Blue Oyster Cult @ Naperville Ribfest July 6

I was. Pretty sure that was before I knew you. Yeah that cover band was awful.

Yeah, could be.
I think the first time we met was Katatonia / Orphaned Land / etc @ Reggies.

Correct.

This Sunday. Anyone going?
As of now I think I am going to be there.

I know Acid Witch and Jex Thoth are that night too.

Forgot about this. Looks like once again I'm going to have to miss them as I'm on a film shoot...unless we get done early.

BOC goes on at 6:30.

If you end up going, just shoot me a text and we can meet up.

you will never be able to get a hot pretzel or ice cream at any club they play so this is your one stop shopping my good man. Enjoy "Don't Fear the Reaper", "Godzilla" and "Burnin' For You" and enjoy an ice cream sandwich! You just need to LIVE LIFE EASY.

Those three plus "Cities On Flame" and that'd be the four songs I came to see.

for those who are interested to know, I thought BOC were great.

i had been to ribfest before and always thought the stage and sound sucked.

They have upped their game big time. Very professional stage and great sound. Many video monitors too. Felt more like a true outside concert than just your average neighborhood summertime festival show.

Here was the setlist:
The Red & The Black
Golden Age of Leather
Burnin' For You
This Ain't the Summer of Love
Harvest Moon
The Vigil
ME262
Buck's Boogie
Then Came the Last Days of May
Godzilla
(Don't Fear) The Reaper

Wow. 11 songs? I don't feel so bad I missed it now.

It was 90 minutes.
They were the middle band, in between George Thorogood and Foghat.

No complaints here, considering when they played Copernicus Center last December (opening for someone, can't remember) it was like $65

On the upside, they played Buck's Boogie... But they didn't play Cities on Flame!?
