http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClQcUyhoxTgWell lots of mixed feelings on this one. When I pulled it out of the box, my first thought was "put it back", but randomly selected is what I said. So I slipped it on the turntable, and started singing along right away. I am pretty anti classic rock radio. It's just that their play lists are so narrow and predictable, but that doesn't mean hearing this song once a year is bad.
My BOC memory is seeing the special effects they used to haul around for songs like "Godzilla" (probably may favorite BOC) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiHRm2DioMA . There was one song about the Ayatollah Khomeini around the time of the Iran hostage crisis in the early 80s, and they lyric went "...and he can got to hell," then flames would shoot into the air on stage. I am sure some of you were with me to see this and will let me know the song name.
The best thing to come out of this pick though has to be this You Tube clip of them performing on The Merv Griffin Show. It's like straight from Spinal Tap. From Merv and some guy talking seriously about why big rock acts won't perform on TV, to the costumes and posturing when the band comes out to play "Burnin' for You" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXqLZRwp1II&feature=related .
