Don't Fear the Reaper - played by RPM - Live in Baghdad, Iraq (Blue Oyster Cult Cover)

Here is the Blue Oyster Cult classic song performed by Joe Bouchard and Rock and Pop Masters (RPM) at Camp Liberty in Baghdad, Iraq July 2010.

Rock and Pop Masters played 5 shows in Iraq and Kuwait in July 2010 for soldiers at US military bases. Four out of the five shows were outdoor shows! It was very hot and very dry. The estimated temperature on stage during this performance was 41 Celsius or 108 Fahrenheit.

The cowbell in Don't Fear the Reaper was played by a different soldier each night of the tour. This performance by soldier Akiel McKnight was particularly spirited. Enjoy!
