I've seen BÖC live many times, starting with Tornado Watch in an old gravel pit (used to construct I-90/I-94) by Eau Claire, Wisconsin in the early and mid '70s. Three guitars and a bass. What a front line! Love 'em.

Here are a few songs from their 2002 show at the Skyline Theater at Navy Pier in Chicago. I lived next to Navy Pier in Lake Point Tower at the time and was at this show (row 12, middle; perfect!). Didn't know they were going to record it. It's an excellent show if you can find a copy of the DVD/Bluray.



Just found the full show.

The first time that I saw them was in '76, opening for KISS.

And four, with Albert Bouchard coming out from behind the drum kit during ME 262.

Yeah, I was gonna say that when I saw the (1978 I think) at Jones Beach the drummer joined the ax line up out front.

Did I mention how outrageous the fireworks show was??

It was!!!

I saw them about the same time - 76 or 77 - in Cincinnati at Riverfront Coliseum with my then GF, later wife, now ex. Don't remember much form the show except all five playing guitars (and bass, I assume) out front at the end. I was impressed.
