The Blue Oyster Cult and Lynyrd Skynyrd Roadie Rumble
In 1974, Southern Rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd Were a Hot Tickets Rising in Music, With A Run that Wold Be Tragically Three Years Later by a plane crash that killed three members. But on September 30, 1974, Skynyrd Found Thellves Playing Second Bill to Fellow Classic Rock Act Blue Oyster Cult (Best Known for Their Song “Don’t Fear the Reaper”).
