Thanks, Always love BOC. To think there is a restored version. is awsome. Thanks Guys. ❤ ty for the hard work. Even after my heart surgery I never gave up. Cause all this music I played at Victoria Hospital while recovering gave me hope. Love you all. ty. ❤
@@sKraat528 Bro, Blue Oyster Cult, Bad Company, and the Eagles ruled so much back in my day, but the even better thing was, the 1970s ruled all music.✌🏻🏈😎🇺🇸🎸
I really love this song but in spite of denials it's really about suicide, just listen to the lyrics. That does not upset me, it's really great lyrically, suicide is part of our existence. Who hasn't felt like ending it sometime.
@@leesulkowski6238 it's not about suicide, it's a about accepting your own mortal condition. A lot of people have that fear, not knowing what awaits them after death, but this song says you don't have to be afraid of death, you need to live your life without thinking about what is going to happen in the end, because that's the only way you can be happy, "Seasons don't fear the reaper, nor do the wind, or the sun, or the rain, we can be like they are, cmon baby don't fear the reaper". Buck wrote that song because he was diagnosed with some irregular heart activities, and that made him think about his own mortality, How he could die at any moment, and how he could have died at a young age. And it also talks about eternity, like when the song says "Valentine is done, here but now they're gone", or when the song talk about "Romeo and Juliet", that part is not actualy emphaciszing the fact that Juliet commited suicide, but the fact that she had faith that her love would be waiting for her in the afterlife, a thing Buck was also thinking when he wrote the song.
That solo at the end almost brought me to tears. Ive been a fan of this song for year but never heard this live version. The respect I have for this band!
Yes! This beautiful outro solo is underrated even by some BOC fans. It has speed, tone and melody that are nearly matchless. My favorite live version of Reaper.
It’s on the ETI live album. It seems like the guy who produced this video probably meshed the video and that recording together (even though that doesn’t fit his description).

My brother passed away today at the age of 63. This song makes me think of when we were young and he would take me for a ride in his Barracuda. RIP big brother
I've seen them live several times over the years, going back to THIS tour as a matter of fact. They are a PHENOMENAL live band, solid musicians all around. They're still touring, I saw them in Kansas City a few months back, and this song still kills live. BÖC, on tour forever.
Many years ago, I dated a girl who was a pot head, mainly because her parents were old hippies and her mom was her supplier…I was told. But when this song came on, she’d say, “don’t fear the reefer!”
Love it! The world has gone crazy, accumulating "stuff" blowing each other up, killing the planet, at the end of it, we are here then we go somewhere else. They don't put pockets in shrouds. Learn, love, protect the planet, Oh and have a good time too!
The robot voice at the beginning is awesome! BÖC has such a cool, mystical vibe to their songs. Plus, it is a crime that Buck Dharma is such an underrated guitarist.
Listen for the last note of the solo, it holds until the second line of the next verse. You can hear it steady through the hook at he beginning of that final verse, then drop out right before the line "came the last night of sadness". Its hypnotic yet you dont even realize you're hearing it until you listen for it. Once you hear it, you'll hear it forever. A subtle touch but an integral part of the song's mesmerizing quality.
Rick, nice catch. It's tough to get past the mastery and beauty of Buck's guitar playing here, but you are so correct on Joe's bass work. It is clear, precise and driving all the way through. His backing vocals are superb on this as well. BOC
I love the way Buck takes already "awesome" songs to even higher levels with his seamless live extended solos - here, on Veteran of the Psychic Wars, Astronomy (Some Enchanted Evening version), and Last Days of May... just to name a few. The guy is "SO" underrated, even among most who would consider themselves rock fans.
Love this song so much- no doubt they tired of playing it (I've heard it thousands of times never tire of it tho) but- speeding it up so much hurts to hear. Otherwise great sound.
This song reminds me of mine and my brothers child hood.... we had a massive falling out many many years ago and we were out at a family gathering and this song came on and we both burst into tears and hugged each other and all was forgotten.... this song will always have a place in my heart....
I saw these guys in person like a decade ago and they did a huge solo for Last Days of May. If I still remember it, then it was a memorable experience baby
I cooked for these guys for a week. They were recording and the studio mom had been fired and I was the only one there who could cook. They were super nice and appreciative. I don't think anyones loved my cooking so much in my life. it was only three of them.
I saw them at the Golden Summer Night festival in Germany in 73 while stationed there. They had this gigantic PA system with speakers all around the crowd. When they did Godzilla, the intro was this rumbling thunder sounding footsteps that sounded like it was coming from behind and someone in the band said in a wicked voice "Something very large is heading our way". What a great band that night along with Ted Nugent, Manfred Mann, and others.
You bet! Everyone loved them for the new sound they had. The girls in my high school were crazy about them. If you drove your van or car downtown and had Don't Fear The Reaper blasting, you were cool. I miss those days. I enlisted in the military shortly after and found that they were certainly liked by many in other countries.@@mpicewe3023
this song gives me the heebie jeebies when i listen to it at night, just the fact that he's singing about death so calming makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up
Definitely, don't fear death. You will fly. You will experience whatever you imagine. Once you are free from the fear, only then will you start to live. Blessings to all. This song is brilliant. 🙏🏻🌏💕
I attended this concert at the Hollywood Sportatorium in October 1981 while I was still living in South FL and attending Florida Atlantic University. It was a GREAT concert. Long LIVE Rock n' Roll !!
Sounds awesome...this is about the same time my brother, Mike, saw Blue Oyster Cult in concert - one of our all time fave bands. He always said it was the loudest concert he had ever been to and his ears rang for 3 days....R.I.P. Mike and you will always live on in the music that I listen to my brother.
+Julie Wortham - R.I.P. also for my brother, Rick, who said the same thing when I dragged him and our youngest brother and had prime location for the sound to get funneled into our ears.
Yep...have seen them many times since the mid seventies. They are always loud. The loudest concert we saw them play was in one of our closed department stores. Strange place for a concert.We even took my then seventy year old mother to one of their concerts because she wanted to go. My late husband and I have been friends with the band since the early eighties.
Buck's performance here and Prince's performance at the George Harrison tribute while my guitar gently weeps are two of the greatest on guitar ever bar none !
BOC is something special in my book. One of my favourite bands. Whereas other bands in the early days of “heavy metal” pushed the sonic levels more, BOC retained a more subtle approach with an emphasis in the eerie and atmospheric-heavily influenced by the conceptual input of Sandy Pearlman and others and the band’s psychedelic roots. To me they created a catalog far more intriguing and varied than any other band
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' : th-cam.com/video/Pu_p1wbaCa8/w-d-xo.html and new song th-cam.com/video/-rJM5HtXMK4/w-d-xo.html
Last live concert for me, this song was done much better in 79 they had a lazor light show. Damm i cant believe that was mu last live concert, sht i was only 25.you know i had to give this a little thought and it was actually 77 and iwas only 23. Damm brothers and sisters life moves much to quick
Ahhhhh maaaaate🌪🌪🌪 How awesome is this tune! Always loved this tune but the first time hearing this live performance, One of the best bands & tunes of all time! & absolutely Buck Dharma is one of the best, if not the best guitarist of all time, what an epic showcase! That is immense! Love it! Thank you Blue Öyster Cult🙏🏼God bless💫
Yeah, Buck was firing on all cylinders at this concert. I too love the sweet tones and notes he finds in this outro. It should be as famous as Stairway to Heaven.
I was discovering BOC, Rush, Genesis...etc all at the same time. Right around the time this concert came out (early 80's). Mind-blowing!!! This entire show can be bought on CD (or MP3 these days!) as Extra Terrestrial Live. Get it!
Yes although very different I think a lot of people can appreciate Rush & Blue Oyster Cult .. inventive/imaginative songwriters & great musicians all ........
I was at this show! I was 19. One of my best concerts ever. This live version is the best, in my opinion. Stellar guitar solo from Buck (my all-time guitar hero).

Don't fear the reaper and sultans of swing are the two songs with the most characteristic and mind blowing melody that you can't stop listening.
That sultans of swing isn't swung always makes me chuckle
You chose two classics. Now consider “Shooting Shark’, and “Skateaway”.
Hot take Buck Dharma > Mark Knopfler

It really is the best I keep coming back to listen to it for years now
This song has always kept me in a freaked out state
Absolutely the best recording of this song that I have found. It's a keeper...
Smoking. Because the band is on fire!
You can hear every note of that clean solo. It's a real solo not a dist mess.
I just miss the cowbell on this one.
Are you still alive after 4 years?
Gotta agree 100%

Dharma is one of the most underrated guitarplayers. Listen to "Veterans of a psychic wars". That solo is a religious experience.
Sooo great....hear them playing at monsters of Rock in Kaiserslautern 1983....will never forget these times....
Thin lizzy where there too🥰
if there has ever been one timeless song, this one has to be it
True!
This and Freebird
The solo just takes the song to another place, and another level!
You think this one is good??...Go watch his solo on the song Veterans of the Physic War from this same concert...Out of this world.
Donald Buck is quantum. Plus he sings very well on many BOC songs.

Sorry for your loss, he was young.
So sorry for your loss...he could have 20 more years...don't get the point....😢
One of the best live bands of all time. I was fortunate to see them in 1984, what a great show.
Their vocals have always been so beautiful.... This song is legendary.
For sure!
Never credited for the vocals yet its a strong point.
The Lyrics are Great
But needs more 🐮 🔔
Why do these vocals sound even better live? 😍
And the harmonies though.
But lacks cowbell
its faster and transpolated to higher note. Also Bass is more dominant here.
@@pleasenohate7505 i dont hear any cowbell

I told my wife the same thing
I'll have Burning For You on my urn
Despite an obvious lack of appropriate cowbell, this concert is the BEST ROCK CONCERT OF ALL TIME.
It’s missing something.
Buck Darma, just fluid on the guitar. Saw them twice in New Orleans back in late 70's
One of the best pieces of Rock history ever recorded, unbelievable.
The robot voice at the beginning is awesome! BÖC has such a cool, mystical vibe to their songs. Plus, it is a crime that Buck Dharma is such an underrated guitarist.
Better than original sound. I really love this version.
Had no clue that BOC used to throw down live like this. NASTY.
Either you weren't around in the 70s-80s , or you were living in a cave. Jesus.

GOAT Guitarist imo. EVH got alot of credit for doing things that Buck was doing when EVH was in diapers..
I had dream about my dad and I'm just wake up and really missed my dad, this is his fav song all the time.
RIP DAD
Sorry for your loss, Carlo. He had excellent taste though.
Imagine being in the front row for this shit in 1981.
they nail it here, nice vocals.
Love this song so much- no doubt they tired of playing it (I've heard it thousands of times never tire of it tho) but- speeding it up so much hurts to hear. Otherwise great sound.
Buck had a different voice. Not powerful like Eric, but nasally and soft. Works better at times than others but it seems to work well in this show.
Timing and tuning are unbelievable for a live performance 👏
This song reminds me of mine and my brothers child hood.... we had a massive falling out many many years ago and we were out at a family gathering and this song came on and we both burst into tears and hugged each other and all was forgotten.... this song will always have a place in my heart....

Great story.
sounds like alcohol was involved
I'm making my husband a playlist called 'Remember to listen to good music',
including this song of course!
please include Big City Nights. my Pops loved The Scorps! ;-)
That solo on the way out of that song is one of my favorite Dharma solo of all time, just amazing. Buck Dharma is one of the best without a doubt.
Laura Andrews listen to his own albums some song called summer night he made some great solo stuff
Same here Laura. The notes, the tones....perfection.

Amazingly satisfying tune. I'll bet BOC never got tired of playing this monster hit.
Gets tired. Still on tour forever.
The tone that Buck has for this particular set is unmatched
Dang near the same on Some Enchanted Evening-1977 I do believe-listen to the version of Don't Fear the Reaper-recorded at The Omni in Atlanta.
+++the changes are so pronounced and awesome!!!!!

I saw them probably 5 times in the 70"s opening for others, but this is my all time favorite rock song. They killed it live.
The lasers were fucking great too! I always left their shows amazed!
I saw them at the Golden Summer Night festival in Germany in 73 while stationed there. They had this gigantic PA system with speakers all around the crowd.

Nothing wrong with too much Rush tho
Yes although very different I think a lot of people can appreciate Rush & Blue Oyster Cult .. inventive/imaginative songwriters & great musicians all ........
Alex Marr fuck ya listen to them daily
I wish it were 1977, I am in HS, at this concert and stoned out of my mind! But.. that was a long time ago!
I bet it feels like last month..
Why, why as we age do the years go by like minutes?
Holy shit this is fricken tight man!! awesome vocal chorus, sky high guitars, in your face drums, spanking bass wow.
This is a masterpiece!!!! Love it!! miss those times!!!
I was at this show! I was 19. One of my best concerts ever. This live version is the best, in my opinion. Stellar guitar solo from Buck (my all-time guitar hero).
Wow! That guitar work. I fear the reaper less listening to that.
wow
THOSE BASS LINES AND VARIATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!
1981 a kid this rocking on FM radio, what a summer to be a kid!
