My baby sister died overnight (3000 km away) - she was only 51 - she sent me an email about 5 years ago about how much she loved this clip... RIP little Stella...
Man you ain't kidding. Buck is amazing. This whole song is. Erics's voice cuts like a knife. This is such a great performance. Great live band, real musicians.
Eric can sing, Buck can play guitar, Alan on keyboards, and the Bouchard Brothers with that great rhythm section. The finest American Rock band ever!!!
I'm in a bad point of my life, getting old, health issues. I'm in my late 50's.. Just smoked my first legal joint. Listening to this tune. I seen the B.O.C. with Zebra opening in NYC at The Ritz.. Maybe Radio City music Hall.. I don't remember, 17 years old getting served in a NYC bar before the show. Smoking lousy brown seedy weed and loving it! Good times.
Buck's guitar playing here is transcendent, the whole section from 4:30 to the end of the song is a brilliant virtuoso performance and one of my favorite pieces of music ever. Just stunning stuff from a master of his craft.
exactly, guitarists like eddie van halen, stevie ray vaughan, and of course eric clapton who looks like he's almost having telepathic intercourse with the guitar they all make these expressions while playing. buck on the other hand shows zero emotion and is one with the guitar during the entire section.
One of the best - and most mysterious - rock songs ever! The sound and lyrics of The Cult, in this song, has hardly never ever been better! And Buck Dharma! 🇺🇸
50 years of BOC. Forget the SNL crap about more cowbell. I saw these guys in the seventies, and they were the real deal. Great musicianship and smarts.
I'm 61 yrs old now, I remember BOC,like it was high school all over again,I thought it was bitchin then and find almost better today,in this year of 2022,who would of thought,that so many years later,that I'd still be listening to Blue Oyster Cult,you truly rock and God Bless for the memories!
A haunting song, extremely well written, with a lot of mystery about it. I've moved on to other musics but keeps returning to it as I do know… The Cult had more substance and brain cells than most of their contemporaries.
@@lnSignia It's pretty much esoteric, based on a poem by Pearlman… this character of Desdanova, "eternal light", supposed to ba an alter human for aliens called "les invisibles"meets some ladies at the "four wind bar", supposed to become cosmic rendez-vous. Or sumfink…
This is total quality. Especially for the time period. The lyrics are audible. The camera work is great, captures Buck Dharmas fingers dancing incredibly well. Couldn't really ask for much more.
Saw them on this tour at the opening of the Superdome show in New Orleans. I was only 15, and working as a guitar player in a house band. It was a 12 hour concert, and BOC was on the bill, with Heart, Boston, and many others. Buck chewed up and spit out every single guitar player there-Tom Scholz, Roger Fisher, Nancy Wilson, Sammy Hagar, too many to list. All were at the top of their game, and put out very fine performances-there wasn't an off night there for anyone. I had no idea who he was, I figured he HAD to be Al DiMeola until the singer told us his name. That is STILL to this day, the best guitar sound live I have ever heard.
How very lucky we all were.Now in the last few months I got a disc from Joe Bouchard,Blue Oyster Cult and Albert Bouchard.I've been loving thier music for over 45 years now to get new recordings as I turn 60 is overwhelming!!!!Us die hard BOC fans have truly been blessed.Thank You.
This is most underrated song, beautiful, sad and you instantly understand the mood even if you are from another country/culture. I don't know how to describe it...
This song live is a monument ! I really love it and listened for it so many times on "Some enchanted evening".. it's really nice to see this capture . Thank you for it
What a great fantastic band, so underrated. I had all their stuff as a teenager. Saw them live many times.. always a great show. “The nexus of crisis, and the origin of storms” what a line
I was born in 76..... what an amazing song ...pure progressive rock .....and Metallica cover is also astonishing.....fantastic ...what a great band ...good times those days.... Cheers from Brasil...
I was born in 78. Metallica is my favorite band. My dad listened to Blue Oyster Cult. That's why I'm here. I can see why Kirk loved these guys. You can hear it in his solos.... Incredible.
Always happy to see another version of this song posted here. The solos are always different, and always epic. Eric Bloom is in fine voice on this one, and Buck Dharma in the white suit days is always awesome. The only band I've seen live more times than BOC is AC/DC. Jesus Christ, all those riffs.
Always loved these guys... Have seen them quite a few times... First concert 1977 New Haven CT ~ with RUSH... a true night I will always cherish & 4ever remember
This haunting rendition stirs up all kinds of emotions! I saw them in the early 90s at a small venue in Devon PA with a rotating stage (which was closed down just a few years later). I had a terrific time then, but I didn't realize how often I would think about that night, even today. It was just one of those moments that you never forget. I'm in my late 50s now, but when I hear this, I'm 28.
Valley Forge Music Fair was the venue with the rotating stage. Like you said, sadly it's gone. I live about 5 minutes away from where it was. Wish I could travel back in time and witness all the great names that used that stage.
A NY treasure… the Godfathers of OCCULT ROCK. Eric Bloom is so underrated. One of the coolest front men & best lead voices in rock. Buck Dharma is America’s best rock guitarist. Took almost 30 years for people to catch up to just how amazing BÖC is.
Strano che un gruppo fantastico come qst non abbia fatto il successo di altri gruppi all avanguardia di quel tempo. Sto pezzo non ha niente da invidiare ad altri pezzi rock di quel tempo
Thanks, Bruno, this song always gives me pause both musically and lyrically. I still haven't figured out what it's about and at this point don't want to know but the level of musicianship itself was rarely equaled.
It was about 6/7 years back i was in my room with a friend. I had only 1 glass of rum and 2 puffs of marijuana and later about 5mins i listened to this song(metallica cover),i closed my eyes and pretended to play drums but suddenly out of nowhere i lost my concious in the real world, i literally felt i was dead and the devil won my soul, i could see my whole life, like everything from the day i was born till the time i am condemned to hell like watching tv. The burning sulphur was inside my flesh and my face was dripping on the floor like a burning candle. In the meantime my family thought i was possessed by demons, they put bible on my chest and they prayed for me. After a long 1hour i woke up and i was sure it was a vision, it might be because God wants me to repent and if i don't He will damn me hell. ##Friends this is a true story.. Q:Is this song possessed???
They used to play clubs in between dates changing their name to “Soft White Underbelly,” which was cool. I wasn’t lucky enough to catch one of those gigs, unfortunately.

My deepest condolences to you and your family.
This is genuinely one of the greatest guitar solos I've ever heard in my life. All time favorite Cult song
It's truly amazing. This gets about 10 plays a week 😅
Sinful Love is my favorite BOC song
His solo in Veteran of the Psychic Wars is even better.
Man you ain't kidding. Buck is amazing. This whole song is. Erics's voice cuts like a knife. This is such a great performance. Great live band, real musicians.
Solid.
Eric can sing, Buck can play guitar, Alan on keyboards, and the Bouchard Brothers with that great rhythm section. The finest American Rock band ever!!!
@@etiennedevignolles7538 -- Thanks, man. You know your music.
Yes... My most Fond memories are of the You Guys and the Mirrors Album...
How much beautiful was there
I'm from Syria and I wasn't lived in America ever but I feel so authentic vibrates from this song
I love you, man. Hope you're okay, I know it's crazy in Syria and I hope you and your family are doing well.
@viljamtheninja 🙏🙏🙏 thank you so much for your Warm words
The build up in this solo is a work of art. Buck is not talked about enough as one of the greats!
No doubt one of the greatest rock bands ever.
I'm in a bad point of my life, getting old, health issues.
I'm in my late 50's.. Just smoked my first legal joint. Listening to this tune.
I seen the B.O.C. with Zebra opening in NYC at The Ritz.. Maybe Radio City music Hall.. I don't remember, 17 years old getting served in a NYC bar before the show. Smoking lousy brown seedy weed and loving it!
Good times.
You lived it, man.
Zebra, WOW! I loved them too!!!
Buck's guitar playing here is transcendent, the whole section from 4:30 to the end of the song is a brilliant virtuoso performance and one of my favorite pieces of music ever. Just stunning stuff from a master of his craft.
Buck is so overlooked as a guitar maestro. Saw 'em a ton of times - always godlike.
@@iandavidson4852 88uk7ko7
Its very good but take a look at live video of Rainbow playing "Tearing out my heart" . A real master at work.
And Metallica cover this song 😄
The drums make a perfect job making this part better. One of my favorite pieces of music too!
Love how other guitarists grimace and grunt while they're playing, to put in the emotional effort, and Buck's like nah, it'll be fine. Epic.
So bloody cool 🤣👍🇬🇧
exactly, guitarists like eddie van halen, stevie ray vaughan, and of course eric clapton who looks like he's almost having telepathic intercourse with the guitar they all make these expressions while playing. buck on the other hand shows zero emotion and is one with the guitar during the entire section.
Buck is stone faced as ever. No jumping around or grimacing, just playing the notes in their exact proper order.
One of the best - and most mysterious - rock songs ever! The sound and lyrics of The Cult, in this song, has hardly never ever been better! And Buck Dharma! 🇺🇸
🍻🤘
Aigh, edie, ciao baby.
The lyrics are from a old poem about luciferian aliens
Now I know.. why Metallica cover this song
eric as well
That guitarist and that drummer are freaking geniuses :)
Buck Dharma and Albert Bouchard!
Love Buck’s performance whilst wearing a 3 piece suit 👍
@@pgzzz Buck is first class all the way
Agreed! Can't forget about Eric Bloom as well!
I miss Allen, he's one of the greatest rock keyboardists of all time.
Lucky enough to see them on the same bill with Black Sabbath. We grew up in a great time.
I believe that was the Black and Blue tour in '79 - '80? I would have loved to have seen that. Dio was with Sabbath at that time.
50 years of BOC. Forget the SNL crap about more cowbell. I saw these guys in the seventies, and they were the real deal. Great musicianship and smarts.
Yes sir.
Nobody better.
Well to be clear I think SNL was paying them tribute in a satirical way.
No cows here.
Yep..I daw tgem in '81 and it was a fantastic show...one of my favorite, and I have seen hundreds of live shows.
I'm 61 yrs old now, I remember BOC,like it was high school all over again,I thought it was bitchin then and find almost better today,in this year of 2022,who would of thought,that so many years later,that I'd still be listening to Blue Oyster Cult,you truly rock and God Bless for the memories!
I am so right there with you brother. Rock on !
A haunting song, extremely well written, with a lot of mystery about it. I've moved on to other musics but keeps returning to it as I do know… The Cult had more substance and brain cells than most of their contemporaries.
now I figured why Metallica cover this song.. it's good
@@dariusvigan4527 Only M. Bloom can sing it IMHO…
So, so much better than the Imaginos version.
Can you tell what the song is about?
@@lnSignia It's pretty much esoteric, based on a poem by Pearlman… this character of Desdanova, "eternal light", supposed to ba an alter human for aliens called "les invisibles"meets some ladies at the "four wind bar", supposed to become cosmic rendez-vous. Or sumfink…
This is one of my favorite performances of all time. It takes my breath away every listen.
My dads favorite band, everytime I hear them its so bitter sweet cause i miss him beyond explanation. Absoulutely beautiful music
Your dad had excellent taste in music. R.I.P
So good, always back here every couple of weeks. Rock is best live!!!!
All music is best live!
@@andreil1234 But especially full blast good ole’ Rock n Roll
If you’re actually there, sure. But for listening purposes, I’d frankly take the record version over this
I know I am kind of randomly asking but does anyone know a good site to stream new movies online ?
@Quinton Ayaan flixportal :P
Blue Oyster cult is probably one of my all time favorites
The most awesome rock band of all time in my humble opinion.
Word
My God, how can they sound this great live!
they're veterans of a psychic wars
@@basteagui classic
@@basteagui best answer anyone could dream of! 👍
Because they're BOC and they're just THAT good!!!
Literally the best rock song ever written and recorded. By the best band that ever existed.
This is total quality. Especially for the time period. The lyrics are audible. The camera work is great, captures Buck Dharmas fingers dancing incredibly well. Couldn't really ask for much more.
Superb Eric Bloom ! 🎤🎤🎸🎸🎹🎹
Absolutely sublime. And how Buck's solo mimics phrases and motifs from Jimmy Page's Stairway solo is obviously deliberate and beautiful...
Algún latino escuchando esta obra maestra?

He makes the 🎸 solo sound like it's effortless done a true masterpiece of 🎶💕💙
2021 stil listn since 1982
Possibly my favorite video ever
One of my all time favorite bands. Underrated my A$$, not from me. 'Nuff Said!
Masterpiece...awesome performance!!!
This song live is a monument ! I really love it and listened for it so many times on "Some enchanted evening".. it's really nice to see this capture . Thank you for it
As soon as I discovered this one on " Some Enchanted Evening " , I was hooked. My favorite song by them
The guitar and drumming are top notch in this performance!!!!!!!!!
I've seen BOC multiple times live , but never this song. This is one of the best versions because I love the video from 1976...
What a deeply talented band
Wow what a piano ...what a tune ... i wish i lived those days ...
I was blessed to see this at Weedsport Speedway, maybe 1982, Anyone else see it with me? Crazy concert, life was good!
With Aldo Nova...I was there.
What a great fantastic band, so underrated. I had all their stuff as a teenager. Saw them live many times.. always a great show.
“The nexus of crisis, and the origin of storms” what a line
does not get any better than this. Hands down
I was born in 76..... what an amazing song ...pure progressive rock .....and Metallica cover is also astonishing.....fantastic ...what a great band ...good times those days.... Cheers from Brasil...
I was born in 78.
Metallica is my favorite band. My dad listened to Blue Oyster Cult.
That's why I'm here. I can see why Kirk loved these guys. You can hear it in his solos.... Incredible.
Same here, born in 76, discovered this treasure thanks to Metallica.
One of their best tracks. If not their best
quelle belle époque ça !
UN BRAVO PER BRUNO......
LO MERITA!!!
Buck reigns supreme and blows my mind everytime

This masterpiece is for you father...up there...✨
An i grateful for this upload? Yes I am. So many years before my time but forever grateful for this band.
Seen them live three times in 75 right before their big breakout. They never disappoint!
Legendary and most definitely CLASSIC Buck right here

I live about 5 minutes away from where it was. Wish I could travel back in time and witness all the great names that used that stage.
This video should have the most views on youtube.
They were awesome in concert. I saw them in 1982 in Rochester NY. Amazing concert.
I first saw them on Nov 4, 1979. My favourite band ever!
Love BOC ! Saw them around 4 times and got to run lights for them one time.
How is Buck playing both guitar AND drums at the same time? That's talent.
Hard not to love this song 😎😎😎
Simply The True BLUE OYSTER CULT!!!
What a good song for today 02/10/2023
Saw them in Brighton England in the 70s.One hell of a terrific concert.
On every 'greatest guitarist of all time' list I always add Buck. One day I hope he'll get the recognition he deserves!
Absolutely amazing
A NY treasure… the Godfathers of OCCULT ROCK. Eric Bloom is so underrated. One of the coolest front men & best lead voices in rock. Buck Dharma is America’s best rock guitarist.
Took almost 30 years for people to catch up to just how amazing BÖC is.
The best live guitar solo ever!!!
My respect to Eric Bloom, he really know how to write a mistic song with only 7 minutes i apreciate that
Nola. 🤝
there's some mysticism hidden in this.
It's name is Sandy Pearlman...fuckin rock genius
Totally
Yeap!
indeed
without a doubt.about soul more than the body
Лучшая версия этой песни. Соло партия просто бесподобна.
Best live performance of this magnificent epic
Strano che un gruppo fantastico come qst non abbia fatto il successo di altri gruppi all avanguardia di quel tempo. Sto pezzo non ha niente da invidiare ad altri pezzi rock di quel tempo
2024 still one of the best live ever
This is phenomenal. ❤️
I saw this concert. Outstanding
Quel morceau magnifique, excellente qualité merci merci
Just saw them tonight in Fredericksburg Va.Took my 21 yr old son and he liked it.I sung every song.
So amazing
Awesome song
Eric’s voice is amazing on this song!! 🤟
Maaaaaaaaan this is awesome
One of the few originals from Garage Inc. that I prefer. Amazing!
Metallica's version cannot hold a candle to this. BOC is a masterpiece of a band.
Great work
Just a masterpiece of 🎶 if you 👂💕💙
Watching Bucks picking attack during the solo always blows my mind. Dude just beats his guitar
4:16 I love this part
“the gravely digs of mine WILL SURELY PROVE A SIGHT!!!”
Absolute masterpiece ❤❤
god bless you for sharing
How does this not have more views?
they haven't accepted the blue oyster brotherhood like we have, and now we're on our way to saggitarius. you must let go. now YOU are Desdinova
Thx for sharing this legendary piece from the legendary band!
Simply wonderful!
First time I saw these guys live In St Paul civic center, one big ass round building. General admission. It was loud, it was smokey, it was fantastic.
Perfeito 🇧🇷
Thanks, Bruno, this song always gives me pause both musically and lyrically. I still haven't figured out what it's about and at this point don't want to know but the level of musicianship itself was rarely equaled.

I cannot understand what this song means..
The song is part of the bands long imaginos story line
His acting adds up even more perfection to his voice goddamn....
Gigantesques absolument
One of my favorite bands back then, It is great to see them on a come back with the new album they just released.
lol
Totally 🧙♂️🌛👾🌃🛸🕜🕠🕣🕕
Listing since 1977 vry underated band
My fav song so far
