BLUE OYSTER CULT Morning Final (Live NY 1976)

TheHellenicCult- the best channel on YouTube by far.

Allen sang "True Confessions" from Agents of Fortune. That was the only tune he sang. This is Joe Bouchard.

Good to hear this. I actually have a bootleg tape of another east coast show in '76 where they do this one. At the very end, Lanier does a little piano interlude just like this one and leads it right into Flaming Telepaths, it's really great. Something tells me they didn't play this song live very often, maybe for just a portion of the '76 tour. I wish I would have been alive to see BOC back in those days.

[Drizzlerman]

I heard that Allen Lanier played the bass on this song.

[DrWatson221]

This is Awsome. One of my favorite BOC tunes. Thanks!

Another stunner-gem by TheHellenicCult--Hot Rails To Hell, Nosferatu, Morning Final, Screams.....Is the moon full yet?

[silverfishimperitrix]

This song, along with Tattoo Vampire and Sinful Love, make up one of the most sinister trifecta's ever. Three of my favorite songs ever.

[NYVoice]

Look out Joe! Finally a LIVE version of a wonderful song. One of the great unplayed Cult classics.

[RoeserFan2]

Oh my. Where did you find this gem? Never knew this existed live. What a great song.

[brazenhubris]

Bouchard Oyster Cult. What a great version of one of the greatest BOC songs.

I bet the crowd was iced by that sight.

[porcupineinteruptus]

This song was written and sung by Joe....on the album and here live...

[jwmellott]

Is this the singer from the Album?

[benblood1]

@hellenicCult, are you sure? I understood that Allen sang True Confessions. I've just finished reading Blue Oyster Cult Secrets Revealed, and they were telling how it took many takes to get Allen's vocals on True Confessions like he wanted. Am I mistaken on this?

[daveywaikiki]

@benblood1 I've read Lanier sings T.C. too, and according to boc.wikia.com Allen sang on other demos

[TheHellenicCult]

no..Allen NEVER sung any song besides the demo version of "Dance The night away" (unreleased) on the AGENTS OF FORTUNE lp..this song was used and released later (1981) by Jim Carroll when Allen was his keyboard player at that time.

You can hear that one ONLY on the REMASTERS version CD of "Agents"..

[NYVoice]

True Confessions off Agents. That's Allen.

[HellenicCult2]

@TheHellenicCult well maybe he sung one song..but not more.But the one he sung it's not that one

[GC3459]

@TheHellenicCult Allen sung on lead on True confessions (Agents of fortune), his only original lead vocal for BOC. here it's Joe B! One of his best songs together with Nosferatu and Lightyears of love! (my oppinion :)

[johncorridan4]

I think this Allen singing live. Very unusual

[TheHellenicCult]

@johncorridan4 no..Allen NEVER sung any song besides the demo version of "Dance The night away" (unreleased) on the AGENTS OF FORTUNE lp..this song was used and released later (1981) by Jim Carroll when Allen was his keyboard player at that time.

You can hear that one ONLY on the REMASTERS version CD of "Agents"..

the guy who sings here is the bass player JOE BOUCHARD who plays now in BLUE COUPE with his brother Albert (ex BOC drummer)

[12321booger]

@TheHellenicCult I am not sure but i think too this is Allen Lanier singing.

[TheHellenicCult]

@12321booger not it can't be.This is a Bouchard song,too.Allen never sang any song on stage as far as i know

[benblood1]

This recording was included on the "Dharma for Buck" cd. The cover is pretty much the Spectres cover but has old SF tunes as well as some BOC live. It was a King Biscuit Flower Hour recording.

[DKH1103]

I had no idea this track had ever been played live. It sounds great; it has a real sense of urgency.

[timtt2]

Hi, thanks for posting this; I've always wonder how this sounded live. I saw them once in '78 and I don't think they did it then

[thefewerthebetter]

This is great, Joe should work up a version of this for Blue Coupe! Love it!

[underagedpolishboy]

boneriffic!!!
