Just north of Orlando. Haven’t seen the boys in over twenty years. Crazy. Saw them a good eight or nine times between 1981 and 94. They must’ve played Jax the first four years I lived there but not in about 24 years or so now. So I’m damn sure not passing on this since I’m actually in the area of a show.

Looks as though they’re playing some great deep cuts on this go-round too. Gonna be awesome.

Make sure you scream "MORE COWBELL !!" during Don't Fear The Reaper.

Lucky you, That's a band I would really like to see.

I've actually been on a BOC kick all morning. Watching their 10/9/81 show on youtube. I'm falling in love with Eric Bloom's guitar parts more than ever before.

They were the “intellectual” metal band according to many observers

If they play Dominance And Submission I definitely will!! Haven’t seen it on recent setlists though.

Lakeboy had a good suggestion. Self-titled debut is fantastic too. And I really love Mirrors as well. Not a weak song on it. Can’t really go wrong with any of it though.
