Blue Öyster Cult - Live Performance of Cities On at Zeppelinfeld 1983

Date: April 9, 1983

At the time of the live recording on April 9, 1983, Blue Öyster Cult had just released their album "The Revolution by Night" earlier that same year. This marked an interesting phase in their career, transitioning from their earlier hard rock roots towards a more radio-friendly sound, driven in part by the heavy use of synthesizers. The concert in Nürnberg not only featured tracks from this fresh album but also classics like "Cities on Flame with Rock 'n' Roll" and "Harvester of Eyes," showcasing their ability to blend new material with fan favorites. Interestingly, the band was experiencing a resurgence in popularity during this period, tapping into the rising heavy metal scene, which amplified their already diverse musical influence.
