BOC: Blue Oyster Cult at the Astoria & all

[Hawkwind1999 at AOL.COM]

Having received comments about the Astoria gig, and having seen the first
date at Milton Keynes, I can only agree that they were going through the motions.

First off, and i am not a doctor so don't take this as fact, but the band
were obviously jet lagged, NYC to Mk in under 48 hours and then playing a gig, i
know i would be F#%*d, and that's without having to do a gig.
However like troupers they gave a good performance, but it was always on auto
pilot, i thought that there were to many empty seats, ( i strolled down to a
seat in the second row that had not been sold no problem), the evening just
did not get going, the support even said that he thought that he would be
performing to a set of furniture.

If anyone is interested, the set was
