Blue Öyster Cult turned 45 during a marathon tour in 2017. Their celebrations peaked with a London concert on June 17th during which the band, already in their seventies, replayed the entirety of their first album. While this eponymous record, originally released in January, 1972, stands on a crossroads between blues, pop and psychedelic music, it’s as a pioneer of hard rock that we remember it most. This performance reminds us and proves that the American band still have it in them. The energy displayed by Eric Bloom and Donald “Buck Dharma” Roeser (the two surviving members of the original BÖC lineup) and their band is powerful: the riffs are sharp (Stairway to the Stars) and the guitar solos are significantly longer and more wild than in 1969 (Then Came the Last Days of May). It's a huge performance which echoes the golden age of metal more than it does the summer of love. © IF/Qobuz
