This reminds me of a clip I saw in an old (1975) high school
newspaper that one of my elder siblings had lying around.  The paper
published concert dates, including a 1975 appearance in Salt Lake
City by BOC (as the headlining act).  REO Speedwagon opened for them,
IIRC.  The reference cracked me up because the band was referred to
as "those weird heavy metallists, the Blue Oyster Cult".

Unfortunately, this was before my time.  I never saw the band in
their prime (i.e. original lineup intact).  8/
