I always enjoyed their shows, saw them several times back in the day.
Fwiw, the fact that BOC isn’t in the so called Rock and Roll HOF just goes to show that organization is full of it.
I was a late concert-goer, didn’t go to one until after I got out of the Navy...my first concert was supposed to be The Who in Providence, RI, a few months after I got out of the Navy, but the concert was cancelled because of the stampede that killed a bunch of people the week before.
My first concert ended up being REO Speedwagon (which my friend called “REO Meatwagon”...and then I saw Blue Oyster Cult from up close, and my ears are still ringing today! I could not hear a damn thing when we walked out, I remember saying “WHAT?” “WHAT?”
Hahahahaha....we loved it loud. I think all young people did.
