Any chance the full concert will be recorded and later offered as a DVD/Blu-ray or something?Quoting directly from: sonyhall.com/aboutsonyhall/ "Sony’s 4K remote camera system is located throughout the venue and operated by an on-site video specialist. Each of the three cameras are positioned strategically to capture the best footage from multiple angles and all content/data from a live show (performance or b-roll) can be, upon request, provided for a variety of promotional needs."
No clue what they would charge to do it, even if just raw footage, but this sounds like an opportunity just waiting to be taken advantage of!
I’d buy it on blu ray and Cd for sure. I’m not sure if I’ll get to go to one of the shows at this point but I’d love to experience them on video at least.

Bring on the Blu-ray! I’ll be at all 3 shows, but would love these shows for posterity. Plus, just bought a 75” 4K TV… 😉

OK, just a conspiracy theory on whether or not the concert MAY be professionally recorded for some POSSIBLE future use, like a DVD/Blu-ray. Course there are conspiracy theories floating around that there is a base on the dark side of the moon and one on Mars, so take this for what it's worth. Sony Hall's general policy from their FAQ:"Can I take pictures? You can take pictures, although our policy is that flash photography and professional equipment are not allowed. If you would like to obtain a photo pass, email info@sonyhall.com. Please note that individual artists may have their own policies."On the Sony Hall's BÖC concert page sonyhall.com/events/blue-oyster-cult-50th-anniversary-celebration-2/ : "Flash photography, video recording and audio recording are strictly prohibited. Violators will be ejected."
I see similar restrictive language on other BOC concerts from time to time - seems to usually just be some boilerplate that is never meant to be enforced. ...however.... Using 2 different search engines I could not find any halfway similar statement or keywords for any other concert on their website. This assumes that the search engines actually crawl through the pages correctly. It also assumes that the other concert pages have updated information. A lot of assumptions, but something to ponder in your spare time when you get bored. Since we can't make the concert, I'm still hoping for the Blu-ray "theory".

Most venues prohibit flash photography, as well as audio and video recording. Actually, when I saw BOC last Fall at the Keswick Thestre in Glenside, PA, security were busting people left and right just taking cellphone pics (not even video). I had heard that the theatre had toughened their stance, but when I went back four months later for the Neal Morse Band show, all they asked was that no flash photography be taken.

We were at the same show. The staff was waaaay too militant and interrupted a lot of the show for people in the 1st 10 rows. Afterwards, I called and tried to determine who the eff authorized the micro-tyrants to continually walk in front of everyone many many times.. the security jergoffs were ruining the show faaaar more than anyone using a personal recording device and that was for damn sure. There was no real answer because the scenario was so screwed up. It wasn't the band's edict and that was for damn sure. Have been to enough shows at other venues and the digitalis use was FINE. This was purely a Keswick ordeal and one that they did not want to take responsibility for.. I have the MOD name and will be seeing Ted Nugent there soon. Let's hope they have since relaxed their micro tyrant-isms for that show. I'm fairly certain they have relaxed their protocols since then because the issue has not been an issue afaik

I had heard that the theatre had toughened their stance, but when I went back four months later for the Neal Morse Band show, all they asked was that no flash photography be taken. Nothing below is specific to just BOC shows. All just my opinion. I totally understand the "no flash photography" restrictions. That's all the band wants is a bunch of flashes catching them in the eyes. Having never been on stage I can't say how annoying it is, but it could also be extremely annoying to the people around you. I think there always needs to be a balance between what is allowed, not allowed, and what is enforced, and how it is enforced. On the one hand you spend a fair amount of time and money to go see a concert and obviously you would like to capture some of the memories. So to walk away without at least any still shots here and there of the band would be a bummer. A short video here and there would be nice too depending on the circumstances. At least in the past, full peace officers main objective was "to keep the peace". So if somebody sneaks a picture or two then stops, walking through the audience to "enforce" a policy does more harm than good. (In the past full peace officers usually wouldn't bother with enforcement unless requested by venue security because of something getting out of hand. There is also a difference between "against the law" and "against policy") On the other hand there are people who stand up in front of everybody, or if seated raise their phone up way above head level, and record the whole show. Having several people in front of you like that can be REALLY, and I mean REALLY, annoying. If photography is strictly prohibited then those people are essentially disrupting the "peace". That's completely different than somebody in front of you raising their device up eye level and taking a still every once in awhile. All depends on where you're sitting to. If you're on the very front on the far edge of the stage with almost nobody behind you, recording a bunch of stuff probably isn't going to bother anybody. But if the policy is NO cameras whatsoever, then enforcement of SOME kind might be appropriate. Also depends on how formal the concert and venue is too. Strictly enforcing no audio recording - good luck. I won't go into that. In any case I think the band should normally have the final word on what is allowed and not allowed and have some understanding with the venue's security/enforcers on when and how to deal with "offenders". There could be any number of legitimate reasons for strict enforcement or no enforcement. One would hope that common sense would prevail, but we seem to have less and less of that.

Those flashes didn't do Mighty Joe Young any good at Carl Denham's Club.

Buck and I are big fans of the original Mighty Joe Young from '49.Still one of my favorite films I got to meet the still lovely Terry Moore(Howard Hughes GF back in the day) at a Chiller Convention.And she sat next to Joe Turkel an actor I've always liked from his days as a young hood in early 50's films to acting in Kubricks Paths Of Glory to being best known as the bartender in the Shining.Turkel was a really nice guy I must say(haha-very decent guy says Ed Grimley) and originally from Brooklyn.

As in Mighty Joe Young only if some drunk guys got the band drunk first then Eric and Buck could start wrestling with lions on stage.Those ARE the special guests right?

I've maintained that "Mighty Joe Young" was a better movie than "King Kong." (Both of them.) Better FX too. And Terry Moore ignited a realization in a youthful Donny that he found women attractive. Her and Mary Heartline, from Claude Kirshner's "Terrytune Circus" on NYC television. Cameras at SONY Hall, you say? Hee hee hee. Flash photography at an event is useless and a distraction. And just about extinct, except for the odd cell phone. Concert prohibitions on photography are historically about rights protection and artist approval of content, but that cat left the barn a long time ago. Sandy saw Steely Dan in St. Petersburg FL last weekend and the Mahaffey Theater staff were up in anyone's face taking cell pictures or video. Geezus.

I was a little too young for Terrytoon Circus with Mary Hartline tho I certainly have seen her pics in early TV guides.I do remember around 1960 watching Super Adventure THeater with Claude Kirschner and Clowney ("Hey CK") and there's no doubt Uncle Floyds Oogie was just an updated Clowney.

Sandy saw Steely Dan in St. Petersburg FL last weekend and the Mahaffey Theater staff were up in anyone's face taking cell pictures or video. Geezus. I have to wonder about the people that think that using a flash on a cell phone camera sitting back 100+ feet from the stage is really going to improve their shot. What a waste of battery. Maybe they're more interested in getting a better shot of the scalp of the person a few feet away that will get lit up like a Christmas tree? I'm not plugged into the band's economics, but at this point the advertisement benefits of people posting parts of your shows on places like YouTube probably do more good than harm. Back in 2019 we stumbled on a clip of your DFTR Long Days Night performance. Already knew some of the music, but got us real interested in other things. That led to a chain of events looking for other clips, band interviews, etc. which ultimately drew us to pick BOC as our first actual rock concert. Of course the wife then bought T-shirts at two shows and some from your merch outlet online for Christmas. And a DVD/CD set. And 2 premium seats at one of your upcoming concerts. And so it goes.....
