It's always nice to to see BOC. Obviously, they are well passed their prime, but they still manage to always put on a great show. And here we have two shows sandwiched together that produced some rarely played tunes (these days). When the two shows were announced, I knew they would be signficantly different from one another - BOC has such a deep catalog. I figured that they would play Burning For You / Godzilla and Reaper at both shows, but the rest would be wide-open. I was alomost correct in my predicition as they also chose to play Cities on Flame to close both shows.

As far as the recordings go, I nailed the second show as I was very close to the stage and had no recorder issues. Unfortunately, for the first show, I had a recorder flub during the first song and I wasn't as close to the stage as the second show but fortunately BOC plays so loud that helped correct my sub-standard recording position. I'm including a sample from each show.
