Extraterrestrial Live receives my vote (with OYFFOOYK a very close second).

Hey I kinda like Club Ninja too, just too embarrased to admit it.  Thought I
would be flamed for doing so.  OK now all you other Ninja fans can come out
of the closet.

The name of the Album should have been "This Is Blue Oyster Cult"  I bet (no
no no. No more polls) most people on this list who first saw the Cult in the
74-76 era would say that this is Da Band.  Raw energy and as close to the
actual concert sound as any live recording ever.  This to me is THE LIVE
album for any group period.

>*ETL*, although seemingly a more commercial move (capitalizing on the
strength of "Burnin'

ETL is fabulous, any album that has D&S live is worth buying.  The FOUO
songs are terrific and made me a rel fan of that work but the older songs
like Cities on Flame and Hot Rails to Hell just don't stack up to OYFOOYK.
 They sound pretty weak when I play both versions.  I would have preffered
less of the Classics on this one.
