They Say...
On Your Feet Or On Your Knees, Blue Öyster Cult's first live album (there would be two more), was also its first to peak inside the Top 40 best-sellers, which is more of an indication of the audience the group was building up through extensive touring than of its quality. Songs that had a tight, concentrated impact on studio albums got elongated here, and that impact was dissipated. And the song selection left a great deal to be desired if this were to be a fitting summation of the band's career so far. Perhaps by its 1974 tour, BOC had dropped such classics from its first album as "Transmaniacon MC," "I'm on the Lamb but I Ain't No Sheep," and "Stairway to the Stars," but the less impressive material from the third album was no substitute. (The album did mark the first commercial release of a version of "Buck's Boogie" as well as covers of The Yardbirds' "I Ain't Got You" and Steppenwolf's "Born to Be Wild.")
