Three classic platters in three nights: that was the plan BLUE ÖYSTER CULT followed when they set a brief New York residency in September 2022 to mark the collective’s jubilee. The veterans approached their task sequentially, starting with “Blue Öyster Cult” from 1972, dedicating the next evening to “Tyranny And Mutation” from 1973, and leaving a fresh reading of 1974’s “Secret Treaties” for the last “Sony Hall” outing. All of these were recorded and filmed, with the first document issued in December 2023, the second in August of this year, and now “50th Anniversary Live – Third Night” is finally ready for release.
The live album, in which the “Secret Treaties” part is followed by a selection of other tracks, will be out on December 13th in usual formats: two-CD/DVD, two-CD/Blu-ray and three-LP. There’s no official breakdown yet, and the previous chapters excluded a couple numbers that were actually delivered on stage, yet here’s what was played on the group’s third night in their native city.
