Yes ! They need to be in the Hall of Fame - so many great albums and concerts . But don't forget about Steppenwolf , Mountain , or Blue Cheer , just to name some early heavy rock American bands .

Never really thought of these guys as a medal band though some songs do qualify, more like progressive hard rock in my humble opinion. As far as the RHOF goes it's almost like they'll let anybody but good bands in there

I graduated High school in 1974. Seen them many times. First time in '73. Part of the soundtrack of my life!

shooting shark is such a great song. so under appreciated.

dad played this song for me on a tape when I was about 8 years old; still as amazing even in my 30's . This; nosferatu and in thee

Blue Oyster Cult is an amazing and complex band Everything they record in the studio sounds as good or better live My favorite band No one comes close

The Vigil!!! Probably the best BOC song of all time!!!🔥👍🏻

The sound engineer is a master at his craft

Buck " Dharma " Roeser will always be -------> In a League of His Own ! Truly a Wonder ✓ THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH ! A True Genius and Magnificent Guitarist !!! ♦️

Never thought I'd get to see 'Shooting Sharks' played live. So glad I did!

After seeing BOC in concert a couple dozen times, I finally got to meet them in 2001. I had to thank Buck for all the guitar lessons over the years. Eric remembered me from a couple shows and Allen remembered my wife from a show where she got him to sign my Starfleet baseball cap while he was taking a break. It was a night I'll never forget.

These guys present their music so brilliantly. clear, forceful, not overbearingly loud. And usually in a not big theatre for closeness.

Man, Buck Dharma and Ritchie Castellano tear it up on Shooting Shark. WOW.

This is one of the best live recordings of a performance set I have ever seen. Studio-quality, spot on performance, acoustics and vocals.

Buck Dharma you are the Man............... when I hear him play he sets the table for all before and after

Underrated song with great writing from Patti Smith. BOC without a doubt should be in the RR HOF!! Shout out to Kasim for his work with BOC!! Lastly "The Vigil" is one of their best!!

What a great band. Started listening to BOC in “74”.

Best (non-Joe) bass player they've ever had in my estimation.

Kasim playing some "slap bass" that Randy Jackson played on the original version & later taught to Joe in a free lesson .... Buck, Richie & Kasim together here is magnificent ....

Would love to see this entire show, excellent sound!

Absolutely awesome. I love the song Shooting Shark. I am so happy to hear these awesome guitar parts instead of a saxophone, as on the original recording. But the original albums are awesome nonetheless.

BOC is still rippin' needless to say!! They just put on a great show for us in Everett, WA and the wife and I were blessed to see them burn out the night! Thank you Buck, Eric, Richie, Jules and Kasim for a fantastic night of killer rock!

I can't ever remember how many times I have seen these guys. From the laser lights in the 70's to last year. Why do I keep coming back? Do I REALLY need to explain? Killer mix and sound.

gotta love the total mastery of swiss cheesing the riffs. BOC rulez THE original Goth band

The bass line in this song is friggin ridiculous!!!

The Vigil is such an epic song!

This is by far my most favorite performance by Blue Öyster Cult. I love Shooting Shark!

i love the layers and beauty of their music

bon dieu quel guitariste.....rory gallagher, ritchie blackmore, pat travers etc etc .vous faite partie MR BUCK DHARMA de mes guitariste préféré....ça prends aux trippes......merci merci

The Vigil is killer

That was so good ..... they got a groove on during Shooting Shark. Sound quality & playing on both was superb.

What a great live performance! Super stuff…

I’m embarrassed to say that I had not heard this song before. But prior to seeing BOC in Tucson last Saturday, I used this video as a “preview” for the show! What an absolute gem of a song and so very well done!! Then, of course, they played it live at the concert and enjoyed it so much! Great song, great band!!

Ritchie......Unbelievable.....🎤🎸🎸🎸🎹🎸🥁🔥👊🙏

I would pay any money to see them play this. Excellent camera work by the way.

I quite liked this song when I heard the studio version. Then I stumbled across this live version - and I loved it!

The Vigil! I am still waiting too Eric!

One of the best versions❤️

I actually prefer this version compared to the studio version. Buck's guitar is alot hotter and reaches further, amazing.

The drummer is so groovin' - yeah, man!

such a knockout performance

Ahead of it's time "Our lights are dim, our roads are crumbling, and we don't know what to do"

I miss Kasim I thought he was a perfect fit for this later version of boc.

Best BOC lineup I have seen in decades!

Amazing

Song takes you on a journey, like many of there's

Ritchie with a smokin solo then Buck steps up and shows him how to do it and remain as smooth as silk.

Gotta love the Swiss cheese guitar

awesome great camera work , one of the best groups.

One of my favorite BOC Songs

my god this is lovely.

Buck, your the goat. Come back too Atlanta, me Jason and his wife have met you in person and we want to see you again!

The blue oyster cult.i have been in love with this for a long fuckin time

My favorite band ever 👍

Love this song!

This performance is so solid and then they top it off with turning buck loose with two or three time signature changes

Está de poca madre la rola. Es mi favorita entre otras de esta exquisita banda Blue Oyster Cult.

Shooting Shark is one of my favorites

Seriously though, this is great. Buck has a nice voice. This is better than the sterile sounding 80s version.

adoro essa música

I just seen boc about a week ago in Virginia beach down at the beach doing a free concert

Sadly to say, that I never seen BOC. Now whenever this damn pandemic ends I hope they make a trip to NorCal and I will be sure to attend a BOC show.

Seen them many many moons ago when they played at the Contra Costa county fairgrounds almost 20 years ago in Antioch CA.... It was during the fair in the middle of summer...our race team heard bucks boogie start playing and we all ran over to the stage and saw them getting down after the races were over.... We won our division in Sprint cars that night at the dirt track next door and got a surprise treat..... We found out later buck didn't want to play his set till the races were over, it would be too noisy and it would take away from his show and the fans that came to see the band.... Such a cool night..... We kicked ass on the track that night then got to see a bad ass show afterwards...... I will always remember that goofy guitar 🤣 he's had that for as long as I can remember and he also played it at the show we were at that night.... Such good memories.....

goosebumps every time i watch this- i count myself lucky to have seen these versions live

I’ve just checked their setlists from recent shows, and it looks like they don’t even play Shooting Shark anymore. I’m seeing them on November 18th. I’ll be really bummed if they don’t play this.

Serious "earworm" material here!
