Blue Öyster Cult

In April 1972, when Blue Öyster Cult performed 'The Last Days of May' in Boston at The Music Hall, they were on the brink of a significant breakthrough. This live recording came just months after the release of their self-titled debut album in January of the same year, which had already begun to capture the attention of rock fans with its unique blend of hard rock and lyrical depth. Interestingly, 'The Last Days of May' stands out as one of the band's early tracks showcasing their narrative songwriting, a quality that would define much of their later work. This performance encapsulates a raw energy that characterizes the early days of their career, as they started to carve out their distinct sound in the burgeoning rock scene of the 70s.
