This might be the comeback of the century.
When this one came across my email, I smirked. However, there was something in the back of my head that told me that I should give this a listen.
Maybe it’s because of Cleveland. Cleveland is where I had last seen Blue Öyster Cult back in 2010, and it hadn’t been pretty. That being said, Cleveland and I have been on a winning streak, so I thought I would roll the dice.
The last time I had seen the band, maybe it was an off day. Who knows maybe it was me, but what I saw in 2010 left me not caring if I saw the band again. A band I had adored since the early seventies, a band which had never let me down.
I don’t remember the lineup, but I do remember that the show had left me extremely unimpressed, and a little miffed for several reasons I won’t go into here. However, let’s let bygones be bygones.
Here we are on the verge of 2020 when this album will be released (January 2020 on Frontiers Music s.r.l.), and I’ve got to say, I’ve never been more pleased to be wrong. My shirk was shit, and this live set finds the Cult killing it.
