Blue Oyster Cult - Cobo Arena, Detroit, MI 1976 (AtticRock Remaster)

Next May, close to its last days, will mark the fifty years of the release of the wonderful Agents of Fortune album.
On September 11, the same year, Blue Oyster Cult played an impressive concert at the Cobo Arena in Detroit with Spirit as special guest plus Angel preceding their show.
This comes from a stereo recording that suffered some problems, mainly on the left channel, and were repaired as possible.
Taped by JEMS and transferred by Mike Ziegler, thanks guys!

All in all, the perfect setlist was there already in 1976. They will add Godzilla later on and that's it. The story continues until nowadays.

This being a great setlist, for me a better one can be found on ETL Live, their double live album from 1982. It has Black Blade, Joan Crawford and the fantastic Veteran of the Psychic Wars. I don't think Godzilla would enter my top 20 BOC songs.

Thank you! Would you happen to have the recording of Angel's set from this show?

AtticRock said...

I don't, nor the Spirit's set.

Gman said...

Those darn Angel shows didn't get recorded much...

Godzilla rocks! Like The Reaper it's overplayed but I loved it when Spectres first came out. BTW part of the Angel set is on TLD
