hope they sound better in August at Silver Springs.......the keyboards are little loud in the mix during this song

Richie's getting more creative on the keyboards. Your pretty good in the cowbell too. BOC on tour forever !

I saw them in 1976 and through 1981. Cowbell never had anything to do with it. There was NO cowbell-just good musicianship.

@NYVoice Hey NY, I'm originally from LI and I was referring to the first comment posted. Like you I first saw BOC on LI in 77, the Ramones opened for them and there wonderful lazer show. I've seen BOC about once a year ever since. Except the years they didn't tour. I'm going to see BOC today up in the mountains of Colorado at Steamboat. Thanks for your comments and I miss my friends and cousins there in New York.

Get outta here! I was there at Coliseum show on Feb 4, 1977. I sat 4th row off to the right all by myself. Yes, The Ramones opened-which after a rather repetitive set were roundly booed off the stage. It was like "they're a club band, not arena friendly".But the Cult nailed it-Albert had a monster solo-and the laser show certainly enhanced their standing as a premier live band (not that their playing was any less superb). It was a snowy night as I recall.

That was me playing the cowbell. I've got mad rhythm.
