Blue Öyster Cult

In October 1980, Blue Öyster Cult was deep into their 'Black & Blue' tour, supporting their recently released album 'Cultösaurus Erectus' from 1980. This album marked a significant point in their career as they embraced a more mainstream rock sound, highlighting both their progressive roots and a willingness to experiment. The live performance of 'Divine Wind' at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum showcases their energetic stage presence and the band's distinct blend of hard rock and mystical lyrics. Interestingly, 'Cultösaurus Erectus' featured a notable collaboration with famed producer Bruce Fairbairn, which contributed to its polished sound. This period was pivotal for Blue Öyster Cult, paving the way for their continued influence in rock music, particularly in the heavy metal genre.
