I see the point shoeshoe, is making, but I would prefer to see recent posts as a widening of the focus – I realise some they may not be strictly Capitol-related, but this is all interesting stuff straight from the guys who were on the spot (no pun intended) at the time, and questions asked and answered here could all help to document a very important period in not just the Capitol but also adjacent venues… my vote – from an armchair viewer located in a different continent – is please carry on with the nostalgic musings…
Blue Oyster Cult played at the Capitol on these occasions:
21 Sept 1973: BOC supported Slade
27 April 1974: Ross & KISS supported BOC
16 Feb 1976: Slade & Dr Feelgood supported BOC
8 May 1976: with Slade [i have a ticket stub for this show but it seems an odd one coming so soon after the Feb show… maybe the Feb show was cancelled and this was a makeup gig?]
12 Feb 1980: Off Broadway supported BOC
26 Dec 1981: The Rings supported BOC
22 Feb 1984: Girlschool supported BOC
If anyone can confirm/deny (or even add to!!) any of the above, I’d love to hear from you (ralphATmacdigital-uk.com).
