BOC.com Band Picture

[gary shindler]

I really like Allen's piano intro to "Joan Crawford." Of course I'm a sucker for over the top piano, just like Mike Garson's piano on "Aladdin Sane." 
The last time I saw BOC (with Danny Miranda and Bobby Rondinelli) I was really impressed how much guitar Allen played, to me he was the band's secret weapon. And he dated Patti Smith, too. Too cool.

From http://blueoystercult.com/Band/Richie.html : 

"Since the retirement of Allen Lanier, Richie has switched over to the
guitars/keyboards position, both of which he's quite the master!"

Allen doesn't have a "Former Members" page on the History section of the
site yet. Perhaps it's still in the process of being written.

Either way, a really lousy way to bid farewell to someone who has been
there almost always since the beginning.  This should be fun: 

What is everyone's favorite Allen Lanier keyboard and/or guitar moment?

At very least, his vest and a pack of smokes should be enshrined in the
rock n roll hall of fame.
