In the UK, of all places!! And yet it all started so promisingly. There was nothing going to stop their relentless march towards dominance now By losing Albert Bouchard, the creative heart was ripped out of the band and, for a lot of people, a major part of what made Blue Oyster Cult the band it was, was now gone.

Reviews, missing info, ticket stubs, posters etc etc - if so, let me. If you know, please let me Quick Gig Facts "Rock Superbowl X" Dave Douglass I'm glad to see that someone else provided an entry on this show - I'd lost my ticket stub and couldn't recall the exact date. I was definitely in attendance at this show, my first BOC show ever. As a clueless and wide-eyed year-old just trying to take in the whole crazy Rock Superbowl scene, I was years and years away from having the presence of mind to actually compile and keep a set list, but I've retained some very clear memories of this concert.
I recall that I knew every song that they played, so they definitely did not play "Burnin' For You", since it would be two or three more months until that song and the Fire of Unknown Origin album were unleashed on an unsuspecting world.
They definitely played their three biggest songs up to that point, "Reaper", "Godzilla", and "Cities On Flame".
