothic rock singers that came in his wake
My first Cult concert was also at the Long Beach Arena, October 1974, Secret Treaties tour. I remember waiting in line outside, when "the Symbol" lit-up the side of the arena. Talk about a crowd overloading. Unforgettable.
I'm 70 been a hell of a ride.Trucker for 40 years.over half my life been in a big rig.over the road.BOC with me every mile heard them in 73 lived every song they got me down those late night runs to LA from Denver got me through over 4 mil miles trucking man great music all they way BOC rules
I’m fortunate enough to have seen BOC play many times, including this enchanted evening. I was 17 years old then, and now after more than 40 years I still remember (parts of) this night.The Cap Center has been gone for probably 20 years, but the music of the Oyster Boys lives on - in 2020, The Symbol Remains.
Stairway to Heaven - Led Zep Freebird - Skynyrd War Pigs/Luke’s Wall - Sabbath Don’t’ Look Back - Boston Right Now - VH Astronomy - BÖC Belongs right up there with them. Epic songs from epic bands…etched in music history forever.
These guys are so much more than Reaper. This song takes you on a journey. I grew up in the 90s so I discovered it through Metallica but this original version is EPIC
The best individual song and concert was this song with full lasers in the second row of the Stanley Theater in Pittsburgh in 1978/9, with Thin Lizzy ss the warm up band on their Jailbreak tour.
Yeah, really amazing, they were one of the first to use Lasers if not the first. I think I read an interview with Eric where he said the lasers weren't regulated at that point, so there was a little bit of intrigue each night lol.
Great tune and band. We tried with my friend from R&O to review this great song. Maybe we succeeded, maybe not, we let you be the judge if you have two or three minutes to spare and a thumb up or down to add, come listen and judge us here :-) : ruclips.net/video/z8UWjfHMxR4/видео.html and stay safe
It's funny Graham. In March 1978 I saw Rainbow. Ritchie flattened us with just a devastating performance. It remains the most "awesome" guitar performance I've ever seen. But 4 months later, I saw BOC for the first time, and by the time they finished Astronomy, I decided Buck was my favorite player. He played some super fast stuff and all that, but his sense of tone and melody sucked me right in and never let go. I've long since forgotten about Rainbow, but still can't get BOC and Buck out of my head!
@@RoeserFan1 amen. after speed and technique have reached the highest level....it becomes about more than musicianship, it becomes a true art. And Buck has always had a great style. I have yet to hear a single solo that sounds like another. Its simply amazing over 50 years.
My favorite guitarist, Buck Dharma. Well, among top faves anyway. I saw them on this tour in Bangor, Maine in Feb. 1977. REAL lasers like this are SO much better than fake lasers. They were forced to stop using them because some people claimed their eyes suffered damage, so out of caution they stopped the real lasers. But the coolest thing EVER was when I saw Eric Bloom shoot his laser ring at the mirror ball, then it reflected at Buck's shiny metal surface or whatever it was, then off into the distance. Smoke, lasers, it was incredible! And no one asked, but get their new album, The Symbol Remains. It kicks ass!
Blue Oyster Cult kicking out the jams! I remember seeing them at the Old Waldorf in 80s. Billed as Soft White Underbelly. What a great show! Pitchers all around boys! Cheers!
B.O.C are amazing, Eric, Buck the most underrated guitarist of all time.. my favorite is the "Some enchanted evening " version of this song.. but is there any bad version or song.. NO
It's hard to judge by this - it's not been digitised very well, to be honest - but what you can't appreciate here is the full majesty of that laser show - at 5.15 or so when the lasers start to hit the spinning mirrorball, the hall is filled with sweeping shafts of blue-green light like an undersea forest of laser fingers that speed up as the beat quickens - the film wasn't sensitive enough to record that, unfortunately - but for those who were there, it was almost a semi-religious experience...
Great tune and incredible Band. We tried with my friend from R&O to review this great song. Maybe we succeeded, maybe not, we let you be the judge if you have two or three minutes to spare and a thumb up or down to add, come listen and judge us here :-) : ruclips.net/video/z8UWjfHMxR4/видео.html
Seen BOC at the Spectrum in Philadelphia during this tour. Still have the stubs! Such a memorable show. The drum solo in the middle of Godzilla, the bass solo included a Beatles medley. And of course, Cities on Flame, ETI, and this. WOW!
BÖC played the Capital Centre many times - my older brother saw the late 1976 show that was released as a video - I was supposed to go to this one in '78 - but sadly missed it - then finally I saw them at Cap Centre in 1980 on the infamous 'Black & Blue' tour - where you could actually feel the tension between the bands - BÖC won the night over the Sabs IMHO ..
I always enjoyed BOC and was ready for more, which is something I can't say for most bands. Usually, I am bored after an hour. Not with these guys. They always kept my attention.
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.

Saw these guys on Day on the Green , Oakland Ca n 80, or was it 81,,, lol,, damn I know I was there,,, like all the member s grab'd a long neck n began playing ,,, Fk n crazy
I saw them in Sacramento in 1979. I win! ;o) It was the second concert I ever went to. First was the "Monsters of Rock" Day on the Green in 1979 (with Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush, AC/DC, Aerosmith, and Ted Nugent). We heard about he BoC concert there, and bought tickets as soon as we got home. Cheap Trick was there, too.
Awesome. One regret is I never saw them do this song during that era, though I've seen them numerous times since and they still do a great job..but the comments below sum what the experience must've been like.
That version is one of my favorite songs of all time from all the music out there. And I still listen to it on my Ipod in the car now and then. What a damn song!
Letra: The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst Out at you from their hiding place Like acid and oil on a madman's face His reason tends to fly away Like lesser birds on the four winds Like silver scrapes in May And now the sand's become a crust And most of you have gone away Come Susie dear, let's take a walk Just out there upon the beach I know you'll soon be married And you'll want to know where winds come from Well it's never said at all On the map that Carrie reads Behind the clock back there you know At the Four Winds Bar Hey!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Call me Desdinova Eternal light These gravely digs of mine Will surely prove a sight And don't forget my dog Fixed and consequent Astronomy... a star (repeats)
This is taken from the deluxe 2 cd reissue of "Some Enchanted Evening". One CD is the live album extended and one DVD is an hour of BOC on another good night.
Around that time BÖC had been in germany with their gigantic laser show - a one time great in my life. Beside that: Astronomy is my fav BÖC song all over the decades.
Used to see them regularly at the Providence Civic Center (now "The Dunkin Donuts Center" aka The Dunk). One night, some Canadian band opened for them - what was their name..... oh yeah, Rush. Overall, a pretty good show! :)
To calculate how many different live versions of astronomy there are, a rough estimate would be an average of 150 shows per year over about 45 years of playing it so about 6 or 7 thousand. Never the same twice.
Im going to see Buck Dharma November 22 just after his birthday of November 12, he is 76 this month. On tour forever 50 years of excellence Long Island New York 🎉🤟🤟🤘🤘
Saw these guys at the Free Trade hall in Manchester UK about this time Spectres tour. The first band to use Lasers in the UK great it was. But who thought Japan would be a good opening band needed firing.
That was around April/May 1978 (& Reaper went massive on it's UK re-issue that Summer) ... they chose Magnum next in 1979 ... a gamble because they blew many a headliner off stage ... but not BOC ofc.

It was an art trying to capture that era's live music experience on film. I think if BOC had a "song remains the same" or "the last waltz" quality of film during their peak, they would have remained huge. Even Waters scrapped the release of The Wall from 1980 because it just didn't do the shows justice.
Oh the memories, Thanks, Bob BOC Hope.... I went from seeing The Cult/SWU playing college lunchrooms, to Headlining in NYC/Beacon/Academy, from having KISS open for the BOC to the BOC opening for that shit band, KISS @ Nassau Coliseum. I grew away from the band after "Reaper," but The BOC were a GREAT band!!! RIP Allen Lanier.
You missed these incredible shows of BOC in the mid 70's, when they had the absolute best laser shows live! Once the FDA got a hold of it, these laser shows were dead in the water! Too much eye damage!
Dec 15 Las Vegas Convention Center . I looked straight into the beams bouncing off of the disco mirror ball ... the color was so vivid, simply amazing to see, video cannot do it justice I didn’t go blind and am still rockin .. Little River Band opened and Ambrosia before them, what a weird combo. BOC changed me forever
The Heyday. BOC and the laser show - so awesome! Had no idea they had it when we went to their show at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. Absolutely stole the show from Ted Nugent and ZZ Top as the second set of a triple bill, believe it or not.
Geweldig nummer, heeft helemaal niet aan kracht ingeboet (1974), pracht sfeer en dan die solo van Donald Roeser (Buck Dharma). De uitstekende zanger (Eric Bloom) heeft lijkt wat uitstraling betreft op Lou Reed.
A one-man guitar army, he really loves his job, amazing that Don and Eric are still performing in the 21st century, so grateful for the bands dedication to their fans..,
Buck is one of the few dudes that plays a million miles an hour and stays interesting and musical.
This song never fails to move me... Eric Bloom hasn't gotten his due as one of the great rock and roll vocalists like he deserves... the guy was a major influence on the 80s post punk and gothic rock singers that came in his wake
Bloom's the best.
Dharma even more so.
one of the greatest singers in rock history
I so agree. Nobody can tell me Robert Plant could do a finesse song like this so well, and I'm a big Zep fan.
Agreed.
@@RoeserFan1 Plants high whine hasn't aged well with me.I don't always look back so fondly with his 70's work.
Saw them in '77'. This song with the lasers was breathtaking.
Saw them in 78 Cape Cod Coliseum, lasers were firing right into the crowd awesome show 🤘
My first concert was BOC at Long Beach Arena in '73. Unforgettable.
My first Cult concert was also at the Long Beach Arena, October 1974, Secret Treaties tour. I remember waiting in line outside, when "the Symbol" lit-up the side of the arena. Talk about a crowd overloading. Unforgettable.
I was there too . I hànded you that joint
Me too
My first concert ever was BOC with Cheap Trick playing first, what better baptism into rock concerts 1978 🤘
I'm 70 been a hell of a ride.Trucker for 40 years.over half my life been in a big rig.over the road.BOC with me every mile heard them in 73 lived every song they got me down those late night runs to LA from Denver got me through over 4 mil miles trucking man great music all they way BOC rules
I’m fortunate enough to have seen BOC play many times, including this
enchanted evening. I was 17 years old then, and now after more than 40 years
I still remember (parts of) this night.The Cap Center has been gone for probably
20 years, but the music of the Oyster Boys lives on - in 2020, The Symbol Remains.
My first concert. Green Bay, WI, spring '77.
This song gives me the feel being one of the few of a class apart. This is music.
Astronomy is hands down my favorite song by my favorite group
You are able to make a choice, I can't
Stairway to Heaven - Led Zep
Freebird - Skynyrd
War Pigs/Luke’s Wall - Sabbath
Don’t’ Look Back - Boston
Right Now - VH
Astronomy - BÖC
Belongs right up there with them. Epic songs from epic bands…etched in music history forever.
Take out skynyard, sabbath, VH , and I agree with you!
Most underrated band ever. Lost's project Dharma rules!👍😆
oh yeah. but, BOC have so many comercial musics.. but, awesome band
@@survivorea thats reasonable. Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and other Titanic bands suffocated a Lot of bands so fucking much
Daniel Fernandes ...'cause... these bands were really better.. but - astronomy greaaat song
@Dan Bertucci oh man.. for sure. BOC great Live performances. Other bandas or artists be great.. Ronnie James dio.. absolute ... and others
@Dan Bertucci You're saying that like BOC's studio albums weren't great. I get what you're saying, but BOC had great albums.
THAT SOLO IS EPIC!
These guys are so much more than Reaper. This song takes you on a journey. I grew up in the 90s so I discovered it through Metallica but this original version is EPIC
This one is great, but the one off Some Enchanted Evening is the greatest of all time by anyone.
What a Band What a Show What a Sound
The lasers in their light shows back in the 70's were groundbreaking and phenomenal.. Some of my best hazy memories.... and the music kicked ass
The best individual song and concert was this song with full lasers in the second row of the Stanley Theater in Pittsburgh in 1978/9, with Thin Lizzy ss the warm up band on their Jailbreak tour.
Yeah, really amazing, they were one of the first to use Lasers if not the first. I think I read an interview with Eric where he said the lasers weren't regulated at that point, so there was a little bit of intrigue each night lol.
God damn......such a awesome act...
Glorious song with one of arguably the great gtr solo's when done live.
One of the best bands from the 70s.
Great tune and band. We tried with my friend from R&O to review this great song. Maybe we succeeded, maybe not, we let you be the judge if you have two or three minutes to spare and a thumb up or down to add, come listen and judge us here :-) : ruclips.net/video/z8UWjfHMxR4/видео.html and stay safe
THIS BAND WAS TRULY ONE OF THE BEST, MUSICIANSHIP,GUITAR PLAYING, THEY ARE UNDERATED, B,O,CULT IS CLASSIC ROCK.🎸🔊🎶😎☮️ BOB.
They still are, the album they released in 2020 is amazing.
The best guitarist I have ever seen live is Buck Dharma, and I have seen lots of guitarists live. Untouchable.
It's funny Graham. In March 1978 I saw Rainbow. Ritchie flattened us with just a devastating performance. It remains the most "awesome" guitar performance I've ever seen.

@@RoeserFan1 Same here. I saw MK 2 Deep Purple in 86 Ritchie was amazing but I still haven't seen anyone like Buck on guitar.
@@grahamtaylor8912 HIs adventures are special.There is great and then there is Buck amazing.
@@beefoneeto Agreed. Have you heard the instrumental track from his archives called Gamera is Missing? ruclips.net/video/sFCDnWwukto/видео.html ...
@@RoeserFan1 amen. after speed and technique have reached the highest level....it becomes about more than musicianship,
it becomes a true art. And Buck has always had a great style. I have yet to hear a single solo that sounds like another. Its simply amazing over 50 years.
You can tell bloom is enjoying singing this one. Eric is possibly the best singer of that time he's got such excellent vibrato and phrasing
Yes indeed well said. Thank you.
Eric bloom has a great voice, very versatile and lots of range

7 times in concert 1 in Frankfurt so rhythm!
Blue Oyster Cult kicking out the jams! I remember seeing them at the Old Waldorf in 80s. Billed as Soft White Underbelly. What a great show! Pitchers all around boys! Cheers!
In my opinion, and this is from the heart, Buck Dharma is one of the top five guitar players ever. Oh yeah, Prince is in there also.
I have to rewatch this several times a year. Truly a masterpiece. Absurd they are not in the HOF but its a joke anyway.
HoF is woke joke
B.O.C are amazing, Eric, Buck the most underrated guitarist of all time.. my favorite is the "Some enchanted evening " version of this song.. but is there any bad version or song.. NO
Yeah the Some Enchanted Evening version KICKS ASS!
Wow. Another great live performance by great performers.

I remember the wicked böc lazers👍🏻
man i got the chills just watching this video in mah bedroom
cant imagine what it would be like to experience it live

No
Ain't nothing worth more than a Buck's worth of guitarplaying🔊🎸🎵💪👊
40 years of great music
How in the fuck is this not a thing? That was amazing!
And the Astronomy solo on october 1979 recording is another amazing rendition.
The best live guitar solo ever!!!
Great version of this great song! Love B.O.C.!
Buck is KILLIN IT!!!
I want to hear Astronomy live again!!!
Search on here for "Astronomy Glasgow 2017" & enjoy ... it's still stunning.

Best version is on Some Enchanted Evening in my opinion

No doubt about it!
yes
Check out the Minneapolis 79 version
Agreed! This and "ETI" are superb on 'Some Enchanted Evening'.
That version is one of my favorite songs of all time from all the music out there. And I still listen to it on my Ipod in the car now and then. What a damn song!
My god, what a performance! Thank you to whoever uploaded it, you made my week.
Sandy ❤️ Masterpiece
Christ man, listen to Buck _play_ . Holy shit, he can play on the records, but he's fucking unreal live
He is amazing.
Erie County Fieldhouse 1977 forever made us love this group
Letra:
The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst
Out at you from their hiding place
Like acid and oil on a madman's face
His reason tends to fly away
Like lesser birds on the four winds
Like silver scrapes in May
And now the sand's become a crust
And most of you have gone away
Come Susie dear, let's take a walk
Just out there upon the beach
I know you'll soon be married
And you'll want to know where winds come from
Well it's never said at all
On the map that Carrie reads
Behind the clock back there you know
At the Four Winds Bar
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Four doors at the Four Winds Bar
Two doors locked and windows barred
One door to let to take you in
The other one just mirrors it
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hellish glare and inference
The other one's a duplicate
The Queenly flux, eternal light
Or the light that never warms
Or the light that never, never warms
Or the light that never
Never warms
Never warms
Never warms
The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst
Out at you from their hiding place
Miss Carrie nurse and Susie dear
Would find themselves at Four Winds Bar
It's the nexus of the crisis
And the origin of storms
Just the place to hopelessly
Encounter time and then came me
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Call me Desdinova
Eternal light
These gravely digs of mine
Will surely prove a sight
And don't forget my dog
Fixed and consequent
Astronomy... a star (repeats)
So many good memories. So many good shows.
loved the shows with lasers.
Buck is so great and underrated. He has had more skills and talent in his pinky than Page ever had in his both hands throughout his whole career.
Page cant dream of playing the stuff Buck plays.
Different styles. It's okay, the world can handle more than one.
I read an interview with Page where he said that Buck was his favorite guitar player.
Great performance!
This is taken from the deluxe 2 cd reissue of "Some Enchanted Evening".

Around that time BÖC had been in germany with their gigantic laser show - a one time great in my life. Beside that: Astronomy is my fav BÖC song all over the decades.
So damn awesome
The SEE version of the outro solo is the standard but this is incredible.
Legendary piece from legendary band - true astronomical experience!
Потрясающе.
Just class
I’m so jealous of anyone who experienced BOC in their prime. It doesn’t seem like there’s anything like this nowadays
Awesomeness.
I was at this show.
Me too . I did the howl at the begining of the last days of may. That you could here on the live album
I liked the bass drum it s so tight 😍😍
Used to see them regularly at the Providence Civic Center (now "The Dunkin Donuts Center" aka The Dunk). One night, some Canadian band opened for them - what was their name..... oh yeah, Rush. Overall, a pretty good show! :)
WOW
My two favorite 70's bands.
Blue Oyster Cult really rocks New York.
Oh yeah brother.
To calculate how many different live versions of astronomy there are, a rough estimate would be an average of 150 shows per year over about 45 years of playing it so about 6 or 7 thousand. Never the same twice.
My favorite version is sung by Albert Bouchard on his imagines demo. Mainly because i like the synth part. So many versions all good.
Most shows they wouldn't have played Astronomy though ...
Thanks uploading again. I thought this version vas gone forever.
Exceptionnel !
My favorite BOC song, most under rated band ever, I'm sure this is the band I have seen the most next to "The Cure"
Eric bloom does it for me in this song!
Oh my god. And i still cant believe i saw that tour at the santa monica civic. And its better and better everytime i watch it.
Im going to see Buck Dharma November 22 just after his birthday of November 12, he is 76 this month. On tour forever 50 years of excellence Long Island New York 🎉🤟🤟🤘🤘
Saw these guys at the Free Trade hall in Manchester UK about this time Spectres tour. The first band to use Lasers in the UK great it was. But who thought Japan would be a good opening band needed firing.
That was around April/May 1978 (& Reaper went massive on it's UK re-issue that Summer) ... they chose Magnum next in 1979 ... a gamble because they blew many a headliner off stage ... but not BOC ofc.
Best band on the planet / universe because there is life out there Take me away thank goodness for the band called Blue Oyster Cult
oh my fucking GOD... 70s true rock... I LOST IT!
Epic !!!!
Great tune and incredible Band. We tried with my friend from R&O to review this great song. Maybe we succeeded, maybe not, we let you be the judge if you have two or three minutes to spare and a thumb up or down to add, come listen and judge us here :-) : ruclips.net/video/z8UWjfHMxR4/видео.html
If I die and have a chance coming back with a singing voice, it would be the most remarkable rock singing God - Eric Bloom!
I love Eric's voice, too.
METALLICAS cover brought me here and I must say I have my doubts but this is fantastic!!! I love there song Godzilla!!!!
The light that never warms.

Happy 76th Birthday Buck! #1⭐🎵
Wow !
Best version for me to be honest, someone better MP3 this!
You missed these incredible shows of BOC in the mid 70's, when they had the absolute best laser shows live! Once the FDA got a hold of it, these laser shows were dead in the water! Too much eye damage!

Pretty darn good. But nothing beats the Some Enchanted Evening version and solo.
Just too cool! Incredible performance.for some reason(politics?)Not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!WTF.
Dharma, i love you
This Song is Magical 😈🤘😂❤️
RUclips got rid of the one with the fixed audio. I'm disappointed with RUclips
💓
like all the music of this band - weird, gloomy and extremely refined.And brilliant.
The Heyday. BOC and the laser show - so awesome! Had no idea they had it when we went to their show at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. Absolutely stole the show from Ted Nugent and ZZ Top as the second set of a triple bill, believe it or not.
🔥🔥🔥
Coisa mais linda, que isso!!!
Geweldig nummer, heeft helemaal niet aan kracht ingeboet (1974), pracht sfeer en dan die solo van Donald Roeser (Buck Dharma). De uitstekende zanger (Eric Bloom) heeft lijkt wat uitstraling betreft op Lou Reed.
And don't forget my dog, fixed and consequent.
