Blue Oyster Cult - A Long Day's Night

Blue oyster cult have been around long enough to know how to put on a good show watching this dvd confirms that.All the great songs spanning their 30+ year career are included in this dvd filmed at the navy pier in Chicago in June 2002 its very hard to pick out highlights but I have to mention The Last Days Of May which made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end and is worth the price of the dvd alone The whole band are in top form and are up for it Buck Dharmas guitar playing is spellbinding {when it comes to rock guitar he is one of the most underrated but also one of the best there is) For those of you who only know Blue Oyster Cult from Dont Fear The Reaper (there.s a blistering version of that included here as well) your in for a treat.There.s also Band and Fan interviews(featuring some very die hard fans) included also if you move the selection icon to the centre of the BOC symbol on the menu you get Eric Bloom telling one of the corniest jokes in the history of comedy.So overall great music great entertainment and at the price a great bargain buy it today you will not regret it PS I saw BOC in Glasgow earlier this year and during the encore Eric Bloom came onstage wearing a Scotland football top a nice touch from a great Band CHEERS

I LIKE ROCK MUSIC SO I WANTED TO BUY A DVD FROM ONE OF THE LEGENDS OF 80S. B.O.C IS ONE OF THESE.I HAVE SEEN THEM IN MY COUNTRY 4 YEARS AGO,I ALSO HAVE 6 LPS.NOW IT WAS THE TIME TO BUY A DVD.THIS DVD HAS MOST OF THE FAMOUS SONGS,AND THE PRESENCE OF THE GROUP IS VERY CLOSED. THE SOUND.AND THE PICTURE WAS GOOD,BUT MOST IMPORTANT IS THE THEME.SO I RECOMMENT IT.YOU"LL BE VERY SATISFIED.

Brilliant

Do yourself a favour, if you’ve got the original dvd put it in the bin. This blue Ray release is absolutely brilliant. They have cleaned the picture up much clearer & the sound is incredible. Every instrument is picked up clearer. 2 hours of BOC AT their glorious best. Worth paying the extra money for this revamp version. 😷👍

The DVD features Blue Oyster Cult filmed live at the Navy Pier in Chicago, July 2002. The material on the DVD spans the band's whole career with a few surprises thrown in.The show kicks off with 'Stairway to the Stars' and ends with 'The Red and the Black'. In the midst of these two great songs BOC just keep churning out classic after classic. Notable is an amazing version of 'Last Days of May' featuring the guitar talents of Allen Lanier and Buck Dharma, played with amazing skill and clarity. Of course Eric Bloom and Danny Miranda (bass) and Bobby Rondinelli (drums) contribute with equal finesse.If you are'nt a BOC fan but appreciate Rock Music at it's finest, it's well worth buying this DVD. You'll soon be hooked!

Exactly the same show as the "Live in Chicago" dvd, but the sound is far better. Blue Öyster Cult at it's best with that ever-present sense of impending doom!

Being a Fan of BOC for over 35 years, I had read the reviews of this live recording and waited with some trepidation, while all the songs are BOC classics, some are virtually indiscernable due to the awful quality of the sound mix, the only this that is clear is Eric Blooms Vocals and the drums, everything just fades into the background, if I didn't know the songs I would have had no idea what Buck Dharma was singing.The band themselves must have some responsibility for allowing this travesty to be published, it should never have seen the light of day, compare this to audio only live recordings and it pales into insignificance.I will still remain a fan, but I will not listen to this ever again, I wonder if I can get some money selling, but who on earth would want to by it, besides I would feel dirty and cheap ripping someone else off.

I am so disappointed with 'A Long Days Night'. Not with Blue Oyster Cult, nor the brilliant songs and albums they have produced over the years, or their musicianship. No it's just this show ... this one show. I was fortunate enough to see them play in London a month earlier than this one was recorded and they were truly amazing - almost as good as the first time I saw them. But this is a bad performance and it upsets me to watch it. We all have our off days, but why choose it as a live recording?The high quality of the DVD format shows everything, warts and all. And although I don't want an overdubbed album posing as 'live' I would have patched it up, as the pin sharp precision of bad notes, bad timing and sloppy solos hurts with every viewing ... and what happened to Buck Dharma's voice? It is way back in the mix to the point where you can hardly hear it at times. Even Buck's guitar is mixed into the background, especially when Eric Bloom's annoying demonic laughter drowns out his solo at the end of 'Flaming Telepaths' - ruined. But then Buck doesn't look that well either; his top lip appears not to move at times, slurring his words. It is a real pity because with the exception of 'Astronomy' and one or two of my own personal favorites, it's a great set list, especially to include 'Perfect Water' off of 'Club Ninja' ... but not like this.No, this isn't right. This is not how I want to remember one of the most melodic rock bands of all time; a band I have followed for nearly 30 years. I can't watch it again. I'm sorry.

I'm a long time fan, and I loved it. I never saw BOC back in the day (70s/80s), but I've caught a few of their shows, and they never disappointed. They have always been one of my top 5 bands of all time, and that will never change. Thank you for the tunes.

Sin duda BOC es uno de los mejores grupo de rock de la historia, y Buck Dharma es también de los mejores guitarristas, el solo de guitarra en Astronomy lo confirma, una gran presentación de un super grupo que no es tan popular como debiera.

Grossartiger Konzertmitschnitt einer unterbewerteten Band. Bild und Ton sind richtig gut und es macht Spaß den Jungs zu lauschen. Im Bonusprogramm verbergen sich noch zwei Songs (eventuell vom gleichen Konzert?) in minderer Bildqualität .....was soll so etwas?? Ansonsten wird jeder, der auf gute Rockmusik steht, diese Band lieben und loben (es gibt sie seit über 50 Jahren! )

livraison très rapide, ce DVD est excellent, bien filmé

超の付く名曲が 次から次へ飛び出すBOCファンには堪らないDVDで 文句なし!!…と 言いたいとこですが 文句 1つだけあります('∀`;)何で 同タイトルのCDには収録されている「ASTRONOMY」が DVDでは省かれてるんすかっ!?収録時間の関係で、CDの方が曲の収録数少ないのは仕方ないですけどDVDは曲のカットなんかせず LIVEを丸ごと収録して欲しかった…特に「ASTRONOMY」は超が五つ付く名曲だし…(ρ_;)
