I drove 2 hrs to see BOC in a snowstorm, but it was well worth it.  I arrived
at the Strike Zone during the opening "'80s Metal" band's last number.  Thank
you Torgo for the directions!  Sorry I didn't get to see you to thank you in
person.  Here's the setlist:

Stairway to the Stars
Before the Kiss
E.T.I.
The Vigil
Harvest Moon
Buck's Boogie
Cities On Flame
In Thee
Live For Me
Last Days of May
Burnin' For You
Godzilla
Reaper

Encore:
Golden Age of Leather
Red & The Black

I'm not 100% sure about the order.  The Strike Zone was an extremely small club,
and there couldn't have been much more than 150 people there.  The good thing
that came of this was that the sound was 10x better than at the Utica gig.  I
could hear Eric more easily, and Buck's guitar sounded stronger (on the whole)
than in Utica.  Eric mentioned the new album, but did not say when it would be
released.  The Vigil and Golden Age came off extremely well.  I had never heard
Golden Age live before, so that pretty much blew me away.  Live For Me sounded
stronger than in Utica, and the response to the new songs was decent.  John
Michelli filled in on drums again (as in Utica), and played really well with
the group.  I like Michelli better than O'Reilly based on the recent gigs I've
seen- I've never seen them play with Chuck Burgi.

Theo, Torgo?  Anything to add?

I want my BOC,
Brian
