In the summer of 2017, Blue Öyster Cult performed live at the O2 Indigo during the Stone Free Music Festival, showcasing their legacy as a rock band that has endured for decades. This performance was part of the "45th Anniversary - Live in London" album, which captures their legacy and features classic hits as well as deeper cuts. Leading up to this live recording, the band had released their studio album "Cult Classic" in 1994, but they made a significant return to the live stage with this anniversary performance, highlighting their enduring appeal and ability to engage audiences. Notably, Blue Öyster Cult is known for their elaborate stage shows and cult following, and this live recording exemplifies their commitment to delivering powerful, memorable performances even years after their initial rise to fame in the 1970s.
