Blue Oyster Cult performed to a sold out capacity crowd of 1,050 at Showcase Live in Foxboro, Mass. on March 6. Blue Oyster Cult has a loyal following of fans that flocked to see this rare, up close and personal appearance of a band that has been performing since the late 1960s.
Blue Oyster Cult hit the stage at 9 p.m. and performed a two-hour set of all of their classic hits ranging from “Burnin For You,” “Don’t Fear The Reaper” and their mega hit “Godzilla,” which received a huge response from the audience. Eric Bloom was pleased to be performing to a sold out crowd in the Boston area as he commented on stage of the band’s legacy and reminisced of performing back in 1969 at the Fillmore East.
Veteran bassist Rudy Sarzo, who has rock and roll accolades that stem back to the early 1980s when he performed with Ozzy Osbourne, Whitesnake, Quiet Riot and Dio, was featured in a special bass solo that showcased the classic bass riffs in a medley that spanned his extensive career.
Also at the Showcase Live performance former bassist Danny Miranda filled in on guitar and keyboards for guitarist Richie Castellano. The band sounded very tight and the harmonies of the band were flawless. Showcase Live is located just minutes from Boston in Foxboro, Mass. and fast becoming one of New England’s top venues showcasing national acts.
