The Öyster boys have one of the most unique and awesome catalogs in rock history. Their “hits” don’t even come close to the genius of this incredible treasure of the American Rock scene!
The organ player is the late great Allen Lanier! Sadly he died in 2013 but except for 1 year in the 80's he performed with them until 2006 when he retired. Amazing keyboard player and also second guitarist! Then Came The Last Days Of May is a song you should definitely react to, the studio version first. But after that the live version off of their 2002 live album A Long Day's Night is an essential watch that features an amazing guitar solo from both guitarists. Also some information that might be useful is, yes like others have pointed out in the past, all five original members have sung lead vocals at one point. Blue Öyster Cult is a band of musicians, and every one of them plays at least three instruments.The lead vocalist is Eric Bloom, who you've certainly heard. The lead guitarist is Buck Dharma, the softer voice who sang basically all their hits, like Don't Fear The Reaper and Burnin' For You. The original drummer, Albert Bouchard, was the one singing the higher parts on this track, and he also sung the outro on Baby Ice Dog. His brother Joe on bass sings a fair amount of songs as well, but I don't think you've heard any of them yet. Allen Lanier only sang on one studio track (besides a couple outtakes) but nonetheless True Confessions is one of my favourites on the album, it's got a very nice jazzy vibe if you want to check that one out as well. Cheers and I'm looking forward to more reactions!
On Your Feet or On Your Knees Is A Great Live Album With The Classic Line Up Of The Bouchard Brothers (Albert on Drums and Joe on Bass ) Eric Bloom, Allen Lanier and Donald ( Buck Dharma ) Roeser !! Saw Them Live Back in The 70's !! I'm Old !! LOL R.I.P. Allen Lanier !!
Thanks for your kind words about this Band , My all time favourite . In time , maybe you may give listen to my second favourite band , Asia .( Both have a very big , underground following ) . Thank you for another cheerful and well presented Video .
Secret Treaties, I Had That on An 8 Track Tape Back in The Day !! The Whole Album Kick's Butt !! Also Saw Them Live in 74 Opening for ZZ Top !! Also Saw Them At A Concert in 75 They Were on Before The Headliner ( Styx ) They Blew Styx Off The Stage, I remember People Were Leaving Including Myself !!
Well hell, you have to do "Harvester of Eyes" and/or "Flaming Telepaths" from the same release. I'd request their quintessential "Astronomy" as I feel the original studio version has no equal, but you already did a live version....
You should check out The Allman Brothers Band. They had six incredible musicians. Gregg Allman was the vocalist, songwriter and played organ in the band. Start with Don't Want You No More into My Cross To Bear from the first album.
I'm tempted to send this song/lyrics to the local tv weather people...the lyrics are out there man!! The drumming is fresh and poppy too...love the BOC
The Horsemen arrive, Harvest Moon, the seige and investiture of baron von Frankenstein castle, dance on stilts with me, morning final, I love the night, heavy metal the black and silver, nosferatu, here comes that feeling again, those ones are great
Their latest album "The Symbol Remains" from 2020 is their best in several outings. Should give some of the newer tracks a listen also: "That was me", "Box in my Head, "Tainted Blood", The Return of St. Cecilia", & "The Alchemist" are all fantastic and top form B.O.C.
Chod, you continue to impress.. I may have even requested this a few moons ago. Here's some more.. "Workshop Of the Telescopes", " E.T.I.(Extra Terrestrial Intelligence)", "Morning Final/Tenderloin"(Vinyl Version), or "Searching For Celine"..
Recently discovered your channel and I'm really enjoying your reactions to the great music. Among others I've watched your reactions to Lee Michaels and Traffic, as well as Joe Cocker singing "With a Little Help from My Friends." So I want to recommend another by Joe Cocker. It is a song by Traffic called "Feeling' Alright." Joe takes it and makes it his own. It out does Traffic's version -- not an easy thing to do. If you can find his studio recording, try that, if not see if you can find his live version during his Mad Dogs and Englishmen Tour. You won't be disappointed!
Ooooh Wilburn tell me what you got dodo dodod dodo :) \m/ One of my absolute favs. Other songs i put in same bucket: Carreer of evil Sally * Transmaniacon MC
Another change of pace song by BOC is the beautiful "I Love the Night." Any song on the Agents of Fortune album would be great. Most of the songs are very different than Don't Fear the Reaper, which was the big hit on the album.
Mirrors est mon album préféré. Très mélodique avec beaucoup de swing et de finesse. Et tant pis si les vieux fans du BOC (qui ne sont pas très ouverts musicalement} ne l'aiment pas,
I just noticed you up loaded this on my birthday, Listen to "Monsters", ''Devine Wind" (If they really think we're the Devil then lets send them to Hell), and "Flaming Telepaths" (and the jokes on you !!). I keep telling Reactors to quit listening to their Patreon and their suggestions and listen to us Your RUclips Viewers and not to them as far as their RADIO SONGS suggestions !! Just say no to Radio Hits !!
Many fans consider this the weakest link on arguably their best album. I don’t get it. I think the song rocks. Always liked it. Sometimes miss the writing of Albert. But the album is fantastic. Anything else from this album would be awesome.
Blue Oyster Cult "I Love The Night" & "This Ain't The Summer Of Love"
The Öyster boys have one of the most unique and awesome catalogs in rock history. Their “hits” don’t even come close to the genius of this incredible treasure of the American Rock scene!
They are so much more than the radio stuff. They never the recognition they deserve.

Thanks For Reaching Deep on Blue Oyster Cult !! This is Without A Doubt One of My Favorite Albums By BOC !!
Chod, you need to check out the Blue Oyster Cult song, I Love The Night. It's a hauntingly beautiful tune.
Well hell, you have to do "Harvester of Eyes" and/or "Flaming Telepaths" from the same release. I'd request their quintessential "Astronomy" as I feel the original studio version has no equal, but you already did a live version....
Flaming Telepaths kicks ass! The entire Secret Treaties album is fantastic from start to finish. My favorite album of all time!
Really diggin these BOC tunes. Going to see them next month for their 50th anniversary tour. You have a lot more to discover. Lol.
ME-262. More old school rock and roll. Nothing like it all of music.
I think he did that one awhile back.. last year.
@@4tuneagent Right on! I missed it on his video page. I'll give it a listen.
I knew that once you heard just one song from one of the first three albums you were in. Looking forward to more (Teen Archer!), thanks!!!
Tyranny And Mutation! What a great album. It has such a hard edginess.
Wow, if I heard that without context, I would have sworn that was Deep Purple. Love the 70's rock.
I also thought of Deep Purple.
The Vigil and I Love the Night. Great Songs !
Then Came the Last Days of May is also a great song !
Soooo many great tunes.
You should check out The Allman Brothers Band. They had six incredible musicians. Gregg Allman was the vocalist, songwriter and played organ in the band. Start with Don't Want You No More into My Cross To Bear from the first album.
It's so lonely in the state of Maine. Secret Treaties is meant to be listened straight through.
Agreed This album is perfect
Every great cut flows into the next one seamlessly
I'm tempted to send this song/lyrics to the local tv weather people...the lyrics are out there man!! The drumming is fresh and poppy too...love the BOC
The Horsemen arrive, Harvest Moon, the seige and investiture of baron von Frankenstein castle, dance on stilts with me, morning final, I love the night, heavy metal the black and silver, nosferatu, here comes that feeling again, those ones are great
I've heard that an episode of The X Files was based on this song. Creepy clouds indeed.
Their latest album "The Symbol Remains" from 2020 is their best in several outings. Should give some of the newer tracks a listen also: "That was me", "Box in my Head, "Tainted Blood", The Return of St. Cecilia", & "The Alchemist" are all fantastic and top form B.O.C.
Another banger from BOC
Chod, you continue to impress.. I may have even requested this a few moons ago. Here's some more.. "Workshop Of the Telescopes", " E.T.I.(Extra Terrestrial Intelligence)", "Morning Final/Tenderloin"(Vinyl Version), or "Searching For Celine"..
Old one = Cities on Flame With Rock and Roll

MONSTERS or BLACK BLADE from Cultisarous Erectus.
He just did Monsters and it blew him away!
😊👍
Please try to get to “The Vigil” and “E.T.I.” If you haven’t got to that one yet
Bein' chased around by the neighbor's cat....
☮️💜
They have 14 albums
I like Stairway To The Stars and Hot Rails To Hell by them.
Mirrors est mon album préféré.
Très mélodique avec beaucoup de swing et de finesse.
Et tant pis si les vieux fans du BOC (qui ne sont pas très ouverts musicalement} ne l'aiment pas,
BOC is really at least a album side review know what was coming next and it not being there was a bummer. Just found you great work!!
Hoping you're not saving "I Love The Night" till last!
There's not a bad moment on Blue Oyster Cult, Tyranny and Mutation or Secret Treaties, all the black and white albums.
ETI live
can you do a reaction to Dead Forever by Buffalo
Believe it or not the words mean something.
I just noticed you up loaded this on my birthday, Listen to "Monsters", ''Devine Wind" (If they really think we're the Devil then lets send them to Hell), and "Flaming Telepaths" (and the jokes on you !!).

What's going on Fast Talking Taco if you were working at Taco Bell you would have have so many tacos out there they would be flooding the streets
Flaming Telepaths is a way better song than this...for one. Almost would say this is the weakest track on this album.
Still is a good tune though, as is all BOC.
Many fans consider this the weakest link on arguably their best album. I don’t get it. I think the song rocks. Always liked it. Sometimes miss the writing of Albert. But the album is fantastic. Anything else from this album would be awesome.
Indeed
You can tell Albert was “influenced” by Zeppelin’s Rock and Roll with the Drum intro.
