Blue Öyster Cult

In the midst of their resurgence, Blue Öyster Cult was riding high with the release of their album "Curse of the Hidden Mirror" in 2001, which came just before the live recording on November 30 of that year at Kool Haus in Toronto. This album showcased a blend of classic hard rock with fresh lyrical themes, appealing to both long-time fans and new listeners alike. The setlist from the performance includes iconic tracks like "Burning for You" and "E.T.I. (Extra Terrestrial Intelligence)," emphasizing their knack for marrying thought-provoking lyrics with catchy melodies. It's interesting to note that the band's ability to blend different genres, including elements of science fiction and myth, has been a hallmark of their style, making this live recording a vibrant snapshot of their continued influence in the rock landscape.
