saturn Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 My first concert was BOC on the Fire Of Unknown Origin tour. Good to see they are still going with a few original members. This song is actually good IMO. There's even a cowbell reference in the video. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I love them! However, this isn't the kind of song I expected from them. It's too heavy and lacks those fine nuances that makes them recognizable. I am looking forward what else the new album got to offer. Bence.

'Scales Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Just enough cowbell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) I saw them a few years back in Washington State at a casino with Foghat. BOC was so good we left early. The guy who played guitar for Foghat was killer. BOC actually made and announcement in between songs and said "We are going to take a second and tune our guitars so they sound good". It didn't help.

01GT eibach Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I saw them back in the day (early 1980s) numerous times under their alter-billing "Soft White Underbelly" in super small venues . Back then, they were ferociously good live with so many great songs. They are still one of my favorite bands. The new stuff is okay, but I honestly wish it was a little better. The Who's most recent album was surprisingly good (once you remove a couple of filler tracks); I am hoping that BOC hits that same upper tier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Montrose was in the bill. Poor BOC. You can't hold a candle to Ronnie. It was at the Santa Cruz Civic Aud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them live from Secret Treaties right to a year or three after Godzilla came out. I hate to say it but they had really gone downhill by the last show. The last Who album was better than I expected it to be. It had its moments but not the same when half of the band isn't around any more.

Numbers had a good song or two and Who Are You the same, then Face Dances and It's Hard. What trash. Saw the original Farewell Tour, of many they did. They were okay. Loud.
