Blue Öyster Cult’s new collection of electrifying performances, 50th Anniversary Live – Second Night, is available today via Frontiers Music Srl. This release includes the band’s second album, Tyranny And Mutation, performed back-to-back and is a spectacular follow-up to the band’s historic three-night stint at New York City’s Sony Hall in New York City.
As a kick-off for the album’s release, Blue Öyster Cult fittingly shares fan-favorite “Burnin’ For You” (Live) alongside a music video, available below.
In September 2022, Blue Öyster Cult enthralled fans with a unique trilogy of sold-out shows, each dedicated to one of their first three albums. Founding member Albert Bouchard made a special appearance on all three nights, adding a nostalgic touch to the historic milestone.
For nearly three hours each night, the band delivered a spellbinding set, weaving through the entirety of their now classic initial trilogy of albums and treating fans to a mix of favorites, deep cuts, and classic hits. The atmosphere was electric, and Frontiers Music captured the magic, set to release each night as a special individual package.
