Blue Oyster Cult-On Your Feet Or On Your Knees (1975)

Although officially formed in 1969 under the name of the Blue Oyster Cult, they had already been acting under different names such as Cows or Soft White Underbelly among others for several years.
Its main line-up was led by the duo Eric Bloom and Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser, both guitars and Allen Lanier as keyboard player, Joe Bouchard on bass and Albert Bouchard on drums.
Since their debut with the album "Blue Oyster Cult" (1972) and for several decades they have been publishing a series of great albums that have captivated their own and strangers thanks to their peculiar style of hard rock and psychedelia and their deep and intelligent lyrics.
It should be mentioned that these lyrics are the product of the imagination of Richard Meltzer and Sandy Pearlman, who have been a fundamental part of the band in addition to the production of many of their works.
In 1975 the band was in one of its peak moments and at that time the direct "On Your Feet Or On Your Knees" was published. where a review is made of his first three albums, the masterful "Tyranny and Mutation", the superb "Secret Treaties", in addition to the aforementioned debut album.
"On Your Feet Or On Your Knees" is a live album that wastes energy everywhere with incendiary songs and powerful riffs of great psychedelic heavy metal.
From the initial "Subhuman", to the Steppenwolf version "Born to be Wild" that closes the album, through the wild "Hot Rails to Hell" or "The Red & The Black", the plethoric "Buck's Boogie", the magnificent "Then Came The Last of May", the atmospheric "7 Screaming Diz-Buster" or the rocker "Me 262".
Without a doubt one of the most powerful live shows of the 70s that has nothing to envy other live albums published in the same decade.
