First concert I ever saw was Blue Oyster Cult, the opening act for Uriah Heep in Orlando, FL. Probably around 1975 or 1976.

It was the opening song for The Stand written by you know who.

Never saw that. It was WONDERFUL. Myriad thanks. Great song, too.

“I’m Burning for You” was “our song” for me and my first girlfriend.

First concert I ever saw was Blue Oyster Cult as well! I think ‘76 or ‘77. Two backup bands opened for them; a band called Lake (I think), and Cheap Trick.

Whose arm is that in the background behind Will Ferrell on the right side?

By the way, that was when laser light shows started appearing. I thought it was pretty cool, but very primitive when compared to what Trans Siberian Orchestra is doing now!

One of the greats. Guess what! I’ve got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell!

I don’t remember cowbells seeing them at the Allen theater back in 75.

Those early laser lights caused eye damage. I was at the concert in Charleston, W.va during that tour and got tagged once. Always one of my favorite bands.

Can’t be he was standing in front of him and he wasn’t wearing a watch. Note thinking of it, I’m thinking it’s a camera man’s reflection in the plexiglass windows of that faux control booth.

I think that is one of the greatest openings for a movie...that song, as it pans through all the areas of the dead people killed by the virus.

It just...fits. I hate seeing that twerp’s face in that series, though. He is a libtard through and through.

Yet little jerks managed to bring them into the shows, especially the outdoor venues.

Irritated every one no end.

Eric Bloom, of the band, went to my school in Connecticut. He graduated long before I entered in sixth grade.
