Did not know there was actually a Pre-FM recording from the Black & Blue Tour till I found this (not really sure how long ago). When Rosebud & I came together we bond on our mutual love of all things Black Sabbath & Heavy Metal. I tell this story a lot, but I asked Rosebud to marry me at a Pantera, Black Sabbath concert. It was during the song "Becoming" by Pantera. I look over and see my 5foot 2inch girlfriend had her fist in the air singing along to the chorus "I'm born again with snake eyes, becoming God size" and I said "Please marry me", there was a couple next to us that heard Rosebud say yes and smoked a joint with us. It was a great night. This is Rosebud's 1st Rosebud Pick of 2022!! What a way to start!!

JustDave's Notes:
- All I did was do a very light declick to each file and index the commercials and BBC hosts comments. No retouching of the audio was done at all.
- The record label scans were included in the original upload, the cue sheet scans come from Discogs.

Another great show from the mighty Blue Öyster Cult! I've had the luck of having seen Blue Öyster Cult live more times than I can actually remember. See there is a haze around when this was broadcast. Well, they say "... If You can remember the 1980s You weren't there." I beg to differ. If you can remember the 1980s You did not participate enough (or was that too much) and should have tried harder (remember or not remember we are all getting old so soon none of us will remember!).

Blue Öyster Cult made the set list for this tour from fan comments on their web site about old songs left out of the sets that they would like to hear. You get "Tattoo Vampire", "I Love The Night", "Golden Age Of Leather", "This Ain't The Summer Of Love" and "Divine Wind" (one of my personal favorites). A lot of Classic B.Ö.C. songs are played so enter the Way Back Machine Blue Öyster Cult fans and smoke one for me during "I Love The Night", Raise Your can of beer on high during "Golden Age Of Leather" and sing out the chorus of "Divine Wind" nice and loud so all can hear you!! To me it's one of those I don't take sh## from anyone songs....

Now there is a different version of this show complete with the opening act Aldo Nova and cover art that floats around the net. This is not from that file set, it's from a different taper, I believe. However I will be posting the Aldo Nova show as well since the person who taped this version of BOC, taped Aldo as well.

justdave's notes:
Alleged European only live LP released by Blue Öyster Cult. It's not being sold on the bands website or listed. There is some pretty bad fluctuations in the sound during "Dominance And Submission". The bass goes in and out of the mix, sounding real bad when it comes in. I actually find it hard that this was actually marketed by Blue Öyster Cult. The label says that Sandy Pearlman was Executive Producer and it was released on the Castle Communications label. It sounds like a un-mixed soundboard recording to me. The soundman seems to be having a hard time with mixing the bass through out the recording. I am not saying it is a bad listen, it's not. It's actually a nice listen.

It is also out of print so I figured I would post it here. I have a few more out of print live albums that I will be posting. This is the 1st of a series.

This audio comes from my VHS Bootleg of this legendary show. I bought this VHS copy from a guy in the parking lot before a Black Sabbath Dehuminizer show. The guy had a variety of bootlegs in the trunk of his car. For $10 and a doobie (no lie) I got this low generation VHS. The film was shown late night in theaters. I remember when I seen it people were acting just like they were at a concert, smoking, drinking, and cheering along.
