San Francisco 1980


This is it. One of the greatest live recordings EVER. Beautiful sound, amazing setlist, faultless performance.
This show has appeared under different titles and with different covers but these covers pictured are definately the best ones. The show itself was billed as a 'Soft White Underbelly' show.


The front cover has had the 'Fire of unknown origin' back cover used for it and strangley enough the back cover used is the front cover of ETL with some color changes. All a bit of a mix up really but that's bootlegs for you. Nevertheless it's been cleverly done.
This show has been heavily taken from for the rarities CD on the 40th Anniversary box set.

1. Intro (2.47)
2. Doctor Music (4.14)
3. Lips In The Hills (4.58)
4. The Unknown Tongue (5.37)
5. Cities On Flame With Rock’n’roll (6.10)
6. The Marshall Plan (5.47)
7. Divine Wind (6.01)
8. Then Came The Last Days Of May (8.03)
9. It’s Not Easy (8.22)
10. Me 262 (3.57)
11. Black Blade (8.33)
CD 2. 47:41
1. Godzilla (13.40)
2. Bass Solo / The Golden Age Of Leather (6.35)
3. Born To Be Wild (7.11)
4. Arthur Comics (3.52)
5. Roadhouse Blues (4.01)
6. (Don’t Fear) The Reaper (7.06)
7. Hungry boys (4:13)

My fave ever track of Blue Oyster Cult is 'Divine wind'. It's played at this show however I want to put a fan made video up instead.It's taken the original meaning of the track and updated it with the terrorist angle. It works well.

  1. On August, 2016, I purchased the Complete Columbia Albums Collection from Blue Oyster Cult. But it seems that the the website for downloading the four concerts is not working anymore. Would you please help me find where those downloads can be made? Thank you.
