I miss the old Sunset Strip... That Secret Treaties billboard would have been across the street from the original Tower Records and a couple blocks down from Ben Franks.

BÖC at the Ho-Chunk? That's like just up the road from me! (Leave before Kansas, get on down Hwy 12 before it gets too dark and arcane out there.)

haha yeah what's Ho-Chunk like (best casino name ever!)...we actually are driving down from Minneapolis, about 4 hours, so we gotta couple double rooms at the casino itself and are just planning on getting tanked during Kansas and leaving if they are too lame...actually though Kansas has a surprising amount of original members (3/5)...though a little sad one of the greatest 70s rock bands has to open for one of the corniest

Hey guys apparently Kansas still do some of the prog epics, not sure if I'm selling it to you here tbh. At least BOC aren't supporting Styx.

honestly, just because we were totally cool with going to see BOC alone I'm kinda geeked to see Kansas in a weird way, though I hope it means that BOC doesn't get a short set :(
― the penultimate prophets (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 2 April 2012 20:33 (twelve years ago) link
They did "Last Days of May" when I saw them a year or two ago, it was great. So they probably still do it.
― NWOBHamster (J3ff T.), Monday, 2 April 2012 20:40 (twelve years ago) link
cool, yeah from setlists i've seen they definitely seem to do a lot of "real headz know the deal" type songs still
― the penultimate prophets (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 2 April 2012 20:50 (twelve years ago) link
I don't think I've ever seen them *not* do "Last Days of May", it's a Buck showpiece
― Stormy Davis, Monday, 2 April 2012 21:39 (twelve years ago) link
Last time I saw them (2010 -- really still bummed that I didn't see them at all in 2011) the opener was Foghat. Who had 1 of 4 original members, the drummer . The rest of the band was made up of the bassist who joined in 1976 (so okay, that is kinda old school), the guitarist from Wild Cherry of "Funky White Boy" fame, and another singer/guitarist who had played on some late-70s Ted Nugent albs (not Derek St. Holmes -- some other guy)
― Stormy Davis, Monday, 2 April 2012 21:43 (twelve years ago) link
and they were actually pretty good!
really like Foghat but it's not that hard to recreate their songs, pretty simple so you could plug a lot of people in there and they'd still be okay
Ho-Chunk is probably not the MOST depressing Indian casino. So there's that.

this is one of my favorite ever ILM posts:
What Contenderizer wrote upthread is completely true to me too. I can only add that the alien, unseizable feeling surrounding BOC was further amplified by what seemed to me their almost quintessential Americanness.They have the same hazy, dream-like quality of those old 50's horror movies, always walking the fine line between the familiar and the utterly arcane, always evoking a fantasy world where cars, drive-ins, rock n roll, sorcerers and labyrinthine Gothic mansions could stay side by side.I discovered Blue Oyster Cult around the same time I stumbled into Chrome, and both bands are for me like the perfect soundtrack of this dark, imaginary continent I thought it was America.
