This chart is just from Wikipedia at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Blue_%C3%96yster_Cult_members - which is just a link off of their main BÖC page, but I had just never stumbled on it. As a "newbie" I see references here and there about somebody that was with the band, but some names I had never heard of or knew where and when they fit in. So the graphic below and link above will I think help put some of the names in perspective at least for ME. So useful to you or not, here it is:  |

HotRails:
Individual Bandmember Playing Stats
Over the years, the band has had a number of "support musicians" who've come in to augment the core nucleus. This section will quantify all their known gig performances. As I discover further previously undocumented past gigs, these previous gig figures will naturally increase accordingly.
NB: I've not listed anyone who just guests during an encore or someone who only gets up for a song or 2 (eg David Lucas - cowbell, Sandy Pearlman - harmonica etc), just the people who played a full gig as part of the band. So... if Albert joins in for a handful of tracks, then that won't count towards these stats, but where he plays at least a full set (eg on an Anniversary gig), then it will...
Albert Bouchard:1091 [ BOC ]54 [ SWU ]42 [ SFG ]
Buck Dharma:4431 [ BOC ]54 [ SWU ]42 [ SFG ]
Allen Lanier:3149 [ BOC ]45 [ SWU ]42 [ SFG ]

Steve Schenck:6 [ BOC ]
Greg Smith:19 [ BOC ]
Kasim Sulton:283 [ BOC ]
Jimmy Wilcox:161 [ BOC ]
Tommy Zvoncheck:166 [ BOC ]
NB: In case anyone was wondering why Steve Noonan and Chuck Berry aren't listed, it's because they never played with the SWU - rather, the SWU played with them as their backing bands. More info on this can be found here.

Jon Rogers:8 [ SWU ] ... Jon Rogers:874 [ BOC ] Just a quick note regarding the stats page - there's a slight cosmetic problem (see above), although I do stand by the actual figures presented. Each band member had a supposedly unique variable name applied to them to set them apart from each other - usually consisting of their initials followed by "_txt", eg "BD_txt", etc. When I was first did the page, I'd spotted that "JR" was a problem because of Jules Radino and Jon Rogers, so I made an exception for the second instance, but what I failed to notice was that in the earlier SWU data figures, I had another "JR" to deal with in the case of Jeff Richards... so although his figures are correct, the appellant label is not - it gets overwritten by the subsequent Jon Rogers label - doh!! If you're wondering why I'm telling you about this error instead of uploading the fix, it's because I currently can't upload as my main Mac has finally - sorry to get technical - crapped out on me... I'm currently trying to get all the old data off it and onto a newer one, so as soon as I get that set up, I'll make the correction... but like I said, the actual figures are all as currently accurate as I can make them - it's just that one "label" that's wrong... |
