Blue Öyster Cult - "ME 262" (live video)

Göring's on the phone from Freiburg
Says "Willie's done quite a job"
Hitler's on the phone from Berlin
Says "I'm gonna make you a star"

My Captain Von Ondine is your next patrol
A flight of English bombers across the canal
After twelve they'll all be here
I think you know the job

They hung there dependent from the sky
Like some heavy metal fruit
These bombers are ripe and ready to tilt
Must these Englishmen live that I might die
Must they live that I might die

In a G-load disaster from the rate of climb
Sometimes I'd faint and be lost to our side
But there's no reward for failure - but death
So watch me in mirrors keep in the glidepath

Get me through these radars, no, I cannot fail
While my great silver slugs are eager to feed
I can't fail, no, not now
When twenty five bombers wait ripe

They hung there dependant from the sky
Like some heavy metal fruit
These bombers are ripe and ready to tilt
Must these Englishmen live that I might die
Must they live that I might die

ME-262 prince of turbojet
Junkers Jumo 004
Blasts from clustered R4M quartets in my snout
And see these English planes go burn

Well, you be my witness, how red were the skies
When the fortresses flew for the very last time
It was dark over Westphalia
In April of '45

They hung there dependant from the sky
Like some heavy metal fruit
These bombers are ripe and ready to tilt
Must these Englishmen live that I might die
Must they live that I might die

Must these Englishmen live that I might die
Junkers Jumo 004 bombers at 12 o'clock high

Άκρως δραστήριοι και ενεργητικοί δισκογραφικά μέσα στο 2020 οι Blue Öyster Cult καθώς έχουν κυκλοφορήσει (προ μηνός) τον δίσκο "The Symbol Remains" συν τρία live albums ("Hard Rock Live Cleveland 2014 τον Ιανουάριο, "40th Anniversary - Agents Of Fortune - Live 2016" τον Μάρτιο, "45th Anniversary - Live In London" τον Αύγουστο) συν τις επανακυκλοφορίες. Στους "ζωντανά" ηχογραφημένους δίσκους προσθέστε έναν ακόμη. Φέρει τον τίτλο "Live At Rock Of Ages Festival 2016" και "βγήκε" προ ημερών...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Blue Oyster Cult and Frontiers Music Srl continue their release of archival treasures from the band’s vault with the December 4, 2020 release of “Live At Rock Of Ages Festival 2016” on CD/DVD, Blu-ray, and 2xLP.

Additionally, the label will also reissue "A Long Day's Night" on the same date (ex-North and South America). BÖC played, as they always do, an inspired set on the second day of the Rock of Ages Festival 2016 in Seebronn, Germany.

The band ripped through an extremely solid and memorable performance that kicks off with "This Ain't The Summer Of Love” and closes with their evergreen hit, “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper”.

In between, the band delivers with hot takes on gems like "Burnin’ For You,” "Golden Age Of Leather,” "Then Came The Last Days Of May,” and “Godzilla”. Another unmissable gem from the band’s vault of excellent archival shows.

See below for tracklisting and further information. In addition to the above archival release, BÖC's "A Long Day's Night" is also due for reissue. Recorded live on June 21, 2002 at the Navy Pier / Skyline Stage in Chicago, Blue Öyster Cult’s “A Long Day’s Night” celebrates, at the time, 30+ years of incredible music from the band.

This release truly highlights the band's phenomenal career up until that point in time. Originally released in 2002 on CD and DVD, “A Long Day’s Night” is now being reissued on CD/DVD, Blu-ray, and Vinyl.

The audio appearing on all formats has been completely restored and remastered to achieve a stunning new listening experience. The set will be available from Frontiers Music Srl outside of North and South America.»
