R. U. Ready 2 Rock? (Non-LP live music video) - Blue Öyster Cult

[eveningtsar]

For a moment there, I thought they were going to break out into UFO's "Rock Bottom". Now there's a jam I'd like to see!

Most live vintage BOC video is, unfortunately, in poor shape, and this one is no exception. The boys ARE hitting on all cylinders in this one though, and it's become my favorite for the song performed live. Thanks Durandal1717 for the gem.

[MrSaulgravy]

4:08- 4:15 CRACKS ME UP EVERY TIME

[Ph3L1z14n0]

Moronic title >:( ?! BLASPHEMER !!!

[Drizzlerman]

3:58 guy in the corner looks like 'so what the fuck are we doing exactly I thought we were rocking?'

[ih8tbush]

Is this Detroit 1978 (King Bisquit) ?

[MACKMAN61]

Hardest working band ever.............

[felthefighterofdead]

are ready 2 rock

yeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaa

[Drizzlerman]

3;59 guy in the corner looks like 'so what the fuck are we doing exactly I thought we are rocking?'

[BARRIEMOREBARLOW]

I'm really ready now.....no, really.

[unclejoemama]

Good choice for Hindu RnR's. (Only live to be born again) Did you know the lord Krishna had 16108 wives & 10 kids with each. Hare F@%*!n Krishna. No wonder they think he's supreme diety. Think Viagra cross references Vishnu & Niagara Falls.

[dsoibel]

I actually have 2 agree with mr knight {not 2 be racist but hip hop is jungle music}

[slant40]

THERE'S THE 72 LP Deluxe again! What an awesome weapon he wields.....(ex. at 4:43) ...great stuff from The Golden Age of Leather days.

[Durandal1717]

Raise your can of beer on high...

[myway43]

Funny thing is I have always wanted to have a guitar sound like Bucks. Several years ago i had the opportunity at a guitar show to buy an early 70's l.P. deluxe for 700.00. I had no idea that Buck used a deluxe when recording this album (Spectres). It was in a little rough condition, but I think now I would have bought it. I have considered buying an Agile Al model and converting it to mini-humbuckers to try and get his sound.

[dsoibel]

I listened to spectres a lot when I was 1o.

[atltom58]

I first saw these guys back in 73 and will be seeing them july 19th at The Grove in Aniheim. Im looking forward to spending some quality time in the Buck Zone its been way to long since i last saw them 81 in honolulu with black sabbath

[ChemicalHakusho]

My dad has a tape (audiocassete) of this concert that he used to play for me when I was still in the cradle. I love this song!

[culbrainMC]

Alan Lanier's organ is great here (as opposed to synthesizer on the actual live album version). Don't know where the film footage (not video) is from but the audio is from King Biscuit Flower Hour Radio Broadcast from Detroit in 1978 from which many songs (but not this one) were happily added to the 2008 Legacy Edition CD of "Some Enchanted Evening". This clip has shown up on VH-1 Classic, More please.

[Durandal1717]

I always preferred this version as well, the one that showed up on SEE always sounded far too thin for me; too bad it didn't show up on the remaster, I would've far preferred a duplicate of this than a cover. The last 2 remasters were pretty disappointing in all honesty...

Another rabid fan gave me a 3-DVD set with tons of miscellanea: interviews, promos, live clips, etc. but I've happened to have it lost at the moment. I'll get the rest up soon as I find it.

[cuttlefisch]

So cool!! They played this when I saw them first in 1989!! Great memories!!

[gearheadpa1958]

Love em! Times were tough back then...Golden Age of Leather was my theme song for years...

[ladiezroom]

the title might be a bit moronic, but the song is very well crafted, especially the backing vocals ("who will rock with you"...) are not the easiest to sing

[ILKKASALONEN]

Blue Öyster Cult are the most underrated rockband in the universum.They are just so f***in great in live and have a many superb albums to their credit.Fantastic and mystic band which i have loved for over thirty years...Mind you this song is another great one....

[cuttlefisch]

"Celestial the Queen" is a real gem from "Spectres", as is "I love the Night", an absolute classic.

[hogcontroller]

The R.U. in the title refers to the Czech play, R.U.R., Rossums Universal Robots from 1921. The play is the first work to popularize the term "Robot".

[trevizons]

I love and admire BOC, one of the greatest groups ever, Buck Darma is one of the greatest guitarists ever, how I wish I could see a reunion of the classic line up, Albert, Joe, Allen, Buck and Eric performing again, and recording a new album.Long Live BOC. (Watch Mike Rutherford in the Genesis 1976 concert video I know what I like wearing a cap that says Blue Oyster Cult).

[FatwNker]

Needs more fuckin' cowbell.

[chispajaguar]

los vi en 2004 en richardson tx. y realmente son impresionantes larga vida a BOC y viva Mexico

[carrienurse]

Thanks Durandal1717- This isn't from either "Live 76" or the "Black & Blue" tour. Too bad the video quality wasn't better. Audio sounded pretty good. Do you know who or how it was recorded? ALWAYS great to be able to watch the Cult in their prime. A rare treat indeed.

[DaysOfMay]

Yes, as a matter of fact I am. The title *is* depressing, but the song is kickass. Nice to see Eric in the zone :)

Specters... Hm... Death Valley Nights is my favorite off of that one. Wonder if YouTube has anything DVN-flavored.

Also, BÖC, what's wrong with Europe? It's a nice little continent, the people are optimally disturbed, some are willing to give out cash to strange bands... One might even say it's tour-worthy.

Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. NUDGE. NUDGE.

...

Please?

[Durandal1717]

As far as I know, aside from the occasional UK tour, they like to neglect Europe. Sad, I know... What's worse is the massive diehard fans-only show that everyone's been waiting for has only one date, set in NYC, meaning that even those of us in the states are as unlikely to see it.

As for Spectres, to be honest only Nosferatu and Fireworks spoke to me on the level of previous work. Death Valley Nights and this are also good, but overall it was pretty much depressing as the titles.

[Charm91]

Just a tip, you chould also write Oyster and BOC on the taps, because when people seach Blue Oyster Cult without the ¨ over the O, you don't find the song, and most people don't want to seach on Blue Oyster Cult, so they just use BOC

[Charm91]

WOW!!! Nice video, nice band, nice song and nice drums 03:33. Long Live Blue Oyster Cult!!!

[nalc892]

ERIC BLOOM-vocals, guitar

JOE BOUCHARD-bass guitar, vocals

DONALD (BUCK DHARMA) ROESER-lead guitar, vocals

ALBERT BOUCHARD-drums, vocals

ALLEN LANIER-keyboards

[clubninjarock]

The guitar reminds me Mississippi Queen. This tune rips...both on Spectres and SEE. This song is actually the exact opposite of lame. It's is just killer. dee bend..

[Gordyal]

Good stuff!

[custardpie40]

now this is a basement tape if i ever heard one...wow!!..

[Spectres]

I'm a diehard BOC fan (hence my handle Spectres)...

They like to open their concerts with this song..but I never did like this song. I remember when the first time I listend to the Spectres album, even then I thought this song was kinda lame.

I'm going to see them at a Indian Reservation this coming Wednesday...sitting 6 rows back, right in the middle. SHould be great...I haven't seen them in 8 years.

[shujinco2]

LOL, Saw them at Beloit Riverfest this last Summer.

[DangerousBastard]

Hey man, I just realised Blue Oyster Cult invented text message language before there was such a thing! lol

[fluffyxdestroy]

Why are the letters abbreviated? As if most rap songs don't dumb themselves down with misspelling and intentional oh "poor-me overtones". It was catchy and original back in 1977.

[myway43]

It dosen't get any better than this. Back when rock and roll was still fun, and meant for a good time. Take notice younger players.

[miamigroove]

awesome! way better than the Spectres vesion...anyone know where I can get a copy of the whole concert?

[CaptiainQuark]

actually, there is a remaster of Some Enchanted Evening that just came out, and has a bonus DVD with it, so that should have the concert.

[untroubled]

Hey, I really, really, really wanted to see Astronomy live, from Some enchanted evening. This is good too, but if you got Astronomy upload it! :=)

[whompus02]

"Some enchanted evening" ..one of the best albums (CD's) I've ever owned

[ozbocfan]

Buck Dharma is THE most under-rated, neglected, forgotten, overlooked and generally not talked about guitarist of all time. BOC have been my favourite band since "Secret Treaties" first made my ears bleed back in '74 and nothin' that has come along before or since has ever threatened that opnion. May they rule for ever!!!

[john141161]

awsome seen them newcastle city hall for this tour, they rocked that night.

waited outside for autographs no go because the were recording a live album they were busy newcastle city hall is the best venue or was

[fnord23]

SOFT WHite UnDErAZZ! LOL

BOC Rox

[joe2m]

Another of my favorite live songs the band does. Long live one of the fathers of modern metal.

[RENEGADENATION]

AMERICAS ANSWER TO BLACK METAL but seriously listen to the lyrics and read them to all thier songs it will make you think BLACK METAL / Rock ?

[RexCarson]

See, kiddies? That was back in the day when people knew how to play!

[asteroid47]

The best thing ever to come out of America!! Hallelujah Praise the Lord!!!
