BOC: Blue Oyster Cult at the Astoria & all

[AerospaceAge Warrior]

I dunno.. Ive got a copy of the SF show with that set list and it works.

Its not an inspired set but what the heck. At least they change their set.
Try going to a Moody Blues concert.

Yuck!  No wonder they have empty seats!

Pretty neat setlist, although it's missing a lot of killer stuff like
TCtLDoM, Buck's
Boogie, Flaming Telepaths, D&S, which, granted, are pretty standard and
predictable stuff they play over here all the time, but can be counted upon
as crowd
pleasers.  Considering they played short, I'm not sure I'd have wanted Dr.
Music or
Shooting Shark in the list.  ILtN would be great--I think I've only seen it
live once...

Divine Wind is

Hope you hear it.  I would've been pretty bummed over the above set...
