The bands on the bill play it loud and fast and hard. If the area was going to have rock 'n' roll, it was going to get the real stuff, not some low-key outfit that parents might enjoy, too. The Randhurst Twin Ice Arena was ringed with police last Friday night when Blue Oyster Cult topped the bill, which included Bob Seeger and Rory Gallagher. Such a combination, it was feared in some quarters, was sure to cut a swath of riot and destruction the length of Rand Road. You know what rock means: loud, primitive music played by a bunch of long-haired screamers for thousands of other long-haired screamers. Rock 'n' roll came to Randhurst and to the surprise of some, the Northwest suburbs are still standing, property values intact. Randhurst remains intact after Blue Oyster Cult Flash pots a blazing and a newer light show which was similar to the upcoming laser light show I would see in September 1976 after AOF was released. The concert was more like a double headlining show. Whether or not he got a soundcheck I can't answer. Once again not sure why Seger was complaining about the sound. Seger played a full hour and the sound was good. I was wearing my new watch I had just received that previous Christmas.įrom then on I started clocking the length of bands sets. I don't know why the press reported that he only played 40 minutes. Oddly "Sinful Love" disappeared from future AOF concerts I attended.īob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band played more than 40 minutes also. The 2 songs they tested were "Sinful Love" and "E.T.I." Both songs got a great and the same reaction from the crowd. I'm not sure where in the setlist they belong.īÖC (Eric) announced they were testing a couple new songs from their upcoming album.

Highlights for me were Last Days of May and Born To Be Wild with 5 guitars. Sadly, I can't recall anything about REO's set which is really too bad because I think they were recording these shows for their "You Get What You Play For" album - gotta be one of my all time top 5 live albums.īOC, as usual, were stellar. Lots of loud, fast guitar for the whole set. We're relying on a 32 year old memory that's pretty shaky anyway, but I seem to recall that Ted tore the place up. I saw them 2 years later at the same venue (the Cap Centre was a fantastic place to see shows - incredible acoustics for a hockey rink) and I couldn't believe it was the same band - they cooked.īack to 4 Jan 76 - REO was up next, followed by Ted. I think Neal had been with the band less than a year. Rush opened the show and was actually pretty horrible. There was a mass exodus to the doors which was too bad, because Leslie gave us a pretty good set - Mississippi Queen and Nantucket Sleighride being the obvious highlights. However, for whatever reason they chose to have Leslie West close the show.
