I'm definitely a "first three "Black and White" guy
Me too. Plus Don’t Fear The Reaper.
Despite I got Secret Treaties when it was released in 1974, I caught them live only once in Glasgow three years ago, and, yes, “they were still the Amazing Blue Oyster Cult.”
I requested Astronomy, one of my favorite, and I was thrilled they played it in the encore. They rarely pick it in recent years — in fact, according to setlist.fm, that remains the last public performance of the song to date.
Stones connection? I remember the interview published in the Japanese liner notes that came with Secret Treaties, in which a journalist asked them if it was difficult for a musician who had been around for a long time to stay fresh, and one BOC member answered — “The Rolling Stones still make a good record, don’t they?” Kudos for him.
