There are a number of audience recordings from the 1978 tour in circulation.
The folks over on BOCFANS.COM will be happy to trade with you.  If you have
SEE, then you may know the mildly interesting story about the different
versions of "We've Gotta Get Outta This Place".  The sleeve says the track
was recorded in Newcastle (home of Eric Burdon and the Animals and therefore
very apt!).  However, somewhere between the soundboard and the mixing of the
album two shows got mixed up and the version on the release was from Glasgow
(not the home of Eric Burdon and therefore not so apt).  When SEE was then
reissued on CD, it had the right track on it, finally after years.

The setlists, then like now, change most nights.  Have a look at
www.hotrails.co.uk for details of the setlists for the 1978 tour

My first BOC gig was Hammersmith Odeon 4 May 1978.

And do you really think Spectres sounds muddy?  What about OYFOOYK?  Or Blue
Oyster Cult?  Muddy but genius!
