Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear the Reaper live

[7Roeth]

not really as good as the studio version

[masonfreeparty]

saturn symbolism is everywhere...grim reaper= chronos aka saturn...freemasons worship the god of saturn..all religion is based on this mindset...

[1991Q]

needs more cowbell

[tjttzcspplt]

Funny, I don't think any of them have taken their own advice so far. Never understood the message. I used to think they said "refer", not reaper. That I could understand.

[maxgabiana]

sad but beauty

[garylongden]

Not a vintage version. The song requires a balance between harmony and kick ass guitar, this sounds a bit insipid.

[WytZox1]

@etrahan4 -- This song was mentioned in BILL & TED'S BOGUS JOURNEY. Remember folks, you may be a king or a lowly street sweeper but sooner or later you will dance with the reaper! Get down with your bad self! LOL☺

[vagenitles]

I'VE GOT A FEVER

[Jessen81]

[constantrvlr]

[reggie46404]

[heightofearnestness]

c'mon baby

[XChiefJustice]

my favourite song of all time by far :) Sultans of swing is my number and and yet it doesnt come close to this song :)

[Dx1249]

85 people fear the reaper

[daffodil977]

Okay, I hate to say it....but it actually really DOES need more cowbell.

[demonpickleofDOOM]

it needs more cowbell...seriously

[tarvolt]

RIP Gene Frenkle... The best damn cowbell player there will ever be

[Helllbilly714]

Respond to this video... the laser hit me in the eye,,,,,,,,gnarly eyeball !!

[mistad00m]

they suck live

[california831rocker]

Just saw them live tonight. It was pretty awesome. I caught Buck Dharma's guitar pick!

[wickedcurve]

@ 2:38 was extremely awkward...

[Haloplayer20]

i can play this on cowbell

[jrod2200331]

I need more cowbell

[slapppyq13]

need more cowbell

[fernandocommando1111]

I mean, BOC is cool and everything, but I don't think they did a very good job with this.

[llabful]

they are rushing it a bit

[ChrisJimmyBear]

@llabful The tempo of the song was greatly slowed down when it was transfered from vinyl. They're actually performing it with the original tempo.

[TheSunburstWizzard]

Anyone who doesn't like this song is going to get caught by the Reaper.

[stoprejectingmynames]

2:35 Oh shit it's the Reaper!!!

[gwhiz221]

82 people fear the reaper

[oskermeyer66]

needs more cowbell

[Hakudohshi]

I gotta tell you, playing this song is a battle of attrition... 

[exponet24]

Never never eat a blue oyster!!!!

[textiger63]

i need more cowbell!!!!!!!!!

[qHeyHoLetsGo]

i thought he was naked

[marlboroman1031]

I just seen them Live a few weekends ago. They played with Foghat. ONE OF THE BEST FUCKING SHOWS EVER!!!!!!

[Drizzlerman]

This is amazing.

[Mystr3MusicManiacMan]

I believe humanity is doomed until a generation learns to be humble and not fear death. Because death is the root of evil.

[Benonoi]

@Mystr3MusicManiacMan: Me thinks fear is the root of evil, but I agree with you nonetheless.

[bubsadoozy]

@Mystr3MusicManiacMan Those two sentences are contradicting. If death is the root of evil then we should fear it. However it isn't and we shouldn't fear it whatsoever.

[Foaly552]

@Mystr3MusicManiacMan Ignorance is the root of evil. Death is the ultimate solution.

[riceburner32]

@Foaly552

Death is not the ultimate solution,

The Ocean is the ultimate solution.

[Foaly552]

@riceburner32 Possibly if you're a fish....

[generalityrandom777]

@Mystr3MusicManiacMan death is not evil why the hell do think that the song say don't fear the reaper you dumb ass there is nothing evil about death its a freaking relief

[YH55]

@Mystr3MusicManiacMan Or is it the fear or death ? I think its the fear

[suzycreamcheesez]

@goldsut only on The Stand but it's a perfect song for it.

[CuddlyBadger]

The studio version is so much deeper, creepier. Live music is so chaotic, but the recording of this song is so hypnotic it takes on a mystical existence. Nonetheless I am so glad to see what they were like live... thanks for presenting this.

[impalafarmer]

almost 1,300,000 views! ALL HAIL BUCK DHARMA AND HIS MIGHTY SG!

[ptplacemike]

I went to this concert in the 70's here in Toledo, Oh. this the closest video to it. They introduced lasers to the concert seen only to have the laser show shut down because of radiation concerns. The best concert by far I have ever been to!

[TheKalen486]

not enough cow bells and you know wat i have fever and the only remedy is more cow bells

[EvilTwisted666]

[mallory7100]

I like the original, but I♥LOVE♥ the version HIM did...

[TheAliBarnes]

This needs more cowbell.

[MatthewMartin23]

Nice! This band has it all here. Great drums, great lead guitar, hauntingly calming lyrics and vocals, solid bass, amazing background vocals. How lucky a band when Buck is singing and Eric Bloom and Albert & Joe Bouchard can perform live background vocals. I have said it several times before and I'll say it again, Blue Oyster Cult is the best hard rock/metal/punk rock band of all time!!!

[nenacasable]

NO SABEN LO QUE ME HACE SENTIR ESTA CANCION SIMPLEMENTE NO PUEDO DEJAR DE LLORAR CADA QUE LA ESCUCHO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jessearon123]

[WyeNotSiamese]

"78 dislikes", you guys really need to take a midol, put on some nice "Barney" theme music, pull out your Crayolas... and write your own music.

[DavidKinner]

@t911101 I saw them with my girlfriend two years ago they are still great live pretty much flawless studio recording still has nothing on them live.

[sessionman54]

UGH..Crappy live version...sounds like a bad top 40 band. I'll take the record.

[greenslimeboyz]

[DeathBlade182]

I have a fever... and the only cure, IS MOAR COWBELL

[greenblue1979]

The only way this song can possibly be even more evil than it already is, is if it had MORE COWBELL

[tdstudd1996]

i love how much they all look like disciples of jesus

[happybrasato]

GUESS WHAT!!!I GOTTA FEVER!!!!!AND THE ONLY PRESCRIPTION,IS MORE COWBELL!!!!!!

[jchduma]

I got to have more cowbell!

[orgixvi3]

Fuck yeaa-... Where's the cowbell?

[HYPERZEPHARIAN]

Seriously, this "Needs More Cowbell" jokes were funny for the first 5 minutes I knew about the joke, but now they just suck...

This song is amazing, especially this live version, even without cowbell; that was just a production imposition to make the song more mainstream. The demo of this song was a soul-jam kind of feel with no drums, and it was still awesome...

[gingermol76]

@HYPERZEPHARIAN Agreed.

[NoNW0]

If there's no COWBELL it's not Blue Oyster Cult  :'(

[balerinauzicka]

cowbell sucks...

[fox110110]
