Blue Öyster Cult -LIVE "Shooting Shark" 2008

[dugworm]

This song is one of my fav's. BOC !!

[Reximus2]

Glad that Eric and Donald are still around. It's kind of sad to see them play such small venues, but they have great talent and will power to boot. No B.O.C. ditty is a slouch in my book. I hope to see them again soon. B.O.C. ROCKS!!!

[RitzvilleWA]

BOC is still simply amazing. PERIOD.

was this in utica ny, august 08 cause if so i was there awesoem concert

[Grumpkin67]

bass tempo sounds pretty close to studio version to me. Just slightly quicker. I've seen many shows by many bands that play songs at a slightly quicker tempo to meet time constraints. It always pisses me off. The studio version is just over seven minutes long. This one is just shy of nine. The tempo excelaration at the end was probably planned,

[LFransson]

Could the bass player please rush the tempo a little more? He didn't quite manage to completely run away with it.

[brianbharris815]

@LFransson hey dumbass, the drummer controls tempo, no one else.

[Caroliner9r]

@brianbharris815 actually dumbass both the drummer and bass player are responsible for this...the bass pplayer has traditionally been responsible for keping the drummmer on track since it was always hardest for the drummer to hear the monitors, but he could always feel the bass.

[brianbharris815]

@Caroliner9r First off, your name is not LFransson, it's Caroliner hillbilly 9r. You must be some middle aged bass player who in your delusional waking state believes that you have actually played live in a band. You contradict yourself within your own answer. You proclaim two people control one function simultaneously. Then you claim the bass player controls tempo due to the bottom end vibration from a forward placed amp. How many companies make bass machines? You sir, are an idiot.

[TheGojira84]

@LFransson Agreed, Rudy's not fit for BOC in my opinion. He's also why the setlist are so boring. I wish Danny Miranda or Joe Bouchard came back.

[Upperstrom]

Bring back the Bouchard brothers! Bring back Allan! This ain't BOC!!!

[brazenhubris]

@Upperstrom

I'm glad they're still playing these songs, for the sake of the songs, but there's something magic about that classic lineup. That many great artists/writers in one room is bound to be explosive.

[flyingvbeast]

I saw them in the 70's and 80's and while they are still a good band, they were something really special back then. It's hard for me to see them now to be honest, playing the Garlic Festival or the Asparagas Festival, it kills me. They have bills to pay and I get it. I was there at the Los Angeles Forum in 1978 when UFO and the British Lions opened up. There for the LA Sports Arena show when Pat Travers opened. Perkins Palace in Pasadena as the Soft White Underbelly. Things change, I'm older too

[brazenhubris]

@flyingvbeast

If they're getting a decent cut of ASCAP/BMI performance royalties on all their hit songs that are being played everywhere to this day, then they're just doing all of this for fun. It's a shame if they're not, because it would have to be a gazillion bucks.

[saxonsteve]

@flyingvbeast You're a lucky Guy!! You got to see them when,i would have preferred to see them.And you got to see Schenker with UFO.Like i said,lucky guy.Keep Rockin,Steve From Boston

[razorhd]

Rudy Sarzo is a bad ass on the bass! Saw BOC a month later in Milwaukee at Harley Davidson's 105th Celebration and they rocked the place. Rudy was in a league of his own with some killer solo licks!

[zdboyinslc]

I saw Buck & Rudy last night in Cheyenne,WY. IT WAS BAD ASS 6/27/09

[inagod]

such a haunting melody,I love it

[inagod]

the guitar playing greatest

[theterrapins]

[zeets93]

Randy Jackson from American Idol played bass on the original recording.

Great song!

[MrDefectiveReasoning]

@zeets93 its sad that you say Randy from american idol instead of Randy from Journey,

[zeets93]

@MrDefectiveReasoning he was never an "official" member of Journey, just a hired gun for the Raised On radio album and tour. No offense, but I'd say most people know who he is from American idol and not the later declining stages of Journey.

[MrDefectiveReasoning]

@zeets93 yeah i know lol i just feel bad that he doesnt get credit as a musician when in fact he is a pretty damn good one

[zeets93]

@MrDefectiveReasoning very true, he is a great musician ( and producer ). Just too bad he's best known for saying daawwwgg on American Idol

[clubninjarock]

Song is goody goody good good. TTMN

[hooglaz]

i think buck skipped a verse here

[Paulie88]

I LOVE this song, but wish they didn't play it so fast this time around... And even at a breakneck-pace it still exceeds 8 minutes, sheesh!

[kosh1968]

can i get a hell ya brothers and sisters!!!
