2010: BOC still on tour forever!! Have you got anything to contribute to this page? Reviews, missing gig support band/venue information, ticket stubs, posters, handbills etc etc - if so, let me doMail(em1,em2,em3,"?subject=BOC 2010 History Contributions","know","bocLink"). writeTabHead('1',1,'','',iFPth,'Navigation','tabHeadWhite');sClr('20');JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDecsClr('40');writeTabHead('1',1,'','',iFPth,'January '+wotPage,'tabHeadRed');gigLine("100121",1);Dave DouglassSince this show was at a state fair, I naturally assumed it would be outdoors and general admission, and waited until the day of show to purchase my ticket. What a surprise to find out it was taking place in a small auditorium on the fairgrounds, and the tickets were for assigned seats - and without even realizing it, I ended up with a fourth-row, center-seat ticket! I had a great view, and had never stayed seated so long for any BOC show. I think most of the crowd were probably expecting a lame oldies act, and many rude people were still chatting thru the first couple of songs. But before long, the band had won over the crowd in a big way, and many were cheering wildly by the end of the show. I had never heard them play "The Vigil" before and was blown away - definitely one of their best later songs, full of great guitar parts and vocal harmonies. I was slightly disappointed not to hear anything from Secret Treaties, and out of two or three dozen times seeing BOC live, this was the first time I didn't hear "Cities On Flame". But this was a great BOC show! This current line-up of the band totally screams out for a live CD and DVD. I really enjoy A Long Day's Night, and even though that line-up had Allen Lanier to make it 3/5 of the original band, the group now is truly a monster of energy, finesse and excitement, even at only 2/5 of the original members. Long Live BOC! PS. There was no opening act or following act. Also, BOC will be playing the Hard Rock Hotel in Orlando, FL on 3/25/10, and I'll be there for sure! hClr();gigLine("100129",1);Joe SzyszkaSet List:

Hot Rails to HellShooting shark, Bucks Boogie and The Vigil may not be in perfect order but I believe the song list is complete.Michele WilliamsThis gig was at the Sevens Lounge in the new Casino Queen... opened just 6 months ago. Cool club - only seats 150 people, and the tiny stage was elevated above a semi-circular shaped bar. Small tables filled the rest of the room - pretty art deco decor. We sat at the bar, right in front of Eric's mic. The boys looked dapper in their white and black "casino" dress - Richie in his leather pants! The crowd was really into the show the entire night - singing the lyrics, and Eric was rather chatty... asking about the super bowl, doing a lot of intro talk, etc. He changed up Black Blade for Cities on the set list, I'm guessing because the crowd was so into it. The only glitch was Buck broke a string on the Cheeseburger right after Shooting Shark, and had to switch up guitars.Started again and had to switch back once more for another broken string, but Aaron got it up and running in time for Last Days. Aaron was having a hell of a time maneuvering back and forth on the tiny stage! They played for 1 hour and 45 minutes... sweet! Richie, Jules, and Rudy came out into the club after and we hung out with them for a while. It was just an all around terrific night! Here's a link to some of my photos from the gig:

Hot Rails to Hell (encore)Wayne WoodallWe drove from California to Las Vegas, New Mexico to see the guys. We stayed in the plaza hotel where the band stayed, and got to say hi to them all as they arrived on the university shuttle. I even got shake Buck's hand. Richie was just a few rooms down the hall from us. My wife wore the more cowbell shirt, while I wore the I got a fever, and the prescription is more cowbell shirt. My 5 year old son and 9 year old daughter both wore Godzilla shirts. The show was opened by a very good cover band that played a killer Stevie Ray Vaughn cover as well as a heavy Barracuda cover from Heart. The setlist as best I remember is as follows:It was an hour and 15 minute set per the program, and was accurate time-wise.
Red and the black
Before The Kiss A Red Cap
Burnin For You
Shooting Shark
Buck's Boogie
Black Blade
Last Days of May
Godzilla

Hot Rails To Hell (Richie on vocals)Eric gave a guitar pick to my son, and we had made a poster for Richie that showed him slaying the "Evil Dragon" with his guitar. He smiled when he read it from the front row.Later at the hotel, Richie saw my wife at the computer and gave her a pick for my son, and commented on her more cowbell shirt, and said she wore it well. My wife was flattered. :)I missed one of the 5 or so picks thrown by Buck, and I'm so bummed. I have all of the band's picks but Buck's. Next up April in Upland California, and Pac Amp in July.hClr();gigLine("100220",1);var pList=new Array("100220a",11,1,550,242,136,1,"20 Feb 2010 Ticket","Brian Mikkelson","","","");wNuThumbs(pList,"m",2);David V. NielsenOpening band was Foghat (at least the current version). Biggest news was that Eric Bloom was absent. Buck said he was down with a cold. Show was obviously geared towards Buck vocal pieces. Castellano did good cover up/fill in work to accommodate the missing instrumentation. Set list:

Burning For You
Shooting Shark
Buck's Boogie
Last Days Of May
Godzilla

Encore: Hot Rails To Hell Castellano did vocals on Hot Rails.Solo sections on Godzilla from Radino and Sarzo along with some Quiet Riot nods with a bit from "Come on feel the Noise".Highlight was "Last Days" Castellano did a great job with the first solo like A. Lanier used to do, with Buck taking over and raising the bar with second solo.Surprised though with the relatively small amp stack set up.Brian MikkelsonI went to this BOC show as well!I drove from Salt Lake City, UTAH which is about a 2 hour drive from Wendover to see the mighty BOC play, I can't miss these guys if I can help it!It was a sold out show at the concert hall and the opening band was FOGHAT and they really sounded great with alot of energy which I was surprised on how I really liked them this time, Ive seen them 2 other times open for BOC, but this one was by far the best Foghat show ive seen. The Sound was great in concert hall so I was really looking forward to Blue Oyster Cult's set with this kind of sound. Then the BOC intro started and the crowd was very excited to see the mighty BOC, everyone was on stage but Eric, they announced the band and the mic cut out, so it was already off to a rocky start. The sound wasn't as good as Foghats which was very disappointing and Bucks guitar was really low, I really think they need to fire their sound guy as the last few boc gigs Ive seen they've had sound problems!! After a few songs the crowd was just not into the show, it seemed to me I think we were all wondering where Eric Bloom was!Finally after the song Buck's Boogie Buck annouced the band and told us that Eric was out with a cold!!I must say that Buck did step up as he could but still it was hard to feel in for Eric and It was funny to hear Buck talk so much at a BOC show! LOL! I still think the show was pretty good even with no Eric but Im a HUGE BOC fan, I do really dig Rudy Sarzo in the band, He brings a ton of enery to the band and is always fun to watch on stage!!Well,the setlist was a little short as buck just sung his songs and the ones Eric sings they left out from the set. The funny thing was after Reaper Buck told the crowd they were already over time and a bunch of people started leaving thinking it was over, and about 3 minutes later they came out for an encore and played Hot Rails To Hell with Richie Castellano singing which is always fun to hear!Anyways, not the best BOC show Ive seen but you can't always have the perfect show plus it's never going to be the best without one of the main frontmen of all time, "Eric Bloom"...hClr();jumpInserter();writeTabHead('1',1,'','',iFPth,'March '+wotPage,'tabHeadRed');gigLine("100305",1);var pList=new Array("100305a",11,1,550,345,96,1,"5 Mar 2010 Ticket","Thomas Geyer","","","");wNuThumbs(pList,"m",2);Quick Gig Facts
