This Blue Oyster Cult concert was really one of the best concerts that I've ever attended. It was very fun, the setlist was great and the venue was sold out with a very excited and responsive crowd.
All Them Witches were a good opening band...more riff oriented than structured songs - but obviously influenced by heavy 70's psychedelic and fuzz bands.
