Blue Oyster Cult - R.U. Ready 2 Rock (Live at The Capitol Center, 1978)

[@softhotty]

This show was my very first rock concert. I saw this show in Jacksonville Florida, April 1978. They had a laser show that blew everyone away along with their performance. Angel opened...Never forget it.

Atlanta, Georgia......are you ready to Rock and Rollll!!? Well please welcome....from New York City....🤘

[@georgejetson4378]

I was at this show. RIP Capitol Theater, Passaic NJ.

[@paulmcdonald1173]

It is the Capital Theater in The Aashimgton DC area, not the Capital Theater in NJ. 5:34

[@MAGNUM2F]

saw them do this only once back in 84. I love this song.

[@Ok-551]

It’s a crime they have not been voted into the RR HOF. BOC forever!

[@thecarolinashreds196]

Yes it is brother. They should have been inducted years ago. The dumbasses can put Dolly Parton in there. They need to shut the doors on the Hall of Shame.

[@tmack4605]

F the RRHOF!!!

[@RobertLansing-mg8kc]

not sure they care - who would

[@nathandodge665]

Not influential enough

[@SXYColombiana]

Sooooo wish I could have been there in person! 1978 was an awesome year for music!!❤❤❤

[@softhotty]

Yes it Most Certainly was. GREAT YEAR !

[@gtate135]

The Amazing Blue Oyster Cult!

[@robertcubinelli4961]

That heavy bassline and incredible drumbeat just can't be beat, baby !!

[@mikefisher2673]

Saw them at my 1st concert when I was 16 in 1978.

[@dougbazley9715]

I was 15. First BOC show in 1977. Over the years, I got to know Albert. As a drummer, it's been a real privilege

[@yairbadillo6068]

How is possible that this hand doesn't has more fame? They're amazing! Greetings from Mexico!!

[@mikefisher2673]

Saw them in 78 in Oakland California, still one of my favorite bands.

[@Eddiebeerman]

I was there

[@markstrasberg4573]

300 .......Saw them in 1974 at the San Diego Sports Arena.

[@gleisonferres]

Great music, great Jam.

[@Bigrosty44]

There is a whole lotta beef rolled up in that song by that great band.

[@Michael-Philip]

I only live to be born again.

[@Buttery40]

This music really turns me on. I love it so much.

[@johnryan3160]

it doesn't get any better

[@josiespringfield4808]

There is a whole lotta bEEF when it comes to this song. Crescent City Ca is full of ROCKS!!

[@madmonk66]

You can hear the awesome drums so much more than on Some Enchanted Evening.

[@psychodelicrock12]

Plus you can hear Albert Boushard’s harmony vocal more clearly

[@reindeerbermy3796]

very awesome

[@chrishutt8]

BOC were the quiticential diverse sophisticated hard rock band but occasionally would throw you an anthemic party song like Cities, Godzilla. Marshall Plan & R.U. ready to Rock which was no doubt written as a show opener for the Spectres tour!

[@machocomacho9312]

More cowbell !!!

[@daveconlin8342]

1 2 yeah we're really gonna rock now!!!!

[@williamsherman1089]

God Rock music was so cool,wished new bands still played it.

[@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

[@jb-yi4di]

@@PastorinoOlivier Dude! Man that is such a cool groovy laid back vibe of a song. I subscribed so I can listen to more after work tomorrow. I really dig it.

[@PastorinoOlivier]

@@jb-yi4di Thank you Jeff. It's still my favourite song we did with Rudee. I love the others too but this one has a special thing. We will release a new song in 2 or 3 weeks (this week or beginning of the next should be a cover of INXS) and this new song will be our heaviest to this day. Can't wait to complete it.

[@mrfunball5204]

Well, let me think about it for a sec...YES I AM!

[@panosanest7625]

What a band

[@rurdy2rk380]

Yes we are more than ready!!!

[@cuttlefisch]

Awesome!!!

[@RobertLansing-mg8kc]

has to be their total peak - love this album

Blue Oyster Cult really rocks New York. Oh yeah brother.

[@machocomacho9312]

Needs more 🐄 bell !!! AWESOME!

[@nickspencer2207]

YES I AM!!!

[@Lowgun5]

Sound quality is not great, but what a great song and a great band.

[@bradpack6294]

Don't have a clue to why this song is my second favorite of theirs behind my fave, " Astronomy " ?

[@sunjester8254]

I don't know that I'd put it that high. For me it's about their mid level to maybe above. It's better than stuff like Quicklime girl, though.

[@sweetleaf4860]

GOT TO NJOY THIS BAND THE K-SHE 95 BIRTHDAY AT THE UNION STATION IN ST. LOUIS. ... OH YEAH Weed Me

[@ckarwosk]

Buck on a Les Paul! Yeah!

[@psychodelicrock12]

I really wish he still was on that Les Paul.

[@rogerdebougainville889]

If they'd only rocked more, and harder ..... then they could be in the so-called "Rock & Roll Hall of Fame" with Janet Jackson, Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie and the others... lmfao and smdh .

[@tennesseeridgerunner5992]

Did Bloom know how to play anything but barre chords?

[@williamsherman1089]

Doesn't matter muso, B.O.C. was a band not one person. And they rocked.

[@tennesseeridgerunner5992]

@@williamsherman1089 Yes they rocked. That's why I'm here because of that fact. As far as Bloom playing barre chords only, it was just an observation. Secondly, I never inferred that because Bloom seemingly played only barre chords that it somehow affected their ability to kick ass. Never thought it mattered much either, obviously it didn't, well that's not true. I think IMO, that B.O.C's live sound would have been beefier had Eric played a more consistent rhythm guitar.

[@tennesseeridgerunner5992]

That's what I'm hollerin'! As bad ass as they were live, it coulda sounded, as you said-"beefier"if Eric had indeed been more consistent. Was something I always wondered because it always seemed to me that Eric sat about half the song out in his playin'. Anything more than simple barre chords and he just held the guitar. This in no way dampens my enthusiasm for B.O.C's music, just something I have always been curious about.

[@jamesdailey6796]

1978,Pauley pavilion S.California...B.O.C. put me in a trans w/ subliminal lyrics & lazers hitting me

[@Hamchunk1968]

No. In the BOC book, he said he only knew three chords when he joined, and at the time of the interview, he now knows four! 😆

[@nikosatsaves3141]

The thrashy side of boc

[@sunjester8254]

This isn't thrashy. This is more funky with the bass and drum. Something like Dominance and Submission is thrash.

[@sunjester8254]

I think it might be joe, but someone is singing off key a lot.

[@905Alive]

Whoever filmed this and recorded the music hopefully never went on to have a career in the industry, the mix is way off and the camera shots miss just about everything .............ugh

[@sunjester8254]

I could be wrong, but I think it was their tour manager, Steve Schenkman. It's better than not having the footage at all.
