EXTD=Originally Released September 1978\nCD Edition Released 1988 ??\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: Blue yster Cult marks time with a second live album on which they turn out good, if redundant, concert versions of recent favorites like "(Don't Fear) the Reaper"
EXTD= and "Godzilla" and add to their repertoire of live covers such oldies as the MC5's "Kick out the Jams" and the Animals' "We Gotta Get out of This Place." A perfectly acceptable, completely unnecessary souvenir record from a hard-touring band of the
EXTD= '70s. (It should perhaps be noted that the mid- to late '70s was a period when more live albums than usual were being released, especially in the wake of Peter Frampton's massively successful 1976 album Frampton Comes Alive.) -- William Ruhlmann\n\
EXTD=nAmazon.com Customer Review\nHypnotic and beautiful., December 25, 2005\nReviewer: Stuart Winer (Boston, MA USA) \nBlue Oyster Cult had very few songs which broke into the mainstream, but they define the early Goth/Heavy Metal niche perfectly and so
EXTD=ld out every arena in the world back in their prime years in the 70's and 80's. When I watch Spinal Tap, it's BOC they have right in the cross-hairs. They're easy to goof on with their cosmic BS and oblique, poetic lyrics, but BOC is authentic. With
EXTD=out any radio play they've become a 2nd-tier band over time, but they're the real deal. \n\nThese guys are a poor man's Pink Floyd with a more rock-oriented sound. The live version of Astronomy here is just a sublime piece of guitar work. It's easil
EXTD=y as good as Clapton at his best and will make them immortal. It alone is worth more than the price of this album. The rest of the songs here are excellent live versions of their 70's hits. You can hear the warm summer evening in the ampitheater in

EXTD= was happily in the third row when this was recorded. This was one of the last shows before the government made BOC stop using the extensive laser show (which some said would hurt the poor kiddies eyes). I wish the selection was a little more repres
EXTD=entative of the whole show but they were great anyway. I saw them four times during the late 70's and next to their show at the Omni with Ian Hunter(save for a drunk who was working out some homosexual angst, not realizing that Ian is straight in sp
EXTD=ite of "all the Young Dudes"), they were never better. This is a great album, but for first timers, I'd suggest ON YOUR FEET OR ON YOUR KNEES which has the blitzkreig version of ME 262. Still, even without the lasers, this shows one of the late '70'
EXTD=s better live bands at their peak...\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nGood in parts, July 31, 2001\nReviewer: Robin C. Smith (NY United States) \nThis was a little disappointing to me when it first came out. ETI is not a patch on the studio version (w
EXTD=hich had a really great guitar solo), Godzilla and RU Ready 2 Rock are fine, I suppose, but have little "extra" to justify a live effort, and Don't Fear the Reaper is very inferior to the studio version. "We Gotta Get out of this Place" is a good co
EXTD=ver, but really not particularly inspired. But, having just said all this, "Astronomy" is just superb and the band really get moving on this track with Buck Dharma soloing like a mad thing over the top - great stuff and miles better than the studio 
EXTD=version. I also like the wild speed and guitar work on "Kick out the Jams" - excellent stuff and a track that suits BOCs talents. So, if you want to have the best Astronomy around (and it really is a gem) then buy the album, otherwise you are probab
EXTD=ly better off with "On Your Feet or On Your Knees" which is much more menacing and less commercial. The sound quality on "Some Enchanted Evening" is a good deal superior than "On Your Feet or On Your Knees" though which is better for the ears.\n\nAm
EXTD=azon.com Customer Review\nOne Brief-But-Monumental BLAST!, December 12, 2000\nReviewer: Henry R. Kujawa ("The Forbidden Zone" (Camden, NJ))\nIt blows my mind to think this was my first B.O.C. album! I'd heard "Reaper" and "Godzilla" on the radio and
EXTD= that incredible cool cover painting just drew me to the LP in my record store. I didn't even realize 'til I got it home it was a LIVE album! But what an introduction! So many live albums in the 70's suffered from poor sound quality, when compared t
EXTD=o studio productions. NOT this one!! A sonic blast of power, mood & melody (a combo all too rare in the rock biz) this starts with a bang and never lets up. B.O.C. went on to become my #1 favorite rock band-- who'd a thought it? "R.U. Ready 2 Rock" 
EXTD=is definitely better here than on SPECTRES, though I like both versions of "Astronomy" (hearing the beautiful, moody original on SECRET TREATIES after this was quite a surprise). One major beef with this CD is CBS incompetently used an INFERIOR vers
EXTD=ion of "We Gotta Get Out Of this Place" instead of the one on the LP; that later turned up on WORKSHOP OF THE TELESCOPES, but dammit, it should be HERE!! But then, CBS's reissues of B.O.C. to date have been notoriously slipshod. This STILL manages t
EXTD=o be a cool CD, even if it should have been better, and works very well together with ON YOUR FEET OR ON YOUR KNEES, as none of the songs are repeated between them.\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nBrings Back High School Memories, December 5, 2000\nR
EXTD=eviewer: JOHN SPOKUS (BALTIMORE, MARYLAND United States) \nBOC was eleventh grade for me. I hooked up with my first band and we played these guys, Black Sabbath, and Rush to death. The live version of "Astronomy" really did it for me. In retrospect 
EXTD=though this isn't Cult's best live album. For one it's so short, and it was only made after they had done just two more studio albums since the double live On Your Feet Or On Your Knees (their best live album). It does have other high moments; "ETI"
EXTD= smokes, we get the only Cult live versions of "We Gotta Get Outta This Place" and "Kick Out The Jams"(but give me the MC5's original any day over this one). "Don't Fear The Reaper" sounds weak in the vocal department here."RU Ready To Rock" was a s
EXTD=illy throwaway from their worst record up to this point, so why include it here? I get the feeling that this was probably a contract filler album while they were in a little bit of a transition;manager/producer/ guru Sandy Pearlman got the axe befor
