 (11 Customer Reviews)
Recorded live at Academy Of Music, New York, New York; Paramount Theatre, Portland, Oregon; Paramount Theatre, Seattle, Washington; Show Palace, Phoenix, Arizona; Long Beach Arena, Long Beach, California; P.N.E. Coliseum, Vancouver, British Columbia.
Throughout its first three studio albums, Blue Oyster Cult merged intelligently written lyrics shaded with dark occult and sci-fi imagery with a crunching attack, which helped generate comparisons to Black Sabbath and Deep Purple. As good as these records were, playing live was what BOC truly excelled in thanks to extensive touring. Backing up this assertion is the band's first live album, ON YOUR FEET OR ON YOUR KNEES. Although the band was still a year away from its first crossover hit, this live collection was its first album to crack the Top 40.
Powered by the duel guitars of Eric Bloom and Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser, the band included extended versions of epics from the then-recent SECRET TREATIES ("Subhuman," "Me 262") and the prior TYRANNY AND MUTATION ("Seven Screaming Diz Busters"). Other highlights include a great version of "Cities on Flame" (the band's first official single) and "Buck's Boogie," a Roeser instrumental showcase previously available on the ultra-rare 1972 EP LIVE BOOTLEG. The inclusion of crunching covers by Steppenwolf ("Born to Be Wild") and Jimmy Reed ("Maserati GT," a.k.a. "I Ain't Got You") round out what is considered by many to be the first phase of Blue Oyster Cult's career.

Blue Oyster Cult On Your Feet Or On Your Knees Songs On Your Feet Or On Your Knees Music Review Average Rating: (4.8 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews One of the best Live albums of the 70's
If you do not yet own this disc, go out & get it at once. This is BY FAR the BEST BOC live album, and it truly ranks up there with some of the classics such as "Live in Japan" by Deep Purple, "Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out" by The Rolling Stones & "Live at Leeds" by The Who. This was also the first album I heard by BOC when I was in h.s. during the 70's & it hooked me for life. My personal favorites are the spacey synth arrangement on "Last Days of May," as well as the screeching guitar/synth solos on "Harvester of Eyes" & "Seven Screaming Diz-busters." These are guaranteed to send shivers down your spine....check it out!!

At last after many years of trying in the UK, a copy to replace my old vinyl one. Despite digital mastering it still has that gritty slightly rough 'live' quality. At the height of their powers BOC produced a landmark album and a must have for any r n r fans. This is what the music scene needs today, 8 minute tracks, guitar and drum solos. Even after 30 years it still recalls days spent with your head sandwiched between speakers. Go get!
