Santa Fe gets quite a bit more snow than Albuquerque does. Matter of fact you can ski in Santa Fe. Still, it's nothing like the East Coast. There was eight inches of snow at my house this morning but most of it had melted away by the afternoon.
It really only snows just enough to make everything look pretty (and make the roads hellish to drive).
This particular show was really weird: Buck Dharma was stranded at the Denver airport.
From Eric Bloom's Facebook feed:
An unusual BOC show. Supposed to be with April Wine but they are stuck in Dallas, weather related cancellation. Then Buck texts me, he's stuck in Denver, same problem. We land in Albuquerque ok. And figure out a 4 piece set. Not the same of course but we survived with Kasim singing Burning for the first time and Richie picking up a few tunes. A unique evening. Plus Andy Ascolese on drums.
Not having Buck there was unfortunate, but what were they supposed to do? The alternative was to not play at all. But they went on anyway as a four-piece and quite honestly it was a rocking show. Richie Castellano is a BEAST and his solo last night on "The Last Days of May" is on the very short list of the greatest performances I've ever seen, no exaggeration.
So... was it Blue Oyster Cult? No. Was it a monster band? YES.
It was close to 90 minutes. But they've really stretched out some of the songs over the years anyway. Buck and Richie are both freakshows and the extended jam thing works great.
