This song always brings back high school memories of me making out with my girlfriend in my Camaro and getting my first undershirt under bra squeeze. Thank you, Neighborhood picnic band, for bringing back memories of a 60 plus year old man.
You guys caught me just right, I'm 71 years old it's going on 8:30 at night I ate part of a gummy and I'm starting to feel Comfortably numb. If I could still get around I would pay money to see you guys you knocked it out of the park, Blue Orster cult don't fear the reaper. He's out there no use to fear him✌️✌️✌️☮️☮️☮️ Rock on
Are you kiddin? Nicely done gentlemen! My face hurts from smiling! When my daughter was 13 (now 20) I started turning her onto good classic rock and this is one of her favorites. She even commandeered my CD and still plays it. Also, just for sh*ts I ran this thru my SoundHound app and guess what came up? Yep- Blue Oyster Cult! Thanks, and you fellas keep rockin.
Been listening and watching MANY of your vids, EXCELLENT. If my neighborhood had a picnic there could only be one choice for a band. YOU. To all those that see this go and check out their other posts on TH-cam you will not be disappointed. To those few that follow me WELL it is not always about politics and what is wrong with this country. There is still much greatness and talent we need to remember. These people are showing you AMERICA!
Warren this band has members from all over the political spectrum, yet look what can be accomplished by focusing on what we have in common rather than than our differences.
I was also doing a vocal part. The cowbell kept from doing somethind inappropriate with my hands tee hee. Maybe modern singers should grab a cowbell instead of their junk.
Awesome guys! Loved it, I love this song not just for the hypnotic rhythm and cords but for the lyrics as well. It's a beautiful song about two lovers crossing over to the other side. A lot of people think oh "The Reaper" look out! Not at all. I'm really into reading or listening to stories about NDEs and this song paints just such a wonderful scene.
Thanks Hooch. I did a bit of research about the cowbell too on this song and tried to get it close without having to go out and buy a new one. This one I have had since the 70’s and it, like the rest of us shows it’s age and mileage.
I’m the late Ray Smith’s son (of Heads, Hands & Feet) - my dad would have been thrilled if he could have seen you guys performing ‘Warming up the Band’ - this is instantly my favourite version of this classic track - superb 🎸 🎼 👏🏻
Thanks so much Paul. You should be very proud of your Dads work. I discovered the Old Grey Whistle Stop preformance of Warming Up the Band while researching some of Albert Lee’s early work. I immediately popped in my head as a great tune to start our annual picnic project that year. Thanks for your comment. Many of the songs we choose are in hopes of introducing folks to something they may have forgotten or have never heard before. Check out Sausalito Summer Nights, our cover of a Diesel tune. That one was a song none of us had heard before and like your Dad’s song was a ton of fun to perform.
@ Thanks for your generous reply Mark - I have been spreading the word in the UK about ‘The Neighbourhood Picnic Band’ in-fact I’d love to see you guys performing live next time I’m in the USA if that is possible 🇺🇸 There is a song on the ‘Tracks’ LP (track 6) called ‘Hot Property’……it was also recorded by Chris Farlow, but you guys would absolutely nail it if you ever performed it! 🎸 *Interesting Fact about the ‘Tracks’ album is that it was actually placed into Elvis Presley’s hand in 1972 (while he was in Las Vegas, by the Heads, Hands & Feet Manager) - I wonder if Elvis listened to it or even had intentions to maybe record one of the songs?? All the Best, Paul
WoW!!! Fkn Awesome guys.. Great job on a "Not so easy" song to do and pull off like you just did.. There is a lot going on in this song.. And you fkrs just owned it!! \m/ Respect \m/
Bruce Dickinson: Guess what? I got a fever! And the only prescription.. is more cowbell!
Great cover!!! Just the right amount of Cowbell!!!!
Could really explore the space a little more, though!
More cowbell!
Literally can never get enough cowbell
SNL has nailed this song forever , Christopher Walken says he can’t eat in a restaurant without someone saying “more cowbell”
I can relate lol
Holy FCK!!!!! These guy's are awesome what a great performance and cover!, that cow bell, cheers from Ecuador!.
Very good 👍 gentlemen!
One of the greatest rock songs known to mankind.

Damn these guys are good!
Yes!

Great job all around!
Solid..The soundtrack of us 60 somethings...
Sounds great guys… 🫡🇺🇸
The high harmonies in the chorus, while drumming... amazing.
This song always brings back high school memories of me making out with my girlfriend in my Camaro and getting my first undershirt under bra squeeze. Thank you, Neighborhood picnic band, for bringing back memories of a 60 plus year old man.
lol good times
I got a fever for some more cow bell. You guys rock, just need some more cow bell.
What's with the sleeping crowd? That was a great cover.
Pretty good lead singer. Nice.
No mics were out there picking up the crowd.
They’re eating their chicken. 😅
You mean....it needs more crowd yell?
@@brizzieleif5258 Haha!😂
That was just plain awesome guys.
one of my most favorite classic rock songs
I believe this was Cary Conrad's pick , the guy in the white shirt with the red SG, and good job Cary
Always good seeing Scott play air guitar on this BOC classic; doing the same at home in my chair.
" I got a fever and the only cure is more cowbell "
😂
Only prescription.
I came here for the cowbell and was not disappointed!
These guys are great. Check out their list of videos from different years.
Much respect to some real pros.
Nice job gents! Well done!
A real rock band, yes! Cowbells rock! Get’s this old geezer moving! Thanks to all of you.
More Cowbell!!!
I got a fever… and the only prescription…. Is more cow bell baby 😁
Great cover, great players!
these fellas had more talent in 3 fingers than most of the modern day bands put together..
Lucky neighborhood! Still rockin'
“MORE COWBELL” -
GIVE ME MORE “COWBELL”
WE COULD’VE USED MEGA GUITARS ON THIS TUNE TOO- I MEAN CMON-IT’S BOC!
Wow, that was an unexpectedly very good version from start to finish, good show lads!
The vocals are superb and the guitars are stellar.
At 2:46, three guitars playing distinctly different parts , pulled it off, trickiest part of the song
Lead singer a little pitchy. Not quite on.
@@robertgeorge4064Sorry man , I cant agree with you , , No one covers it better.
@@charlesc.6767 I agree it’s good and I like it. Just heard one area that seemed off a bit. Overall a great performance.
@@robertgeorge4064that happens in live performances. Just goes to show we don't use pitch corrections, it's all live.
Excellent cover 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
świetne wykonanie moje klimaty
Well done. 👏✌🙏
Enjoying watching you guys livin’ your best life!!!
Just discovered this video. These guys are amazing! Come to Michigan and perform!
OUTSTANDING! And tight!
You guys caught me just right, I'm 71 years old it's going on 8:30 at night I ate part of a gummy and I'm starting to feel Comfortably numb.

He's out there no use to fear him✌️✌️✌️☮️☮️☮️
Rock on
Labor Day, wheeling Illinois- see you there
@@caryconrad3298 DAY BEFORE LABOR DAY !!
This goes to show you that we old geezers can rock it out with the classics. The younger generation take note and practice.
Yes, but can they play any Taylor Swift or Beever?
@@jimwind7589 I wouldn't want to hear them play Taylor Swift. I might if Taylor will play BOC.
@@jimwind7589 lol
@@jimwind7589 I'd play with Taylor Swift but not with music
Very good job guys , on this great classic song. 👍
well beyond Blood Brilliant ----- any time, any city, any country, any planet !!!

Thanks DK, high praise !
my son, long ago, only lived with me 3 years, but, long after, I learned he'd listened to every BOC I had.
You guys knock it out of the park - pardon the pun 😬👍
These guys kick ass!!

In all of the years we have known each other (since the mid 60s) I cannot recall a political conversation- just the 🎵
The cowbell player understood the assignment.
I was also doing a vocal part. The cowbell kept from doing somethind inappropriate with my hands tee hee. Maybe modern singers should grab a cowbell instead of their junk.
You guys rock. Not an easy song to cover. I played bass in cover bands for 40😅 yrs. Guys you nailed this song
Fantastic! This song made me want to always sustain notes and get feedback
Just found you guys. You have a excellent band. Really enjoy the videos I have watched so far
I love this! So many try to cover this song, few do it justice. Well done!
Great cover!!!!!!!! I hope all of you are still making music and pleasing the crowds!!!!!!!!! Thank you!
Can I be silly and say, "More cowbell!" Well done, my friends.
You sure can! Thanks!

Feedback at the end of the solo...badass man! Well done guys!
This is killer and a great band💯 .But the way the lead guitarist controls his feed back is superb..nice show guys!!
Thank you ❤
Pretty good cover. I could sit around and have a beer or two listening to these fine gentlemen. 👍
It's funny because the original song didn't have such a prominent cowbell, but ever since the SNL sketch it's expected LOL
Great harmonies by the cowbell master.
Thanks Hooch. I did a bit of research about the cowbell too on this song and tried to get it close without having to go out and buy a new one. This one I have had since the 70’s and it, like the rest of us shows it’s age and mileage.
Awesome cover 😎👍!!!
Nice to see that Parker Fly rocking!!!
Yes, John has it!
EXCELLENT job!!!👍👍👍
Old guys rock
You guys are great!
So cool
Just perfect. You make the original version proud. Your guitar tone is near perfect.
