February 23, 2020

Variety Playhouse in Atlanta

• Blue Oyster Cult

• Variety Playhouse

UFO was originally supposed to open this show but had to cancel as Phil got sick. Good News was the Blue Oyster Cult performed 2 full sets. Eric Bloom & Buck Dharma are the only original members now and have very competent band around them. This was surprisingly our first time seeing BOC. I can’t stress enough that over the last 20 years there has always been an obstacle whether it was another obligation or being out of town it was always poorly timed when they came to Atlanta. Finally I was happy to see Eric & Buck. They are still in fine form and to get to 2 sets was a great way to see them for the first time. Set one: Mandalorian walk on music, Dr Music, Before the Kiss A Redcap, Burnin For You, ME 262, Harvest Moon, The Vigil, E.T.I. (Extra Terrestrial Intelligence), I Love The Night, Hot Rails To Hell, Cities On Flame (With Rock N Roll) Set two: The Red & The Black, Golden Age of Leather, Career Of Evil, Shooting Shark, OD’ed On Live Itself, Teen Archer, Transmaniacon MC, Buck’s Boogie, Then Came The Last Days Of May, Black Blade, Godzilla, Guitar Solo, (Don’t Fear) The Reaper Encore: Dominance & Submission
