Alive in America, Pt. 1

by Blue Oeyster Cult

Overview

The longer a rock band remains together, the more live albums they're bound to rack up. Thus is the case with Blue Oeyster Cult, as 2006 saw the release of their umpteenth live release, Alive in America, Pt. 1. Most of the expected BOeC classics are included here -- "Burnin' for You," "Don't Fear the Reaper," and "Godzilla," among others. But unlike most other previously issued live BOeC albums, Alive in America, Pt. 1 features strong renditions of such oft-overlooked fan favorites as "Veteran of the Psychic Wars," "Hot Rails to Hell," and "Me 262." And staying true to their biker roots, a pair of Harley classics round out the collection -- Steppenwolf's "Born to be Wild" and the Doors' "Roadhouse Blues." While they may not yet be challenging Motoerhead's crown for most live albums issued by a heavy metal band, Blue Oeyster Cult is certainly gaining ground. ~ Greg Prato
