Blue Oyster Cult Don't Fear The Reaper Live 2002

[@russellj.s.257]

It is criminal that this awesome kick ass band is so highly underrated.

[@butch907]

just like ted nugent

[@GK-ji3pm]

I read that they have sold about 40 million records..

The outro solo was absolute fire!! Holy shit!!

[@koolhandlukemakemyday8812]

💯!!!!!

[@370530e]

I’m always amazed by that guitar every time I hear it. It has a totally unpredictable melodic progression and sounds like absolutely nothing else.

[@garybaltiejus7248]

Some songs are timeless and this is one for sure

[@mennobults6464]

Everybody from 30 to 90 knows this song, at least. What you say, timeless.👌👌😎😎

[@neilmorrow9756]

Has to be the best live performance I've ever heard...of the best song ever... in my entire life.

[@stevepickett4453]

Ditto , yip it's so good it's on another level

[@jamessmith4031]

I never get tired of listening to this song. To only turn the volume up when I can.

[@robertbishop5357]

Such an iconic intro and riff.

[@Dviperjr]

Gotta say, I'd love some more cowbell in this version

[@kevinallen1699]

That was perfection at it's perfect perfectioness...... Almost a religious experience.

well, it _is_ a cult

This is a song that I remember from my teenage years. Now it’s giving me new hope as I’m going through a very rough time in my life and I’m struggling with the dark demons of depression

[@steveharris9861]

Me too 😊

[@koolhandlukemakemyday8812]

Hang in there brother. Remember this: Nothing lasts forever! This is just temporary! It means better things are coming into your life. ✌️

WHAT A GUITARRIST FOR GOD'S SAKE... Thanks for sharing... This is just beautiful....

[@Frank-io2yi]

I'm 65 years old and have been to at least 15 blue oyster cult concerts. The first time was in my high school graduation party. I saw them in 1989 with black Sabbath the cult played first they played (The last days of May) for the encore!!!! Then Ozzy came out and Sabbath bloody Sabbath.... The crowd bood them off the stage!!!!!! The cult came out and played another show!!!! I saw them in Baltimore with Uriah heep and stepenwolf... That's right... ROCK & ROLL.....

[@mickymantle3233]

This band live is one of the greatest experiences...ever !

[@greghook2655]

Agreed I saw them live in 1983

[@russellj.s.257]

Yes,seen them in 98 just weeks after I turned twenty,saw them again in 03,2012 and 2015 they are number one on my top five favorite concert attendances with Santana being number two,Trans Siberian Orchestra number three, Robby Krieger number four and Ted Nugent number five.

[@markv.5962]

Just like your 500th homerun

[@mennobults6464]

Most recognizable riff ever.

[@leomcnamee4198]

And, one of the best American bands ever: smart and rock-and-roll at it's best!!!

[@missxsbalanced]

Listening on Halloween 2023; fricking epic!

[@stressederic64]

This is an alltime masterpiece by Buck & Co loved it since it came out and it never gets old

[@dafinkbine9623]

This song was written about being diagnosed with a heart defect and not being afraid of the future. It was not written about depression nor suicide.

[@313motown]

Hit the charts the week my mother died. Ultimate timing. Not a sad memory. She wasn't afraid either

[@anthonypetch1125]

And it Rocks ❤

A song that will never die its here for ever

[@janaandara402]

every time (decades now) I get the urge to hear this epic sound - blows me away more and more...

[@warpspeed9877]

That guitar tone...! Buck is beyond reproach. He is one and only.

[@noahrichardson466]

The distortion is off the charts!

[@leebowens2631]

That damn Buck Dharma is so damn good he makes his complicated guitar playing look easy .

[@WMJCPA]

Buck Dharma certainly nailed it this night.

I saw them do this live last week. It was amazing and the best thing I’ve ever heard

[@jlwjtboyd]

I saw them do it live in 1979. And in 1983. And in 1985!

[@mikedupree832]

This song made the movie Cold Pursuit

[@robertcohen9616]

I whole heartedly agree - best version of this great song. And the lyrics attach to Time, Space, Life, Death, Love. What a metaphysical, existential masterpiece. And saw them live in about 1972 at a small auditorium at the Univ of Tennessee. Who knew what was going to follow.

[@kimmurray8109]

Great thinks are ahead for you.

[@shawncosmos5431]

If there was a text book stating how a band should perform and how a lead guitar solo should sound ( beginning around 4:40 ) then this is it….Chapter 1. Amazing!

[@neilmccafferty5886]

superb guitar technique, true natural and gifted musician.

[@lastamigo4618]

No matter how many times i listen to that solo , just gotta here it one more time . Like a cook in a kitchen , recipe for success , full of flavor . Think we all lived off the 3 chord combo meals back in the day . Foundation of the greatest rock tunes ever made . Still wrestling on whether D C G or Am G F holds top spot ? So many outstanding compositions created from both . Today i go with the latter

[@noclu4u384]

When i first sat down and decided to learn this song i didnt realize just how ecotic the scales are . I started playing along and i had to stop and really listen close to figure it out . This song like this band is very underrated . I saw them in Tampa Fl . on halloween night playing in the street . I was standing no more than 10 feet away . It was killer . Great song .Great band .

[@noclu4u384]

BTW. I understand the spaces . Prestin Hurshberry is likely not a muscian . 😂🤣😂

[@BarkerT]

Yeah, gotta go with Am G F G, rinse and repeat.

I'm not a fan and don't like much else of their music but this brings tears to my eyes everytime.

[@user-ht6xl2lt2j]

I read many comments about how this band is extremely underrated, and it is true, but never forget that many extremely famous rock musicians were inspired by BOC and recognize them as one of the best rock ‘n roll bands to ever roam this planet.

[@WolfRun59]

Around this time, I saw them perform at Buffalo Bills Casino in Primm NV just outside of Las Vegas. Awesome concert, mediocre venue. Love this band. Timeless song. This and Burning for You.

[@jimray2281]

Wow, this might be my favorite performance- love watching the versions throughout the years - my God this one has crazy energy to it! Double metronomes, time ticking away - wish I could share this reaction with Chucky Tester - miss you man!

[@carlitobrigante330]

This is one of the better live versions I've heard, but none have ever come close to the restraint and smoothness of the studio version.

[@RebuttalRecords]

The live version off of "Some Enchanted Evening" is worth checking out.

Hey Carlito, I thought you liked the uptown disco?

It will catch us all. Godspeed ❤

[@vksasdgaming9472]

Reaper is either cheerful goth girl or tall skeleton which speaks like lead slabs were dropped to marble floor that mortals hear as deep, charismatic voice of Sir Christopher Lee. In both cases they provide necessary service.
