Blue Öyster Cult is an American rock band formed in New York in 1967. The group is well known for three songs: The 1976 single "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" from the album Agents of Fortune, the 1981 single "Burnin' for You" from the album Fire of Unknown Origin, and "Godzilla" (1977) from Spectres . The band is a pioneer in heavy metal music both for its hard-edged musical assault and its use of sci-fi and occult imagery.

They just come out and play great music! They never disappoint.
I enjoyed this show immensely! Was a trip through memory lane. Thank you Eric,Buck and the gang !
This was the first time I have seen Zebra and they nailed it; Freaking vocals were awesome & the band just rocked & rolled! BOC also nailed it as this was like my 16th or 17th time seeing them. Never a dull or boring performance. My all time favorite band.
This review is terribly late. I saw these other reviews - I blundered and didn’t write the review the band SO richly deserved for their July 5th show in Reno. I rode the train from Oakland, Ca to Reno, NV for a show I was incredibly excited to see. A longtime fan of the band, for some bizarre reason I had never seen BOC live. I was not disappointed. The show rocked and every band member was tight as could be - I sat in awe from the 2nd row seat I had (though it was weird at this venue - they were very hyper keeping people back from the stage, but, oh well. It was truly wonderful. I LOVE The Blue Oyster Cult!
First off I got to give props to Boston they blew me away ! BOC they rocked the house as always.
Was super excited to share the experience of Blue Oyster Cult in concert with my GF for her birthday present. I've been a fan of BOC for over 40 years, and can tell what song is playing by the first few chords. Imagine my disappointment over the course of the entire concert when I couldn't tell what 14 out of the 15 songs were for the first 30 seconds to a minute or more, the only song I knew immediately was Godzilla. Who can't tell that song from the immediate crashing footsteps? The soundboard operator had the Bass, Keyboard and Drums so loud that everything was distorted and the vocals were set so low that it was difficult to make out Eric's introduction to several of the songs. I couldn't make out the majority of the lyrics for any of the songs, and had no clue what Tainted Blood's lyrics even were. During Then Came the Last Days of May, Buck's haunting guitar work and vocals were impossible to determine from the Bass and Drums that literally had my clothes vibrating. I sat directly behind the soundboard only 14 rows up and after the first few songs was moments away from leaving due to the completely unprofessional job, however we stayed in hopes my GF would get to see a flash of the past from the band. Many of the fans sitting around me were commenting after each song was over that they were disappointed also that everything was so massively distorted. I've been to 5 other of their concerts in venues ranging from considerably smaller to significantly larger and never witnessed this poor of a job managing the soundboard. I know that many aging rock groups use louder bass, drums and guitars to drown out the decreased quality of their singer's vocals, and if this is what BOC has been diluted down to, I've seen my last of their concerts.
Blue Oyster Cult gave a great performance, as did the two opening acts, the lead singers from the bands Chicago and Boston. It was a great night of music, with everyone playing their hits! Money well spent for a great show!
The greats: Jason Scheff and Tommy DeCarlo were fantastic! The good: Blue Oyster Cult was good, but played a lot of obscure songs. Would have liked more hits. The Needs-Improvement: The seats in the venue are much better than they were, but NO CUPHOLDERS. Disappointed.
Absolutely EXCELLENT show!! Both opening bands were fantastic ( I’m not a fan of Chicago) but I was surprisingly IMPRESSED!! Blue Oyster Cult TOTALLY BLEW us away!!!
All 3 acts were great! Tommy DeCarlo was smokin'!!! They rocked the house BOC burned out the night!
The sound system and musicianship left no room for improvement… Most of my exposure to BOC was listening to them on the radio for 45 years so I only knew 1/2 of the songs but those were spot on.
Been a BOC fan since 1974. I have seen them at least 15 times in Germany, Alaska, Los Angles, Las Vegas and has always given a great show.
For an indoor venue the music was horrible the group did more solo instrumental playing then singing and what singing they they stretched it out so the singer didn't have to sing it was the worst concert I've been to
Truly enjoyed the show but compared to other shows I've recently attended, it was really short. They played for an hour and ten minutes. Again most other shows I've attended last 2 hours, at least 1 1/2 hours. It's not like they don't have a musical catalog to choose from, coulda/shoulda at least given us an additional 20 minutes to hit the 1 1/2 mark, just my take mind you but I heard similar comments from the concert goers around me. Also would have loved some concert swag but they only offered one generic shirt design, all in L/XL/2XL sizes. They missed out on sales to all us larger (3XL and above) folks in attendance and there were allot of us.
Excellent concert. The band was tight. What was strange was that about 1/5 of the audience left after the last song, not waiting for the encore. Great facility. Aisles were wide. Even better, the seats were comfortable, wider than the normal folding chairs that are used.
Small venue, any seat is a good seat!! Blue Oyster Cult rocked the house!!!
Nice venue and comfortable seating. Band was great.
A fantastic show and wonderful venue on the Colorado River in Laughlin Nevada. Really enjoyed the long extended show the band gave us and the Saturday night was perfect and the $15 whiskeys were a bit too expensive! Had a great time!!
I loved the night and the only issue was it didn't last longer.
We had good seats in the middle, kinda towards the back. BOC didn’t disappoint! Very good show and most people rocked out. Kinda hard getting out to use the restroom but all in all a good experience.
