To kolejny wykształconych i dobrze (ambicji: bohaterki prostu nie można I can't say, but that night the world was mine all mine. Blue Öyster Cult had played the Liverpool Empire. And they didn't know it but it was all for me. Just for me. Oh yeah... and for Ridgey too. I also remember the flash cubes because I took pictures at a Buffalo NY show where Be Bop Deluxe opened for them and all that came back were little blobs of light that look like the photos of UFOs that you tabloids! I was at this gig the main thing i remember is when father came to pick me up from the show he told me he could hear the encore quarter of a mile away from the building. i remember the 5 guitar part and that it was amazing gig! BOC headlined incredible show on Dec. 21 at the Winterland San This was the third time just over a year I had seen the Band. Hot on the release of On Your Feet Or On Your Knees earlier the year, the Group were finishing out the year more popular then ever The line up for this nights concert was Link Wray, whose claim to fame was the late '50's instrumental Rumble. He did not seem to impress the crowd much. He was older dude even '75. He would strike a chord on his semi-hollow body guitar and really work the whammy bar! That was his thing. Kansas was second on the They played a very strong set of American hard progressive rock. '76 would be a big year for them as well, with the release of their excellent Leftoverture and the hit Carry on Wayward One odd memory I have of Kansas was that their guitar player looked very out of place dressed denim overalls. He looked more like a pig farmer than a rocker! The Oyster Boys took the stage to round out the show. I cannot remember the exact setlist, but do remember Stairway, OD'd, Harvester, Last Days Telepaths. The Winterland was very ahead of it's time when it came to presenting concerts. They were one of the first venues to feature live cameras projecting the show onto two large screens flanking either side of the stage. There were cameramen located on two raised towers about ten yards from the stagefront on the floor. Before the show and -between bands they would play footage from past concerts, not just tunes cranked out over the P.A. like was customary. How cool would it be to somehow get your hands on the film of the BOC show for this night! The Group also did Born to be Wild and did the 5 guitar jam at the end. The Band was tight as ever, belting out all their twisted, bizarre songs as only they could. is the master at working the crowd, and at wowing the audience with his guitar skills. I do remember his white satin suit, doing the occasional high leg kick was black leather and shades as usual for this were all fine form for this gig. A from school went with me, he wanted to Kansas, as he was more familiar with their stuff at the time. When the show was over he was a true BOC fan, determined to learn to play guitar. Not too after this show, he bought his first axe a Gibson SG just like you-know-who's! Great concert, great memories of one of the greatest Rock Groups of all time. Great site, I saw blue oyster cult for the first time December 26th 1975, at the Aragon ballroom. I was shocked to that this web site shows as the opening band. That is a mistake because that night the opening act was Artful Dodger then Rush, then boc. If you check the date november 29th 1974 at the aragon was the date that band played. and the way they went over from what I heard I doubt any promoter would have made that mistake twice. Please check it out... I did... and all indications
