Top Comments of this video!! :3
BOC video, from their "early days" is so rare. IMO, this one's audio is slightly better than their "Live 1976" which seemed completely void of any bass track. In the mid-70s, Eric's pipes were at their epic peak. "Astronomy" will never sound the same live as it did back then. Thanks for sharing!!!

I love how everything in the film is yellow and orange. And here I thought spectres album cover was just an editing trick but apparently that's just what things looked like that time. In all seriousness this is such an important find and I'm incredibly grateful to both Jim and BOC for helping preserve it.

Thank goodness these Super 8 films exist to show just how great the classic BOC line up really was at their peak ... Jim captured some of the best "on film" performances of many songs (i.e the 1977 riff monster version of ETI on Buck's channel).
The 1977 version of Astronomy here is masterful, the duo of Stairway to the Stars & Harvester of Eyes in 1979 are blistering (esp Buck) & what a pleasure to see Great Sun Jester played live ... the band had an embarrassment of riches after Secret Treaties so many a fabulous song was rarely played after it's original tour (sadly) or even not at all (e.g. Monsters, Vengeance etc ?) ..

I want to say BOC was my first concert that same year. In February, 1977. Best damn show I ever saw. Real lasers!! Buck and Eric, thanks for the great memories and music! Rock on brothers.
