I'm 62. I saw BOC in the late 70's. They became one of my favorite bands after that. I still listen to them today. They still sound fucking great.

[@geoffmcnew5863]

DITTO! ...except, I'll be 62 in May

[@brnrik500]

Me 2! They played at the Ionia Free Fair in Ionia Michigan in 83. Best concert ever. no comparison. 🏆🎸🏆

[@PFB1994]

This really is a brilliant song. Nothing else sounds like it. It doesn't sound like The Beatles, the Stones, Sabbath or Zeppelin - it is 100% original, but still so classic. It almost comes from nowhere and is incomparable.

[@razorsharpe3371]

@Pfb1994 And hence the beauty of these incredible musicians, no one sounds like them.

[@martigrant1145]

They still sound and look awesome. A song I've heard a million times and I'm still not tired of listening to it. Thanks BOC for years and years of pure enjoyment everytime I've listened to this song. The way music should be.

[@moinarc1]

what a song. What a band.

[@valenzuelatirzo]

Pure passion, pure 70s- the best ever

[@gherat]

damn what a great song! Heard this for the first time when I was 14 in the intro of The Stand and was blown away by it ever since.

[@donross6650]

One of the greatest rock bands of all time, BOC.!!!

[@robertohernandezd.3455]

My Time Machine Music!!!!

[@Onecrunchypickl]

Its lyrically beautiful. And deep. .. amazing

[@robertglancy4474]

Best version I ever heard of this song, I have been a fan since the mid 70's and have seen them play numerous times over the years. Don't don't know what club they're playing but it's perfect.

[@1pritzel]

Classic song, just like an expensive bottle of vino....with more and more ageing it gets so more interesting and sweeter..🏆🏆

[@judyschwartzkopf7987]

Wow what a great band love

[@mnpd3]

Those two guys have a tight harmony. The original recording was keyed in Am; here they are playing in Bm with Buck having tuned his guitar up a whole note.... the rest of the band simply played two-frets higher. Which is odd --- aging vocalists tend to lose their upper register and want to take the key lower, not higher.

[@mt.shasta6097]

Hey, you do what you can.

[@marksiniard9731]

Needs more cowbell!

[@brybrun]

More COW BELL!!!!

[@danilodelgiudice1931]

[@grantcheney5070]

If I could time travel to a past show, It'd be 1980. The "Black and Blue" tour. Black Sabbath and Blue Oyster Cult. What a double bill!!!

[@christopherdavis1805]

Incredible! I have chills going down my spine. You don't hear music like that these days.

[@GTRrocker84]

Yes you do, Magna Carta Cartel for example

[@bobyoung1698]

In a rock era when people still danced, BOC's work didn't resonate with a mass audience. But the hip listeners didn't care. Their material was storytelling, backed by stellar arrangements and powerful playing. They're one of the best in my opinion.

[@brnrik500]

You come off intelligent🏆🎸🏆 Rock on brother👏🇺🇸👏🏆🎸

[@bobyoung1698]

@@brnrik500 Thank you!

[@frankgross135]

Been listening to this song since I was in high school. Will be listening to it on my death bed. Love it! Love B.O.C.!

[@PastorinoOlivier]

BÖC is one of my favourite bands and certainly the most influencial on my work as a composer / musician. I would love your input on the first video of my first album. It got the attention of one of my heroes Joe Bouchard (ex bass player founding members of BÖC) who is following us on Soundcloud but returns from people who likes same music is always the best. If you have just 3 minutes to listen and a bit more to comment, that would mean the world to me. Keep rockin' : kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqbCoWStl8Z2l5o and also covers on our KZbin page plus our version of Astronomy to come real soon : kzbin.info/door/AmHkrbPSluJvfQuedZw7DQ

[@wasiswillbe1010]

and it'll be available to listen to after u stand or fly up off your death bed :)

[@daveb4678]

I'm in the same age group and i know where your coming from Frank . The best of the 70's and the best of BOC....

[@rossr7323]

My dad played it all the time when I was younger. Learnt to appreciate the guitar solo massively. Sad to say he passed in 2019 but it was his curtain close song as we left the crematorium. Ill have it at my funeral 100%

[@janefriel6895]

Same.Best year ever.

[@bobbieswift2874]

When it was first released, we all knew it was a work of art. But then, we realized it was actually a masterpiece which would transcend time. Wow!!!

[@mikemeeds4648]

Love this song.im 74 yrs young still rocking

[@vincentbrady4263]

What a great band, one of the most underrated.

[@purpleperson417]

Yeah very under rated

[@johnnydogs217]

💯🎬

[@jaysantos536]

Agree with that statement. HOF worthy.

[@metalslather]

I disagree. Well respected. Most of us rockers love these guys. First class pioneers.

[@georgehays4900]

Misunderstood by many.

This song just isn't the same without Gene Frenkel. RIP buddy!

All our times have come Here but now they're gone Seasons don't fear the reaper Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain, we can be like they are Come on baby, don't fear the reaper Baby take my hand, don't fear the reaper We'll be able to fly, don't fear the reaper Baby I'm your man La, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la Valentine is done Here but now they're gone Romeo and Juliet Are together in eternity, Romeo and Juliet 40, 000 men and women everyday, Like Romeo and Juliet 40, 000 men and women everyday, Redefine happiness Another 40, 000 coming everyday, We can be like they are Come on baby, don't fear the reaper Baby take my hand, don't fear the reaper We'll be able to fly, don't fear the reaper Baby I'm your man La, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la Love of two is one Here but now they're gone Came the last night of sadness And it was clear she couldn't go on Then the door was open and the wind appeared The candles blew then disappeared The curtains flew then he appeared, saying don't be afraid Come on baby, and she had no fear And she ran to him, then they started to fly They looked backward and said goodby, she had become like they are She had taken his hand, she had become like they are Come on baby, don't fear the reaper

[@chrisrose1463]

Nor do the wind, the sun the rain, we can be like they are

[@euanelliott3613]

Don't Fear The Reaper was the favourite song of one of my best friends Scott Morgan. He was killed by a truck driver who fell asleep at the wheel, over his hours for driving. The truck hit their car head on, Scott was 18, his mate Simon Harthman also died aged 21. Also memories of Nancy Loomis and Jamie Lee Curtis driving to their fateful encounter with Michael Myers in 1978.

[@oswing]

all hail !

[@mariotau1]

They still sound and look awesome. A song I've heard a million times and I'm still not tired of listening to it. Thanks BOC for years and years of pure enjoyment everytime , very Masterpiece !

[@aderrrt]

Undoubtedly one of the best guitar pieces ever written....timeless.

[@NoKiddingProductions]

Everyone: That song is so amazing! Me: His guitar looks like cheese.

[@IanThatMetalBassist]

Buck himself calls that guitar the "CheeseBerger"

[@anns1921]

you're right... it does!

[@vjpk3243]

Thank you for bringing this video back! I have really been missing this one. One of the best live videos ever! Thank you Blue Oyster Cult!

[@KoltiraMemeweaver]

One of my all time favorite songs! I love many covers of it, but nothing beats the original for me. Legendary tune.

[@rickmunroe5078]

This gave me the chills. Incredible one of my favorites

[@johndoe2635]

That's because its real talk 😆

[@MariCornell]

In all honesty when the bridge came, I always like get kinda shaken by it... This was the first band that like haunted me... And when the bridge hit here, it was that same feeling in my gut... Like it dropped and just sat there... DOPE

[@andyginterblues2961]

I got goosebumps. This is rare for me.

[@DesertDigger1]

Taylor Swift could take a lesson or two from these guys.

[@jankuit1926]

Terrific performance. My question is: you can clearly hear the legendary cowbell, but who is playing it?

[@CageDalton]

It doesn’t matter where I’m at or what show I’m watching this song always finds me. This is my greatest song of all time let’s keep rocking boys and girls. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🌹🌹

Fuck... now I got tears in my eyes because my mom just went through this a month ago.

[@TurtleFL]

"It was clear that she couldn't go on." That's the line that killed me just now. That was a month ago.

[@TurtleFL]

I couldn't sing that line. I couldn't.

[@bodenhamling5728]

I’m sorry for your loss man. Such a powerful song

[@CrazyLG72]

I love the key they're playing this in B instead of A so cool calm and amazingly tight as hell..

[@wendyraye]

Why do you think they changed it up? How did you notice this? I’ve always wondered what keys songs I love are in - if there’s a connection. Also, major or minor and the differences?

[@CrazyLG72]

@@wendyraye either it's easier for Buck to sing it in B minor or the band just wanted to play it this way,possibly easier on the guitar

[@wendyraye]

@@CrazyLG72 thanks!

[@falsemcnuggethope]

@@CrazyLG72 You can tune the guitar up and down however you want, so that's definitely not the reason to change the key. Usually bands play in a different key to make the vocals sound better.

[@michelewaldman-goodwin1976]

Saw these guys with Albert Bouchard for the 40th Anniversary release of Agents of Fortune, Beverly Hills April 2016. Albert played Cities on Flames for encore with their current drummer. What an epic show! Albert is married to my best friend!

What you are forgetting is that's the speed they played it during the coked out 70s.
